It's real easy to justify having extra equipment on hand. You have to document the cost of downtime and time wasted on service engineers though.

I cannot deal with my company anymore. poo poo, crap, feces, and more poo poo just keeps getting dumped on my team. Had a meeting with one of the new interim bosses. Got a scolding for not having one helpdesk guy in the room at all times. I brought up that just last Wednesday I was told that having my team ask for tickets and not immediately respond to drop-ins and remoting into computers was deemed to impersonal. That because of our insistence on tickets we were deemed not "customer service" oriented enough and that we needed to get up with the user walk to their desk and take a look at the problem right then and there. Interim boss managed to stammer out something about having to walk a fine line before asking why morale seemed so low. These people are clueless and I cant get out of here soon enough.

when he asked why morale was low did you answer "Because of conversations like this one"

Specifically they want to know if you have student loans from college and are therefore desperate and can be easily hosed in both hiring and future salary negotiations since you can't afford to not have the job.

The ideal employee is someone who is good enough to get hired but not good enough to get hired away/find another job quickly, is married with kids but is the sole breadwinner, and has a college degree but loads of student debt.

Anti-Virus software. We're switching from Symantec endpoint protection 12 to Kaspersky endpoint security select. Well, first of all, my boss let our SEP license expire before we had purchased licensing for Kaspersky. Then, he went on vacation right after finalizing the order with Kaspersky so the email with the licensing info sat in his inbox until he returned. Now that we've got that all sorted out...Kaspersky wont install because it detects SEP as still being installed on the workstations. Kaspersky removes SEP as part of its own installation process, SEP is gone from add/remove programs, windows bitches about no AV software being installed, but still, Kaspersky fails during install because it is still somehow seeing SEP installed.
I've manually removed SEP, uninstalled it using Symantec's own tools (it leaves behind several hundred registry keys and a 150mb directory on the HD, yep, manually deleted all that. Tried Revo uninstaller too), but still loving Kaspersky somehow detects in. So now I'm stuck in some weird kind of AV limbo where I cant fully remove the old one from rougly 250 workstations and cant install the new one. I'm not even sure who to call and bitch out at this point.

ESET's SmartInstaller gets hung up on pretty much just the mention of 'Norton' or 'Symantec' in the registry. Its the only real complaint I have about the product.

Gaming laptops have a well deserved reputation thanks to Alienware but there are some pretty nondescript models out there. Personally I'm at almost 3 years on a Sager and couldn't be happier. I would advise anyone purchasing one that you be comfortable enough to disassemble and cleans fans/heat sink periodically, especially if you own pets. A tube of NT-H1 and a can of compressed air go a long way towards longevity.
