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.

<samble tries to figure out how to stab software>

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