Deja Vu

Side note: I can never remember where the accent goes in that word. Also I can never remember the correct button combination to get said accent to show up magically instead of having to be a cheater and copy-pasting from somewhere else.

So the whole lack of a database connection happened again.  The only connection I can make is when I create a new database it decides to give the old heave-ho to one of my other database connections. I actually had to go in and create a brand new user for the database that this site runs off of.  It is entirely to weird for my brain to handle tonight and I was majorly hyperventilating.

You see I hate having to contact people to fix my problems.  They're my problems and I should be able to fix them.  I feel annoyed when something I can't come up with a solution to a problem that I (even if it's just in my own mind) created.  I think that was my main problem with the help desk I interned at. Do people seriously not have the presence of mind to try and solve their problems themselves?

How hard is it to check and see if your computer is actually plugged in?  When did it become ok to just say something is wrong here and I sure as hell don't want to take the two seconds it might take to deal with it when I can call someone else and end up on hold for 5 minutes. Fine you don't 'get' computers.  But do you get common sense? Seriously, you can get up in the morning, turn of your alarm clock, probably figure out how to turn on your tv, change the channel, maybe even get in a car and drive, but you can't be bothered to understand you computer?  The one thing you use the most of at work? You could probably tell me more ways to create a macro then I would know what to do with, but you can't even think to restart the computer when things are being weird/you get a blue screen/your mouse isn't working.  Please, it might not be the problem but at least it saves us from having to tell you to try it to rule out the easy solutions.
