I think I've decided that I really dislike working outside of the office. Days like today make me realise that I really hate working with other people, while working with computers. Everybody has their own ways of doing the same thing, and more often than not, they're all incompatible with one another.

I've been doing TCP/IP for a while now, and while I know damn well there's a whole world of knowledge that I dont even know that I dont know anything about, I do realise that I'm rather clued-up on certain small areas. Network Address Translation (NAT) and basic TCP/IP packet structure are two such small areas.

I'm also rather stubborn. If I know something, I'm not going to back down when somebody tells me otherwise. So, that's what happened today. Somebody told me that blue was red, and that there was no possible way it could be otherwise. Two hours later, we got the network up and humming (just like it HAD been) using another persons methods. Despite my protests otherwise, mind you. In the end, I simply gave up, stepped back from the laptop and offered control of the network.

Here. *shove* You do it.

I'm back in the office now. I'm back on my desk, with my mug of coffee, and my little stuffed Tigger that sits on my monitor. I'm happy in my own little ivory tower. They dont pay me enough to fight about every small tiny detail of networking.
