Enough people (I'm as guilty as anyone) have been skipping our daily status meeting that my boss is making it Actually Mandatory now. Boooooooo, 15 minutes hearing about what everyone is doing all day even though I'm on all the emails.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Ha-ha, I love this reference to a comment in a previous thread about a printout of an email that had been faxed and then scanned back in. Thank you. That part I had assumed, the ICO bit was confusing. Edward_Tohr posted:And let's not forget the crazy saga of the "ICO?". And confusing on purpose, it seems! E: And I actually had a guy screenshot an error message, print it out, and then fax it to me. Which I then had to scan in for the record in our ticketing system. 3 Action Economist fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jun 26, 2015 |

Boooooooo, 15 minutes hearing about what everyone is doing all day even though I'm on all the emails. This is actually a really good thing. Having everyone in the same place (or even on the phone) at the same time is for a few minutes each morning is great for making sure everyone is on the same page about projects and priorities. People spinning their wheels on stuff can get pointed in the right direction (they might be stuck on something you can answer, but didn't send out an e-mail), overlapping or redundant projects can get consolidated or cancelled (you're spending how much time on that? it won't even be an issue in the next version of X), etc.

Go for it dude. You're a baller now. How are people going to know how much you're killing life if you don't name drop CCIE's in every conversation and talk about how mad drunk you got at the anime cosplay festival. And why I bet with enough booze and money you could help all the poors and the womens out there. Just typing that out makes me miss his meltdowns. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple of things too.

Who even admits to going to a cosplay anime convention, much less brags about it in an online IT forum? (on a comedy website... the inception hole can go deeper.)

Update: I showed up to my first day of work dressed as Gohan. Someone asked why I was dressed as Goku at work, one thing led to another and well, refer to my SH/SC Job Thread post.

Hands down the best part about that whole meltdown was when he decried his boss for not letting him wear his costumes to work (that he would show up late to.)

Although I rarely get to meet with my boss and the CEO in the span of ten minutes I got two quotes approved by them, one to expand our maxed out phone system and another to get a backup internet circuit for our main office. No fuss, no muss. Not big quotes by any means but I expected it to be a drawn out festival of nit-picking. I hope this will ease them into approving the big quotes that are coming down the pike.

 The laptop is the email console and holds the ID files, it has no battery. The USB stick at the top right is actual storage. Every marker and highlighter is dead. Methanar fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Jun 27, 2015 |

I know what you guys are saying, but a little part of my brain is interpreting it as you are saying that you literally owned the laptop in the picture, not a different one of the same model.

Note to self: Do not rely on someone to provide you with the correct files, even if they have a loving DOCTORATE and have been in IT for 20 years. Also, I learned that linux throws fits and won't tell really you why. So you spend 2 hours thinking something else is jacked up only to realize the person who should know the most downloaded 32 bit files instead of the 64 for the install.

Learn how to Linux properly, and it will always tell you what is wrong. /var/log/ will almost always have what you need.
