Dear lovely employers,

How the fuck do you expect me to troubleshoot with tools that don't work. I'm tired of this daily BS session I have with customers while I pretend to be troubleshooting, but instead I'm buying time for your crappy java-based programs to work.

That is all.

My dad used to come home from work every night ranting because his company switched from a simple TELNET program they'd been using for 15 years, to a Java application called Oracle that IBM made. I had to use it a few times when I worked for him and it was terrible.

Convince management to just give you web-based tools!

Supposedly this new tool that we're going to be using is web based... and our NOSS tools program is also, BUT it pulls from our DSLAMs and some of our Linux stuff, so of course it doesn't function properly when they decide to tinker with the code to make it more "functional".

Aye

I hate Java for applications. Why use Java when the simplest of Access databases would do fine? May not be pretty but its FUNCTIONAL.

Bastards.

It could be worse: it could be the client we use at work, which is .asp/Visual Studio.NET-based, and breaks under heavy loads (100+ users), and resets everyone's permissions and queue-access every time they 'fix' something..... *mutter*

We have web-based apps here too. They wouldn't be so bad except we go over a vpn to get to them. If they put the front end server local and the back end central then things would be sooo much faster and reliable. That's the whole idea of having multiple call center sites.

My favorite is...

We also have java-based apps for one part of the company which we have nothing to do with other than making sure the brainchildren have the latest JRE. However, it always makes me all tingly inside when the company that runs the web app changes something on their end and conveniently forgets to mention the new configuration to us. Just tingly I say.
