demonachizer posted:I am pretty sure that it is imperative that there is at least one websense bannable phrase on every page of this thread from now on. Some days it really feels like that's the case. WebSense seems to randomly pick pages on SA to block for me. I'd complain, but I don't want to explain why I am on SA at work in the first place.

Gweenz posted:I don't read this forum that often, but when I do, I notice you are easily the most negative person with nothing constructive to say. How do I ignore users on here? Click the "Profile" button under someone's post to open their profile. On that page, click "Add user to your ignore list.". It won't make the person completely invisible, what it will reduce their posts to a link that lets you click on it to see the stuff you were trying to avoid.

ocall posted:I talked to my immediate supervisor and voiced my concerns. He was not able to convince the CIO that this was unnecessary, so he offered to stay in my place. I did this once when I worked at a grocery store. The forecast called for snow/ice, but the end of the week closing stuff still needed to get done no matter what. So I volunteered (along with a manager and another employee) to spend the night in the store to make sure we could both open and get all the paperwork done. In the end it ended up not snowing, but I still got in a little overtime anyway.

EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:Good! There is nothing more annoying than a 4 minute rambling voicemail message that I could read in 20 seconds if they just loving wrote it down. Honestly, I'll take a 4 minute message that at least has some details about what they want over the guy who leaves me messages that says "Call me about X", where X is usually a really vague subject. Yes, I really want to "call you about reports" when we have 50 different reports you could be running and I don't know if you want a new report, have a question about an old one, or just want to chat.

Thanks Ants posted:The best phone calls are from people internally who will repeatedly call you without leaving messages, and then email you asking to call them back when you get a moment. At no point do they try and give a hint about what they're asking about, and they avoid the internal IM system as well - other than to maybe ask if you got their email asking you to call them. I used to have a coworker who would only leave messages like "Hey, call me back about computers" with no indication if they needed a new computer, had an issue with their computer, had fallen in love with their computer and needed advice, etc. I refused to call him back though; instead I'd email him after a bit to say I was too busy to talk and that if he would email his question I'd address it as soon as I could. Sadly he never learned to just send the email the first time, but it did cut down on the me walking blindly into whatever issue was on his mind that day.

I really hate it when our programmer drops stuff off for testing during the last hour of my shift. Not only is it the worst time for me to try focusing on testing, he's a timezone ahead of me so when I find something wrong he's not even available to look at it until tomorrow.

22 Eargesplitten posted:I think you all are missing one really huge possibility: he’s unpleasant and the people he works with decided to get him fired by lying. Honestly, I don't even think the complaints themselves matter, as far as the story goes. As best I can tell you can boil it down to: Company: Aesis, we want you to quit Aesis: I'd be glad to leave, but you have to formally fire me The company doesn't want to pay the penalties for firing him, so now it's just a tug of war as each side sees just how far they can push the other.

Bigass Moth posted:My four year old can flush the toilet. Why can’t my adult coworkers? Uuuugh, so much this. How hard can it be to take an extra couple of seconds to give the toilet another flush if it didn't fully empty the first time? There's only 9 guys in this office, it's not going to take Columbo to figure out which of you is the filthy one.

The Fool posted:I swear the city is trucking in snow to make berms to block the sidewalks and kill intersection visibility because that's still a problem despite only having 2 inches of snow at a time last winter. I mean, they certainly do that for the Iditarod with how poor the snow's been the last few years. It's always funny when I leave my apartment the day before it starts and the city has just made a mountain of snow in the middle of the street.

One of our IT technicians contacted me because a user opened a ticket about being unable to reinstall the program that I do user setups for. I do a couple of quick checks (user's in the right AD groups, download links are working, etc) but nothing seems wrong. So I go back to the tech and ask him what symptoms the user reported...and he's got nothing. No error messages, no details on which download link she's using, hasn't remoted in to try installing it himself, nothing. I'm pretty annoyed at this point, so I send him back to get some basic information from the user so that we could actually troubleshoot. After several rounds of emails between the tech and the user, he finally comes back to me with an answer: the user couldn't reinstall the program because they never uninstalled it in the first place. Apparently the user thought the way to uninstall a program was to go into the Start menu, right click on the icon, and select "Delete". Properly uninstalling the program, then reinstalling it, fixed their issues.

Kyrosiris posted:One of my coworkers is a shitizen as well (he has a spaceship as his laptop's wallpaper) but he hasn't tried to proselytize about it yet. He wants to "haul cargo", presumably in space. I suggested he look at Elite Dangerous, but no that's too complicated. Instead he won't shut up about these Star Citizen propaganda videos. "It's only $45" he says, as I wait to see how much he actually spends once he realizes he can't actually haul much cargo in the starter ship.

Pissing me off today: the least important person (in my opinion) in this meeting is the one who's asking for us to push the time back. I'd seriously like to deny their request, but they're 1/3 of the participants and the whole point of this meeting was to get them on the same page as far as our development priorities.

IT Tech: Hey Nemo, do you know why this legacy application needs X requirements? Me: Sorry, I don't. I don't support that application, so you should check with Steve since he developed it. 30 minutes later IT Tech: Hey Nemo, do you know if the server for legacy application changed? Me: Sorry, I don't. I don't support that application, so you should check with Steve since he developed it. 5 minutes later IT Tech: So the documentation for legacy application is wrong; it still lists the older server in the setup instructions. IT Tech: Also, do you know why the legacy application is asking for Y? Me: *sigh* The real sad thing is, I know he checked in with Steve at some point because Steve mentioned sending him the most current version of the application.

Speaking of tickets, someone removed my access to the ticket system sometime this fall. I still get the email notifications, but trying to open the ticket to look at it just redirects me to our self-service page. Part me wants to just leave it that way, but eventually I might need to actually open a ticket for something and it would be good to be able to skip the self-service system.

Agrikk posted:Comments like this always make me nervous on others’ behalf. Apparently it caught our Director of Onsite Revenue by surprise when he got laid off, even though 1) he was the smallest group and 2) most of his functions could easily fit into other groups. I count myself lucky that I only ended up with a 6-month furlough. Even though I'm the only QA/analyst/support for this very important program everyone uses, I wouldn't have put it past someone higher up than my director to decide that they didn't really need to test anything before releasing it to the field users.
