Yeah ours are named like 8R.09 Hyrule - 8th floor, right wing, 9th numbered in some sort of order from the entry (so you can hunt easier when it's in a part of the office you're not normally in) and then whatever theme they came up with.

luminalflux posted:This happened at my previous job, but it also made the national tabloid we ran when the VP of Sales went to Oslo the city and not Oslo the meeting room in our new Stockholm office. No, he didn't sanity check it since it's a Norwegian company and meetings at the Oslo HQ are pretty frequent. :O That's a ridiculous thing to have happen but actually makes sense, not least of which because as VP of Sales, being called to the head office is, I'm guessing, not that unusual an occurrence.

I'm going to have to try naming some of our meeting rooms after notorious shitholes to see if people try and avoid them. "Sorry I can't make that meeting in Elephant and Castle, uh, something came up."

All our meeting rooms are Star Wars names. Let me tell you about the time I tried to get five guys in Princess Leia

Somehow the joke isn't quite as funny when you have to look around the office and make sure the person in question isn't within earshot before you fire away.

I was tasked with updating the script that runs our digital signage system so it's not terrible. Part of this task, obviously, is to document what I had done. I was planning on just updating the old documentation, but then they sent me the old documentation which they decided to do in PowerPoint for some reason.

A Ticket Came In.... from my mom. She's got a lovely HP all in one that somehow forgets that it's on the network every time the router at her house resets and I can't figure out how to get it to stop that crap. And no the solution is not to throw out the printer, sorry. Any ideas?

Update the firmware. Assign a static IP. Set up an offsite backup server for your favorite japanese anime dubs at her house, hardline the printer, and share it. Throw it down the staircase a couple times and then return it to its customary place in on her desk so that though she is required to purchase a new one, you have not technically thrown it out.

I was asked today to create a meeting room in Outlook and call it "the quiet room" and set it for max people as 1. It's a room with 1 chair and a phone. No window, locked door.

Expectant mothers only and max people of 1? It's unusual for a company to take such a definite political stance on the abortion debate .

Wilford Cutlery posted:It's a pumping room. Pregnant and post-partem mothers can use breast pumps to fill baby's milk bottles in these private rooms. Lactation doesn't typically begin before the birth of the child. And since it's for expectant mothers, no one's allowed in post-partem. The likely explanation is that someone at that office doesn't understand what "expectant" means, or maybe they're really concerned about morning sickness.

One of our domino servers has decided to take a huge poo poo on this one guys inbox.  Apparently there's 108,211 copies of the same 13 MB email. Thank gently caress DAOS was enabled and reduced that down to a simple 60 GB, however he's at a remote site with a 2MB line and it's now trying to download all those new emails. Unduplicated.... This'll be a fun mess to unstick. It's so much that the lovely old domino admin client I have chokes trying to do anything on the file. I think that's 1404TB.

We had The Printer Room. It was a rite of passage. My boss/CEO/Doomsday Prepper had an out builidng on the property that he filled with random crap he bought at liquidation sales, estate auctions, craiglist 'steals' etc. This out building was an old dormitory that had no power and was just used as storage, and he did a good job of filling it with crap. During my employment there MPC Computers went out of business and he went to their liquidation and came back with a truckload of crap. He had purchased a lot of office furniture and equipment that MPC had used in their own offices. I divided everything up, chairs here, cubicle parts there, old computers in this room, aaand old printers in that room, The Printer Room. A few months later I was asked to go rustle up another HP 4050 ink cartridge, I go to the printer room and rummage around in the dark like an idiot, looking for the box. I open a bigger box and squint, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. I pulled an old antique porcelain-faced doll out of the box. It was filled with them. So I took them all out of the box and set them around the room, all facing the printer room entrance. Every fresh faced new guy got a taste of the twilight zone when I'd send them out on a bs printer errand.

Gives a whole new meaning to "rite of passage."
