Impatient

Nightmare...that's all I can say about this whole car experience.  I'm sitting on the couch right now...it's 8:07 in the morning..and I can't do anything for another hour.  We can't survive tomorrow with only one car so we're going to pick up our unfinished car and just drive it without the matching pin stripes.  It'll look ghetto for sure, but we both have too much running around tomorrow and that starts at 7:00 in the morning, probably won't finish until around 9:00pm.  Today is going to be crazy too, but I'm not worried about it. 

I have been playing with a windows tool called "CMAK", I think it stands for Connection Manager Administration Kit, but don't quote me.  It's actually quite badass, as much as I hate to admit it.  Since I do the it for two companies it's a royal pain in the ass to write instructions for two of everything...the most recent was setting up a VPN for our VC company and not that it's anything difficult but it requires people to think on a new level and there's always resistance to that.  Enter CMAK.  I can put together an executable that will do 90% of the work for them!  Install the dialer, preconfigured with the right options, and put the icon on the desktop.  When they connect it will automagically map their network shares then unmap them when the disconnect!  I love it!!!  (I'm sure I'll be blacklisted from something when all my Linux buddies get wind of this).  Bill put it best when he said yesterday, referring to Microsoft, "Even a blind squirrel will occasionally find a nut".  Simply brilliant!
