Getting a cold and I feel like shit, not sure why I am still at work.
(came in early to help a co-worker get a loaner laptop)
I had someone try to get me to come in to unblock Netflix the last snow storm.
I have a whole selection of choice words for that kind of ticket - in multiple languages no less.
I live an hour away with no traffic...and there is always traffic....AND it was a snowstorm. I'm also never unblocking Netflix. I wouldn't block someone who is smart enough to set up their own media server etc, as far as I'm concerned you earned it at that point.

Guy probably making 3x my salary: "I want to watch some movies. No one is working here."
Me: Go home?
Guy: I have to be here
Me: You need to be there watching Netflix?
Guy: ...
Me: ...
Guy: Alright I'll ask management
Me: Ok cool.
Management: No. -
Funny product that shows up in the subject line of many spam emails: "New Viagra Soft!!!"
Not sure if that's a good name for such a product, even if it is a chewable...

@wirestyle22 /me tunnels out via a port 80 proxy, aren't you glad your users aren't so quick with picking up how to use tech?

Trying to meet up with @Francesco-Provino who just landed.

Sitting at my desk, contemplating storage options/planning (among other work-related things), snacking on walnuts and pitted dates.

Discussing the sorry state of IT training.

What does TP normally cost in the US? I never look at the price. But I just bought a ten pack of it here in Italy and it was $1.30.
That seems insanely cheap.
-
@scottalanmiller That is indeed insanely cheap.

The rolls are not jumbo, but it is the super soft extra quilted stuff. I can't only be so specific when requesting it here, I have some Italian but certainly not "differentiate between toilet paper types" level of Italian, so they only sell me the most expensive stuff at the tabacchi.
