KillHour posted:The customer assured my coworker that radar station was a satellite. And my coworker took his word for it. So I got to spend about 5 minutes wondering why the hell they wanted a security camera to look at a satellite, and what the gently caress it was doing "on a roof." Also, that was an IM conversation, so his spelling really is that bad. To be honest, if I saw a radome like that I'd probably give it a 50/50 chance that there was a radar or satellite antenna in there. You should have told your co-worker that the cool-kids term is 'buckyball'.

myron cope posted:We haven't been opening tickets for stupid/small stuff because, well, it's stupid/small stuff. Don't lie, but if that happened to me I'd say "After resolving issues, I have began asking 'are there any other minor issues that I might be able to take care of while I'm down here?' This reduces the number of tickets but is extremely good for building a good reputation." If your company has a bullshit customer service slogan, this is a time to use it. "I always try to give them the pickle!"

Do the right thing. Gather up all the documentation onto your work PC. Start organizing it, try to do a good job, let someone in management know what you're doing via email and bcc yourself. If you finish before they let you go, good job! If you don't, oh well, you've let them know where the documentation is.

If a nap in the middle of the day helps them get their work done, they should be allowed and encouraged to take one. (Note: this assumes they don't need to cover a shift or something - I'm coming at this from a developer's perspective here) What do you do if your most productive developer is in the habit of taking a half-hour long nap in the middle of the day? Buy him a pillow.

dogstile posted:Of course, co-workers who literally just go all drone and not apply an outside thought to what they're doing annoy me. I have co-workers who are completely fine applying a "fix" for an issue that breaks something else, but they'll never connect the fix and the resulting issue that emerges after. This means we get twice the tickets, because a simple "apply fix, adjust x" ends up making another issue, which will be taking longer because the guy investigating the issue after won't know what's caused the change, so narrowing down what to do to fix it becomes harder. I really hate this attitude. I can't tell you how many issues I know of where the standard fix is "Make them local admin." It probably takes the same amount of time to give them read/write privileges to the one folder where they need access. I'm just glad that no one with that attitude is in a supervisory position over me, I'd probably start openly working on my resume at work if I got written up for wasting time troubleshooting when there's a known "solution."

This is the reason I'm studying virtualization like my life depends on it. Right now, you occasionally need a lot of manpower to handle things like replacing hundreds of computers. If you replace those computers with thin clients, it'll be harder to justify some of those jobs. I think a lot of people won't even see it coming.

dogstile posted:Doesn't getting the licenses for all those thinclients cost about as much as a server and a load of PC's? I overheard some of the sales people mentioning that the cost isn't worth it for some people. It's definitely not one of those "No-Brainer" cost decisions, but I think things are moving in that direction and at many companies it'll make sense to replace some portion of their workstations with thins.

skipdogg posted:Thin clients can in the long run save you money if you care about ROI over 3 years or so. Just power alone would save us about 1,000 dollars a month in electricity bills, but I never got call center management to see past the initial larger capex outlay. The big thing I'm looking at is the upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 (or 9 or whatever) in 2020. With thin clients, everything would be done behind the scenes and then one day you turn on your computer and it's the new version.

Really offensive mnemonics are memorable. I'll probably remember the resistor codes until the day I die. I'll struggle to recognize the faces of my family members but still be able to interpret an orange stripe on a resistor. How can I forget my taxonomy. King Philip Came Over For Gay Sex I remember my network topology with: Always poop sitting (on the) toilet. NEVER double poop! I'm not saying that any of this is appropriate in a workplace environment, so keep it in your head.
