Frickin' computers!

I'm having a moment. It's a job-related, computer-generated moment. It's been building up, really, because I've had to attend to the minutiae of techy stuff all week including, at times, griping from the techier factions when I don't have the exact info they want (but then, they relied on me as a messenger so what do they expect)?

The frustrating moments of this job definitely are the ones when people are talking about computer things I don't understand. They just don't get it because they're immersed in server-side issues all day long, but from my office it's all very abstract. Generally, they don't want me poking around in the servers any way, so how am I supposed to have any better concept of it than the futuristic, air-conditioned room with all the black boxes?

Which reminds me, Alias is on tonight. Joanna has totally gotten me sucked into that show. It's such an absurd opera, rife with family dramas on a near-Oedipal level. Jennifer Garner is so pouty. She needs to work on her range of facial expressions. I like her dad on the show--I don't care if he's secretly evil. I think eventually the Argentine sister (and does anyone else wonder why she's so Latin-looking, if both her parents were pasty as can be? Like just living in Argentina made her Latin-by-osmosis?) will be killed off because she's prettier than J. Garner. Just a theory.
