Why are there sooo many well meaning stupid people that thing they have to change things?

I am working on the back log of stuff that happened while I had the flu then the funeral. The AD guy thought he would start moving things around for the migration. He is changing mailbox and calendar names and the types of objects they are...ARG he is making more work instead of less, and causing more things to break for no reason except his ideas of how they should be. My backlog is getting bigger instead of smaller, good thing there are dates on things.

Found out just a minute ago he has been running tools and scripts on AD object and not been paying attention to what they are actually doing. I've found it is a LOT easier to make your own scripts and tools so you know what they are doing and there is not clean up required for the tool that is supposed to help clean up that is as much or more hassle than just doing the work manually.

I knew this was going to happen. The consultants sent me some scripts and tools, I looked at them and quickly found I had to either majorly edit them, or just start over to keep from messing things up. Somehow knew this was going to happen when they had a migration meeting I could not attend and the consultants started changing how the migration was supposed to happen.

Again...ARGH!
