I worked at a place that had this crazy custom fire alarm system I had to set up, it was on a mobile network just in case power/lines were out and would send a text and call up a list of people with a pre-recorded message stating there's a fire. I was the one that recorded the message. It's disconcerting to wake up at 3am to a phone call from the office, where you can hear your own voice telling you there's a fire.

I forgot that this morning the new commander from our parent unit was going to be paying us a visit to do a meet-and-greet. The VP of my company also came to say hi. The PM took one look at me, looked at the piece of paper in my hand, and just face-desked after saying "poo poo". He accepted my resignation with reluctance, but warned me to not be surprised if the VP came around and slapped me in the back of the head. She didn't, so I will be officially saying goodbye to everyone Friday after next, and two weeks from now stumbling into my new position on the other side of the base. Should be fun.

SaltLick posted:Oh nvm it was just some remodeling dust and that got 8 firetrucks to come lol lol When I worked for a WISP in Colorado, one of our head ends was actually inside a hospital since they had some of the best power and fiber connectivity in the region. Got some weird high temp alerts one day so I drove over to the site to check it out. Building maintenance had sawed a loving gigantic hole in the roof directly over our gear for ~reasons~ but didn't bother to tell us or anything. There was dust and crap all over everything (what hadn't already been sucked inside of device fans), but the biggest issue was said gaping hole. If it had rained, we'd have lost 6 figures worth of gear and knocked thousands of users offline. Got a tarp over the hole. closeenough.gif

Cleaning up the mess previous engineer at this VAR left behind - configuring ISE for a client, previous engineer wrote up an as built for the client and said "all you need to do is enable the interfaces for ISE it's already been tested". Probably the furthest thing from true. Half configured, no testing, even told the client some things just "won't work for some reason" like EAP-TLS  Cant wait until I'm not playing cleanup with these junk installations. The networking side was such a chop shop, I don't know how they do so well in revenue.

I was the one that recorded the message. Many years ago, a (now former, for other E/N reasons) friend of mine decided it would be a great idea to rent a small internet cafe/phonehouse and try to make money off of it. He asked me to wire up the consumer-level alarm system(complete with outside loud siren/strobe and everything) and configure it completely, including programming an outbound call to his and my numbers with a prerecorded message in case the alarm went off. Set it up, wired it with cat5 and some documentation. Things went south after about a month, and he cut his losses and ran(it wasn't really profitable in any way) The alarm system was still in place though, and apparently disabled. Quite a few months later while I was working an internship I came back to my phone with a bunch of missed calls and voicemails, all containing a recording of my own voice informing me the alarm had been set off. They probably cut the wires for the sensors, siren and everything, but the calls still came through for some time after that, and it was weird hearing my own voice informing me about an alarm at a location I hadn't been in months. Said friend still had the occasional badly-researched business plan("We'll start a security company!" "We'll start our own VoIP operator service!") after that every once in a while, looking solely at profits rather than operational costs. No idea if he's still at it these days.

A had a coworker that could go and set a "TICK IP" address on a computer, which was his way of saying TCP/IP. He would also get a DHCP lease and then take that IP and manually set it on that computer. Frustrated the poo poo of out me until i got him to understand that DHCP doesn't know if he takes an address out of the pool if he does that and that causes conflicts.

An older lady I used to work with at a school system in an elementary library called TCP/IP "Cutsey Patootsie". The first time I dealt with her, the conversation was:  "Hey, I think we don't have our cutesy patootsies configured. Can you come down here and set it?" "Your.....what?" "Cutsey patootsies!"After several goings around trying to figure out wtf she was asking, I went down to the school and finally ended up seting the DHCP checkbox on her TCPIP properties. 90 minutes for a 2 minute fix!
