Usually took me 2 or 3 crimps to get one that worked. No I don't make cables anymore. I was only doing this for wiring up my own house and never again !

Had a member of the sales team test positive for Omicron over the weekend. 2 more tested positive yesterday. The remaining 5 all received positive results at some point yesterday evening. Our entire sales department is now one old lady at a remote site running off a 4G connection. No problem, I managed to order 10 laptops back in 2020 before the first lockdown. They are all secured with only VPN access and a VoIP phone. I boxed them back up and stored them in the stationery cupboard. Oh...you had a big cleanout of the stationery cupboard? Thats fine - where did you put the laptops? Oh...it was cleared out by the builders and they cannot remember where they put them? Hope you enjoy treasure hunting!

I was supposed to go to Seattle this week for a work trip. It got canceled at the last minute. I was going to watch playoff football on the flight there. Bought a book to read. Then on Monday morning my co-worker 'had covid symptoms' so she didn't come in. She got a negative test around noon, but she can't come back in until she takes a second negative test within 4 days. So she can't come back until Thursday. So in a way it works out that I'm not gone because she can't be here. But it sucks because we're moving a couple workstations, we have a couple new people starting this week, along with all the regular poo poo. I might have the MSP send over one of the guys that was here on-site every day before we hired our own helpdesk person. Although, we are getting lunch catered from my favorite deli this week and I would have missed it if I was gone. Pastrami cures all.

I am really struggling with not caring at this job. As in, I know I need to not care but I'm struggling with disengaging enough to put in the minimum amount of effort and spend the rest of my time applying for jobs. I see a problem and I hear "well it's this way because the other way we can do it is too expensive" and my initial reaction is to try to figure out a way to make it cheaper rather than to realize that this level of penny-pinching will never stop sucking to deal with. I spend the majority of my time trying to fix broken incomplete software where they outright state basic features like "automatically runs on startup" are unsupported, and we're sticking with it because moving off of it would mean having to stand up VMs for the new solution (that we already use elsewhere) which would cost money.

Sounds about right. Those types of places are soul-crushing to work for. Although I will say, I have that same struggle these days at pretty much every job. That may just be the burnout / state of the world talking.

 : *goes to software vendor's website, submits contact request* Hey software vendor, I need to buy an upgrade license and three new licenses for this software you sell. I know you have an order page in the website, but we are government and therefore need a quote on order to make this purchase. Here is my serial number for the upgrade license.  :You can order the software on our website at this link *links to website I used to submit the request* : Yes, I know, but as part of our purchasing process, we need a quote. Here is the quote for an upgrade license you requested. : I actually need a quote for one upgrade license and three new licenses. : You only have one serial number, so you can only upgrade one copy. If you want three total copies, you will need to order one upgrade copy and two new copies. Upgrade copies are  , new copies are . : I get that upgrade copies are and new copies are . I need a quote for three new copies and one upgrade copy.How the gently caress can it be this difficult? All this company does is sell software! How can they be this bad at it?

Most people just can't read. I realised today that a large part of my job consists of reading things that make perfect sense and then dumbing them down for people who earn more than me.

I don't do that because 90% of the time I don't take a lunch. I have never really been able to switch off for lunch and then back on, so it's just another hour of thinking about work when I could be done an hour earlier and stop thinking about it for the night. I ended up taking lunch today and going out and reminding myself of why I do this job, so I can keep living in this idyllic little town and make enough money to be in a good financial situation while I find the next job that puts me in a better financial situation.

That's a fair point and if you're more productive powering through 8 hours straight more power to ya. Just make sure you're blocking that last hour where you're not in. I wish I could stop thinking about my job at 5

Not pissing me off today -  I GOT A NEW JOB !!!Small State university, doing the parts of the job I actually liked from <PreviousJob> Almost a 40% pay raise Gonna miss my current WFH situation, but maybe I'll be able to shed some of my Covid bulk walking around campus Not gonna miss the current crop of users I have to deal with Definitely not gonna miss the Metrics-Centered culture that has grown lately at current job, nor will I miss the outsourced call center "analysts" they've started bringing in

Had a fun BOFH moment yesterday. One of my projects is vaulting privileged accounts into our PAM and then progressively setting them to rotate based on role. We started with highest privileged people like ourselves, are currently working on server and network equipment admins and service accounts, and will hit up individual application owners and helpdesk/call center folks at the end. EVERYONE with a privileged account gets periodic notifications about this, and we've sent out instructions multiple times. Call Center: Takes call for access to a specific system. Escalated ticket (correctly) to that system's admin. Application Admin: Two paragraphs of snark that's visible to the end user about how she hasn't been able to login to her application since last week because of "cyber-arc" and since she noone has worked her request for access to the PAM, she kicks the ticket back to the call center with "you guys figure out how to grant the user access" Call Center: Routes ticket to deskside for some reason Deskside: Puts "Please advice" (misspelling and all) in ticket and routes to our team. I get the ticket, check the user in the PAM, see that she's vaulted but not protected and that her standard account login to CyberArk has access to manage her privileged account. Checked net user, her privileged account password is ~30 days old and still has the same on the clock before it expires. She's in the lowest tier for password rotation since the only permission assigned to her privileged account is an admin logon to her application for user management. We don't have a PAM access request, and it would be useless to submit one anyways because it's automatic for anyone with a privileged account, whether they're being rotated or not. So what's with the snark? If you need a password reset, login to CyberArk and use the tool to reset it, or just ask for one. BOFH: "The password for privileged account <username> was last changed on <date> and is good until <date>. All privileged accounts have been loaded into the CyberArk vault but this account was not set to be rotated,. We have enabled password rotation for this account. The CyberArk service account will begin setting the password to a random string every 72 hours at 1am, beginning at 1am overnight tonight. Please see the attached instructions on logging in to CyberArk with your CAC card, and using the tool to force a reset on your password if needed. Also see the link below for creating a virtual smart card for your privileged account." There have been endless complaints about how this is impeding people from doing their jobs and blah blah blah. Create a Virtual Smart Card for your privileged account and you'll almost never have to login to the PAM to pull your password. Lesson: Do not complain that the PAM is impeding you from doing your work, when the PAM is not touching your account. Else we will jump you to the front of the line.

I go home for lunch, let my dogs out and get to eat whatever I have in the house. If I stayed at work during my lunch I'd just wind up working so it's nice to completely disconnect for that hour.
