see, i have a HUGE problem with customers that think they have NO responsability
when it comes to a contract.  of course, i've been in the business for a very
long time now, and i've seen all sorts of moronicity (hmm, i like that) and
it just grates on me anymore.  oh, your mailserver is back up?  well it's not
my fucking job to check it for you moron, maybe you should have called me when
you fixed it, not 6 hours later complaning that we aren't sending any mail to
you.

i really hate my job right now, you'll have to forgive me.
