To Idiocy and beyond!

Ok, I knew when I requested that the service pack be applied to the application server that it would take some time but I was thinking "I don't need it right now, this doesn't go live until the middle of May and surely they'll have it in place by then." WRONG! They don't have an evaluation planned until late May, even thought I pointed to the specific issue that is resolved in the service pack, one that affects my application. Tough Cookies.

This place defies rationality!

First they refuse to migrate their code, but after they've had projects in the works using J2EE, then they refuse to patch the server to fix bugs. These guys are so conservative I'm not sure that they believe in fire... The wheel is a new fangled invention to them. I can understand a little, but when your conservative stance is clearly hurting the business that you profess to support, it's time to change!
