Please don't give me Admin responsibility for a system and then allow local users in remote locations to install servers and databases w/o my knowledge or permission and then expect me to rescue them when they totally fuck up the installation. Please do not install multiple versions of the same software on the same box along with the DB you're trying to use AND other non-related apps and then wonder why the security repo and partitioning shit the bed. Lastly, no I cannot and will not do this ASAP!!!!11 on a Friday. Before Memorial Day Weekend. @ 3:30 when I know the lot of you are leaving any minute. Sorry pal, I'll see you Tuesday. Deal with it.
