Can we talk about documentation for a sec? I document everything I do in Evernote or a git repository, depending on what I'm doing. Everyone else I work with is horrible at documenting anything. What do you document? How thoroughly do you document it? What are most people missing in recording changes that are being made?

I get a few of those, and do them all at once at the end of a 2 or 4 week period. Anyone that needs an email from our backups urgently has to run it through their boss and explain why. A partner at my firm is freaking out because his BlackBerry has a virus. Some website called "IN" is asking him to log in and he doesn't know what that is so he must have a virus. yes, it's linkedin

We can just secure print to our MFPs. When you print you type in a 4-digit code and are given the opportunity to rename your document so that nobody sees you printing ricola_termination_final(2).doc or whatever.

nitrogen posted:Thats the big thing. We use the terminology the vendor uses by policy, to eliminate confusion. For example, replication vs. clustering with mysql. We have customers that don't understand the difference, and freak out when they get a quote for carrier grade mysql vs enterprise, so we're careful to use the same terminology as the vendor. It'll be interesting what we'll do when the eventual lawsuit comes down. Yeah, I agree with that for sure, it's just weird that someone at the vendor doesn't just go "oh yeah I can see how that's a bad thing to say" and change it.

There's a company that does some over-the-phone support for us, and at the beginning of every call there a ~1 min blurb about how they want us to take a survey, then after the call another blurb about how we're about to get a survey, then two super short questions. The support people are always great, and I want to give them a high rating every time, but loving stop making me listen to all the other survey related garbage god drat it

A brand new user decided she didn't want to walk all the way to the printer that is roughly 10 steps from her desk, so she went into the office of one of the partners who is away on vacation, took their printer and cables, and plugged it in at her desk. Then she emailed me after hours telling me that her printer was broken and that she wasn't able to work and that I needed to fix it ASAP, cc'ing her manager and my boss. Monday is going to be amazing.

I have to admit it felt really good to do that. Admittedly the owner being a giant jackass made it a bit easier. He is going to contact the owner and the management board and try and get me paid. I wont be doing anything until I get a cheque in my hand or some sort of reasonable arrangement is made. Don't put it back online until after the cheque clears. Also small claims court (in my jurisdiction) is super cheap to file in and this specific situation sounds like it would take very little time to prepare for.

Someone just opened the box for a new waste toner bottle, pulled the bag (that the old waste toner bottle goes into) out of it, dumped all of the waste toner out of the full bottle into the bag, and then put the old waste toner bottle back into the machine, leaving an open bag full of toner and a box with a never-used waste toner bottle in the copy room.
