I hate feeling this stupid.

elfsSo, we're pipelining different versions of our product at work, and i've been pulled off my lovely new development project to do QA in the mistaken belief that bodies thrown at a problem will somehow get the problem fixed faster. Instead, in the past six hours I have managed to accupy for significant periods of time the testing resources of at least four other people and I still don't have a QA testbed that I can test on.
There are also assumptions in the testing procedure I've been given that I don't understand. "Run these programs" with parameters that I'm sure most of the testing guys have stored in their heads, but I don't. "Insert a blank XYZ drive," but I don't know where blank XYZ drives are stored. "Configure for this kind of network." Oh, great, I haven't configured for a non-TCP-based network in twenty freaking years.
Am I getting old that this is more of a chore and less an adventure?
