Sneakers/trainers just look less professional when dealing with clients/users/whatever, it's not totally unreasonable to want an employee to wear something else. There are plenty of black or brown rubber soled shows that basically feel like sneakers without making it look like you're coming back from a jog.

I've quit jobs because of mandatory ties.

A ticket came in... from home.

My wifes backup drive for her photography business failed. Of course the drive that had all of the original data on also failed 6 months ago and she never thought it might be a good idea to keep the backup data mirrored somewhere else since it was now the only surviving copy.

The is, of course, entirely my fault and now my problem.

Does anyone have any experience with Crashplan or any cloud backup solutions? any recommendations?

Crashplan is great and reasonably priced. It's saved my rear end a couple of times now.

In their defense the drives in these Precision T3600 series towers are incredibly flimsy. I felt like I was going to break the replacement drive while testing it.

I had one that on ejecting just kept going until the tray fell out. (The motor shorted and the retaining clip snapped.) A one in a million and one of the most surreal things I've seen hardware do.

Long story short, the lead anchor can't get something working on a website.

I get up there and start looking for a workaround and the anchor starts sighing and huffing.

Then I notice an awfully warm breeze coming from under the desk. loving space heater.

Then she lets out another huge sigh and says, "I really don't have time to deal with this right now."

"Fine," I replied, "Neither do I."

I bent down, grabbed the heater, and walked off. gently caress your high school prima donna attitude.

BONUS!! Convinced the GM we need to start budgeting, at the very least, user computer upgrades. Meeting tomorrow with GM and Chief Engineer to decide how to proceed. I'm not backing down on this.

It's the loving middle of July! Why is there a goddamn space heater on at all? :catstare:

Went back to Fry's Electronics recently to grab something quick that couldn't wait for amazon prime to deliver. They are still using Windows XP running a dos box for their inventory and POS system.
