"Hi my Outlook keeps telling me that my OST is corrupted" "Ok I can see that you have it set to cache everything locally and you have a mailbox that's over 50GB in size, how about we just cache the last six months of mail?" "No I need to cache it all" Can't help you man, sorry. Not spending time on it, the fix is to use the software according to best practises.

We have a new accounting VP. He used to be a VP at a bank. He brought with him and imported into his Outlook about 100 gigs of PST files from the bank. My tech said that there was a lot of personal banking info in this emails. Good times.

Yeah that actually seems like something Legal should get involved in asap. I'm sure they'd love to hear all about confidential banking details now stored on the company's servers.

Aside from legal concerns, the clean slate is my favourite thing about starting a new job. Can't imagine wanting to import old headaches from a previous job

I am starting a new job in a couple of months, it's an internal move but it means I will start using my secondary email account as my primary and just ditch the primary... practically nothing useful goes to my secondary email account so literally this morning I just went 'ctrl + a, delete' It felt so good.

He's being groomed to take over as CFO when the current guy retires. He's actually a super nice guy and is very pro-IT, but my boss and my bosses boss said to drop it, so ok yes sir.

My manager who's been here for all of 6 months is leaving. I've only been here 9 months and I'm a little worried they might want me to replace him. His position did not sound like a fun job

One of the people on our pager duty rota got covid so one of my guys wanted to have a go at covering it and as ever, someone called for something non-emergency which isn't supposed to happen. I guess listening to someone getting that call, rather than just rolling my eyes and dealing with it, offered me a new perspective as I kinda went "thats really dumb, lets try and do something about it" I suggested to the team in our huddle can we put an auto attendant on the number the guys ring so it says 'this is for emergencies, please have duty manager authorisation and please leave a voicemail if no one answers and someone will return your call in 30 mins' (basically follow the process you idiots) I am typically guilty of err'ing on the over engineering side of things so I was a bit anxious that I'd get a few eye rolls but everyone said "yes we want that!" I was quite please it was well received. Hopefully that makes that job a bit less painful.

All the ACs failed at a remote site because of flooding. ...the foot of water will help cool the equipment. That's how this works, right? Believe it or not, our loving champion of a facilities guy managed to keep the place running without any service interruptions.

a ticket came in: they want to show back to the future at the middle school sock hop. this was my responsequote:I spoke to [librarian] about this; her understanding is that we would need to license the film from the rightsholder. There is a company called “Swank” that licenses a catalog of films, including BTTF, for performance at K-12 schools. They don’t offer a la carte licensing, only the full catalog, and according to the price sheet it would cost us $1,000 for a one-year term. If you want to look into licensing just BTTF directly from Universal, which may be cheaper, you can contact Michael.Daruty@nbcuni.com and see what they have to offer.

I would bet money that my schools in the 80's and 90's never bothered to get rights to anything like that, music/movie or otherwise. I suppose it makes sense they'd have to, but I wonder how many bother? I'm staying out of the last part of your email because that's certainly not a subject I'd broach in IT.

I think it would depend a lot on if they found out. They're not monitoring school newsletters or anything to go looking for such things, but if they found out via some means they might at least send a threatening letter. Actually suing it would probably have to be something like "school sold tickets to the general public" kind of deal. Or not, depending on how evil they were feeling that day I guess.

GreenNight posted:For real, they gonna sue a middle school? i doubt it, but i was specifically asked about rights and i'm not going to say "yeah that's fine, go ahead" when i know it's not. anyway they decided not to do the movie after all. the wally reflector works again as for my content concerns, i suppose it's none of my business, but the plan was to have the film playing silently while a dj plays '50s rock and roll, and the mental image of biff pulling up her dress with his hand over her mouth while some old bill haley rear end "hoppin at the sock hop tonite" song plays was unsettling to say the least, and we'd probably hear about it from some families. i just wanted to make sure the folks planning this event knew what they were getting into and didn't just pick bttf because "the fifties!"
