A bit of porn surfing would be a start. Although these pop ups that porn sites have for online poker are really annoying. I can't play online poker FFS, I'm at work !!!!

Just whipped it out and they've lost their minds. Never seen such commotion. One of them on the phone talking to somebody called "sicherheitsdienst" or summat

fixed price for you? Or for the Client?

If its you then advise you will be charging extra or walking off site.

If its the client may I introduce you to the internet?

There is nothing you can do on your own? Documentation etc?

OK I want to sack all the DBAs and get root privs on every box. Shall I start a rumour about the DBAs gangbanging ClientCo's CEO's missus?

The dev environment is completely banjaxed. I've escalated to the DBA team last Friday. Then chased daily. Not really getting much progress or urgency.
So I escalated to ClientCos manager. Again not getting much progess or urgency.
So I escalated to the CEO of the consultancy I am contracted to. Zero urgency, and zero support.

So I am working on a fixed price project that is stuck fast, with no place to go and no chance of delivering on time or even coming close.

So the urgent problem is now what to do with the rest of my week?

I am sooooooo fecking bored it's not even funny. How do you wile away the hours on dead or soon to be dead projects?

You still in Germany?

I am on T&M. I would have thought the CEO of the consultancy would have had a bit more to say about it. Breach of contract springs to mind. But hey ho.

Trust me, I am anal about documentation. It's up to date. I am 98% of the way through a data migration, and just need the environment sorted so I can finish the 2% off. The only way this can be done is for

a) The DBAs to look into it with a bit more enthusiasm.
b) ClientCo's manager to vigorously encourage the DBA's to look into it.
c) The constancy's CEO to vigorously encourage ClientCo's manager to vigorously encourage the DBA's to look into it.
d) All of the above to fook off and leave me the admin passwords.

Of course we have taken option e) which is do fook all. So I now have 25 hours to fill.
