You know you're in for a good day when your E-mail protection provider gets loving blacklisted, for some reason they're also having problems messing up our PTR. Plus multiple departments also decided to hire a bunch of staff who all coincidentally will start next Tuesday, the Monday is also a bank holiday... hooray for advanced notice.

SwitchbladeKult posted:At my office they would insist on keeping Rachel in the ring group and instead launch a several month long project to engineer a "solution" which would see us buying multiple licenses for software that one of the users reported "works great, used it for this at my last job" only to find out after we purchased it that is wasn't even related to the problem but management would insist on buying 10 years worth of license renewals then never deploy the software all the while Rachel is still sending all calls directly to her voicemail. this guy understands.

Before I have recounted how at my office I'll go into the bathroom and find something very unpleasant (poop right on the loving seat ). The last several weeks I've noticed snot rockets accumulating on all the surfaces of the bathroom. Today I walked past an employee who smelled as if they hadn't showered in a week! I feel like I'm not just the only person that actually knows how to read but I'm also the only person that understands basic hygiene! Is my experience unique or is this common in the corporate world?

I wouldn't say it's common but it seems like every office has at least one person who doesn't quite "get it" when it comes to hygiene.

The mail went into his junk folder (because it was sent from a nomx mail box I guess) and he didn't see it. Twelve hours after mailing him, and without waiting for an acknowledgement, they took their test machine down again and claimed they were hack-proof. I also love their comments about how patches make computers less secure, made to BBC: "We will selectively allow users to pick and choose when that becomes available but today we're not forcing any types of updates," he said, adding that updates can introduce vulnerabilities. "Updates actually cause a cascading effect and now you're patching patches and that is not a good place to be in," he told Click. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38934822

poo poo that pisses me off: We have 2 people with my name in the department. Our names are spelled differently. Company does an internal survey each year for each department. 1 name gets called out in good responses repeatedly but is it me or the other guy?  Some toolbag called our department "poorly trained and incompetent". I'd like to see them handle like 40+ applications, each with particular issues and configurations, hardware, branch offices all over the state. It's probably some jerk in like 1 easy department I could probably do with 2 weeks training when I'm still finding out about applications this place uses almost 4 months later.  poo poo that isn't pissing me off: I get to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 next week

I came in this morning to find a wireless keyboard on my desk with keys missing, and the wired keyboard I use for setting up systems is gone. I guessed that the CEO's son had smashed the keyboard in one of his rages after I'd left for the day and sure enough I found my wired keyboard hooked up to his PC. The son has an explosive temper, like his father (and Bill, their servant.) Two weeks ago I found that he had punched his desk so hard he had bled all over it, and he was walking around with a bloody pile of paper towel swaddling his hand, acting as if nothing was wrong. He can't handle any sort of pressure. It sends him into a rage where (like his father) he's prone to throwing or smashing his equipment.

Once had a user in a huff ask "Do you know what I do around here?!" I was very tempted to reply with "Something I could not only learn to do with two weeks of training but be better than you at despite your 25 year head start." gently caress users especially ones that think they are god's gift to the corporate world.

3D print a load of key caps from some thin brittle plastic, and replace the existing key caps with them. After epoxying a spike to the base of the keyboard under the cap.

VMs having going out all week, usually at 4am. I'm so loving sick of this place and its garbage setup. I'm tempted to make the site manager panic and call an all hands about it just so maybe someone finally feels like fixing it for good instead "ooooh just reset it and it'll work".

Our client unique IDs the first five letters of the client's name then a 2 digit number that increments for each time it occurs. This has resulted in such awesome codes as BONER01, GREAT69, and HORNI04 (that's the fourth HORNI to be added into our client database).
