Having done physics at university level, a hell of a lot, mostly around the
details. *g*

It's not that they hated me that was irritating. That I expect. It's one
reason my phone is permanently not working (read, cable removed) ever since
someone gave the dealers my direct line.

What bugged me was that they were telling me, in detail, how to fix the
problem with the server. The problem that I'd spent close on a week
researching and analysing to get to the bottom of. At the time there were 4
advanced SQL books on my desk, all open. There were also about 6 print outs
of web pages with notes all over them.

And they're telling me how to fix the problem they learned about 5 min
earlier. *sigh* And that they weren't listening to a word I said.
