A user just asked for a list of all directories in his m drive so he could give it to someone so they could ask him for things that he might have based on the folder names. I'm going home.

It's basically the mailbox where our purchase orders come into. Yes they come in electronically, then printed, then typed in manually to a different system. Then the printed copies get filed in boxes cause gently caress electronic filing.

Nah, I once worked at a place where the computers crashed. Lets keep printed copies of everything in the basement but not have any shelving to put them on or a plan to destroy really old things so we run out of room and stuff is stacked wherever and now I can't find anything.

Yesterday a "ticket" came in... We have a few merchants who process payments using Authorize.net. Apparently, over the weekend, some service of theirs that communicates between them and First Data was down, and this caused less than a dozen total merchants to not get funded when they batched out during the downtime. My company was not informed of this. Yesterday, one of our merchants called in, complaining that their batch closed on their end on Saturday, but they were not funded for it. I checked my system, and I could see their batch for Friday, and for Sunday, but not for Saturday. They asked if they should call Auth.net, and I told them sure, they'd probably know more about what happened than I would be able to tell them. We ended the conversation, and I went about my day. Half an hour later, the merchant calls back and says that Auth.net resent the batch info to First Data, and that we needed to have them close the batch. I said "That's not a problem. Just be aware that when we have them force close the batch, you'll get paid for it, but you won't get a report. Is that ok?" "Sure, that's fine! As long as we get our money." Cool, no problem. I end the call, call First Data, force close the batch, and sit back and think to myself "Job Well Done". This morning, I sit down at my desk and check my inbox, and am greeted with this: quote:Attention: Customer Service This email was sent to our generic "support" inbox, which CCs all incoming emails to myself, my technician coworker, the 3 partners in the company/my immediate bosses, and the loving CEO of my company. 1 of the partners was already in disaster recovery mode, and the other two instantly interrogated me on what happened. At first, I was so pissed I couldn't see straight, but now I'm debating whether or not I should print out the loving email and hang it on the wall. The best part? All of this was over a $27 batch total.

Today I was copied into an E-mail sent to our tech supplier asking why we were charged £5 to deliver a couple of cables. - First off we generally get free delivery except for dinky stuff like this which costs peanuts, and the supplier eats the cost if things go wrong. - Secondly it's five loving quid, holy poo poo who even cares. Either way I usually end up bantering with our account manager about stupid bullshit like this, he's pretty good at getting deals and I've saved us poo poo loads of money but it goes completely unnoticed in the face of crappy crap petty things.

A ticket went out (because a salesperson couldn't find the rear end warbler): How all of the gently caress do you break product search so that %rear end% only finds STRAPON, 40½" YELLOW PASSIVATED but not, for instance, rear end WARBLER, RUSSIAN or MASSIVE HAIRY FAKE TITS, 230V? I want to meet the programmer who managed to gently caress up wildcards like that and shake his hand.

Larches, you have posted on the internet about your old job. Before you do anything for the rest of your life, you will need to speak to a lawyer. Want to eat cereal for breakfast instead of toast? GM will want to sue you for that son, and have mercy if CE finds out that cereal was cinnamon toast crunch. Better consult your lawyer! (It's a podcast about a job he no longer relies on for money. Come on guys what could a lawyer possibly offer to this situation)

Partial rear end-pull here, but I think the concern is that it could be construed as something like a breach of trust, revealing internal business practices to the public even if through satire.

Even without direct legal implications, there's a difference between posting anonymously on an internet forum and a podcast where presumably you will be named poo poo-talking a former employer. When people google your name in future, do you want them to find a podcast of you poo poo-talking a former employer? No you don't.

Use a pen name, and have someone else narrate. Also have it made clear that while it is based on real events there is much fiction. Make this clear by early on having something really odd. Maybe an robot sidekick.

I really like that "how can I recover in a timely manner?" looks like an incredibly calm and reasonable question when you know the guy who asked it is pacing back and forth, chain smoking, gibbering and trying to work out how to tell his boss that he deleted literally everything.

Arsten posted:Never use a slash with rm in a script. cd {foo} and then rm -rf {bar} Not sure about current behavior but I memorably recall a situation where someone had a script with cd $app_dir rm var/log/* Later on they moved app_dir but didn't update the script. The cd failed, the script continued running, many log files were lost. I explained the value of cd $app_dir && rm var/log/* to my colleague. These days, when I script at all, I try to be a creature of paranoia. Do these variables have non-zero length? Do they refer to directories that exist? Can I cd to those directories? If all of these things are true, maybe I will rm something.
