Oh we are, no question there. They had a staff of three on a five hour call yesterday trying to troubleshoot an issue that was hardware failure they could have determined in minutes.

@scottalanmiller lol. For that customer, they should get the IT Crowd voicemail: "Try turning it off and on again and then call us back"
-
They wanted to. I can't believe everyone at that site isn't fired today.

Sitting out on the balcony getting caught up here waiting for some onsite work to begin.... turns out we had a tech drive eleven hours just to restart a switch that had crashed before no employee at the site, including the on call local IT guy from another firm, was willing to just power cycle some devices before putting someone in the car to drive two states away to just power cycle things!!

I think my email address has been sold by an IT company... I'm getting dozens of "meeting requests" a day from various IT contractors/developers/maintainers.

Yes, avoid giving out your email there and don't let them scan your badges. The whole thing is a collection for spam.

Is it sad that I saw this:
And Immediately thought it was for a Live Action Role Playing group?

Getting my new iPhone 6 ordered, since my iPhone 5s is toast. I took it out of the rice this morning after 2.5 days in there and.... nothing. Completely dead. As a doornail.
