I cannot deal with my company anymore. poo poo, crap, feces, and more poo poo just keeps getting dumped on my team. Had a meeting with one of the new interim bosses. Got a scolding for not having one helpdesk guy in the room at all times. I brought up that just last Wednesday I was told that having my team ask for tickets and not immediately respond to drop-ins and remoting into computers was deemed to impersonal. That because of our insistence on tickets we were deemed not "customer service" oriented enough and that we needed to get up with the user walk to their desk and take a look at the problem right then and there. Interim boss managed to stammer out something about having to walk a fine line before asking why morale seemed so low. These people are clueless and I cant get out of here soon enough.

It's a production server but it's internal only. "It's a static website" <- not sure where this old fucker got that term but he uses it all the time. "It's not a static website it gets items from the database! It's not going to be fast!" Dude you're pulling like 60 products from a database and putting them on the screen. It should not take 25 seconds to load a page.

I can pick really cheap and lovely locks, but I've yet to get through a door. Of course I only use a paperclip and a flathead screwdriver. I also don't want to have to explain to HR why I felt breaking in was appropriate. Maybe I'll make a set of picks one day.

Boltcutters too, ya'll. IMO a good set is always a necessity. Dealt with a guy years ago who felt locking all the servers down into the rack with cable locks and in some cases chain link which was just absurd. This is on top of the fingerprint scanner/keycard to access the server room and a lock/combination on the server cage.

Did you willfully violate U.S.C.

myron cope posted:Did you willfully violate U.S.C. Title 39 Section 3002a????? Yeah that's the thing. If you're caught with lockpicking gear they are considered burglary tools and not just anyone can have them. Although probably nobody is going to look through your tool box and you could probably hide them fairly easily amongst other tools or in those little tool sets with the nylon cases.

Someone in management must have gotten on operation's poo poo, because they are now reporting everything. Eeeeeverything. I was playing along for a bit, now I'm just what the gently caress. They're reporting it at all hours too - I'm at the computer so I am responding to a few and getting shorter and shorter every time. "Sys admins, this server is at 80% memory utilization, please advise." "Confirming, box is using 80% of its memory." "IT, seeing CPU pressure on X box, please advise." "Tell it to use less CPU." My favorite of the night was the guy who just sent me a list of server names and percentages. No context just, domain controller 72%, SQL 43%, web server 84%. What am I even supposed to do with these numbers?

myron cope posted:Did you willfully violate U.S.C. Title 39 Section 3002a????? Nah. I'm in Scotland, so it's legal to buy/ship from a UK retailer, but possession is covered under Section 58(1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. Or would be if I had two or more convictions for theft, as that's to whom that section of the Act applies. As I've no convictions it doesn't apply, and anyway they're kept at work for the express purposes of opening locks at work on the order of the owner of the lock. If I carried them off the premises and the polis took issue, they'd do me and find a way to make it stick, but that's the polis for you.

poo poo pissing me off.... My own stupid personality flaws. Finally (no start date yet, waiting on HR-y stuff) and while I know it's the right move its going to mess with my routine. The thought of changing my routine makes me really nervous and extra anxious. I know its dumb but that's how it is. Half my brain is all  because better opportunity, the other half is  because change. I hate my brain sometimes.

These routine jobs are loving boring. gently caress, I'll have to learn a whole new infrastructure. I can kick back and chillax until I start at New place. whoo!

Dumb old guy: "I need to take down the credit card software to update it. It should only take about 15 minutes, I'll do it tonight from home." Me: "Just do it today so you can do some other stuff. Email everyone and let them know there will be downtime. If you let people know it's okay, it's not something we need running 24/7." So he loving emails all@ourcompany.com, which is an old distribution list. Only 6 people on the loving list still even work here. So then the helpdesk guy points that out to him, so he just forwards that email (with the header full of people who are no longer here) to everyone@ourcompany.com, which is the new list. He also sends the email at 9:59 telling people the software will be down from 10:00 to 10:30. Nice notice! Edit: And he just got bitched out by HR for putting all the old employees names out there. Hahaha. Bob Morales fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Mar 24, 2015 |

"We need a list of our support, maintenance, and subscription contract expirations so we can better plan renewals." "Here is a list in a shared Excel workbook I've been maintaining that has everything you want." *months later* "Oh poo poo this critical license expired, renew it quick! How did this happen? We need a way to track renewals!" "Here is the Excel workbook I've been maintaining." *months more* "Guys I've been warning you about this soon to expire license for weeks, are we going to renew this!?" "We need a better way to track renewals, let's custom build a monster app that does a million other things too."  I cannot get it through they're heads. Buying or building some crazy solution is not going to suddenly fix your problem if you're the problem.

Someone in accounting pegged our internet circuit by using a web-based browser to monitor their home security cams: a multiplex view of 2 HD and 2 SD streams. I only found out there was a problem when I saw how slow web pages were loading. So... looks like I need add network monitoring to my to-do list.

I personally set our cisco asa to send to a netflow monitor. We currently use managed engines netflow and I like it. Its free for 2 interfaces. we also use managed engine opsmanager for all the other monitoring.
