Moving on.Helushune posted:Looks like our primary virtual host at our colo keeled over today. I sent a force reboot but it's not coming back. To make things better, they're doing heavy construction in Seattle, shut down a main road, and are redirecting traffic all by where I need to go. I'm not exaggerating when I say it'll probably add about two hours on to the commute down there. I continue to be living proof that Murphy's Law is real. You dudes don't have anybody local on site at your colo? Might be worth it to have a weekly rotation or something for these exact reasons.

I will gladly breathe anyones farts. However, I will not breathe the toner that's all over the inside of one of our old printers. I have quite enjoyed not having cancer so far.

I know i'm late to the conversation, but as a self admitted introvert, I kinda get how people don't like responding in the halls. That said, saying "hiya" in response to "Hi" or "yeah you" in response to "you alright?" is pretty easy to get used to and requires absolutely no thought process. But you shouldn't get to worked up over it in either case.

So we're inordinately nice and fuzzy at this new job, and we do a full backup of everybody's local data, because people will not stop using PSTs. (that's a whole different thing.) Anyway, we're switching from Symantec to Mirage, and I set up a quick push to throw the new client on everybody's PC on their next reboot two weeks ago. It's been a nice trickle in, except for these five retards that won't reboot. I've been e-mailing them every other day (soon to be every day) with strongly-worded messages about how they need to reboot or they're not going to get backed up, and nada. Our old backup solution goes offline on Friday and these chucklefucks are severely pissing me off. It takes 30 loving seconds, we don't use roaming profiles or anything. My current draft of the next message they're getting: “If you do not reboot by close of business today, your computer will not be backed up. In the event your computer suffers a hardware failure, is damaged or lost, all your data will be unrecoverable. This will include your e-mail archives, your locally stored documents and your locally stored pictures. There will be no alternative or backup method for data restoration unless you reboot as soon as possible. Also I hate you, and I may dban your system for fun.”

My boss wants me to be updated on everything he's working on since I am basically taking over most of what he does since we're all kinda taking one step up the ladder. His approach is basically for me to sit on a god damned open line with him all day. I've been listening to him call other people for half an hour. I'm just sitting on mute, listening to him call people to tell them to contact me about ongoing issues. Ostensibly we're on this call to discuss the issues but oh my lord what a waste of everyone's time.

Make sure that there's some sort of affirmation that they've read this, or CC their managers. Also, make sure that they're not out sick or something!

Today's piss boiler: Not using a $1m Data Warehouse to aggregate data and trying to make a system that is already overloaded do further processing of data that the Data Warehouse will take a copy off. "Oh but we are busy" the owners of that system say. Well gently caress you so am I.

Volmarias posted:This. Make sure that there's some sort of affirmation that they've read this, or CC their managers. Send their manager an email summarizing the dates that you've previously sent out notice. Be politic: "I know everyone's really busy", "PTO", "Training", whatever. "A needs to get done or else B will occur with C consequences". Request acknowledgement. Resend it every two business hours for the next 24 hours. No response? Escalate further, and send it to the manager's manager. You will only have to send that once, twice if the manager's manager is out of office.

We're incredibly small (I'm one of two FTEs in IT), only have a quarter rack, and my department refuses to let me pay for remote hands despite our aging servers. To them, having me go down there for two hours of overtime and comping my mileage + parking is better than paying $5/mo or whatever it is for remote hands.
