Pissing me off today: loving box.com. Enterprise file collaboration for businesses - sounds great! So why is my critical ticket from loving last Wednesday still open, with absolutely zero movement so far? Goddamnit.

My coworker tweeted some hate towards their support. Within a few hours my ticket was escalated. The email thread that I came into was started by their marketing director telling their support director to do something. Pretty hilarious.

I have descended into a world of madness, accompanied by the worst manual ever written. What is a screen? What is a window? Because obviously, you don't mean their colloquial usage. You can't re-define words and not tell me! WHAT'S GOING ON? Seriously, if you are going to take the time to write a manual, can you at least try having someone else follow it before you publish it?

ming-the-mazdaless posted:I have not been paid. I've had someone do this to me once. They didn't do it deliberately, they just didn't get the contract done by the first two week deadline and hadn't set up my bank details by the second two week deadline. I send an email to the pay office, CC'd to my supervisor and the head of research, saying "I cannot afford to continue coming into work, work suspended until pay received". The people responsible scrambled quick and gave me an out of sequence payment. People aren't bastards, they just don't care about you. Make it their problem rather then yours, it'll get fixed.

Varkk posted:Often we get told that the monitor is not working, when in fact the whole PC is powered off. Many years ago when I was working as a traveling PC technician, I got a call for a "monitor not turning on" at some lawyers' office. Took an hour to travel there on a busy New Jersey road, only to finally learn that the guy did not know computer monitors had power switches. My company charged him $110 for that poo poo.

ming-the-mazdaless posted:I have not been paid. Working and not being paid is a serious thing in the US depending on the state. Do you work for an actual company? Are your hours logged? Congrats, you are probably going to get some extra cash out of the deal. Go to http://www.workplacefairness.org/stateagencies and contact the agency for your state. They can lead you to the right direction. In a lot of cases you might not even need a lawyer although I would probably contact one depending on how serious the situation is. You are most likely going to get paid and then some. Almost all states require your employer to pay you a penalty for paying you late.

When you're the ISP with a de-facto monopoly when it comes to adsl (because you own the infrastructure) you can't just go "too bad, so sad" when all your loving techs decide to go on strike for a couple of days over a wage issue. And to top it off, after the techs apparently got persuaded to go back to work, we got a mail saying their NOC is on strike now. Better hope your poo poo breaks between 8 and 16 or you'll have to wait to call it in. Sometimes (a lot of the times) I hate being a re-seller.

Doom on a Supercomputer Waaaay back in 2002, I did level two support for one of the major oil companies. At company headquarters, they built something called the HIVE. It stands for High Intensity Visualization Environment. It was a theater with a 180 degree projection screen. The computer in the HIVE was an Onyx Reality Engine 2, which looked like a giant purple refrigerator. This setup was worth several million dollars at the time. Gigabytes of geologic data were fed into the Onyx and then displayed on the screen. Geologists would wear 3D shutter glasses to see the pockets where oil might be hiding. My buddy was the sysadmin for the HIVE. At lunchtime we started playing with IRIX and found some really cool graphics demos. And then we found a folder called 'Doom' No loving way. So we opened it and played Doom on a supercomputer. Pretty cool way to spend a lunch hour. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 17:00 on May 28, 2014 |

Got any other info on this? I'm putting together a report for a higher-up and it would help if I could get more details. Content: Currently pissing me off is conflicting orders on how to handle a UPS. Do we need one per server or put both servers on one? Do we want 30 amp compatible UPSs? What about daisy-chaining a UPS? You people pay me to figure this out on my own, dammit.

Put one UPS on one server, and put two daisy chained on another. One should be 20 amp and the other 30. Everybody wins!

I might be  ing soon. I'm actually kinda nervous to leave my current gig. It's not really bad, per se, but i think it's about time to leave, because i'm stagnating. Problem is, everyone in my family is against the idea. "STAY WHERE YOU ARE THE ECONOMY IS HORRID YOU'RE REGRET IT RAAAR!"I have a final interview tomorrow, and hopefully some good news afterwards. Also, on another note, if y'all want to come and bitch about your jobs, come join us on #bofh on synirc.net via IRC. https://www.synirc.net/chat for more info. Don't be a jerk, or I'll let Sirotan beat you up.

nitrogen posted:I might be I don't understand their argument; if you get an offer from another company, there's not really much risk in leaving your current position. But it's true that a lot of people let the fear of change paralyze them and prevent them from something better. Being nervous about leaving is natural, since it's a change and change is stressful. Even if you're moving away from complete garbage to your dream job, you'd be nervous. Sickening posted:Whats the story behind this one? Maybe one of their ops used to own a titan.

anthonypants posted:I'm pretty sure it was from way before titans in eve online were a thing. Some people just stay butthurt about the past, also e-rivalries. For example when we had the company covered team lunch when I and another guy came on to our current project, the team lead actually brought up the furry holocaust on SA and how much he hated SA over it. Otherwise he's very competent and treats us well. The last vestige of the Portal of Evil, poetv, still manages to hate on SA and maintain rivalries that we forgot many years ago. Some people seem to get really serious about rivalries on the internet just because they can. Also a good portion of the admins on Synirc are apparently anti-SA, but there are more than a couple that are goons as well. I know some of them hang out in #COBOL.

poo poo that is going to piss me off... I've got to turn port security on about 70 switches. About 15 of them have devices bolted to the floor so I'm confident that those devices won't get plugged into wrong sockets... But for the rest I think I am going to have to seriously practice my bitch slap and drop kicks when people try stupid poo poo like moving computers themselves. I've also been told to turn off Remote Desktop (amongst many other useful things) my site is massive, at least work provide me with free shoes, I've got a lot of walking to do!
