lousy work day

There's a lot of nice and a lot of good things about where I work. There level of documentation and formal process when it comes to projects isn't one of them. I've spent parts of the last two days trying to get information about our network and about how to deal with the network group. I've been treated to rudeness from middle-management, lots of "just do it" and "I don't know" and getting to deal with a project manager who, it seems, knows less than I do about the project. And he's been at meeting I have not. Tomorrow I hope spending the morning in the data center loading Linux on system will go well. If it does, I'll be able to at least say (and show) that I've done what I could in absence of getting my questions answered.

Of course, this has brought back the questions of am I still able to cope with doing this type of job, do I even really want to find out, and what the heck else would I do? In the meantime, I get to go back in and do what I can, and wait until next week when my manager is back in and we can hold a post mortem on this week's efforts.
