I should read this thread more often, I thought Dick Trauma had disappeared from the ticket thread. Congrats on your new job Dick! I'm glad to see you in a new position, one that you (hopefully) deserve and will (hopefully) keep for many years.

poo poo not pissing me off: my vacation About the wfh stuff, I have 2 days that I can work from home each week, but my boss and I have a mutual understanding that I'll float my wfh days for whenever I need them. Usually when I'm expecting a package to be delivered or something. That and Christmas. Best time to wfh since nothing is happening. I guess I just like going into the office v  v

Crowley posted:I bring lunch to work every single day. It's far easier for me to control my calorie intake by (politely) refusing anything people bring into the office and only eat what I bring. I allow myself 2 cheat days (non-home food prepared days) during the week: Friday and one day on the weekend. Otherwise I'm always making my own food at home. Eating out gets expensive after a while.

topenga posted:IBM does it. Better machines than full time developers, even. Don't you want to be like IBM? Every one wants to be like IBM. Fun thing. When I worked for IBM in the past, they were suppose to give me an older laptop to work on, but I ended up getting a new one because they had run out of machines to hand out. The laptop I got was suppose to go to someone else. Luckily they didn't mind. Guy was cool. It does feel weird, though, getting a brand new machine on your first week of the job.

My company uses IE9 (soon to be 11) by default. We only use Firefox, strictly, for maybe 1 or 2 other applications, and that's it. Everything else is IE or bust. That doesn't stop people from openly installing Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or any other browser, and then accidentally making it the default browser, and them screaming "WHY DOES THIS NOT WORK THIS IS AFFECTING PRODUCTION!!!" I understand the reason, and why he would need to find a justification. If the environment doesn't need Chrome, and your IT policies say otherwise, then there's no need for it.

Plus he's like the IT Buddha - nothing can crack his serenity (I've tried, but the fucker pisses me off instead). To be fair I do like helping people. There are some people I'll help no problem, I just don't want to make a habit of it. I don't want, say, my landlord, or when I meet new people, to be asking me to fix their computer. Luckily, there's enough nerds out there nowadays that almost everyone knows someone who can fix something.

I've told him "update it with all the information the Helpdesk needs to fix the issue themselves, then route it back", but nope, he wants to take care of all the precious little babies all by himself. Over half the tickets we're investigating root causes for are assigned to him. There are other tickets that need to be handled for fucks sake.

I've been working for my company for 5 years. I'm thinking it's about time to move, but oh god I'm overly paranoid of things going horribly wrong. I'm not in a great financial situation either, so if something does go wrong then I'm hosed. Someone I know may have a job lined up for me if I do decide. Decent pay, no having to do night shift, and on call once a month. Sounds great, but again, no backup plan if it goes south.

I walked into a job interview once for a company that basically spidered company websites, put their company up on some advertising front for a year, then at the end of the year, contacted accounting and was like "Hey, we've been advertising your company on our website but your 'subscription' is running out, would you like to continue advertising with us for $400/yr?" Was shady as poo poo and looked like the office could be closed out and disappear overnight. They wanted me to work for them, I told them "yeah I'm not comfortable with this, later".

Westie posted:Is wanting to fall asleep for the entire day an acceptable use of work time? I don't get this place. There's something about it that just makes me want to sleep. When I get to work I'm full of energy, when I leave I'm full of energy, but this place... it just wants to make me sleep. All day loving long. This happens to me too, but for me it's because I fall asleep in temperature controlled environments. Air conditioning puts me to sleep. No matter where I am. As long as I'm in a stationary position for an extended period of time.

QuiteEasilyDone posted:It wasn't an office wide advisory, it was a direct message from our HR VP to cut it out. We call her "The Reaper" because she never gets involved in most things here unless someone's getting fired or we're encroaching on a terminable offense. Get the approvals again and e-mail her back. She's just made this policy up right there and then and told you to stop it. If she makes a fuss, e-mail it to her boss and tell her the policy is absolute bs. If everything is fine with the building code, and everything is fine with other company policies, and she feels it could be used as a weapon, start asking if you should leave other poo poo at home because it could be used as a weapon. I could certainly use my work laptop, or monitor, for example, as a weapon. What about my water bottle, or my mug, or a pen? This is a stupid policy made up by some stupid higher up because she feels inconvenienced for some stupid reason. Call her out on her bs.

So I mentioned to my manager if they could try to not scheduled meetings before I start as it makes it hard for me to get to them, and they were all cool with it. So instead they scheduled a 1hr meeting with a whole bunch of people at a time where I have another 1hr meeting. For fucks sake.

And I have no restore points because I'm goddamn retarded. And before anyone asks, there are no corrupted profiles in the list. There are only 4: 3 system, and mine.

Why the gently caress does Microsoft's media creation tool ONLY let you download the type of OS generation you currently have? My x64 backup of the install for Win8 went awol, so I had to download it on my tablet... Which is x86 I only found out after installing it that the MCT created the x86 boot disk and there's no way to loving download the x64 version without going to dodgy sites. I'm currently using my work laptop to download it, and I'll be drat near lucky if ITSec don't message me on Monday asking why I was using unencrypted USB devices on our machines. I'm sorry, I know this is a personal home issue, but this is something really pissing me off. For fucks sake Microsoft, this is the stupidest poo poo. Get your shut together ffs.
