poo poo pissing me off. Proposal to check and remove domain admin from normal user accounts denied again. Reason: unnecessary extra work. besides we have antivirus.  I even gave them a script to check for every normal account that has domain admin rights. All that should have been done is create a second account with domain admin. That is only used when using it for work that requires domain admin access. I've even showed them how I do it. and the security risks that domain admin brings with it.

CenturyLink was no-show for a second time. They marked it as installed AGAIN. A installer never set foot on the property at any time. Hell there isn't even a line to the building yet. I give up.... I really do.

Well there definitely wouldn't be very good values, because there isn't even a line to the building yet! They are supposed to show up again today. Not holding my breath. Do they make 21 mile long Ethernet patch cords? Because at this point that looks like the only way we are going to get service.

I know the endpoint on the other end of the T1 but i have no idea where the demarcs are for this poo poo. We havent routed over this T1 since we bought a 30 mbps evpl link over our fiber line. I had no idea we were even paying for an active T1 so somebody is gonna be happy in the business department next week.

Nope, 100% guarantee this is not the case. IT is it's own island here, a red-headed stepchild of the business department. There is not a single higher up that would understand, let alone interfere with T1 lines. My predecessor sucked at this job and left zero documentation for anything. It's so much more likely that this slipped under his radar. There are two other T1 lines that have been deactivated, but are still plugged in to the router. If anything the old MSP probably convinced him to keep it in place for a month and nobody wrote that down, so everybody forgot it was there and we've been paying ever since.

Not pissing me off: Long vacations are the best. Am 2500 miles into a 5000 mile road trip and have been away from my desk for almost a week and a half. And won't be back for another two. The best part is coming out of some rural area every other day and when my phone gets a signal seeing the unread emails badge grow by 200. Nope, not gonna peek, no one can force me! My coworkers are good at their job so I'm sure everything's fine, but I haven't had a proper vacation in years and this is a weird place to be.

At some point I'm going to have fire our new-ish helpdesk guy. He's an idiot. After people leave, we archive the mailbox to a PST and then burn it to a DVD in case someone needs it later. Who's been doing ONLY the inbox? New guy. He's also not very careful when creating email forwards. Made one, spelled the last name wrong, wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't the company's owners kid/last name.

The joke is that I'm currently a senior VP and have been a manager of some sort for the last 17 years. They would've seen that if they'd read my resume. Not that I think I'm better than a desktop engineer, just that with my experience it would seem to be a big step backward and significantly less pay.

"Thoughts?" This word makes me crazy and instantly brings out the snark in me. "Hey Agrikk, you should work on X unrelated thing to your customers, position or job description. Thoughts?" Yeah, here's a thought: No. Here's another thought: Go gently caress yourself. Here's a third and fourth thought: Happy Friday, bitches. I'm on PTO for the next week.

Relevant to the recurring PTO discussions: I'm taking two weeks off starting next Wednesday. This is the first time in 3 or 4 years that I've been able to take that amount of time off in one go. The difference in attitude about vacation at $currentJob vs $oldJob is striking. Whenever I mention my upcoming vacation at $currentJob, the reaction is always positive "That great! Have fun! Don't worry about this deadline, we'll move it to accommodate you!" Whenever I took any time off, even if it was just a single day the reaction was always "What are we going to do? How will this thing get done on time? I'm going to need you to be available by phone." Joke's on $oldJob though, since I quit and moved 400 miles last fall.

Agrikk posted:"Thoughts?" Relevant to this, people using "no?" as shorthand for "is this correct?" - e.g. "That build deployed yesterday, no?". I can't explain why it grates so much, but it does.
