Feelin' real good about having gone with an AMD chip when I built my gaming computer two years ago :shepface:

Everyone having to deal with this has my sympathies. I really and truly mean that.

Anything that would make life easier for people in general is too much like socialism, for these people. "I had to suffer, so so should everyone else!"

And yet I can't help this feeling that the dipshit director will try to throw Larches under the bus somehow. How dare he not use his psychic powers to see the future and preemptively disable the account!

Just read all this in the last few days. Only one question so far.

Larches. What happened with the :yotj:? You had an offer and then :confused:.

He's been chained to a freshly installed overhead rail at the school, like that bit from the ending of Breaking Bad. It fixes the PC Load Letter or else it gets the hose again!

A generator costs more money, though. Good luck squeezing it out of management.

Still more expensive than abusing UPS's and making it ITs problem. If management were known for being willing to spend money on necessary poo poo, the last thread would've been a third the size

People get my last name wrong all the time, but that's been the case since Elementary school. And if people aren't using my last name every day they tend to forget and get it wrong. My entire family has gotten used to being referred to one of the more common mispronunciations. If it's clear it's not malicious it's not really worth getting up in arms over.


That said when it is clearly malicious then I'll get annoyed.

:hfive: weird last name buddy. In the case of mine, it's even worse because the way people keep read-pronouncing it is how it used to be pronounced, before it changed at some point.

A call comes in. Printer is barking about low toner, but our vendor hasn't shown up with new cartridges. Not thinking, I tell the user to gently shake the toner cartridge.

A call comes in. There's toner everywhere, help.
I'd argue that's on them. The people who interpret "gently shake" as "flail that fucker like it owes you money" deserve what they get.
