The CE there wants to talk to our CE, and apparently everyone has cooked up a plan to have that call forwarded to me to pretend I'm the CE, since the real one is a fuckwad. You are the gift that keeps on giving  and your station is going to burn down once you leave.In other news I somehow got my thumb jammed between a Nexsan E60 and the rack. It was so sudden I let out a rather terrifying howl that scared my coworkers half to death. I fixed it with a paper towel and a velcro tie.

Roargasm posted:Why do you need managed wireless access points? If you set them up right you should only have to touch them once. I suppose it could work for a single AP. But when you're deploying APs in large numbers, you definitely need systems that will support 802.11r or you will have a bad time. That's usually found on Enterprise class APs. Managed wireless also adds additional functionality like flexible p-caps (wireless, bridge connections, trunk captures), centralized config management, more robust VLAN support, multiple BSSIDs, automatic RF-Tuning, logging... the list goes on and on.

Her worried look belied the excitement she felt as the blindfold was placed over her eyes. "What's the safe word?" She tensed as she felt his warm breath against her ear, "That doesn't concern you, right now." He then commenced pleasuring himself as she sat by and shitposted on an internet comedy forum.

Well one major feature of the software we use at the moment is that it integrates nicely with another system we use, and the new thing doesn't/won't. I agree, nothing wrong with bringing fresh perspective to a role, but this is firmly in "new guy says everything was done better at his last job" territory.

 Somewhere, the worlds tiniest violin is playing. Edit: Yes, I know every single way to recover unsaved documents from a Word crash. All that does is teach users that they don't have to save their work, because the IT monkeys will fix it for them. Save your work.

I know how much everyone loves dysfunctional broadcast stations, came in the building to this passive aggressive note to all on air talent from our gm (cell pic so huge) "You will be number one on my hit list"  Also he basically wants us to sound like an automated station even though the principle behind our station is that we're NOT. Oh and did I mention he's been in the building maybe 3 hours total this week?

The guy doesn't like four letter words of profanity, so presumably stuff like "motherfucker" are acceptable. He's just bored of hearing the same old boring stuff guys!
