So let’s go through the rundown of today’s annoyances, just for kicks:

• The copy of Napster on one of the FM studio computers. Argh.
• The copy of Limewire on one of morning show hosts’ computers. Double argh.
• The complete inability of an out-of-office client to follow very, very simple instructions. “Click this link. Click this next link. See files? Good.” Apparently the second step is beyond their ken. Triple argh.
• The utter discombobulation of the print system on one particular computer, to the point where the only way I’m going to get it printing again is to throw it on the bench first thing tomorrow for a nuke-and-repave job. Extra quadruple argh with a cherry on top. And I don’t like cherries.
• People who use other people as a buffer for tech support calls. Hi, I’m not an ogre, and I really appreciate not having to go through an extra layer of communication when there’s a problem that needs fixing, so stop having other people make your damned support calls, okay? Argh quintuplets.
• Impossible and/or conflicting mandates from management. Argh, argh, argh, argh, argh and goddamned argh.

And this is one of the better tech jobs available. Maybe I really am in the wrong line of work…
