Hell, I got called about a minor issue when i was at my brother's wedding reception(I didn't recognize the number). Add all those numbers to a single contact with named "Check Voicemail Later" and a blank ringtone. Missed calls show up as a simple reminder to simply check your voicemail later, whenever its convenient. Set yourself up with Google Voice and it'll transcribe any messages for you, and you can even assign a custom "I'm not at the office and will return your call tomorrow" answering message for those jerkbags.

A formal on-call rotation gets developed pretty drat quick when no one is available. And then it becomes, well if you need me to be on call after hours, you will need to issue me a phone or pay for the voice plan on my personal one. If you want me to do email, you'll have to get me a smart phone or pay for mine. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Dec 11, 2014 |

The hiring manager called me but I was at the dentist so he sent me an email with the subject "touch base" so I start freaking out and trying to get a hold of him trying to figure out why I hadn't gotten the job and when I finally got a hold of him he offered me the job and sounded like he was relieved and surprised that I accepted it.

poo poo: Like me, my immediate predecessor almost, but did not completely understand what he was doing and it's his fault that our redundant firewalls haven't been redundant in years. More poo poo: This could have been discovered in the three or four hours it took me to trace through things, if only we'd budgeted the time to investigate when we first realized it was broken instead of waiting for a disaster. Even more poo poo: gently caress you, keepalived, I need you to control more than 20 IPs... McGlockenshire fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Dec 11, 2014 |

My current job doesn't piss me off as much as my last one so I've not needed this thread lately, however I'm looking for a recommendation on backup software to replace Symantec Backup Exec for backing up about 4 servers to tape. The rest of our servers are VM and getting backed up with Veeam. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the 'Am I retarded' Quiz: You are a teacher at a practical school for children with a mental disorder and find yourself in the situation where you have to find a place for a pupil to do schoolwork, what do you do? A) I place the pupil in a suitable place to do his/her work. B) I open the sysadmin office and leave the pupil unattended to do his/her work, next to a shitload of expensive, sensitive, production server equipment and don't bother to lock the office for the rest of the day. According to the security camera's, one of the teachers succeeded this test flawless by choosing option B  E: typo Rz666 fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Dec 11, 2014 |

Why does the teacher have a key to the sysadmin office? Why are there servers in the sysadmin office? Why are you using retarded as a pejorative when you should know better?

I don't have a clue how she got that key. Teachers normally don't have access to the sysadmin office. Also the server's are not in the office but next to it separated by a door so it basically gives you access to the server room.

Most smaller schools have the servers in the sysadmin office. Smaller budgets and that. They'll either be in the room or literally connected to it and left unlocked because you don't expect a teacher who usually doesn't have a key to leave someone with issues in a room with expensive stuff.

Email from IT Director: "Hey everyone, remember to report your training, because its really empty this year. This area is audited on so everyone put their time in!" Gee, maybe its empty because no one has received any training. Also saying that the auditors won't be happy about it isn't my problem, so I hope they do.

Our CIO seems to fundamentally misapprehend the meaning of the phrase "professional development." We have had two PD days this calendar year and they have been the managers of each area of responsibility talking about what their team does. Admittedly this is, if not an improvement, at least no worse than last year's zero PD days.

I've asked for training since day one at this job, and the three bosses I've gone through have all said it would happen. When they fired my coworker a month ago I told my boss I wanted something in writing. He said he'd talked to the EVP (his boss) and get that for me. Hasn't happened. Due to this and a multitude of other reasons, my New Year's resolution is to  .

It's annoying how employers and recruiters update their jobs posts so that day after day the posting appears to be brand new. When I search by date at all the job boards I have to wade through the same raft of jobs that I've seen for days and try to pick out the ones that are freshly posted.
