I worked at a place that had "and" in the name so they named one of the conference rooms "and." It could be combined with other rooms to form a bigger room. Nothing confusing about that, no siree.

I'm still bitter that my suggestion a few years ago to name the conference rooms after mental asylums was shot down.

Don't feel bad. I could never get any traction on naming the Global NOC (with big War Games style projection displays) the Panopticon.

It will catch on, everyone will call it that, but it doesn't make your company look like sociopaths when they give tours and poo poo

If you have two rooms that can be split with a divider, you should declare the divider to be a room named U+200B

I worked for a company outside of Philly who named all of the conference rooms after Philly landmarks. In addition to Liberty Bell and Independence Hall we had rooms named Pat's and Geno's, appropriately across the hall from each other. It made me chuckle.

My last role in IT was in a small business three years ago without any certs. Getting back into IT, I've got my A+ and should have my Network+ soon. I've been offered a seasonal call-center gig that doesn't pay well but would give me my first real experience to handling tickets. How do seasonal gigs like this look on a resume?

Anything is better than nothing, and it's not the worst way to gain some IT experience. if the fact that it's a call center doesn't kill any interest you have in this as a career at any rate.

I'm sad though, I suggested we name the new boardroom "Viagra". The current boardroom is named "House of Lies"

The Honda factories in Ohio have are huge and have tons of conference rooms. One of the themes they use is models: Civic, CRV, S2000. I think they've been lucky enough not to end up with a room named after a vehicle notorious for rollovers or exploding gas tanks.

Of course, the largest conference room is the A380, and most of the other conference rooms are named for size appropriate aircraft.

Anyone else feel weird about sharing who they work with in certain places? Like I have never shared it here since I started the job but its on my LinkedIn cause thats professional or whatever. Like the place I work for doesn't police that like other companies really, but the nature of the work I don't want to cause any association with me personally. Its hard to say what our conference rooms are named after without giving it away.

Specific floors have different themes. One floor is painters, one mountains, others seemingly random and unconnected from one another but probably linked by some literary reference. Not the worst way to do it, though honestly I can never remember which rooms are on which floors.

I worked for a small company that names all of their servers after Simpsons characters. And it was funny until I couldn't remember if the service that failed was running on Milhouse or Frink. That's when I switched all the names over to something normal and left the old aliases in DNS just in case. deedee megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Oct 19, 2017 |

our meeting rooms are named after animals. aquatic poo poo on the ground floor, land animals on the first floor, birds on the second floor. after that, there are no names and no number so you refer to them as "the room near the elevator in the C-wing with the TV"
