Downer

Ok, so I am in Elizabethtown now and working at my summer job again.  I love the people, i love the atmosphere, but there is one issues that will never escape me.  Its called limited permissions and here is my case.  I have been at the company for 3 summers now and have proven myself every year.  Yet, it seems that every year I return I have fewere and fewer persmissions to work with.  I do realize i am part time, I am just an intern, and everytime I return there are new bosses with new policies and new ways of doing things.  I get that, I don't get not giving someone enough permission enough rights to do his or her job. 

Think about this today someone sent a work order to see who had a particular file open on the server because they needed to some work on it and it was locked.  This is a very simple task of connecting to the file and print server's compmgmt.msc console and going to System Tools>Shared folders> Open Files, this is a very easy task.  There is one problem though you have to have pretty substantial rights to access this, however,  I know you can give a group rights to certain objects and not allow access to others.  This would be nice.  Instead of putting in red tap everywhere and making work orders wait in the Database for several days until the guy with the rights comes in and you can talk to him.  Its stupid why create this black hole, I am not asking for the rights to grant permissions to add Security Groups in AD or change the Global policy.  I just want enough rights to do my job, to handle tickets, hell to learn.  I think is a saying about putting a goldfish in a small tank, it says he won't grow he might even shrink, if you put the goldfish into a large tank he'll grow to be really big.  I think this is kinda what is going on, I mean think about it I am in a small permission set and it feels like my brain just turns itself off cause I know I can not do anything about certain tickets so I don't even  attempt to troubleshoot (half the time I don't have the rights to troubleshoot properly). 

I just think that before glorified Senior Admins, Top Mangement, decide to restrict Junior admins, technicians, they should think about how much time they are wasting by throwing in so much red tape.  I know it is a requirement but think it through, be smarter.  Eventurally workers will like the fact that you care.

Davinci Code Attacked

Alright, I am a Christian, I like to read and I like to read Dan Brown books.  To some people apparently this is a sin.  I was watching a show tonight that was just one of those that jumped out while I was doing a flip through on the channels and I saw some theologians talking about the DaVincie code being a total disgrace, blah, blah, blah.  They were basically saying the the Davinci Code portrays Jesus and Christianity into a shame and all these other allocations.  Another point they brought up was the fact that it makes Leonardo Davinic look bad.

Ok, so I am a Christian, I also understand the fact that a book is a book.  Dan Brown is a author, and he has the write to write about anything he wants ( I think that is the first amendment, this is also how I can write about the stuff that he writes about) I am also aware that the reason that people can worship whatever they want and do what ever they want is based on the same thing.  And yes they can say the stuff they are saying about hte DaVinci Code; however, seriously though wtf mate, get off of the book its fiction for the love of pete.  I mean come on.  So what if he makes up all kids of crap and puts into the most kick ass plot ever.  DaVinci Code is what made me start reading again.  Why not read something that captivates the mind??  The DaVinci Code didn't make me start not believing in God or the way I was taught about Jesus or from what I have read about in the Bible.  It didn't make me doubt the Church either.  Its a book, and I for one am going to see the movie which I think will kick butt, just like I saw Passion of the Christ.  I didn't really hear any complaints oh wait the Jewish community did about that too.  But hey you can say what you want I just wanted to rant about the fact that the DaVinci Code is a fiction book full of speculation, any reader can determine this, I mean come on.

I hope that if people thought DaVinci Code was bad that they will really be pissed off about Angels and Demons, which I thought the book was even better than the DaVinci Code.  I really hope that this gets made into a movie as well.

Stress

Yes, school is ending which I love.  Don't get me wrong I love college, I like the people and the free atomosphere, but there is something called FINALS in college.  I am not going to lie these are some though tests, but then there is one thing every college student hates with a passions the FINAL PROJECT.  If you ever have a professor talk about a final project just leave the class, don't bother sticking around.  If you leave you have a chance of living a longer life in the end.  If you don't leave you will be like me in a constant state of stress about the project and what must be done.  The pain of the Final Project is just the amount of work to be put into it.  One of my professors gave us our project 1 week before class was over.  The project is due next week.  WTF, how the hell can you do that to people.  Either don't give the final or something, to me its ridiculous.  I hate final projects.  I can't wait to get the work over with.
