At the one show, there are danishes and muffins on Saturday mornings for the dealers and I will indulge, but that is before the show.

I see you are a team player.

I slept about 7 hours but am already falling asleep sitting here. Have no idea how I am going to make it until I get home around 9 this evening.

My guess on the reason we re-won the contract this last time is that this is a worldwide contract and the employees at the other sites must do a lot better job than we do here.

And read my response to Crosby. I have no system administration privileged credentials to fix issues because I'm a manager.

Which shows how dumb your company, the contract and the government are. If someone can fix a problem in the real world, they do it.

Unless you work for a company like moldy or BD.

Who cares? Get your hands dirty and show the team the manager is part of the team!

I'll usually take care of the stuff you don't need administrator privileges for like keyboard, mouse, and CAC replacements.

The government only trusts certified personnel to give administration permissions too. If a regular user had access to everything on the workstations, it would be chaos and we would probably be causing a denial of service attack on ourselves and helping foreign governments gain easy access to sensitive networks.

Don't stress yourself out too much today.
