The system was not really designed for this, so it had to be retrofit. It is clunky, counter-intuitive and slow, but if filling out pointless trouble tickets makes our managers happier then we do what we must.

Yesterday I finished working on a project that had come to me via the ticketing system, and I left it overnight to make sure that it was working right. When I tried to call up Service Manager to update and close the ticket this morning, I got this:



Wait a minute; the problem reporting and logging tool is down! How do I report this? It's a shame that we don't have a tool for that... d'oh!
