Man this office is on the brink of mutiny, an emergency came in I have to deal with; we're hiring something like 5 more people and there is literally no more space in the office, we've already used beyond every scrap of room. The plan is to boot two people out since they were going to pilot home working, and there's gonna be a shuffle which will piss people off further because noise levels are through the roof and some certain people mixed in is going to make it worse. I suggested we rent some temp office space or cannibalize the manager/conference offices because this is impossible but of course that was shot down, I did say it was a crap shoot anyway since my suppliers can't get any HP mini pc's (I really don't want to shift the standard) for weeks as there's none in the country but did save the day as there's a few of one model which I grabbed a bunch of (They won't have SSD's but whatever). I'm not even stressed, everyone else is losing their poo poo over this and I'm the donkey that's going to have to move everyone around... but it's such a ridiculous situation its funny, our office lease runs out in October and no-one's telling me anything that I can make office move preparations for.

Ticket time! Guy changed his password. Then got locked out because he failed at typing too many times. I unlocked his account. Locked again. Changed his password. Locked again. He starts getting irate with me on the phone. In a very calm voice I say, "Sir, it's going to be okay. We're gonna get through this together." Meanwhile I'm thinking, "MOTHERFUCKER IF YOU CAN'T TYPE YOUR PASSWORD THEN I CAN'T loving HELP YOU!" Then it came to me. I asked if there was anyone else around that I could test with. "You know, to make sure that it's not your computer." He calls some secretary/assistant/whatever in, gives her the phone, I tell her to type in his username and password. Boom! Logged in just fine. I whisper to her softly and deliberately, "he's your problem now, hon. Godspeed" ...and hangup. I didn't even wait for him to figure out that she logged in with his creds. I'll let them hash that out.

Had a client a while back who moved office without saying a word, just picked up their laptops and moved. Phoned up on the first day after the move asking how they should connect to the Internet. I think they were running off mobile hotspots for six weeks. They also left their old phone system in the previous office to be thrown out, so they weren't contactable by phone at all unless you knew their personal mobile numbers.

I searched "web key" to see if this was actually a thing and how it opens the browser without knowing which browser the user's using and quote:Each USB Webkey contains a small program file that activates when the user inserts the key into the computer’s USB port. The data file contains routing information for the Uniform Resource Locator address of the website that the device promotes. The device works in the same way that clicking a hyperlink in a word processing document or email message will automatically launch your Web browser and open the linked Web page. The Webkey can also include a data file with a website tracking script to provide statistics on the number of people who visit the website with the key. I... see.

So anyone have an inside at Rackspace as to what went wrong during the maintenance last night? http://status.apps.rackspace.com/index/viewincidents?group=100 Because all these calls about email being down I am tempted to forward to their support line directly. Very tempted.

Not in the US and there's no way in hell they'd spring the dosh for Elitedesks, I was on the verge of saying screw it just get me some SFF towers instead (which would suck because mini's are the bees knees) but my supplier managed to find some i5 / 500gb hdd models which I snapped up.

We had a move that was basically dumped on me and the HR person like two months before it was supposed to happen. They planned the move without the construction being complete, but it was totally going to be done the week before the move. Only it wasn't, we ended up telling attorneys to work from home for a couple of weeks, and the legal assistants ended up in a plastic-covered file room as they were still painting and carpeting. The only upside was I found a great moving company.

Didn't even have architects drawings, no discussions on how rooms would be laid out, nothing. It amazes me still.

My goondolences. At my last job IT somehow became responsible for conducting constant office shuffles. Every aspect of it including having to build and teardown loving cubicles and truck people's personal items to their new desk. Shortly before I quit I basically told my boss that if we get requested to do one more office move, that he should tell them to go gently caress themselves. Otherwise, It'll be a real shame if the phone server goes down while we're toting boxes of other people's poo poo between floors. Sure enough, boss came in with his tail between his legs with CEO and like 6 other managers / C-levels. I said "WELL OKAY. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. It's your money." code:The next day while everyone was yelling at my boss, I went to the call center manager and said, "dude, here's the deal. You take everyone off the phones for like an hour and we get this done, or we could have a repeat of yesterday. Your choice." Twenty minutes later, everyones boxed up possessions are in a giant pile on the floor in the new office, but the computers and phones and everything IT-related are in the right spots and most of them are even hooked up already. Perfect.

A large international company recently moved out of our building and the building managers decided to take advantage of the vacancy to get the building up to green code, presumably so they could charge the new tenants more. My boss just let me know that he's got a meeting in 30 minutes with the building management, and this time it's not about them wanting to cut all power to the building and therefore our central servers for six offices for two days while some wiring work is done. They are apparently wanting to move our entire office down a level so that they can redo the ceiling tiles. Of course they're trying to fit this into their schedule for work which has resulted in the only working bathrooms for our 200+ staff being on the ground floor and there being only one available elevator for the past month, so who knows how that poo poo's going to work and whether our milquetoast office manager will get them to pay to reinstall our wifi units, ceiling mics and speakers, and VR set up. I've - only half-jokingly - said that if it's the case I'll just work from home.

Thanks Ants posted:I get the sentiment, but I'm not sure I'd wilfully down a necessary system to make a point. I did exactly that in a drill when I was in the Navy. We we're doing some sort of firefighting drill and I was stationed in the radio room. Ventilation gets reduced for obvious reasons when there's a fire, but usually it doesn't get too hot too quickly in the radio room. This time, ventilation got cut a lot more than it was supposed to, or maybe it was some other issue, but it started getting a lot hotter than normal. We radioed up requests for ventilation, reporting the temperature and that it was getting hotter. After an hour of nobody getting back to us after repeated requests, I found the temperature tolerances for some of our major pieces of equipment. When the temperature reached that magic 123° F, it was outside the safe operating range. With the permission of the Communications officer, we began shutting down gear, and calling in "Actual Casualty, Actual Casualty, loss of HF Radio Suite. Actual Casualty, Actual Casualty, loss of SHF Radio Suite. Actual Casualty, Actual Casualty, Loss of EHF Radio Suite" and so on. The air got turned back on in a hurry.

Besides, this place was such a mickey mouse shitshow. If anything we actually got a better server out of it. That poor DL580 g4 had been on it's last legs for about a year and was constantly locking up and crashing. Edit:  Yes, that's a harddrive on it's side holding up the front of a dell 2800. That bitch was our NAS. Also, it didn't have quick swappable drives. You had to take the whole thing out of the rack and take the side off to get to the HDDs. Oh, and to get it out of the rack you had to stand it up which meant removing the battery backup and 2850 above it. I GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jul 14, 2017 |
