I don't believe it.

Our manager is asking why half his network drives are missing. On 
investigation, I discover the reason: somebody has replaced his existing 
logon script with a brand new one. Written in VB.

You may recall me explaining how the other sites have hundred-line VB 
scripts that do absurd amounts of processing at logon. Well, it seems 
from this latest development that they intend to push this suboptimal 
"solution" onto everybody.

I am so damned *angry* that they would **** around with my systems 
without even bothering to warn me. And the thing is, their fancy, whizzy 
logon script doesn't *work* properly! And that leaves me with two choices:

1. Wade through a few miles of VB in an attempt to figure out why their 
overcomplicated script is broken.

2. Revert it back to the 3-line logon script that I wrote which works 
properly.

Option #1 is clearly unsatisfactory, and option #2 is likely to get me 
yelled at. I love my job...
