pixaal posted:Of course sunk cost we bought this as a 12 year investment because previous IT manager said it would be good for 12 years so it can't be replaced until then make it work, and make it work well until then Christ. We have a poo poo ton of computer carts (I work at a hospital, it's for the computers on wheels) that are busted and don't have parts to replace them. They're no longer under warranty and we don't have any kind of servicing plan for them, so they cost way too much to have them serviced. We've since bought newer, better carts, but we can't get rid of these old carts because they said that they have a 15 year lifetime (where they came up with that number, I have no idea). So, they're currently taking up a ton of storage area in empty rooms and have to get shuffled around every so often when they decide they need to use the room.

Sickening posted:The thought process of someone like that bugs the poo poo out of me. It takes more effort to email 5 different groups separately than going to one single location. The amount of effort people put into doing everything but what policy dictates is just loving mystifying. You've just described a good portion of my end users. They'll call all 5 techs desk phones as well as the directors' and leave messages for them before they'll even attempt to open a ticket. "Because it takes too long to open a ticket". It takes maybe 5 minutes. It probably took them about 1-2 minutes per person that they called, waited for VM to pick up and leave them a message.

I don't have a headset, so my version of this is join, mute and turn the speakerphone volume all the way down then either continue working or watch YouTube videos if it's slow.

22 Eargesplitten posted:Dark beers are the best, although maybe not in Summer. Left Hand’s Winter seasonal Fade to Black is fantastic, as is New Belgium’s Clutch special release. It’s really hard to find, though. It had been a while since I'd had a dark beer, so I decided to try one from Belching Beaver. I bought a 6pack of the Peanut Butter Milk Stout and split it with my brother. It was quite good. Altamont Beer Works (one of my favorite local brewers) also has a really good Stout called Something New. It's also one of the few beers that they've been bottling and distributing. I managed to find it at Total Wine.

DelphiAegis posted:Sounds like you need to stop making coffee for everyone else and let the place burn to the ground due to lack of caffeine. This. Do what I did and buy your own coffee maker and keep it at your desk. This reminds me, it's been ages since I've gone to my favorite coffee spot (because I no longer live there and is quite a distance). If anyone is in the Santa Clara, CA area, do yourself a favor and check out Chromatic Coffee. It's amazing.

Also, if you guys are interested in roasting your own coffee, I'm a big fan of Sweet Marias. Good coffee and the owner seems like a good dude. He likes to visit the coffee farmers and often post pics of his excursions.

Potato Salad posted:threaten them with a good time, and give them a day to save face It's possible they're telling the truth. I've ordered stuff, FedEx claims it was delivered even though it hasn't, only for it to show up days later (This is on different occasions and different cities, so it's not just one driver doing this). I once got a nice Code Keyboard for free due to that. If given the option of shipping, I'll gladly pay extra to use anyone but FedEx. gently caress FedEx.

Sickening posted:This. If this person had sso for everything and their password never expired, this stuff would almost disappear. You would think so, except that we have SSO at the hospitals I support and the amount of people that don't know how to use it (They're trained on using it during orientation and get a printout 'cheatsheet' on how to use it) or outright refuse to use it is staggering. Granted, their passwords do expire, but I have no control over that. The docs & nurses are pretty good about using it as that enables them to badge in/out of WoWs & desktops, it's more the office workers & admitting folks that do that.

Thanks Ants posted:The nurse is already issued with a badge, it should be a smartcard, everything else should be SSO'd to that account They're issued a badge, then during orientation they enroll the badge, along with their credentials for their various programs. Or at least that's how it's supposed to go. I'm not sure if HR/Education depts are doing their jobs or not. I'm guessing not, since there's plenty of folks I've had to help enroll their badge & creds. I do notice that our badging system isn't as nice as Kaiser. They can walk up and it'll detect them and log them in. If they walk away, it locks the workstation. Ours, you have to tap the badge against a reader to log in/lock workstation.

xzzy posted:Nurses don't get A badge, they get a stack of them and each one permits access to a different unit or a secure area within a unit. Or a device in a unit. Depends on the hospital I guess. At one I work at, they just gave a single badge. At another, they give 2. They're both basically the same, only one is printed in portrait, the other landscape. They also gave us some 'shortcut' cards that explain some of the acronyms & codes they use (which apparently aren't yet standardized across all of the hospitals in their network).
