Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours.

I'm getting really sick of these ignorant assholes that think putting every goddamn phone conversation they take on speakerphone with cranked up volume is somehow acceptable practice in a cubicle environment.

I really don't get Speakerphone People. I NEVER have my office phone on speaker. Ever. And I work mostly by myself.

There's an SQL developer that's really starting to tighten my jaws and I'm trying to figure out a polite way of emailing my boss to let him know the reason why that particular box is having problems but "THE DEVELOPER IS A FAG AND HIS SHIT'S ALL RETARDED" isn't coming across as professional.

I think all you really need is some slight alternative wordings...

See? You just need to think outside the box a little more.

Speakerphone is disabled for us cubicle dwellers. It's enabled in the offices and meeting rooms.

We have speaker-phone capability in my new job, but luckily, everyone is polite enough not to use it. The new job is at a college, for a research team, so a lot of the other cubicles are being used by students or grads to study and... research. We do a good job of keeping to ourselves.

Oh screw you, Mr. Asshole Boss.

You tell me to troubleshoot something for which I don't even have a login, for a client I didn't know we had. And when I fail to do so, you tell me I "need to be brought up to speed on the technical side of things"?

Go to hell.

HOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHIT

I would have probably decked the motherfucker.

I hurriedly scheduled some work with a client off-site for this afternoon so I'm not hanging around the office now, tempting myself to say some shit that'll get me immediately fired or (even worse) brought up on assault charges.

I know it's only Tuesday but this whole goddamned week has been nothing but an endless parade of human failure and I'm the guy at the end of it all with the shit-scooper.

You're preaching to the choir.

The only thing that keeps me from becoming a serial killer is my distaste for manual labor.

No, I cannot restore the file you created this morning but accidentally corrupted the shit out of. Rumor has it, back up jobs are run nightly. It's a rumor that's been floating around for the better part of ten years now.

What, no volume shadow copies firing off at regular intervals?

Funny you should mention that. We've been dabbling in VSS on some of our machines and we're getting all kinds of whacky errors. I've read up on places that kick off VSS incs every 30 minutes but that's not gonna happen at this rate, so you're all just gonna have to sit tight and see if you can manage not having any major fuck ups until the next morning for a change.

History, however, is not in my favour.

Besides, if I'm able to fix their human errors for them every time, how will they ever learn?

Demosthenes · « **Reply #748 on:** May 10, 2010, 04:08:52 PM »

Every 30 minutes? Great Boris Yeltsin!

My normal policy is to fire one off at like 9:00 am and another at like 2:00 pm.

What about SAN snapshots? You guys use those at all?
