Two quick stories related to elevators and toilets. In my building people love to stand right up against the elevator door. The second the door opens they push their way inside refusing to let those already in the lift get out! One day I got snippy with a lady that did it to me constantly saying "Pardon me. I'll just ride back down with you and try to get off again on the second pass" and proceeded to ride back down giving her my best angry IT guy stare the entire way. I am constantly having to  when I enter a bathroom stall in my building because people routinely get poop on the seat. ROUTINELY. One day I even found a fork laying on the stall floor with poop on it! I need a new job.

The Marketing department pisses me off. I think everybody can agree that marketing can go gently caress itself with a cactus.

SwitchbladeKult posted:Two quick stories related to elevators and toilets. Hmm, the "close door" buttons work just fine at my job, at least on the two elevators I use. <shrug> Toilets... good god.  A few years back, before Medical Records moved to a different building, there were *constant* calls to Facilities regarding assorted   issues, ranging from, well, *everything possible* on the seat (piss, poo poo, blood) to the same on the floor, blood or poo poo on the walls of the stall or room, et cetera. *Always* in the women's staff restroom, where clients can't get access.  What I noticed a lot in the staff men's restroom was either toilet paper or paper towels in the loving urinal, paper towels in the toilet, or someone using 5-7 paper seat covers and clogging the toilet. (May have been mixed in with a ton of toilet paper, or paper towels as well.) Oh, and good news for Facilities! (This is a lie.) The norovirus outbreak at the nearby homeless shelter, where a lot of our clients come from, is back!

If I'm going to exert myself that much, I want to keep cool. But in all seriousness, our bathrooms are upwards of 30 degrees celcius, and its horrible. There's a reason, and they are supposed to be that warm, but it loving blows.

I work at university and just received email from system administrator for our department, that mails sent to faculty email from google's (and yahoo's, but gently caress yahoo) domain have a chance to silently die because the domains are flagged as frequent originator of spam and I should manually change spam filter settings for my email address to stop it from auto deleting spam. So far so good. But apparently the system administrator at university's level refuses to unflag google's domain, because it is "irrelevant in our country". Given that roughly half of my students write me from gmail address, I just might have to kill him.

Our provider only gives us a /29 of IPv4 space and doesn't do IPv6, and has no timeline for when they might support it  Apparently I am supposed to feel good about this because new customers get CGNAT and no IPv6 (hint: they don't, they just go somewhere else).

Obviously I don't want to start sweating just by walking in the door, but outside temps are in the -20 - -10 °C range right now, so it is cold as gently caress.

Until you have to endure someone painfully demonstrating that email they send to a colleague from a their work address arrives slower than email from their personal address and what is is the issue and why have we got a problem with our system and I don't understand why we have this problem and I will talk to the CEO after this discussion and inform him that we have a major problem with our email being very slow and IT, Weatherman especially, aren't doing anything to resolve it.

poo poo pissing me of: Ricoh! We used a a piece of software to split scanned delivery notes and invoices, rename them and put them in a folder structure so they can be called up in our ERP program. I say used because mid december, the software broke because we virtualized the server and changed the Windowse license key to the virtual one. Of course, the software is no longer supported so I have to find a replacement. As this is part of our Invoice Approval Workflow, it's pretty critical and people are bugging me left and right about when it's going to be fixed. Since the previous program worked pretty well, I go to the same supplier to ask what they recommend (i.c. Ricoh). They get me an offer, not exactly cheap but this is urgent so I accept, stressing that we need this asap. Between Christmas and newyear I don't hear from them. To be expected, so I don't really fret about it. The first week of January passes and I still hear nothing. I start sending mails and calling people to ask when the install is going to be. Finally, halfway January, an engineer is scheduled. He's on site for about half an hour when he tells me he has the wrong license and there's nothing he can do until the right one is ordered. I give him the same specs I used to get the quote, and according to him, those are pretty clear. After a couple of days, they tell me the new license is going to add about 20% to the quoted price. I agree, as long as they just come and get it up-and-running as management is on my rear end! After this, silence ... Getting really loving tired of this, I manage to find another piece of software that does exactly what we want at about 1/4th of the price. So, we contact Ricoh to let them know that we're cancelling the order. Suddenly, it's not a problem to return calls or schedule installs. They'll also talk to their legal department if we cancel. If they'd just done what they were supposed to do in a timely fashion ... But now it's a shitshow with legal treats, my boss (the owner) in involved and I'm getting stressed out.

sudo rm -rf posted:my buddy just messaged this me about his job: My favorite--absolute favorite--is when I get contacted about a customer who needs to restore. This customer elected to use a private encryption key rather than our default ones. Then lost the key. And cannot remember the passphrase they used to generate the key. Support has invariably spent hours trying to help them. They're always enraged and incredulous when I say that no, I cannot do that. Not won't, but can not. That's the entire point of encrypting your backups. There's a huge red warning when you elect to make your own key that says there is absolutely no recourse whatsoever if you lose the key file and cannot remember your passphrase. That data is gone forever.

Getting vendor quotes then changes directions and requiring different hardware after bringing the quote up not once but twice. It always end up as I thought it'd be more can we also do X Y and Z then but then we don't need A A was a work around. Okay so I need to drop some stuff add some stuff and it's not that much more pretty much the same price. How about you tell me what the ideal solution is and how much you want to spend and I get you something that is cheaper? I'm not the vendor I want this to be as cheap as possible while still doing everything you need and being easy for me to manage. I fear I'm going to piss the vendor off these aren't even large business problems like 4-5 digit problems. It's a mid sized company transitioning into a large size while still having a small sized mentality. We made 7 figures profit last quarter why do you care about a $700 difference in a $9000 project? Obviously I can't outright say that, my role is not managing money, though having a department budget instead of project budgets would fix this a ton. e: unknown project budgets until the price is at the sweet spot then it's well sounds right I was expecting X+$200 or can you get it down a bit? I was expecting $X-200. pixaal fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Jan 26, 2017 |
