All complaints about horrid user interfaces, forced logouts, and
allvrything-interoffice-webigrated bloat aside, this program is eroding my
very livelihood. I'm an hourly intern, and when the evil emergent Skynet
intelligence that runs the database network (or maybe it's those
cost-effective offshore DBA's) decides which crucial part of my account to
hose this week, there's no way to get any work done. No work to do means
no reason to be here, means no hours, means no money. Friendly helpdesk
folks, thanks for restoring my ID file to a server in India. There's
nothing more grand than waiting two hours for "Replication" (I don't know
what it is, but it scares me) so that I can log in again without screwing
the whole system up and waiting another two hours.

Update: Apparently two hours is not long enough for the bits to get here
from India, so there goes an entire day.
