Love hurts

Been helping someone through a break-up.

Really fucking hurts.

Seeing them like that just reminded me so much of how I was hurt by love. I pray I'll NEVER be in that situation again; I really don't think I could handle feeling that much pain again.

No more gChat for Mr Pan...

... and he's fucking brewing about it.

We switched over to a new proxy server at work... gChat is now blocked... permanantly...

I raised a ticket to get it released:

"This has been enabled in the past and is quite useful to quickly message a colleague (who also has gmail) to ask them a question if they're on the phone. (not everyone acknowledges their Outlook new mail popups).

I do not have a direct url or error message, simply gchat stating: "Your Internet connection is experiencing problems or your network administrator has blocked Google Mail chat.""

The response I got?

"Sorry - access to chat is blocked. The chat category has always been blocked however the new service is more up to date than the old hence the reason the feature has now been caught. You can submit a business justification for consideration but this needs to be based on a bussiness requirement rather than personal preference."

What a load of fucking bullshit...

Honestly; the service was avaiable before... Just because you're shitty crap proxy servers aren't smart enough to pick it up, doesn't mean you have the right to close it off now.

I'm really not fucking happy, this was my main contact to the outside world in this shitty place.
