he knows just enough to be dangerous

i hate it when the boss gets bored - he tries to geek out.

what started out as a "i'm going to put a new hard drive in the home machine and back up everything there" has since spun off into a hellish, kafka-esque investigation of the data archiving schemes the previous IT consultant did, which is fine, but what's driving me utterly bugshit is the fact that my perfectly servicable batch files, intended to back up data, are NOT being run by windows' goddamn task scheduler, which is making the boss skittish and me look like a fucking asshole.
