Spazz posted:I used to do the same thing, and I honestly suffered a lot because of it. I became the go-to guy for getting poo poo done at my old job, which meant that I would always be overworked and get stuff dumped on me. I also ate poo poo on an FCC reportable outage when my supervisor let me go home early on a Friday morning, and then blamed an outage on me because the person who was supposed to take over the NOC was too busy loving off. I stopped believing in the "taking one for the team" mentality after having to defend my job to my director as the shitheel supervisor sat there and let it happen. That was me at my last few jobs as well. Someone told me "Don't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm" and that really hit home with me.

MJP posted:Speaking of which, I think I just got some kind of new either Indo-Englishism or businesswordist phrase from our CFO. I dunno, using "action" as a verb seems to have been around for a while. It's the natural evolution of everything being actionable or an action item.

larchesdanrew posted:I just spent the last few days trying to figure out why, all of a sudden, all of our weather cameras around the state have suddenly stopped transmitting weather data. We still can pull a video feed and control the cameras, but the monitoring equipment is no longer sending us information. I've been unsuccessful in reaching any of our reps or the company's tech support. Lol at that vendor disappearing. Like someone else mentioned, that place sounds like it'll gently caress you up if you stay there too long. Someone at the top or the culture at the top is toxic and it affects the hiring process and the personalities they bring on.

Trying to get our servers PCI compliant before I is fun. Especially when I have to wait 24 hours between external scans to see if the fixes I put through are sufficient for them. 2 more days though.... 2 more days.

Honestly, I feel a little bad for the bunny. He's in there in a small little cage, he knocked over his food bowl, and is just kinda trembling in the corner. I just tired to entice him with a couple blueberries from my lunch and he just sat there scared shitless. I hope his new home will be a little better than his old one. (I gave him a pile of fresh hay so he should be good on food for the rest of the day.) Anyway since that was kind of a downer, here's a photo of my spoiled rodents at home. Years ago I didn't know any better either and had my pigs living in cages that were way too small, today they live in the 2-story cavy condo.

Oh, the security updates we forced you to accept on your brand new $700 cell before you could access our email, they bricked it? Sucks to be you. Wow your company sounds like a lovely place to work if you break someone's phone and don't take responsibility.

I threw my hat in the ring for another vertical position, a VMware/Windows engineer for a small company in NYC. Two short blocks from Penn Station's normal NJ Transit arrival/departure tracks if you gear for the 8th Ave exit (yes), one block from Soup Spot (YES) and one block from a hobby shop geared towards ADTRWists like myself (DOUBLE YES) with a fairly good sized (minimum 20% if not better) bump in salary and a few more vacation/personal/sick days. C'mon, YotJ

larchesdanrew posted:Also, regarding my "goon in a well" nature. You're right, I'm a pushover with absolutely no guts. I need to stop being afraid of displeasing people at my own expense. I need to stand up for myself. If I get fired for it, then gently caress this place. It's been almost two years since I started here. I'm not the new guy anymore and it's time to start making some waves and shaping this place to suit my needs.  Listen to some metal or something for a while to get you in the right mindset. Bonus if you set up the PA system to broadcast it in your wake as you Assert Yourself all over the office. Godspeed goonsir. Sirotan posted:A bunny came in... That's a tribble with ears.

I prefer the server room lizard. An old ticket was reviewed: "We found no issues with her printer. We suspect that it did not like the 249-page print job that she was trying to push through."

Also, I highly advise against anybody thinking about a server room rabbit unless you really enjoy resolving user connectivity issues and power outages.

Picked up a new client earlier this year, they've been riding out a few bad months thanks to oil pricing but its steady now so I went in today to discuss server replacement etc. They mention some of the workstations have been acting strangely lately. Look at one, disk errors in Event Viewer, SMART errors from drive. Go to another, same thing. Both identical HPs. The other 5 having issues? The same loving HPs. Thats right, 7 identical drives failing in the same week period. Welp for them.

Lots of calls came in. Users coming in for the day couldn't get to network drives and the internet and their computers were asking them what kind of network they're on. Ipconfig showed weird addresses. Release/renew and reset usually resolved this, sometimes it had to be done twice. While I was running around resolving this and searching looking for a possible rogue dhcp my boss, who was away, called to check in and I tell him about this. He goes OOOOOH poo poo! There's a small switch by my laptop, unplug it! Never a dull moment...
