Voip will randomly decide to crap out for me during a webex call, which is really fun when I'm the host and can't properly rejoin until I end the meeting and start a new one. I hope the muzak distracts people from thinking of me as a tech illiterate moron

we were in the middle of working through a lab and someone broke the silence by screaming real loud and now it's quiet again and no one seems to want to acknowledge that just happened

thanks for the new webex game. occasionally scream and see if anyone notices.

one time at my last job i took a friday off for a wedding, with family i hadn't seen in two years

the night before we had a deployment of one of our apps, so i deployed, devs said everything was fine, and i went to bed

got up in the morning and started getting dressed when i get a call from a conference line at work saying that apache is down and won't start, and that we might need to redeploy???

i calmly explain "i sent you an email with the three other people who can deal with this, i took today off" but of course because i'm a bit of a pushover (and my boss would've yelled at me) i get roped in anyway

keep in mind i was planning to leave early, since it's an hour and a half drive to the wedding

i'm on the loving phone muted for three hours before someone goes "oh... OHHHH" and everyone on the conference call freaks out like "DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT"

turns out there was a duplicate line for something in the apache config, which didn't get noticed because the previous night's deployment didn't include a restart (???) and apparently nobody bothered to check that the app was on the new version before doing smoke testing so everything was a-ok until the nightly restart where poo poo hit the fan

i missed the reception because nobody thought to check the apache config :suicide:

for real, everyone should know their nearest beauty spot without decent reception and use it all the time.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
when i was vacationing last year i setup everything in advance to be left alone during that time. backup, documentation, everything.

my boss' boss is notorious for calling me directly because I guess he's comfortable with me and/or i'm just a one-stop shop for everything to him. so I set up call forwarding so that if a call came in from any of his numbers it just forwarded back to his own line.

he was really confused and angry when I got back. he tried dialing me something like 27 times in the span of 2 weeks

there's initiative and then there's "i'm a doormat."

back when i was in our operations team they gave me a phone and i'd leave it locked in a drawer when i went off on vacation, but when i moved over to my current role of doing useless poo poo they took it away. Except people still needed to call all the time because it took 3 years for my replacement to get up to speed, so a handful of people started leaking my personal contact information around.

this came to a head when a project manager not on any projects I'm involved in got a hold of my personal email and started sending poo poo to that. she got a hell of a chewing out from the people who were desperate that i not block them all entirely

a couple years on from that, tho, and i haven't had an out of hours call in ages. sucks to be anyone in ops, tho.
