How to block productivity:

I am currently a working student at a huge corporation and tasked to write some smallish java applications. Nothing unusual.

To actually be able to write and compile java programs I need a JDK.
Except that the last corporate update for java removed my jdk and left me with only a jre. It so happened that my admin rights ran out.

To be able to install a new jdk, I need elevated rights, which I need to request. The fucking problem is nobody of my department, who I could talk to, is here or online to accept the request.

Guess who is now sitting in front of his dysfunctional dev environment :/

When it finally clicked on how to write tests first and I could actually make code progress with it.

Being told it might take up to 4 days for my internet connection to be fixed. After having 2 calls with the support to gather information:/

Hey guys,

Go buy my app so that I can fatten my tax return
