Stupid Cisco VPN client for blue screening my PC at an inopportune moment. I really don't care about your IRQ conflicts and quite frankly would prefer you keep your petty little disputes to yourself. What am I, the bloody IT UN?
And more so, for not just losing my work, but for comprehensive fucking up any attempt to subsequently connect via wireless, so I have to spend my morning restarting XP, switching routers on and off, and reinstalling the VPN client before giving up and using the Mac. How the fuck can such a 'business critical' piece of software (that's you, VPN client) be so comprehensively and utterly shit. I mean, it's intended for home users, those who don't have direct access to IT support, and might not be expected to be diy IT guru. So what do they do? Invent some grim Windows 95-style user-hostile interface to a piece of software that delights in fatally crashing Windows. And not just crashing it in the wussily having to ctrl-alt-del or perhaps restart fashion. Oh no, instead it rampages like Godzilla on a Friday night Yates-fuelled booze binge through the rest of the computer's network settings. I'm kicking your DHCP connection in the head with my giant mutant lizard feet.
And thanks also to our IT department, who will happily look at the problem for me, if I log a remedy ticket. On the helpdesk system. Which is only accessible via the VPN. Genius.
I guess I'll fix the sodding thing myself. And then hunt down everyone responsible and kill them.
