I have very little SharePoint experience, but that's never stopped me before! We run a SharePoint on-premise app-dev platform and use Nintex for our workflows. The interface beats SharePoint workflows hands-down and is much more extensible. Get yourself some training, there are plenty of resources online. The O365 version has a ton of extra hooks into other online services like O365, SalesForce, MailChimp, etc.

We got to bill a client to unjam a printer years back. The printer had no paper in it. We drove to Wales to tell them they needed to put paper in the printer. (I suppose this is technically a failure on our first line, too)

I got asked to set up an entire call center environment for a three person group because one of the people uses the phone for personal calls all day and they don't want to handle it by just talking to them.

Get a big scary looking helical antenna and point it straight at their desk. e: Refresh before posting. Though I'd recommend something with an exposed coil, like this:

If I encountered one of these idiots I'd be scrambling to find an AP with the most and largest antennas I could get to put as close as possible to their desk. If they ever complete the "realignment" of the company I will probably end up reporting to that guy, and I've already antagonized him plenty just by pushing back when he tries to insist that these hosed up idiots are actually acting in a professional business-like fashion. He's been here for almost 15 years, and I think it was his first real job so he has no idea about how a business should run. I think everyone here has had enough of me but they lack the will to look for a replacement. So until then I keep getting that paycheck.

People connecting to our webapp from Arkansas are getting timeouts every now and then. Please check their network and see where the latency issues are. That's all the information I've been given, I pushed back to at least get a phone number or an IP address, twice, while still getting daily annoyances about this issue. Management "Well people in California don't see this kind of latency so it must not be an issue with the network traffic! Stuff from farther away works so stuff closer must work better right?"

My boss has been cussing a blue streak over the India people refusing to answer the questions he asks and demanding that he just "fix the problem". This has been going on for three YEARS, but the people in India have decided that a recent shutdown of our server room for electrical work must have changed something, so we obviously just need to change it back to fix the problem.

The server room lives in this general neighborhood. They are going to jack it up and rig something so it hopefully doesn't fall and crush someone to death. It's a 24/7 facility and they don't want to wait for a down time to power poo poo off so we aren't tipping live disk arrays. Can just hope they don't drop poo poo or tip it beyond the agreed upon 15ish degrees. Disk failure rates are super awesome once you start operating at a steep angle. These same folks moved the ATT demarc box a few weeks ago in spite of all of the warning stickers that said do not open do not touch and hosed all the fiber up until it got re-terminated, so I'm basically waiting for the slew of system down messages.

Good excuse to replace everything with solid state memory, though.

I would tell them it can be tipped, but like the movie Speed it has to be maintained at that exact degree from the truck all the way to the server room or KABLAM!

Well for starters, your building in DC suddenly drawing several dozen megawatts of power to ensure it starts heating the Oval Office through the window would probably draw suspicion when it overloaded the local substation and knocked out power for a bunch of people.

The server room lives in this general neighborhood. So you already have evidence that they don't know what they're doing. Do not allow them to do a thing that a. will probably gently caress up your equipment and b. will push the equipment failure down the road so they can't be provably at fault. Electricians should be far, far away from data. I watched an electrician try to tip fiber once and it was like watching a bear try to knit.

Problem: customer is reporting that his "email computer" is no longer receiving mails. Turns out that his email computer is running Windows 98. After telling him a few times that having a Win98 exposed to internet was a bad idea, we found out that the reason he wasn't getting was simply because the computer had lost the internet connection somehow. His DSL line was up and his new "internet computer" was online just fine, so I left it there and told him again to get his email account set up on the new computer. Old farmers are set in their ways I guess.
