The Old Eng thing, that's heavy lifting, which is best done in a team. The ghosting thing, that's something which it's a lot harder to get help for, or to use it sensibly. Due to bandwidth and VLAN issues, not to mention that there are fucking classes in there, the labs must basically be done one at a time. If something goes wrong, like the fiasco with the ethernet drivers, then you can't predict or plan for that, in order to get someone in to help with it, especially if it's outside sane working hours.

It's just a long hard slog, but usually we're able to start earlier, and don't have to start from absolute scratch, and don't have to install tens of gigs worth of stuff we've never seen before, and don't have to set up the network as we go, and don't have to have everyfuckingthing installed everywhere.

It is at this stage, alas, not really something that I can sensibly ask for help for. But being allowed to just fucking get on with it might be nice. And not have Thomas giving me shit “Oh, nice of you to join us, what is your excuse for being late today...” Fuck off Thomas. I'm getting to the point that if he tries that shit on again I won't just give him the usual look, I'm telling him to fuck off to his face.
