Fortis posted:If in four years I'm still at the company where I work, barring some kind of miracle making it an ideal place to work, I hosed up. I've already been there way too long. The way I am reading this, you are now the boss of IT. How about those raises for your team members that you want to keep? I would guess you are in a position to go bat for them now. If that fails, ask the IT director for a job.

Imagine the hell that person would raise if the cleaning staff took something that they thought weren't trash and put it on his/her desk. I bet the person would not be happy that they were erring on the side of caution then.

Don't use alcohol to comfort yourself, get therapy instead. Or a friend to talk to. Find a place to vent that is not random people on a comedy forum (but keep posting here anyway). Good luck, both with finding a new job and with your kids.

Your manager is probably making a lot of money off the situation, and can always quit if he/she can't handle it anymore. It really is not your problem. The company don't care about you, they only care about the work that has to be done. If it's you or someone else, don't care, go with the cheapest one that won't make a fuzz about being worked to death. Good luck finding somewhere to live and a new job!

And ice is transparent, so even the fiber cables will work!

You can get soundabsorbing pictures that might be a good idea. Whatever you do for soundproofing, make sure you consider fire safety. Foam burns REALLY well, and you are double screwed if you muffle out the fire alarm.

D. Ebdrup posted:From the sounds of it, it doesn't sound like it's cost your employer much - so it seems as though they've gotten what they paid for? Larches, you should put that somewhere in the documentation where the next sucker will see it. You did great with what you had, which turned out to be a lot of liquid poo poo and some polish.

Rorac posted:I've always thought some form of pictogram would be ideal. Forget labeling what the danger is, that might make it more difficult for any sort of translation. If you seal something like that with multiple doors (and why wouldn't you?), having something like a picture of a human body nearby a smaller skeleton on the first door, and increasing the size of the skeleton relative to the person (with the final door being perhaps having just the skeleton) as a sort of symbolic "you are approaching danger/death", well that seems reasonably universal. If they're going to bust open that last door, then no warning you could've put down likely would've stopped them; you did your due diligence. So in the future, they read the other way. So first door means you can turn your dead child back into a living adult, and the further in you go, you can bring older people back to life. Symbolism depends on culture as well. A skeleton might not mean death either, we have no way of knowing. Burying it deep somewhere either stable or somewhere that is being pushed down into the planet by tectonic plates is probably better.

Knormal posted:In a big PC refresh we did about a decade ago we got two PCs with the same MAC. Fortunately they ended up on opposite ends of the state and never ended up on the same subnet, so it never caused any technical issues, but man did that confuse us for a while until we confirmed that they were in fact different machines. I thought that MAC were unique? A part of it is the manufacturer and the rest can be compared to the serial number?

My guess would be fear of retaliation. If your company takes legal action against Dell, good luck getting any support afterwards. That might be illegal, but do you really think they care when they are already harassing people?

SEKCobra posted:While I tend to agree, the only way up for me would be management and I don't want that. It woulf probably be less actual work, but I hate the versions I have seen so far. I don't want to be responsible for everyone's failings, I'll own my own and that's it. That might make you a good manager... Maybe.

Agrikk posted:I received a cold-call for a crypto startup and the rep breathlessly exclaimed that I was a lucky candidate under consideration. When asked what my salary requirement was I told him $500,000 in cash, non-sequential unmarked bills, delivered up front in a green duffel bag. It was critical that the duffel bag was green. So one of those "Remove all green M&Ms" for artists. If the duffel bag is not green, something will be wrong with the bills. Smart!
