No, my calling in to report the outage won't make them fix it faster, they started waking VPs up at 3am." This was always the most infuriating part of working in IT. The largest telecom company in the world does not give a poo poo about a small business in rural Alabama, please stop trying to get me to bully them into fixing their multi-million dollar outage faster.

Speaking of which, I was just in Hoover and why do they have a bomb squad?

Karens always think they get better/faster service if the complain more loudly to people who not only can't do anything about the problem, but also don't give a poo poo. And are certain to note who the Karens are and go out of their way to make their experience miserable next time. They just never figure out why they have sub-par experiences.

TWBalls posted:Does this place not have any security cameras (I assume not if people are just pilfering from others desks)? Was your co-worker in the dark about this, because why the gently caress would they just give out a customized laptop like that? And hell yes I'd be naming names, because goddamn, I've worked fast food with more trustworthy people. We do not have internal security cameras except the one in the corridor outside the storage rooms and the one in the lobby. (And the one inside the server room that I set up, but don't tell HR about that one.) Everything else is outside. And yes, cow orker was in the dark and the laptop for NewHire is externally the same as our standard. Honest mistake on his part. Meanwhile the plot has not just thickened, it has positively gelatinized. The new wireless keyboard for NewHire arrived yesterday and was deployed that afternoon. I joked with the minion that we may want to get a cable lock to attach it to the desk. This morning, I'm over in the area and I note with some concern that the keyboard is not at the desk. I move on and do the things I'm there to do when a few minutes later I hear "What exactly do you mean: 'not again'?!" come from a nearby conference room. Out come Newhire and his boss and they walk to the bathroom. Yeah. Heavy suspicion is on a person we will call Sam Suspect, who was one of the internal contenders for the role before they headhunted NewGuy, and the only reason they haven't hauled him before HR yet is according to his boss, he left work early yesterday for a dental appt and is out sick today dealing with the aftermath.

Did no one go into that bathroom after he left yesterday? And what dental appointments do you go to that you're laid out the day after? He's probably laying low hoping he evades suspicion.

I had a few days off for wisdom teeth as well because they did four in one go under general anaesthetic. The days off are mainly so you can come back nicely from the anaesthetic, and watch what you're eating because they scare you shitless about dry socket.

Just before I turned 18 I went in for a filling in a tooth, the dentist noticed a pinhole in my rear-most lower molar, x-rayed it, learned it was hollow. About 30 minutes into trying to pull it I heard a sharp crack noise and assumed it was out. It was not. It had shattered and he then had to use a scaplel to peel back my gums enough to pull out each root individually. It took another three hours to get it done. I was out of school for a full week because of how loopy the painkillers made me.

The dentist thing could be legit. I had to have an emergency root canal a few years ago and that had me in rough shape for a solid 2 days. If it's a basic cleaning or filling and they're using it as an excuse, then lol gently caress that guy. "I'm gonna take this USB out of a random server for 'security'" got shitcanned already, right? Seems like a similar cognitive capacity

I mean, it's HIPAA, I don't think HR is even allowed to ask. If they have a nice dentist who'll write them a nice three-day weekend note... Meanwhile, I'm sure you mean an unauthorized USB Mass Storage Device ("thumbdrive") and yeah. I don't work there anymore, let alone him... sfwarlock fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Mar 9, 2024 |

I got my wisdom teeth removed when I was in high school, general anesthesia as well. 2 days later I was playing soccer and went up for a header. Not my brightest moment.

Same, but submitted at 5 am my time. Wasn't even the user who submitted the request following up, but some helpdesk person asking when I'd approve it.

Several dozen calls came in this morning... Apparently all of the Avaya phone systems we support came with 10 years of DST time changes pre-programmed into them. No one ever bothered to really look at this, because why would you? 10 years is basically forever. That 10 years started counting on 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzDqvxiEZ4k
