I thought about that or a RaspberryPi but people wanted a solution that "just works" and stuck with Win10 and Powerpoint. This is the first company I've worked at that wasn't scraping together money and begging for a larger budget so it's weird to not take the cheap route and put something neat together, and instead just do the quickest way and move onto other stuff.

CollegeCop posted:What's pissing me off today? Update on this - Thanks to input from EORaptor, I sent some information up to the third level teams. The ticket was with Collaborations, because it looked like an issue with Outlook/Office, and they were supposed to be working with the Networking team. The next day, Collaborations added a note to the ticket that basically said "This is a VPN connection issue. Make sure user has a valid VPN connection and try again." And then they closed the ticket as Resolved. Didn't forward to it to Networking to have them follow up on the VPN issue. Just closed it. Resolved. Not our problem.

Re: digital signage, I managed to use the quotes to leverage an increase in the budget and to get the pm to agree to using the local vendor that I wanted to use in the first place but be shot down because “it’s not that hard we should be able to do it ourselves” In other news: today I disabled a user account that hasn’t been logged into since 2016

Pissing me off today: Vendors who need admin rights bugging me for simple poo poo like making a file share. There I revoked your admin access hope it was worth it to get that file share. I found out we now have 5-6 password management solutions, each section of IT is doing their own thing now since the POS they bought back in 2003 doesn't work well with WFH.

A company I previously worked with had a guy retire or whatever and we turned off his account and like 20 things broke. By the time I left the company 3 years later, his team still wouldn't allow us to turn off his account again because they still hadn't manage to figure out all the systems the dude had tied his account to. Something similar then happened at another company I ended up at a few years later. I'm absolutely anal retentive now about how service accounts are set up.

Though, about 15 months after he left we discovered a domain certificate that had used his email address that we needed to get renewed, so I have his address aliased to mine and probably always will (and whoever gets my job after me probably will, as well). But the overhead on an email alias is minimal.

One of my small side responsibilities among IT is "management" of the consumer financing thing we offer in our stores. Its something that normally only demands a few minutes of my attention a month. At 4:15PM Friday, the company that runs the program announced they where completely changing the entire program around. All merchant IDs, existing plans, and website logins would cease to function on Tuesday, May 19th.. To process transactions after that date you would need all new IDs and logins. So a 1 business day notice for a major change. The email said to call for your new merchant IDs and the information you would need. Except all their phone numbers now went to a "voice mail box is full" message. Literally every single menu option in their phone tree went to the same message. At 4:00pm today, they announced all the changes have been canceled and all old logins and IDs have been restored. I hope whatever dumbass decided this was a good idea gets taken out back and shot.. Or at the very least beat-up a little bit. stevewm fucked around with this message at 21:40 on May 18, 2020 |

I had to escalate a ticket to another team due to not having access to the code base for a piece of software that has a bug and is writing incorrect info to the database that I support. The developers with access managed to bounce the ticket around and sit on it long enough (about 6 months) that the store literally burned down. They sent it back today because the server the software and database sit on is offline.

The CEO of the company has been continuing to work off-book on a year-old branch of the app, with changes for a specific very large customer. As if that wasn't bad enough (the main branch has diverged massively), all the new code is thousands of lines of freshman-grade copy/paste, and entirely untested, and we have to clean it all up and integrate it into the main branch.

My company is in the process of building another store. I have been trying to sort out connectivity. I found out there is a local outfit that has been running fiber to local businesses. In doing a bit of research, I found out the owner of the fiber company is ALSO the owner of the local competitor store that our new store is likely to run out of business. Oops....

I actually spoke with them and it appears they can't get fiber to our location anyways. Only 25/5 fixed wireless (bleh, not going there) So looks like Spectrum it is

For some reason that reminds me of when we recently were opening a 2nd store in the same city and the dumb as rocks cable ISP went to our original location and installed a 2nd line and modem, presumably because whoever was doing it stopped reading at the business name, not the address.

ATT did something similar to us. We were opening a sister store focusing on one specific line of product in the same city, about 3 miles away from the existing store. ATT showed up at the second location, installed the new line as ordered, and then moved the main store's phone number over to it and put the new number on Line 1 at the main store. It only took them minutes to gently caress it up, but days to fix. They had no explanation how the work order ended up with instructions to swap numbers. We only ordered a new line of service with a new number. The only connection to the main store was matching billing addresses. At least we where able to have the number forwarded until they fixed it. When we closed that sister store 2 years later, I was afraid they would end up disconnecting services at both locations. They at least managed to successfully cancel the service.

I swear to God if I have to tell my boss that "I don't have permissions to do that in o365" one more time I am going to loving lose my poo poo. He took away everyone's (well every active admin's) Global Admin permissions, which is good I guess... But he doesn't know how to do poo poo, and hasn't given proper specific permissions to anyone who needs to do stuff. Just hap-hazzardly giving whatever to whomever asks for it when he needs something done. Meanwhile we still have like 6 service accounts and 2 departed users with Global Admin rights so what in the actual gently caress are you doing dude?

I hate getting a project that was half-started by someone else a year ago and they don't remember anything about what they did. And then getting pushback on either restarting from scratch, or a vendor who can't just blow the existing setup away.

And since hes the "owner" we cant get those powers transferred to anyone else. Now I cant download any new products to build my SCCM installs and I have to walk him through doing it.
