 But yeah EMR conversions are always OT pinatas. Take what money you feel like getting and dip. Speaking of healthcare IT, I've decided that my mission for 2022 is to GTFO out of healthcare IT. I'm really starting to hate this industry. At least at a normal firm I don't have every idiot having a reason to get an urgent ticket and nobody's lives are at stake because people cut corners. With COVID it's plain that I'm completely expendable and don't even get any benefit for being about as frontline as it gets.

regulargonzalez posted:I'll look again to see if I can find more information about the actual shutdown message. I'd be very surprised if it was a power incident -- the hardware is new and I replaced the power strip, and it's running on the same circuit as her cube mate. I suppose it could be the outlet itself but the issue never happens during work hours and you'd expect it to if it was glitchy wiring. Is the user using this shutdown as an excuse for why they aren't meeting a deadline? Even if not, I would suggest hinting that the user is causing the shutdown themself, either intentionally or through incompetence. With careful nurturing, you may be able to develop a new nemesis.

What's up, wanna-get-out-of-healthcare-IT buddy? I don't mind my employer really, in fact they're pretty great but I'm doing nothing most days except for homework and a couple people I work closely with are really intolerable. Like, even worse than customers I had working retail years ago awful. It's a tough call because I may find a better job that pays more but that leaves less time for school right now lol

So when your boss's, boss's, boss's, boss says "Page me if there are any alerts with customer X over the holiday week" and you page them at 2am their time you get a very entertaining rant in Teams. Would page again +++  At least he responded - its very common for anyone above the lowest level of management never to respond. You can be drat sure ICs love naming names for the nobels who don't respond and setting them to bold print in all the tickets.

Agrikk posted:AAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAAA! When we opened our new tower this kept happening in offices until we found out that part of some new "code" is to install these types of outlets for at least 50% of the outlets in a room. So lets say a typical managers office has 6 total outlets, 3 of them have to be motion activated. So you've got one outlet under their desk that has one normal outlet and one motion outlet. Well that does us IT people a lot of good when you have 1 monitor and 1 PC that need to be plugged in at that desk. So we had to go back through all the offices and install medical grade power strips(hospital setting) and make sure they were all plugged into the non switched outlet, in a 5 story tower, with 10-15 offices per floor.

there was some "environmental savings" button at the new Certified Leed Platinum building we moved into, which would shut off "non-essential" loads when people went home for the night. Of course this meant everyone's desk power why do you ask

Being forced to power off stuff sucks, but on the other hand when I would go home for the night and walk past nerdpantst mcgee's desk with xlock on and sleep mode disabled and he went on vacation last week.. well, maybe there's some justification for it.

I can't really think of a justification to leave a desktop on once you've left the office. Windows hibernates and resumes fine if you're not using trash hardware with bad drivers, and chances are if you're an office worker then you have a laptop post-2020 anyway. Turning off people's phone chargers, desk lamps, fans etc. when nobody is in makes sense.

Our offices are shared by multiple shifts, so someone is in the office 24/7 and they are also in/out of the office multiple times as needed on the floor. Out of the 2200 devices in my hospital, probably 4-500 of them are laptops, the rest are desktops.

That is different though and it's understandable you don't want things turning off in the middle of your working day. When I say "left the office" it was in the context of going home for the day, not taking a dump or whatever.

So someone complained about the font on a status board to an exec rather than you know... the helpdesk or anyone in IT. I walk there in the rain, only to find simple options like text scaling can't be changed due to group policy, which I have no influence over. WHY THE gently caress AM I HERE THEN? I am so sick of getting tickets I can do absolutely nothing about, have to create a child ticket that's going to get blown off for a week or more, and have to sit on the original ticket and hear about the metrics I'm missing. Why even have me then if I don't even have access to the policies, and where the gently caress are the people with the access?

What about people with bad eyesight, or ultra high pixel density monitors -- they have to put in a ticket for the sysadmin to adjust their text scaling? Sounds like a nightmare.

Had someone drive a stolen tractor through the gates of a remote yard a couple of days ago, and completely drain our diesel pump. Our site manager should get a call from the 3rd party security monitoring company if any movement is detected for a certain period of time between the hours of 6pm and 6am, but he said he wasn't notified. Director is furious and asks me to ring security company and find out why. Turns out they had been emailing our company asking for permission to attend the yard and check the DVR as the alarm reporting was not triggering correctly. Who had they been emailing? The site manager. How long had they been emailing? Every week for the past year

I told the Director what the security company told me, but I haven't heard any more about it so I am guessing the site manager owned up to it (or at least isn't trying to blame me somehow). I did run off the mail flow report showing the emails coming in, and a mailbox rule audit that shows the rule he created to forward all mail from the security companies' domain to a subfolder, just in case he did try to throw me under the bus though.

That guy's department is terrible for not passing over information. On the other hand, the security company are also pretty awful. They were adamant they hadn't changed the local admin passwords on ANY of our DVRs. I was adamant they had changed the admin passwords on ALL of our DVRs. This dragged on for several months, during which time I couldn't add or edit any users or IP cameras as all the other user accounts on the DVRs were view-only ones. It only got resolved when the above Director wanted to add a PTZ camera to one site (he loves installing cameras for some reason). He was there with me when I installed the DVR and knew what I had set the password to so he phoned up and kicked off. We both got CCed in on an email a few days later with a list of passwords which were not the original ones I set.

Server rack move including a SAN with half the people we were supposed to have along with some new keystone ports at a site 2 hours away to be capped off with putting up about 50 crappy white drop ceiling tiles only to find out the other person involved wasn’t careful and ran wires on the wrong side of the drop ceiling lattice in a few spots. The part that pissed me off? The keystones were cheap and the 4 and 5 wire slots often bent during the punch down which would mean you had to start all over again. Oh and the hand drilling, gently caress hand drilling.

For the most part, “saving money” or reining in spending only happens or matters when it comes to paying people. Saving waste and being more efficient with money is apparently rarely worth the effort. But gently caress you, you can’t have $1,000 extra total next year to split across your team to bump their pathetic raises a little higher. No Christmas bonus of any kind this year. Kinda weird.
