Happy Friday everyone, Coffee and reviewing tickets.
Got the On call this weekend, all memorial day weekend.Aren't you a lucky guy. I rotated off last week and it'll be another 2-3 months before the rotation comes back around.
well with one guy quitting, our rotations will probably move to every other week...
no word on if my Boss is even planning on going on call again any time soon.
He was out due to surgery, but has been fully recovered for the last 4 months.. hasn't gotten back into the rotation yet. -
Just finishing off some webhosting stuff and then going to head down the the pub and sit in the beer garden.. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Unless directly connected to a computer and not shared in any way, printers are about the worst things ever. Even in that circumstance they're suspect.

Very true.
We had one that used to be a network printer, but now apparently is a USB printer.
No one told me this so I've been trying to figure out the IP for the printer (from what I've know it to be 1 of 2.) only to find out, It wasn't plugged into the PC. -
this conversation just happened...
B: "how do you know it's not the same printer. It doesn't say 2 different printers."
m: "cause I can read, and it does, right there a line printer and a office printer...that's why there was 2 different tickets opened. "oh shit.. oops
How's your Friday going?

Haha I don't know 1 IT person who likes dealing with printers...

It's a Friday before a long weekend, about as flipping good as it can. . .

He obviously doesn't believe you can, maybe you should read him your resignation letter as proof.

Well it went something like this:
B:" why did they open another ticket for the same printer... did no one call them?"
M: 'no I didn't, but its not the same printer."
B; "how can you be so sure, It doesnt say anything about 2 printers."
M; "Cause I can read. It says right here 'Cant connect printer to Aloha PC' and then 'Line printer needs swapped'.... "
B:"oK"So now im thinking Oh Shit. That was dumb to say.. but it's the truth..

Welcome to level 1 of developing the skill to tell folks (particularly those in power), they're fools without using the statement "you're a fool!"

Well thank you.

I've flat out called previous bosses and coworkers complete dumbasses, without holding back and still had my job. So long as you're in the right, and do it with the intent of not making the person feel like a dumbass, most people can understand why such strong wording is used.

I dont know any other way I could have said that at this point though.

It reflects poorly on you, not on them though. We are all at different levels of knowledge. A lot of the time I couldn't do their job (like surgeons that I interact with daily). We all have things we're good at and thing's we need to improve on. Have sympathy for other humans. Life isn't easy.

This I can agree with.
My only thing was He didnt even read the tickets that came in. He just started an attitude about " why are they opening another call for the same thing, and you guys arent doing your job and calling these people back.."
SO Yeah, I was a little testy with him this morning when all he does is complain about what we aren't doing at the moment and why we had 2 open tickets for the same site "with the same issue."
I wasn't trying to be an asshole (its just in my blood.)
So Just moving forward I guess, Know not to do that again, I guess. -
