I love it when all the managers here log into the same webex through their blackberries on speaker. When they start talking you can hear the latency through all the other phones in the room.

we outsourced our IT to a contractor this last year. it's been bad. one of our PMs was talking to the network admin of one of our local clients and his response was "oh CJ Associates? yeah... they're one of the two worst in town" when my coworker told one of our old IT guys, he just laughed. so, this may explain why i'm never told there is a new VPN method (even though it's essential to what I do when I'm on the road), and why the new VPN download they provide is a broken link, and why when it doesn't work, and the guy is remoting into the computer, where the directions are open on the desktop, with the server info displayed, he is somehow typing the wrong info into the boxes and we're having to go "hey dude you forgot the i on the domain."

is there a function that is possible to outsource where the aims of the company and the contractor are more opposed to each other than what you end up with when you outsource IT to an msp?

today and tomorrow i'm helping host our employee hackathon. been telling people this for weeks, setting expectations, making sure all the people i work with know i'm not gonna be available. automatic replies are set up, meeting invites all declined, phone unanswered. two of them come seek me out hidden away in our company conference center to chat. one of those spent upwards of an hour not only pestering me for help, but going and dragging a couple of our devs out of their team breakout rooms to get info from them, too. and then in the post-lunch lull just now, around 1:30, i answer one email from an internal customer and copy the PM who should have answered it. And without me to handhold today, PM decides that means i'm available. 20 minutes later....

Big feature met its deadline after a hard weekend and we had a 6 person video conference about it today where only 1 dev had lovely internet and that was only for a moment. I felt bad when, in an effort to get a better signal as I asked him to do, he went into his living room - webcam running blair witch style - and told his kids to get out of the living room cuz he needs it. felt like a big yelly man inside of the screen lol
