Simpleboo posted:So I work in a medical labs IT department and at least twice this week I've been called out to draw stations for nonfunctioning printers. Twice they have had no paper. How retarded can you be? We have a utility set up that says what the status of the printer is on the screen of the terminals at ALL TIMES, and when I got to the PCs the first thing I see is that it says it's out of paper. So instead of doing stuff that would help the lab run better like automation and whatnot I have to drive 10 miles to put paper in someones printer. 10 miles is nothing. I once did 2 1/2 hours each way in the middle of the night to plug in a network cable that the nurse "traced, yeah it's plugged in".

stubblyhead posted:So did you lose your job, or just others or you don't know yet just that it's coming? My last day will be December 31st. I really like my team, and the feeling is mutual, but they were directed from a very high level to eliminate all contractors. The other contractor that I work with was able to transition into an area that did not have that mandate to provide support for the tool we worked on, but only 1 position was available there (which is okay with me, I really want to get out of support entirely and move further into technical program management or project management).

SEKCobra posted:I think I am starting to get depressed because of all the resignation of my boss over complaints, but his happiness to punish and insult me for all the things I didn't even do wrong. It also appears that a majority of coworkers are actively conspiring to sabotage me and tell my boss how I'm trying to get them to do my work, while I actually had to handle a whole day's business on my own because all of them sat in their office and simply refused to go out and handle any incidents. I have no idea what to do to let my boss know that I am, in fact, working and probably more than most of my direct coworkers within the 15 minutes we see each other in the morning meeting. It appears that "supposedly great" coworker is now being taken out of daily life to join my boss for who-knows-what and is talking serious slack in a subliminal way so my boss is taking that as fact. Doesn't help that "manager" (who shares an office with the boss) generally likes to tell him that we all don't do any work ever. I tried bringing this sorta think up in private before, when the boss wanted to ban me from any interesting work after I refused to clean a dusty shelf because of allergies, he didn't even consider this a real issue for me, no, I was simply trying to get out of work. So I talked to him in private and he let me know how he was "seeing me put my workload onto coworkers". We don't have a ticket system or anything (too small/boss' mindset) and he literally never sees any of us work so how he feels to have surveyed this is beyond me. I'm guessing it's what "manager" and sg coworker are telling him. When I told him that he must have a wrong impression he just told me to "prove it to him". Do you have local admin? Install something like spiceworks and make/maintain a personal ticketing system. Or just get some legal pads and document everything you do date/time so you can show him how you're filling your day.

Yeah, and a google spreadsheet/form will give them reason to fire you for putting company information on the cloud without permission

Just do what the guy how I took over from did and delete everything in both your local and remote drives including all the process guides, backup license keys for every piece of software, support contract information... Everything! The guy didn't print a single thing out or back it up properly so I'm pretty much building it all from scratch again. I'm hoping to get on with a different department as an FTE. I have recommendations from practically everyone from both teams I've been on as a contractor. They just ran out of contractor funding.

evol262 posted:Who would use anything but NYC for NYC? It's NakOLik river airport. It was actually MSY before NOL came about. According to the internet: quote:MSY stands for Moisant Stock Yards. Before the airport was built, an early aviation pioneer crashed a small plane on the property--John Moisant. John was born in 1868 in Kankakee, IL. His death in a crash on what was then a Harahan Plantation occurred while he was preparing to try for a new world's record for sustained flight. After the crash, the property was turned into stock yards for cattle and named after him--Moisant Stock Yards. Then the airport was built on the same site. Since most residents knew where Moisant Stock Yards were located, the name was used as the first identifier for the airport. The original name of the airport was Moisant Field. The name was changed to New Orleans International Airport, but the identifier stayed the same since it is extremely difficult to change the airports identifier in all of the publications. :themoreyouknow:

EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:Starbucks is basically responsible for coffee culture in North America, even though some of their their coffees are overroasted, and "Charbucks" is some Micro$$$oft level poo poo. Nah, Micro$oft is generally used by people who ignore the obvious better or available solution over the more obscure one because they're the user/admin version of before it was cool hipsters. Charbucks is actually a play on the fact that they roast heavily. Plus, there's generally ALWAYS a better coffee solution out there, and generally just as readily available.

Good on Starbucks for creating such a coffee culture and supplanting tobacco in IT because god drat is chewing tobacco some disgusting poo poo (ran into several coworkers doing it today for the first time since I've been there). In all fairness to the argument, the above mentioned nude coffee stand is 2.4 miles from my house. I have never been there.
