My boss has just volunteered to be my personal trainer. So now I get to workout daily with him. Joy.

On the plus side, it's probably a good thing since he's built like a tank and must know SOMETHING about staying fit. Also it'll be good to have somebody put my feet to fire when I start slacking. I tried moving a server today out of of one rack into another and by God I could barely lift the dang thing. It's just a DL380! It shouldn't be that heavy to me.

Pah. I could bench 10 DL380s.

This is a true mark of a geek, right here. Not "How many plates cand you press?" but how many "DL380s can you bench?" This is freaking brilliant! I should start measuring my progress via server models.

Start with the 360s and work my way up. Who knows? Maybe one day...a 570!

I can't help it if I'm a skinny, delicate flower.

Quoted with a slight modification. =)

I need a new signature picture... anyone willing to help?

I suggest you start with a DL 140 without the RAID controller.

The help(less) desk just got chewed out by upper management for leaving user passwords in the notes section of each ticket. So they finally removed the password field, which is a good thing, as nobody really needs to know what a user's password is. If we did we'd call them up anyways and get it over the phone. About five minutes ago I get a trouble ticket asking to see if somebody's exchange account is disabled. What do they include in the clear text notes? The user's full name, home phone number, home address and fucking SSN!

Yeah, they're in trouble again. And yes, I edited that information out. Dumbasses.

Jesus!

That kind of shit should get someone CANNED.

Canned, tarred, feathered, and forced to have a small explosive device inserted into their winky. Hey, when it blew they wouldn't know if they where cumming or going!

we have hello as a standard password for each new user, After two months since I started here i did a liitle investigation on the password policy.
Whole departments were changing their password to hello1, hello2 and so on. I advised them to change that, using the whole blah blah about security. The month after they were on hello3 and i put in a new password policy. Minimum of 8 characters and at least 2 numbers. They hate me now.

At my last job we had in place a password policy of a minimum of 6 characters, 2 numbers, at least 1 capital and at least 1 special character. Passwords expired every 6 weeks and the system remembered the last 10.

The users hated us, too.

Sounds to me like there were probably a lot of monitors with post it notes with their password written on it.
