I'm a bit of a prick

And a coward.

I went to sleep around 11:45 last night. And woke up suddenly at 3 wheezing slightly. I wasn't breathing properly, but I wasn't tired anymore for some reason. I went back to sleep around 5, gave up trying to sleep at 5:15 and have been up since. As a result I've been in an awful mood all day today. I've been snapping at people, drifting in and out of consciousness, becoming loopy when I made a $300 sale (I should be making $3000 sales) and just feeling really shitty.

I was in a bad and strange mood, but that doesn't really justify what I did, just sets the stage for it.

About half an hour ago, Seamus and I were asked to help move some servers from here (work) to our server farm in another building a few blocks away. These servers are heavy, and required four guys and a cab to transport.* We loaded the servers into a van taxi and drove. I expensed the cab fare. They gave me a taxi chit that I just fill out for any amount. Someone's getting a nice tip.

I expected a high-security joint with armed guards and secret passwords. With the exception of one door with biometric fingerprint authentication, there wasn't a single person to be found. We were just four guys carrying $100,000 of equipment. The ground floor was the top floor. We went to level S2, which, by all appearances, was a parking lot.

Am I wrong here?

There is an email thread going on here that seems to be a little fucked, depending on your point of view. Since this is my blog, I'll show you my point of view.

Hi JonasParker,

Your branding logo has not been removed from our product...We paid extra for this...

So I forwarded it on to technical support. Keep in mind, if this is a little snarky, I think it is deserved. I went through hoops last week for them AND for the customer.

This has not been taken care of. This is looking very bad.
