I am a solutions kind of person. Yes, I like my whine (with cheese) but that's an outlet for frustration with a world that doesn't work as smoothly as I think it should. (Frigging entropy.)
Government fiefdoms ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF ME.
Little people protecting their little patches of dominion, with their egos at stake, puffing up their authority to seem bigger.
Oh, please.
Right now, we have a resourcing situation.
Resource 1: knows the work, developed the application, is in another state.
Resource 2: is busy with other work, doesn't know this patch of the work, is on site.
Both resources worked with the project for several months, have logins, all that jazz. Resource 1 is perfectly capable of doing the work remotely.
Guess which one Little Man With His Little Fiefdom went with, because he doesn't want offsite resources.
And guess who's Resource 2.
*grumps*
It would take me a couple of days to get through what Resource 1 can do in a couple of hours. But I'm on site! (And on LJ, waiting for access things to happen - the other thing about government fiefdoms: you have access for precisely the amount of time that's needed, not one iota more. Which means when one comes back to do more work, it's necessary to get all your accesses re-validated again.
UGH.
