Default Argh Technology is against me

The curse of Penny strikes again.

When I was a teenager I had a problem, every computer I touched would break somehow... My friend (a pretty major computer geek) decided that if I was ever at his house I had to be ina different room to the computer and banned me from using his talker and everything.. so naturally I go to polytech and study computing lol

I get this job that is kinda computers and everythign is mostly sweet I have only had to have my computer replaced etc several times.. quite minor really...

this week NOTHING is going to plan. I finally get to stop doing crap work and do some interesting stuff that is *actually* my job and it is all breaking or not working properly and I can't for the life of me work it out grrrrrrrrr so annoying!

The database is stuffed, the switches wont export and my computer keeps crashing more times that I care to think about. This script I wrote is not working anymore for no appraent reason and gosh sounds like I need a holiday! hahahaha.

Not sure if this will work, but you could give it a go.

I reckon that staff members who have huuuge amounts of annual leave (we have people here who are owed 40+ days) should be able to gift it to other employees.
