I was on a call with a client today, and so was my partner. he's usually just riding shotgun to answer any major financial questions [he's the money], and it was going great. client was eating lunch, fairly quietly, was proceeding nicely. skype call, so you can tell who's making noise.

massive toilet flush from the partner's side. just like his phone was in the toilet bowl levels of clarity and loudness.

there was about 10 seconds of silence, and the client just bursts out laughing and laughing and my partner is like "wait what, i missed it, sorry i was on mute"

this is awesome lol

i got a new job recently, and last week i had to take an hour long hippa training. why i need hippa training is sort of nebulous in the first place but anyway this 'training' consisted of me sitting alone in a so-called collaboration space, watching a poorly compressed recording of a webx meeting. complete with beeps and boops, interruptions, and the occasional 500% volume blasts from the presenters mic. sweet.

one of my coworkers doesnt have a degree and i think hes real insecure about it. he uses so many technical terms when not necessary at all. some favorites i hear just about every day are 'leverage', 'container', 'regression', 'a utility i wrote' ..... :fuckoff:

like eg rather than write a query that joined tables x y z, he leveraged the poo table, 'essentially a container for chome data', to pull this report which aggregates dicks and lomarfs.

i mean there is a place for that but not 24/7

4) We discovered that a server, managed by IBM, had been '# chmod 777 -R /'ed. The entire system was 777. So we got them on a call, one of those ones where it says peoples name when they join and drop. So we had us (the auditors) the people from the company and IBM on the call. We start walking them through the finding, hear someone say 'are you loving kidding me, who loving-' "John Smith, IBM has left the call"
