A ticket came in the morning.... Which turned into 15 separate tickets. For the same issue. Apparently the latest service pack for Trend Officescan wasn't compatible with windows 8.1. The data execution prevention service was sitting in a STOP PENDING state, and the Win8 logon screen would just spin at Welcome indefinitely. Luckily the released a patch right after for 8.1. WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A TESTING TEAM. WHYYYYY. TGIF.

Blacksword, when you finally ditch that god awful place you are at, I am taking you out for a beer. We'll go to the underground downtown and try something off every single one of the 70+ taps.

Pressing button makes picture appear. Or do they not plug the buttons in, forget the screen needs to be on etc? They're the people who say "I thought technology was supposed to make my life easier!" whilst staring at it and expecting it to jump to life, aren't they? They had ancestors who just stared at a club on the ground and wondered why it wasn't pounding the poo poo out of a mammoth.

But if you do write a letter, Comic Sans MS, 16 pt. font please. Crayon using your off hand. Then scan it into a word document as a BMP and then email the document to your boss and cc all.companyname.

Thought you guys might find this interesting. This drive weighs a shitload (key for scale), stores 120mb of data and has a stepper motor for the read heads rather than a swing arm (heads move straight in and out perpendicular to disc motion). It is a pretty neat piece of old technology.

It is a pretty neat piece of old technology. I love seeing old tech like this. If I can remember, I should see about going through the attic space at my moms when I visit for Xmas. We had an old 5.25" 40MB HDD that I'm hoping is still around.

Alctel posted:Is that even legal? What's termination pay? Yeah, Alberta is very pro employer so complaints tend to be closed regularly and if you do have complaints survive their process, the employment standards board is pretty much toothless about enforcing any penalty. Termination pay is basically after you work a certain length of time with an employer and then you give notice or they lay you off you are guaranteed a certain amount of extra pay. So if i give two weeks notice, and they tell me not to come in anymore, I still get that two weeks no matter what. Same thing if they lay me off, I get two weeks of pay on top of my normal hours that I have earned.

blackswordca posted:I have been here for over three years.. I think I do. If it's not legally required, you should tell them on the last day before you start the new job. 2 weeks if not legally required is a courtesy, not a law. gently caress them. This actually solves the whole termination thing, too. They can't threaten time you've already worked.

How many restrooms are at your employer, blacksword? How feasible is it to leave upper deckers in each and every one? Rooting for you here - good Christ, this whole situation needs an endpoint.
