I stumbled across this checking out a series of reports in Mutiny. If it's green, it's no problem!

A ticket came in:quote:I'll be hosting xyz.com going forward. Please set the nameservers to ns01.abc.com and ns02.abc.com and change the A record for xyz.com to 12.34.56.78 Excuse me sir I don't believe you understand how DNS works. If I set it to your nameservers I can't set the A record and to make it even better, their nameservers don't even have *any* records for xyz.com. Yay companies that do webhosting with no idea how the basics work.

Why don't you just change the nameservers and let them deal with the poo poo? It's not longer your problem.

Looks like I'm next (possibly) on the list to get my Top Secret (with Polygraph) clearance. Which should be a fun year of background checks, polygraphs and financial statements. The joys of government contracting. I've heard from my coworkers who have that it's a bit of a nightmare.

My info was part of that breach as well, resulting from a background check I had done to coach little league of all things. The only comfort I have is knowing that probably 3/4 of Americans identities has been stolen or compromised already. Why do we use a social security # as a password and an ID #? Our whole system of authentication and authorization in this country needs overhauled.

I also have a clearance from my government and I'm pretty confident my stuff will never leak because those intelligence guys are like a black hole, everything goes in, nothing ever comes back out.

A 3% reduction in force came in... ... and resolved two open tickets for a user who was difficult to pin down, because she was part of the 3% Also futzing with Varonis on its trial showed that on 1/2/16, around 2 million file events occurred. Since we only had around 300-500 on the other vacation days, now I get to find out what in the actual gently caress happened. All hail Varonis in that it can find this stuff, it just takes time to run a query that generates 2 million results.

KillHour posted:
Why aren't class schedules automatically being loaded into executives' schedules? Because they're sent out as Outlook calendar invites, and a person has to accept an invite for it to appear on their calendar and sync to their phone. If they decline the invite or ignore it, it's not going to show up. I'm holding you personally responsible for fixing that!

The Macaroni posted:That goes both ways, though. Pass the buck and step out from the middle. "Dear Exec, This person wants to be a delegate for your calendar. At your request I can provide authorization for to schedule appointments for you. Let me know if this is something you want implemented."The real problem with taking credit for fixing Bing (or whatever else you didn't actually do) is you're #1 on their list if it breaks again. And if whoever DID fix it can't, you're on the hook with that user and there's nothing you can do about it.

Not pissing me off: tried Fiddler for the first time today, drat thats a nice tool for troubleshooting all kinds off web stuff. Its basically a sane svctraceviewer. We've had a long-running quarrel about where a contract mismatch in a service actually occurs, and I was able to capture a request and point at the wrong SOAP-Action in 5 minutes. Also to trap a request, edit the header and then see it complete ok to verify beyond any doubt. What are some other must-have troubleshooting-tools you lot use?

Hahaha, this place. The company that handles our SAN sent a quote for a service renewal. I took the PO to the director to sign off on. Do we really need this? We've paid this before, why are we paying it again? Yes. Yes we do. Let me explain annual service agreements, friend.

Well people usually want to make sure they aren't wasting money for a service they aren't using. If you aren't sure investigate into the undocumented. Nothing wrong with calling up a company and going "Hello this is Larches, I just started at %company% taking over for %previous person%. I received a bill and don't see your company documented. Can you go over what you do for us?" They should be happy to tell you (since you basically said tell me why I shouldn't cancel the contract, but nicely). If they were heavily involved previously they are usually very happy to go over everything to keep business. You are a new face, maybe you have your own person you want to bring in. Obviously switching SANs in a huge ordeal, keep with the current provider for that. My boss asks if we really need a company if the name isn't intimately familiar. It's just good practice to trim unneeded services, or to look into replacing them in the coming year.

A spooky ticket came in: Six months ago we took away a company phone from a staff (Susie) because it wasn't used enough to justify paying for. I deactivated the line with Verizon and we don't own the number anymore. I wiped the phone and gave it to another staff to replace theirs (so it got a different SIM). This morning at 2 AM, my supervisor gets a text from the number saying "Hey Dave", which is his name. He thought it was from Susie because he still recognized the number. So a few hours later he texted back "is there something I can help you with?". In response, the number said "How are you?" Today he asked Susie about it and she was clueless. So they both came to me. I have absolutely no idea how that could have happened. Everything I can think of is too much of a coincidence to make sense. Even if I assume someone is playing some prank, I don't know how it would be possible.  Dave just texted back asking who it was and went home for the day, so I guess I'll check in tomorrow to see if he figured it out. edit: I'm really hoping it texts back "This is Susie"

A new laptop came in. Nice, a T450 ultrabook! Finally they're not going the cheapest option. Cool, RHEL 7.2 is out, I'll give that a test drive. I'll make a bootable USB. Hm, USB imagewriter is not working. I'll use the console. "dd RHEL_7.2.iso > SDB" Why did my PC shut off. OH COOL SDB IS MY SYSTEM DRIVE FOR SOME UNFATHOMABLE REASON. Lucky I had a recent backup on a Seagate external! "g: is not formatted. Would you like to format it?" SHOULDA BOUGHT A BUFFALO. (MFT all 0's. Backup MFT trashed. Disktools saved my backup, after 4 days of restoration, with 6 files lost: including my email archive)

DigitalMocking posted:Kind of pissing me off today: HR declined to do a salary review this fiscal year. gently caress HR, make it your boss's problem. "Hey boss, I want a raise, this is how much I did for the company recently (money/hours saved by your actions if you can come up with a ballpark estimate at all), this is how much I want. What do you think?" HR knows gently caress-all; they should not have anything to do with your salary. Your boss on the other hand has the ability to fight for you if he thinks you deserve it. If he decides not to, that will tell you something.
