This year I'm working 12 hour shifts on the 24-26th of december. Most people would probably be upset at working christmas, but I think it's great. Little to do, can study for my certs, and get double pay.

23, single, no kids. I'd rather take the shift and let the people with families have it off, and as a bonus I make bank.

Some of my users use E for Eyes and I for Ice.

Migishu posted:Worked with someone who was allergic to milk. I felt sorry for him. Absolute wonderful guy to work with, can't even enjoy chocolate. Wait, did your coworker not know that he was allergic, or didnt he realise that cheese contains milk? Willingly doing something like that is grounds for being tossed out a window, and we're on the 6th floor.

Sylink posted:Stop being pussies who are allergic to everything, its only reinforcing the image of a frail deathly white IT nerd who hates you. Oh sorry, I forgot to hit the not-allergic switch this morning. How silly of me. You do realise that there is gently caress all to be done if you are allergic to something, right? And that it can be fatal?

I'm thinking about starting to study next fall, or possibly the year after. Then again, I can study for free and the government pays me a small amount ($700/month or so) as long as I'm enrolled in classes. Thinking of picking a 3 year buissness degree, 5 years feels like too long without a decent wage and I'd rather not be a tech when I'm 50. At that point I probably have kids and the value of being able to take a half day cant really be measured in cash.

 I cant print! what error is it? It just does not print! Ok, can you print a testpage? (ends up guiding him) ok, that worked. Then the printer is functional. What application are you printing from? Citrix! (We have thousands of users connected via various citrix or VPN solutions) You are using another application via citrix, I need the name of that application.*** Has to convince him that yes, I know what citrix is, and I still need an application name *** Oh, it's <Application> What is your username? xxxxxxxxxxx That's too long, are you certain about it? It should be 8 digits. I'm sure.*** Cant find him, searching for his lastname in AD reveals no hits *** I'd like to connect to your PC, is that fine? OK, fine.He is a contractor. He is using one of our PCs, and have a citrix connection to the contracting firm, which is using the same application we do internally. He shouldn't be calling us at all. Why does this bother me so much?

Our password site tells user they must have 3 of 4 of the following; capital letter, non-capital letter, number and special sign. Special signs do not work.

Ganon posted:So does anyone have a realistic backup career in mind if one day you say gently caress it and want out? I was reading about truck driving schools today 1 year of savings, enough to live at my current rate, keep my car etc without any additional income. I work via a recruitment firm, so even if my current contract would be terminated I still draw a salary for 2 months. Chances are my consultant company wouldn't lay me off even if the client did, so they'd pay my salary while sending me on interviews. If I did get laid off I'd sell the car and start studying, I'd get about $700/month. On top of getting rid of the car and reducing some other frivolous expenses I could live on my savings for about 3 years, enough to get a degree.

The foreign service sounds like a dream career but it's so competitive.

Jibo posted:Are lowly help desk agents allowed here? No one will stop you. There is a call center thread in BFC if you want to know why you should take up alcoholism sooner rather then later. My strangest call must have been the lieutenant from the air force asking if they could borrow the fiber connection we have at one of our remote sites. Apparently our test track is next to (or inside) the area they use for exercises. At first I thought it was a prank call but the guy was serious, the contact details included a mail adress which is only used by the military.

Lum posted:To be fair if one work order takes longer than she expected it to, then she's going to submit the next one nice and early to try and get it done on time. If you submit a massive loving workorder and give it a deadline of 3 hours, that's not happening. And pestering me 3 hours later with "it's a deadline!" isnt going to win you any points.

Why on loving earth would you name your applications a a random 4 letter combination, and then decide that two different applications should be named exactly the same with one having an I and one having an Y? Before anyone starts with using phonetic, I'm not using english, and very few know of the proper phonetic alphabet. The english speaking ones use I for Ice and E for Eyes.
