You know, usually admin for user accounts on the various systems I support is a minor irritant, an ancillary & occasional part of the job that I fit into the margins of everything else going on. Today was different.
Only one person has qualified as my actual enemy at work. One other is approaching that status of just full on disgust with no redeeming qualities recognized of any kind. Several others make me wonder why they're still around, and a handful beyond that I'd just really rather not deal with. But only one person has induced me to accumulate emails in my folder labeled 'cya' as a routine thing. Only one has tempted me to print & route emails I was privy to by checking a couple generic boxes for the organization, where I found customers just livid with her failure to remotely cope with the basics of her job -- all the while ranging around and interfering with other people's stuff with this know-it-all attitude that was destructive of anything that involved her. For only one person have I watched her walk around with full on revulsion at the repulsive bag of guts.
Her eventual departure was announced a few weeks ago, and I celebrated to myself then. But today was -- finally -- her last day. After her protracted, noisy, and emotional departure this afternoon, the network guy asked me if I had time before leaving to close out some logins. Oh hell yeah, I do.
I hope it doesn't compromise the integrity of the process to gloat while I did it. But either way that answer goes, I thoroughly enjoyed clearing those checkboxes and clicking those confirm buttons. Oh yes, I did. W00t!
