Got to give him credit. He did it before they could. Too bad there wasn’t a way for him to hide their location.
All said, I bet Verizon hires on that firm after the fact due to their clean code.
Is that a chili cookoff?
No, it’s a pretentious street fair where gaudy cheap-o knock offs compete with one-of-a-kind real art pieces, and the real art usually loses. Supposedly, it’s a “juried” art fair.
It was a blight on Ann Arbor in the 80s and I can’t imagine that it has gotten any better.
Won’t be surprised if they did.
Nope. A pumpkin show where a bunch of farmers show off their huge gourds. And BTW, the weather was perfect. No rain, just sun and 75. As the real weather reports said. And like I knew it would be. 
With a little more investment in time and equipment, he could have had a ‘jump box’ at his home, and the connection to the work machines would have come from there, not China.
No, you cannot hide a support request inside another support request. Opening a ticket for “Can’t connect to printer, and oh by the way myself and some others also need a change to the security infrastructure” that two of your supervisors, including the COO said no, not going to happen already.
You are either such an ID10T that you forgot, or you trying to purposefully trying to get me in trouble save your job. In both cases, I’m not going to do it. Come back with your ducks in a row, or don’t come back at all.
Good thinking, and the same I would’ve done.
But I’m not that daft to let any contractor near my company’s crown jewels, no matter what the intention, because you never know. If the contractor screws up (accidental rm -rf or del ,) then you’re in the poo, not the contractor.
To prevent this kind of scenario, have the contractor work on the “jump box” totally, you would plonk the code on the “jump box” that need editing, contractor do his work there, and when finished, you copy the edited code back to your own workstation, compile and test.
Wonder what “Bob” is doing now?
Dear $Manglement

I have four days left at this place, so no one really batted an eye at me scheduling an ‘unexpected meeting’ later this week, which pretty much means I’ve already got an interview before the job even ends.
(Bad side is it might mean working in DC, which might be a killer for me. But it’s got some plusses, and it doesn’t hurt to check it out.)
Who are you and how did you get my email address? Plz to be unsubscribing me. Kthxbai.
Yeah, don’t expect world class service on a penny-pinching budget. Either pay up or shut up, seriously. You’re lucky we’re even helping you jerks out at all.

Yup, when I said “I don’t think that’ll work, have you checked?” I really meant it. Now you’ve told the client you can do the impossible, and realised that it’s impossible, I look forward to seeing how you’re going to resolve this one.
heh, just emailed $manager and $hr and tole them I’ve got an upset stomach, then had the whole day to be relaxed and ready for the interview. (South African law allows for unscheduled sick leave without doctor’s certificate, but only on tuesday, wednesday or thursday…).
So, now it’s playing the waiting game, they will let me know next week Friday.
Last I checked an experienced sysadmin gets R30k. Current company pays R21k. That is before tax.
Guess they’ll be having a hard time finding a replacement.
Muhuhahaha.

Dear $luser

Um, is that annual?
Oops.
Monthly.
At current exchange rates that’s around USD$26k a year unless my math is wrong. That seems low. I don’t know the cost of living over there but I’m making substantially more than that as a desktop tech.
Is it that hard to check the recipients of an email to see if I’m one of them? I’m getting tired of you forwarding me emails that I already received and are already working on as if I don’t have enough work to do.
