Actually, IT was the police for a lot of things there, simply because they had access to go everywhere. Those ticket bill numbers are departments. If your ID badge said you belonged to data entry (d10) and you showed your face in the admin area, you were suspended without pay for like a week. So, we enforced the clean desk policy, the "plants must be green" policy, the "binders must be labelled vertically with no more than 22 characters in size 14 font" policy, and, my favorite, the "bathroom breaks can't take longer than 15 minutes" policy. That last one netted me a very nice analogue stop watch from the company. Yes, I'm serious. If I wanted, I could watch someone go into the bathroom, click my stop watch, then report them for taking too long. Despite never reporting a single person, I almost always had that watch so I could time how long things were taking. It netted me a "You're a team player!" award, which I think I still have in storage, somewhere.

I was employed there from mid 94 to mid 98(ish), and it was my first IT job. I think when I was leaving, you could get a 32MB flash drive for around $120 or $150. Plus, the very few things that had USB were USB 1.11.0. Even JPGs strain to save at any decent rate on USB 1.1 1.0.

I will pull more of these out this morning and post them a little later. But, for now, I'll leave a bit of trivia:
-u00741 is me (duh, easiest to search on)
-u00499 was my boss. This guy taught me a healthy hatred of all idiots, and was what molded me for my evil reign of sys/net admin later on in life. He was what I became. I need to send him a "thank you" card or something.
-u00343 was the head of IT. He worked on ancient networks in the 70's, and kept working on them until the time I worked for him. He was like 60 at the time and a complete rear end in a top hat to everyone who didn't have two braincells to rub together. He told the CEO once that he couldn't find his rear end with both hands and a ballistic missle locked onto a transmitter in his colon. The CEO, for some reason, tried to have him fired at least two dozen times while I worked there.

Guess which ones tend to be the biggest pain to deal with? It isn't the hardware engineers or even the software engineers... It is the people who attended tech schools who now work in our call center.

My only guess is that they have to deal with people over the phone everyday that don't respect them...

At my first network job we were all on walkie talkie for dispatch. I was out smoking on my break when the receptionist for the company starts frantically looking for us...

"Bob or Nico, Bob or Nico, come in please"

"Go ahead, Diane"

"Yes, uh, the downstairs women's restroom is out of toilet paper."

<<pause while we both crack up off mic>>

"Uh Diane, IT stands for 'information technology' not 'instant toilet paper'. You have to talk to Operations on 4 about that."


For the rest of the time I worked there, we referred to ourselves internally as "Instant Toiletpaper".

I pushed her keyboard drawer down, as she had it jammed up against the underside of the desk.

Even better is when one of the jammed keys is causing Windows to beep frantically. I had one poor woman call me twice in an hour with the same damned beeping noise. She had the decency to be humiliated after the second time. Stuff lying on keyboards is another source of calls-that-will-get-someone-called-a-moron-eventually. I have a fantastic "bedside manner" when I'm making a desktop call, but I'm the IT manager (I'm the only full-timer in IT, and orders of magnitude better than the last guy) so I can get away with apply an icy stare while someone works out the inanity they've just committed.

To improve on an already wonderful support environment, my two problem users went in the first round of layoffs. One was the "email complainer" and "personal laptop" guy. His philosophy on email was pretty much that if he's hit send, they've read it and anything slower than that is a problem. The personal laptop was his wife's actually and it was dropped on my desk first thing one morning accompanied only by the words "fix it". The other "dearly departed" was a woman I wouldn't have invited to her own going-away party. She was a whiner and a project manager although often actually competent. But that didn't stop her from interrupting my lunch once to complain that her laptop had lost network connectivity. Turns out she had caps lock on, as was clearly indicated in the authentication dialog that had stumped her.

Thank loving God we don't lock accounts after repeated failures. I think we'd be ok at the new place, but my last job (major advertising office in San Francisco with an international reputation) was plagued with lockout tickets. Well, the holding company that owned us (one o the big three in advertising) was taking NO chances with Sarbannes-Oxley compliance so you needed two signatures for an ftp site and passwords were on a 90 rotation with no re-us; this lead to "lastname##" passwords. And people still forgot them regularly. To cap things off, the master directory in London was pushing stale data back to use. Stale data like account lock status and passwords... Once. A. Goddamned. Hour. (or so). Worse, there was a window when they'd actually catch the change so it'd work about half the time. And the window wasn't regular so we couldn't just only unlock accounts between 10 and 30 minutes past the hour (for example). That system drove users to profanity on a daily basis. And London didn't give a poo poo about the colonies so they took six months to do anything about it.

I respect some of the guys who run that place, but it's a loving clown college. Some guys I'd turf out, a few I'd give generous severance packages so they can recover from being massively burned out.

I love users who call in with a problem, explain it half assed and then call back to complain on how you got it wrong in the description of the ticket.

user says the following: The big monitor has a blue blob on the screen that won't go away. I think it needs to be checked out.

I type basically the same thing verbatim because trying to clear it up usually brings a call. But yet she calls again anyways. Clearly she wasn't paying attention as she thinks I'm someone else.

user: The last guy messed my ticket up. Its not a blue blob on the screen, the entire screen is blue! And I need you to resend it all, I got to put it on my daily progress report.

At least this time I actually got the name of the monitor out of her as before all she could tell me was the big one.

Things I have to put up daily within the small company I work for (remote tech support):

1) Explaining why not applying any windows updates ever (including server updates) to our customers (over 50 small companies) is a bad idea and will ultimately end in pain.

2) Explaining that having the same admin password and username at all the companies is a bad idea.

3) Explaining that having the same password for remote access to routers (sitting on port 80 accessible to the entire internet) is a bad idea.

4) Explaining that allowing users (solicitors/accountants/property developers) to have passwords of 'password' and 'letmein' is a bad idea, especially when these users have access to VPN's and Outlook Web Access.

5) Explaining that adding "Domain Users" to "Local Administrators" is a bad idea.

6) Getting shot down by my manager and head technician when I tell them they are being incompotent by keeping all the above going.

For those interested in the reason for no windows updates of any kind: "There is the potential to kill a machine" and "The machines are behind routers so they will all be OK". I poo poo you not.

User complaining that her new printer is giving her an error. I called HP and we need to send the printer back for repairs.

The problem? She refuses to send me the printer so I can send it in. Says "This is our main printer and I need it" I told her she could put a request to have the data run to other printers and her answer was "They are too slow". I told her if she doesnt send it in I cant fix it, and wouldnt she like to print slowly than not at all? She demanded to talk to my supervisor. Its gonna be a looong day...
