Things you wish you could say (at work)

Good for me.

Bad for the vendor who doesn’t know WTF his system is doing.

No lawyers actually involved. It’s a HIMYM reference.

Dear $Luser

Here’s your preciouses craptop.

Now STFU.

Is eating lunch alone odd? That’s what a Kindle and headphones are for isn’t it?

sometimes I wear my headphones without anything playing just so they leave me alone at lunch…

Wow, I thought I was teh only one.

I’d do this, but people approach me & start talking as though they don’t even see my headphones.

I guess I need big studio cans instead of a BT headset that wraps around the back of my head.

I have a set of these.

Though since mine were “old stock” they were only $50. They are pretty noticeable.

Good night. (Everyone left a long arse time ago…) Oh well, ‘Good night, Moon’. Til I return again in 10 hours.

At my last job, I used to always have a headset on at lunch. Now I never get lunch, it’s a rare thing I actually get a break. If the choice is “work late” vs. “no break,” I’m going to pick “no break” every time.

I cherish my alone time. I’m just like that. I don’t get why people don’t understand it.

Dear $Installer

Why would WSUS lie?

The fact is, it is easy cloning windows installations with clonezilla (or $dick-cloning software). But, if you don’t change the SID, a whole lot of installations WILL have the same SID. Which screws up WSUS.

I don’t believe your story that you did not clone any windows installations, because I picked up the same issue on three different sites.

Seems like you and other $_site_installer probably made merry on company overtime if I am right in my assumptions…

I will be speakening to the project damager whose project I was busy with, and see if he can “reassign” me to $_site for a day or two, so that I can check SID’s inna bunch - and if I find a couple of SIDs matching…

That sounds like something you could check remotely with a WMI, remote registry, or SCCM query. On the sly. Then throw the evidence right $installer’s face in a surprise attack.

Pfft. I want to get out of the office, hence the reason for asking for a day (or two) of reassignment to go to site. It’s nice going to site, you don’t have lusers bothering and pestering you every so often.

Then do a couple of screenies etc, and get the ammo ready.

I know I can gather evidence remotely, but I’m in a current “meh” phase at the moment.

  1. Repeating how there is no way you could have misread the data multiple times does not change how it is reflected on the computer.
  2. Just because you can’t comprehend that you made a mistake does not mean you did not make a mistake.
  3. It is not my fault you do not know how to work the website, and it is not my jurisdiction to fix it when you don’t work it correctly.

Dear luser. New computer =/= new monitor. Yes, your neighbor’s monitors are bigger than yours. However, your boss asked that I replace your aging PC. Contrary to your popular belief the monitor is a separate device from the computer. Therefore your monitors stay. I don’t have any of the larger ones like your neighbor has in stock right now anyway. Begone.

Truth times infinity.

Ok, which one of you idiots decided to issue laptops that seemingly have the same brightness-and-color-correction software that phones/tablets have? This thing is irritating the fsck out of me, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to turn it off (partially because it’s using the AMD Control Center, which has crap menu structure, and partially because it’s using the AMD Control Center, which can’t do anything without thinking about it for 30 seconds first. There’s a reason I prefer nVidia cards…)

Me: Did you seriously send that to your clients?

Please tell me why are we paying an external mob $10k to do something that is supposed to be part of my job?
