Little bit. As I've been working more with using it as a planning tool, I actually like it better.

I don't know whether to hit the joke or the rant icon. Or both.
I can't even make a phone call from the phone at my desk. After smashing some buttons, the phone is "booting." I kid you not. It's a VOIP, currently doing a DHCP lookup or whatever. Now it's doing HTTP calls. There's a screen showing what it's doing...still not working....

Well, most have a vibrate mode. Or so I've been reminded by some lady-friends.
More details than that, and we'll need to move this to the soapbox.

Did you try rebooting it?
My VOIP regularly irritates me by rebooting and losing certain settings.

That is so interesting.
I had to make a call today. I picked up my desk phone (IP phone) and began dialing.
I had pressed 3 or 4 numbers and it wasn't doing anything.
I said (out loud to myself) "Can you not just dial a number on this thing? How do I dial a number?"
Suddenly, all the digits appeared on the screen and then I could hear the next numbers begin making number-pressing sounds.
It's all junk!
Say all you want about our old rotary phones. They worked. Yes, 8s, 9s, and 0s were a pain to wait for while the rotary spun back around, but they worked.

They even worked when the power was out too. I'm just old enough to remember the house having one.

Now can I get away with disabling skype messenger I wonder.

I don't know but I once sold someone a piece of paper that had all the different species of cows on it for a few bits. I called it a cattle list for change.

It's one of those mornings, where I need to be awake enough to fill out the annoying DB migration forms and submit them to one of the worst UX web sites, our internal SDLC site. But I also want a valium to ease the stress of doing this BS.
I think dark chocolate is a good compromise.

Irish coffee - so you can simultaneously wake up, and drown your sorrows.

Skip the coffee and increase the whiskey, and maybe make it a double. Another option...weed.

Sounds to me like you need to find a new gig. I am guessing that the pay is not bad, as you are still there, miserable, like John does from time to time wit this government gig.
I wish you peace and tranquility in your adventures.
