We got that stuff for our conference room that lets you flip a switch and the glass becomes opaque or transparent because blinds weren't cool enough I guess. Except they didn't want to pay for the actual glass so we got some lovely film, and they also didn't want to pay for a professional to install it so... yeah.

Our call center software is all Cisco, so it'll be interesting what the consultants come up with.

We're used to it. All our video conferencing equipment is Cisco, along with all our phones, switches, routers, firewalls, etc. We're balls deep.

Our NOC has a set of 103 inch flat screens. 3 of them are metrics and monitoring stats. The 4th has a cable TV connection. "We... uh... yeah! We need to be able to access global news in case something happens. Or something like that" Plus they're in a restricted access area with frosted glass, so it may or may not have the Science Channel or ESPN or one of those WWII documentary channels on when I visit the NOC.

It's very important to monitor every UFC PPV the morning after. To be fair, we actually use it for it's intended purpose...for about 20 minutes a day.

My floor has TVs mounted every 30 feet around the perimeter of the building. The one over my desk is always on either Sci or BBC America depending on my mood, since I have the cable remote.

Today I learned that the best way to get new domain controllers replicating is just to be patient. Was trying to kick off manual replication of a new DC at a new site yesterday evening, slept on it, woke up to find everything was happy.

We have that installed in our underutilized meeting room adjacent to the giant Ops center they paid to upgrade and then immediately abandoned when they pushed monitoring offshore. The glass apparently can fail if left "clear" for too long, so the worrywart manager always freaks out if people have it transparent for any reason. For a while people just flipped it on to see how long it would take him to notice.

How do you handle talking to the micromanaging uninformed and often (spouting completely incorrect statements) kind of boss aside from avoiding them at all times whenever possible? Literally makes poo poo up like saying we haven't documented anything, haven't validated for best practices etc when I'm literally opening and showing him the docs as he asks. He'll also make bad statements and change his view when ~10 people tell him he's full of poo poo, came from a small biz env and is in a big biz env. It gets so bad other people have to stick up for me just to get him to stfu, and his boss is waiting for (my boss) to fail. I've been apologized to by boss's boss multiple times. WTF to do? My only other thought is  which I'm working on.

I'm having card access readers put on all our buildings. These will be locked using magnets, per usual. Now that everything is installed, director doesn't want magnets. Why? Because the magnets will warp the doors eventually and we will have to replace the doors. Solution? Replace all the doors with push bar doors and replace the magnets with push bar switches. We have to pay for the equipment they've already installed. So rather than eventually probably have to replace a door after a decade, we've doubled the cost of the project and replaced the doors anyways. How the actual gently caress has my life gotten to this point?

At least this is better than at the TV station where the engineer would have made door magnets out of repurposed hard drives and replacement doors by welding thirty seven old PC towers together.
