This guy probably has a valid point, but with all the other insanity this morning, I find it unlikely. To me he comes across as a secretary that is bitter for having to do his job. He actually thinks that an old engineer not knowing PowerPoint is "fraud" because anyone with experience should know it? Maybe anyone with experience as a secretary, not in IT.

It's funny - I run into those types all the time. The reality is that if you're not in IT, you likely think that IT is just anything and EVERYTHING to do with computers, and well shit, you must know it all, everything from how to install hardware to desktops applications to building websites, databases, etc.
Oh I run into them, but not normally in IT.

Yesterday I discovered that we weren't able to send / receive external emails... little digging, discovered that our domain had expired. Emailed the boss, high importance, and...... he ignored it. So now, we are waiting for DNS propagation to happen, dead to the outside world.

Maybe he could not longer log in

Email was down so why would he check his email?

We figured out that the domain in question was under a separate account from all the rest of our domains. So yes, he basically couldn't log in because we have no idea what email was used to get the domain in 1997.

Internal email works fine, external email was hosed. But no spam in the filter today!

I didn't sleep well last night on top of the fact that it was a busy morning, and I had only one cup of coffee this so later in the morning I stated out loud "I need a drink". What I meant to say/mean was "I need another cup of coffee" but it just came out "I need a drink" which with the last two weeks here it is not far off.

@DustinB3403 Luckily I have a taste aversion to alcohol

Meaning the clearer and less taste the better. I think you and I would get along fine.
Vodka Shots on me!

I have an aversion to the taste of "not alcohol".

By the way, AFAIK, this is the busiest IT community thread.... on the Internet!

I can handle my coffee when no alcohol is available.

Funny enough, I hate the taste of coffee with alochol in it.

So do I.
Something about it, just never enjoyed it.
I can drink after coffee though, or double-fisting if I really had too, but not mixed.
-
Yup, both at once is fine. It's like alcohol is too thin and makes the coffee thinner than it should be. And hot alcohol is rarely good.
-
Hot buttered rum is one of the worst drinks ever.

So had results from MRI scan and not good news
they've found something (can't remember the full thing but the only words I remember is abnormal and tumour, even the gp I saw wasn't fully sure what it was) so not allowed to drive now and waiting for appointment with neurologist.But not going to let it get me down just look forward until I get more answers and see about treatment.
So having a few days off work then have to find out how to get 25miles into work each day
