Inspector_666 posted:They generally do both, don't they? A Psychiatrist understands the physical chemical processes of the brain, how drugs interact with them, and the different chemical causes for different conditions. They can proscribe medications because they know how everything will work at a physical level. A good one will talk to you to try and find out if your issue is a physical one (chronic or longterm issues) or something caused by environment or a reaction to something else. If they think it's a physical issue made worse by environmental factors, or entirely enviromental, they will have you talk to a psychologist, but may put you on meds for the short term. A psychologist understands how the mind deals with input and how it can be conditioned to react in different ways. They may suggest meds, but somebody else has to do the prescribing.

poo poo pissing me off with rackspace - former employee deletes all of his emails on his last day, before also wiping everything off his computer. This is a person who actually gave us two weeks notice, so we didn't expect mass data destruction to happen. Rackspace apparently doesn't allow "point in time restores" to recover data, and their web system for recovering deleted emails makes you select ONE EMAIL AT A TIME with no Select All button. Try to get them to run a loving powershell command to recover everything they have in the recovery folder? Nope, that's data management, they expressly don't do that! They force you to set up the account in Outlook to recover things via Outlooks recovery options. Which you can't do on a mac, or if you aren't using Outlook or if you just don't want to add TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND EMAILS to your ost file. gently caress you rackspace.

Thanks Ants posted:Did they purge the emails after deleting them? Recover Deleted Items is available in webmail. Yes it is available, but rackspace has it set up so you have to select emails ONE AT A TIME in order to recover stuff. There is no Select All button, and somehow they broke the shift-click function for selecting multiple emails at once.

skooma512 posted:I don't know why time tracking needs to be so convoluted. I play Dwarf Fortress with no tileset and that doesn't even compare with SAP. It's like they're primarily concerned with edge cases, but they never really got around to telling us how to code normal hours, if it even works at all like the training tells you. Nothing can be more complicated than Dwarf Fortress. Anything that looks to be is obviously just a pile of trash that pretends to do something.

It might be regional legal requirements, my company is required to have any packages (not mail) delivered to our company loading dock be opened to verify the contents. Anything without a packing slip may be rejected outright if the name on the package isn't on a short list or our receiving folks are told to keep an eye out for it beforehand.

Serfer posted:Wasn't there a recruiter in the Bay Area that everyone had enjoyed working with? They've demoted my boss and specifically crafted his replacement's job listing to exclude me. They have zero requirements, aside from legal ones and ones they know I don't meet (college degree, previous management experience). The closest thing they have to IT in the requirements is that you have to have "an interest in the future of technology," it's so pathetically bad, and not even being considered after 9 years here is disheartening. What part of the bay area? Place I'm at in Campbell needs a couple more Windows Sysadmins, preferably with Okta and Office 365 experience. PM me.

And they only support two monitors despite having 3 or 4 ports. Don't forget that USB-C isn't actually... USB. We keep having to order macbook pro's for my workplace. The 13" ones that only have 2 USB-C ports and NOTHING ELSE. With no good docking station options available. Please shoot me.

 IT Manager: "Hey software devs, your Dev QA servers are now 4 years out of warranty. We set up AWS for you, and have brought four different companies in to discuss moving your poo poo onto the AWS servers. Why haven't you moved like you promised?" Dev: "We are too busy, and nothing on those servers are critical, we can rebuild as needed." IT Manager: "Are you sure? We can't get replacement parts for this equipment, the cores are maxed out and we don't have space on our internal servers to back this stuff up. If anything fails, we cannot fix it." Dev: "Look, it's fine. Don't worry about it"One server failure late Dev: "Get this server back up! It's critical, we need it now!" IT Manager: "We have been telling you for four years that this server is out of warranty, is likely to fail, and isn't being backed up. You were supposed to move all of this to AWS four years ago." Dev: "Can't you just shove this onto one of your spare servers, or fix this one?" IT Manager: "We have told you, there are no parts to fix this one, and we don't HAVE spare servers." Dev: "Just fix it, I don't care how. And no, we aren't buying a new server or migrating to AWS."*edit* We are now on the 3rd Dev QA server failure in two weeks. All hardware. All out of warranty. And the fuckers refuse to listen to us.

neogeo0823 posted:If i did then at least if get a response. Most recent prospect was a referral for a job via a guy who would be my co-worker if i got hired. Per his instructions, called his boss, had a conversation, he seemed really eager to move the process along. Per the manager's instructions, emailed him my resume and cover letter, applied to company via their website, and waited. Got an email back saying basically "ok, got everything. I just need some paperwork from hr and I'll call you to set up the interview." I responded back with basically a "great! Looking forward to hearing from you!" and then... Silence. Almost a week later, i email him a simple "hey, looking to follow up with you on this" sort of email. Silence. That was Monday. Yesterday i got an automated email from the company saying "here's a job opening you might be interested in!" with the same job i already applied to. HR is sometimes jealous of their role as interview gatekeepers.
