It does sound strange. All I can think of is there's an EMC vCenter plugin (VSI) that might have had the configuration goofed by the update. If you're not using the plugin then it won't be that.

My policy is that if your phone or computer makes any beeping noises in the office, I will whistle that noise back at you. Seems to work.

Just got an email from a director - notification of mandatory training. Have 5 weeks to complete it. Except it's a forwarded email, and he received it 5 weeks ago. So we have half the amount of time necessary to complete what looks like a pretty extensive training series.

The perl script looks like some stat-gathering thing, and the three of them are from September 25 and JULY 25. I can't find any documentation on "Container Framework controlled component UDoctor", so I guess I'm at the mercy of EMC's garbage support.

It displays texts, SfB and other text when they come through, and vibrates very quietly when a call comes in while displaying the Caller ID. It also displays alarms and alerts from the calendar app on my phone.

My customer liaison is complaining that my report isn't picking up commitments. It is, but it's not showing anything for three codes. That's because despite the POs being from June, nobody put them in until three months later. I show him the screen with the date they were entered, but he thinks that can't be right because someone in another team attached documents for the PO in a completely different part of the system in June. Never mind the fact that people here are routinely months slow in getting stuff done because nobody has been watching them ever before. We've found the exact same thing happening in other projects. To be fair, he's probably having the customer complain about it being wrong, and they don't want to hear that it's because the data is bad and we can't fix it. The good part is he's willing to deal with it on Thursday because we're both super busy tomorrow. So Thursday morning I check with my boss to make sure I'm reading it right, and his word is basically gold when it comes to this system. AP here is so slow we've had services at sites shut off because they don't even put the request for a new vendor in until midway through the day before it needs to be paid. Our payments to CDW have been so far behind that they refuse to ship us anything on multiple occasions.

Very minor and petty thing that annoys me: People who use double question marks after a question. To me it just makes the question come off as needlessly aggressive.

Someone I went to school with uses double full stop and THEN the punctuation he actually wants at the end of each sentence. So yes, you get an ellipsis whenever he actually means a full stop. I have no idea where he got this from, it certainly wasn't taught.

Bad grammar, and especially bad punctuation can make most things sound bad or carry unintended intent (heh) . You're not even supposed to use two question marks, it's either one, three or a question mark plus an exclamation mark...

I think the high-end ones that can work standalone for phone and navigation probably have a niche for workout and general outdoors-y stuff, but let's be honest; For the general consumer base it's just fulfilling that childhood desire for a sweet futuristic high-tech watch, and I am in no way immune to this myself  .My only question is why no-one's put a camera on the watchface for two-way video calls because it's so obvious!

A friend of mine has an Apple Watch and finds it really useful for being able to quickly see if an email/message is worth reading/needs a response without having to get his phone out, because he gets hundreds of messages a day. That's a niche use case though and really he needs a PA at this point, as well as better email rules and actually unsubscribing from marketing lists.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Know what other device does all of those things? Not going to lie, having a wrist vibration that you can glance at is a lot handier than having to dig out and gently caress with your phone all the time, but YMMV with the volume of notifications you get. Also it's almost worth it for the "wrist tap when your exit's actually coming up" alone, but that may just be me and my bad hearing always missing what the GPS is actually saying. I knew it was a geek toy when I got it but it's been useful enough that I don't regret it.

Too early to tell if you were joking, but my manager isn't like that, and a good portion of his job is unfucking the processes so they can find where people are screwing up. Judging by their desks I would say they're screwing up at the point where they have hundreds of sheets of paper in unmarked stacks right next to each other on their desk.

To contribute: One of our devs posted this in Slack: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/357745/are-bad-programming-practices-typical-within-the-software-industry "This popped up on Stack Overflow for me today. I think this is a great question, and the accepted answer is pretty close to perfect and matches my philosophy. I'm adding it to my cubicle wall and thought I would share."

Think about how dysfunctional the server closet or the network is in some of these posts where everyone posts a clown shoes emoji or whatever, and remember that this is the norm for development because the problem turns into the customer's problem, not your problem. Imagine if not only did you have to set it up, quickly, but you're never coming back AND your management doesn't want you to "waste time" "making thing pretty". That's software engineering in a nutshell.

We have a handful of Macs here, all used by longtime but deeply ignorant Apple enthusiasts. All of them have admin rights due to being in the CEO's inner circle so I'm curious to see what goes wrong once they all start upgrading.

Owner comes down while we're all in the middle of this huge project that needs to launch on Monday... Why can't I find any information on our outside sales people on the H: drive? It's in ACT! so it wouldn't be on the H: drive. Why the gently caress is it in there, everyone needs access to that.Sales doesn't want to share that information, so they don't put it there. They put it in ACT! and only they can see it Why the gently caress do they do that!They've always done it that way. I don't decide where the data goes... Well who does?!Sales? I think I know who you can talk to if you don't like that... Who's in charge of sales? The owners loving wife. The two of them never agree on anything (mostly because he's 80-something and batshit crazy half the time) and they always end up pitting employees between them.
