Copping Out

Guys. I'm at work.  Isn't that just thrilling?

Currently I'm working through the User Guide for MedView (one of the the programs MedImage produces) and updating it to accurately represent v. 11.7. This is not as tedious nor as stimulating as it sounds (I've found it can go either way). I spent two hours earlier fixing links that I had spent the previous hour creating, because I realized that when you're making a webpage, if you link to a page that is under a different set of files you have to prefix your reference with "../../" I learned this half an hour into trying to figure out why the fuck all the pages I created wouldn't load from the index. I learned this after I figured out that when you're linking to a page that is contained within the SAME set of files as the page you are linking FROM, if you include the reference name of this set of files the page STILL wont load... because... wait. You guys really couldn't give less of a shit, could you? I could go really hardcore in depth about this, if you want. No, I'm serious. I can use examples. Seriously!

Fucking damnit, is my job... wait. I LIKE MY JOB. Ahahaha. I have 6 more User Guides to bring up to date.  For the rest of them it pretty much entails finding the page that has the version history and updating it to have the date of the most recent version update (date date date, date? date! Repetition!). This is made somewhat easier by the fact most of the user guides, from what I can tell, don't HAVE a version history. 

If you're unclear as to what I'm talking about when I say "User Guide" then I have this to say: Fuck You, but you're not alone. Because no one EVER FUCKING READS THE USER GUIDES. EVER. They're the most useless piece of shit since Landon. Or Vice Versa. Whatever. And yet I'm somehow getting paid to do this. 

I'm unsure whether to rage or gloat.

Anyway, there is a piece of paper, JUST ONE, decorating the four walls of my tiny little office. It's been there ever since I can remember...before this was even technically an "office". It used to just be a closet for x-ray image scanners that has one computer and it's a Dell, which means it's never been used, except maybe to test MedView... in 1993. 

Anyway, it says:

"beta tester, n. One who voluntarily entrusts their data, livelihood, and sanity to hardware or software designed to destroy all three. In earlier days, virgins were beta testers of volcanos"

Encouraging, isn't it? 

In other news, I have a kitten trying to shove his face into my nostril. That is all.
