warning, rant ahead

I’m sorry, I usually don’t like to complain -on my blog- but I can’t hold it in any longer.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE A MAC IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT, THEN DON’T.

Our company has recently upgraded our mail servers from Exchange 2003 (?) to Exchange 2007. While my company hands out IBM ThinkPads to every new hire on day one, some people have opted to use Macs instead (myself being one). But when the mail servers started getting upgraded to Exchange 2007, tons of people were having trouble getting Entourage to work and couldn’t get their inbox functioning.

WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS.

Not only did I get about 15 emails every day for the past week with the same dumb question “has anyone experienced problems with Entourage since the Exchange 2007 upgrade?” but NO ONE seemed to know how to fix it.

And I’m referring to people more senior and older than me who are asking these questions.

Well I finally had my mailbox upgraded to Exchange 2007 tonight, and you know what? NOTHING CHANGED. You know why? Because I wasn’t using the webmail link to receive email in Entourage. I was connecting *directly* to my mail server. And if you can’t figure out how to do this, you’re shit out of luck.

It is amazing how any of these people are getting paid more than I am.
