You know that you can find the gateway from the subnet and IP info, right? Like, ninety-nine times out of a hundred. Although, with your luck, it'd be that hundredth time...

So an email went out through a case today. By me. And by by me, I mean it had my signature in it but was sent by someone else in my team while the case was assigned to me. I have no idea why he did it, I wasn't here yesterday but he definitely saw me in here today, it was near the end of the day too, and the live date isn't for another two or three weeks so I don't know what was so time critical about it. The real kicker though is that the email was asking for information from the client, information that is right at the top of the case description.

It's one thing if you have a weird ticket system that signs emails for you based on the assignment (ours does, which is insane), but it's absolutely asinine if they manually stuck your name on their own message.

I don't think I care enough about this job to get that angry over it. The email he sent was also really small and innocuous too, and everyone but the client can see who really sent it so I don't really care too much. The guy is also a more senior member of the team (and by that I mean been here a year longer or so) and used to mentoring people. But yeah it was a very weird thing to do.

I found another job and now I have a manager that thinks that it's better to just release builds without features that aren't ready, than to half rear end them and deal with fallout, or delay the release and pile more crap on, or enforce crunch time. Good jobs and good managers exist  Of course, my imposter syndrome is through the roof so there's that going for me too.

Knormal posted:One of my coworkers tends to take a ticket, then proceed to just sit on it for weeks on end. Sometimes the user will eventually call me about an issue I have no idea is happening, then I'll look and see a ticket was opened two weeks ago but I never even read the description because I saw it was already assigned. But then sometimes he'll work a ticket but not pick it up, so I'll take it and contact the user only to find it was already taken care of. That poo poo drives me crazy. I'm often haranguing people about the importance of good ticket discipline. But for right now my biggest problem is guys taking tickets they don't realize have already been grabbed. We use ServiceNow so unless you're constantly refreshing it can be easy to step on another tech.

YOTJ Update. In a holding pattern. I followed up with the company and the guy I would be replacing was given one more chance to prove himself. Based on his previous actions I am fairly confident that he will mess up fairly quickly and be outed. Ticket Update: Its almost 8pm and the Account lead still hasn't setup the gateway... way to go me

I really wish I could just will a good job for you into existence. 'Cause I'd do it. I'd probably will everybody you work with to painfully spontaneously combust first, though. I'll PM you if I think I'm making any headway. In the meantime, avoid wearing synthetic fibers.

What are you guys getting at? That the new potential job is stringing him along or is giving their current fuckup a chance? Or that he is staying late be abuse some other idiot can't get up info to him? Blacksworda, If you knew better that you needed more info then you should insist you need it. You can probably start coordinating people without them even realizing it and possibly make your life easier.

The Account lead went off on me a bit about needing this ping test done today, and when i got back to him that there was no gateway for the range, he seems to be dragging his feet now. Even if he got the info to me right now, I wouldn't do the work until I got in the office in the morning. It just struck me as funny that he was rushing to get this done, and is now dragging his feet on getting his portion done. As for the other job, I am hopeful for it as it is a good amount of money and a decent shift, but I do have other irons in the fire. I have gotten a few positions from similar situations in the past, but I am not relying on it.

AlternateAccount posted:Yeah, what an entitled dick. Between insurance, gas, the actual purchase and maintenance, it costs something like 40-50c/mile to keep a car on the road. He's getting a goddamn bargain. This is "maintenance" on a car he constantly speeds with and from what I hear, has had a collision 2 days after buying it on the drive to work because motorways are where you go 100mph on because your car can do it right? He's also unreliable as hell and has quite literally left me without a way home without telling me that he's leaving multiple times (in the last two weeks he's done it three times). Not sorry, gently caress that guy. I'm not paying extra for his lovely driving, dudes gonna kill someone. Erwin posted:You seem to think his time is worthless. Perhaps he doesn't want to keep adding 20 minutes to his commute so he upped the cost to make it worthwhile. See above, I would understand if he was actually driving safely and getting a new car just because and wanted to up the cost due to time, but I believe i've posted a picture of the first crash we had with a truck in the poo poo that's pissing me off thread. He's gotten a new car because he was told to repair it or go to court. In fact, it looks like i either didn't or its buried, here you are. The very first one, its the only one i've bothered to take a picture of. By the end of it the other side was like that, the bumper was hosed and the car pulled way to the left.  E: Quoted the same person twice. Whoops VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Speed limit for motorways here is 70 I believe. I'm a UK goon dogstile fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Feb 27, 2014 |

Actually, they're the place where if you look out for the rozzers and other road users (like everyone should), you'll end up 90mph all day without any problems. If that's how he treats cars though, he shouldn't even be let on the road.

HADECS1 is already dead, thanks to this cock-up (TW: Daily Mail) Also, most HADECS installs don't take pictures if the signs aren't displaying a speed limit, though the M4/M5 around Bristol seems to be an exception.

I talked to lenovo and they sent him a tech with a replacement motherboard. Here is the email I just got from him: Hourly Customer posted:The thinkcentre that “Lenovo” repaired under warranty is showing the message again “No signal input. Please check cable connection and / or whether you are in monitor mode.” It was left on a login screen so that it could be accessed with remote desktop. The “Lenovo” tech did not even know how to open the computer and had a very strong body odour. Today is going to be a fun day.
