the company i work for was recently bought by a MUCH bigger company and the new owners came to visit their prey today....
besides i like to work in small companies and i hate to be part of a multinational enterprise (and i really liked our old boss. he was tres cool and most of all didn't show up very often


"mr. cider, you'll be glad to hear that we trade all the mail and internet traffic now via one of our own servers/doodads located in (insert far away location here).bandwith is exceeded too! but i fear fighting-irish.org is NOT a work-related website.
CAD.de is work-related , but the forums consist of a off-topic area, we can't tolerate that, sry"
they are going to shut down our trusty 90mhz pentium running suse linux which handled the complete mail and internet traffic in our office! this computer is like a friend to me! it's like killing a puppy! i now have a mega-gazillion mBit internet connection at hand and all it is used for is some nail-painting secretarys sending dog-damned reports to some remote hq in hahah/dribsdrü!
gone are the days of lightning-speed patch-downloads...
"mr.cider, we like your draftings but please bear in mind that you have to use our great company-wide cad-standards."
i hate you. i hate your company and most of all i hate your standards. it´s not just because i hate the system (why do i have to call layers for eg. a wall "tr3_45tzu_878wg_uz9" and not "wall") but i have to change about 500 block and 30 handmade applications just because some of your eggheads decided "wall" sounds to rural!!!??????

i really loved my work. i could rant on and on but that´s not the place i think. glad i could write this off my chest, though. i think i`ll meet some workmates and drink meself into oblivion... (what`s the irish word for hangover? - morning)
cya!
