C-levels wanted to have a meeting in a conference room in another building with potential investors. They didn't think about things like needing chairs to sit in so literally 20 minutes before the investors were supposed to arrive they're SCREAMING at me to "get some loving tables and chairs set up in that building."
Their "conference table" was basically a bunch of fold up plastic tables stuck together.

After I finished getting all the table and chairs set up the CEO looks at me and says "where's the projector?"
:confused: ...what loving projector?

This is the same company that gave me a weekend to do an openstack deployment on hardware that doesn't support virtualization.

To be fair it's not like we were gonna come up with a better solution in 20 minutes. If I told them to gently caress off I'm sure they would have expected me to just roll the chairs over there a couple at a time.

Does your office not have facility people? Why is IT moving chairs? Why am I asking this question? I am glad that the bullshit I deal with doesn't include dumb manual labor that has nothing to do with my job.

IT keeps the lights on.
No really, we literally had to change the lightbulbs.

There were like 12 C-levels but not a single facilities person. It was the most hosed bass-ackwards place I've ever seen.
People's job responsibilities changed daily, the company shifted focus and missions weekly, spawned new companies weekly. it was a crazy loving shitshow.
They went from 100 to 500 back to 200 employees within the span of a year.

Oh I almost forgot about the time I had to install a FAKE request-to-exit button so the fire marshall wouldn't fine us. (Of course I told him it didn't work as soon as he got there and the company got fined :D)

All those chairs have wheels - why didn't you tow them in a long chain behind the truck?

Much easier than having to lift them up.

Tried that before. They all fell over at the parking lot exit and I hosed up the arms and backs of a bunch of them.

The good thing about Rackspace loving up like that is that there's probably people who decided to subscribe to Office 365 and use that for their email, and then kicked off migration jobs to pull things out of Rackspace, hugely increasing the load vs. where it might normally be.

It has certainly made the higher ups take notice and getting them to move to 365 sooner rather than later.

So if anyone has good deals on government cloud 365, let me know or PM me.
