swehI think I'm becoming anti-social. Maybe it's a function of my tiredness, but I really don't have much time for stupid fuckwits at the moment. I was recently on a Solaris 10 training course and the trainer was quite knowledgable outside of the course, which helped, but he made some obvious (to me, anyway) mistakes and I had to bite my tongue a lot. At one point it was just too much; he was running a dtrace program to snoop exec's and saw 8 of them when ksh ran a bad command (eg "dkfjkdfjdk") which matched his PATH size, but he then explained it as 8 forks, each doing a single exec despite the fact that the PID was consistent. I tried to tell him his explanation was wrong, but he had the "I'm the trainer, I know best" attitude. I'm thinking of dropping out of usenet, because the stupidity I'm seeing there is depressing me.
It was my 38th birthday last week, and I look back on the past year and wonder just WTF I've done with it. It seems I spend so much time fighting fires or being lazy that I haven't actually achieved anything. The house still needs the electrics looking at (or at least two lights put up); the walls still need insulating (so I'm gonna get drafts again this year); my dozens of potential projects haven't moved forward by one iota. *sigh*
And today I've been a lazy shit rather than doing housework; I need to vacuum and clean the toilets. I don't suppose I'll have time now before my parents visit next weekend (Saturday I'll be busy out of the house). Eh.
TMI
And I have haemorrhoids.
