14:14.19 <@roycroft> i spent a lot of time telling him how much of a dumbass my boss is
14:14.27 <@roycroft> he was laughing at the end of this
14:15.00 <@mecca> I missed this story, what happened?
14:15.18 <@mecca> I love your boss stories, you should really write a book
14:16.12 <@pbug> roycrofts autobiography, from BSD/OS to BOSS(tm)
14:16.22 <@mecca> haha
14:16.51 <@roycroft> in a nutshell, mecca, customer moves web hosting to us
14:17.05 <@roycroft> i copy what i thought was the complete website off the old hosting site's ftp server
14:17.17 <@roycroft> the photo gallery images were missing (wget -r didn't catch them)
14:17.26 <@roycroft> so i tell my boss we need to get them
14:17.35 <@roycroft> boss tells customer to cancel hosting with old site yesterday
14:17.46 <@roycroft> the customer paid for hosting through the end of may
14:17.56 <@roycroft> customer tells old hosting site to cancel everything yesterday
14:18.21 <@roycroft> boss sends me email last night telling me to log into the old hosting site's ftp server again and look for the pictures
14:18.26 <@roycroft> i get the email this morning, right after the old hosting site deleted everything, per instructions they were given yesterday
14:18.32 <@mecca> hahaha
14:18.55 <@mecca> That's awesome
14:18.57 <@roycroft> boss was pissed at the old hosting site for deleting things
14:19.27 <@roycroft> my boss did nothing wrong, of course - it's not his fault
14:19.45 <@roycroft> it's that evil hosting site that did what they were instructed to do
14:20.45 <@roycroft> any of you who hate your jobs can appreciate that there are worse situations :)
14:20.53 <@mecca> Exactly!
14:21.03 <@mecca> You make me feel so much better about the trivial crap I have to deal with :)
14:21.36 < Snooze> what was the customer going to gain from switching to your service? seems those gains have been lost already
14:21.45 <@roycroft> well, most of this is trivial too
14:21.53 <@roycroft> it's just unnecessary drama caused by dumbassery
