Things you wish you could say (at work)

Silly Woodman! Are you not aware that lost productivity has no financial ramifications? There is no cost for anything unless someone must write a check for that specific purpose. /endsnark

I QUIT. Eat oatmeal till you’re in high school for all I care! Put whatever you darn well please in it!! I’m going to go take a nap! FOR THE NEXT THIRTEEN YEARS.

(Note: This is only something I wish to SAY, not DO, since the job I have is not something from which someone quits. So don’t worry, @Sig. :kissing_heart:)

ā€œFor every three things you think you are getting away with, you probably are only getting away with two. Good night son.ā€

@Sunbeam; Sadly, some actually do quit…but I’m confident you are not that type of human.

Dear $damager

Video conferencing is FUBAR’d - I tried my best setting it up from scratch as it lost a lot of settings because some dimwit switched it off at the wall instead of switching it off via the management interface.

I know you got a video conference tomorrow, there’s nothing I can do, except wait for the technician to come out, prod and poke at the unit and see what got damaged and why.

kthanxbai.

The issue is on the local machine and here is proof. /me shows proof. The user needs his local IT person to fix it by either reinstalling the client or changing the file association. The user doesn’t have admin rights hence the reason to call his local IT person. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO SO STOP FRIGGING CALLING ME! *

    • this was actually all said just not quite this way.

Moved from the wrong thread…need more coffee…

It’s not my fault you pissed off the previous Citrix Admin and he walked.

No, I really don’t want to do the job, I already have too much on my plate because we’re short staffed. But… since I have no choice in the matter whatsoever I suppose I must.

No, I know absolutely nothing about Citrix. In fact, I’ve never even used it.

No, don’t expect a new server farm with a fully tested and operational production system to be up and running in two weeks. Never.Fucking.Gonna.Happen.

You expect me to pull complete knowledge and understanding of a system instantaneously out of my ass? Nope. You need it now, hire a fucking consultant.

Office politics sure’s a lovely thing.

Made a backup of $Project_damager’s laptop (email PST and documents).

Ex-$Project_damager phoned from new work, asked for a backup of his .PST as his backup drive went kaput.

$BigBoss said nein, he’s not gonna get it.

Lovely.

@Boomer it sounds like you need to tap into one of the coffee pipes for a direct line if they’re going to pile that BS on you.

Also Citrix is of the devil.

I am certain that I will get to utilize all this new SharePoint app development knowledge I’m gaining this week and roll out awesome applications for our company to use widely very soon.

Ohh, maybe you could come to our office and accidentally blow ours up.

Dear $Lusers

I can’t smell if a particular gateway is givening issues or not. You should’ve phoned or emailed me, but you lot instead decide to sit it out and bugger off early today.

Bugger off the lot of you… I’m not impressed.

It’s been a decade (!!!) since I last used Citrix (at $Hated_Alarm_Job) – over an ISDN connection, no less – but the name still makes me recoil.

Sure, I can understand you had things to do, but what makes you think your time is more valuable then mine? I had to do some squirlly time-shifting to be here early so you could do the removal, and you didn’t show untill 20 minutes after I would usually be here anyway. Eff U, Eff U, your cool, Eff U!

For crying out loud, can you please tell the difference between ā€œhaving trouble connectingā€ and ā€œnot hearing any audioā€? Every damn time, it’s like this. The video conference connected, numb nuts, or else you wouldn’t be seeing anything so stop saying ā€œwe’re having problems connectingā€.

I dunno. We’re running it here with no problems. Granted that means someone else set it up years ago, knew what they were doing and future proofed it to some degree so it’s been pretty tame. Now the upgrade we’re planning on doing may make me eat this post…

Dear $Project_Damager

Your use of crude, lewd gestures and rude language in office really is disgusting.

Granted, I do use swear words, but I tend to tone it down, and try to censor myself as far as possible (on forums), but not in speech or in front of other people.

So get your f**** butt outta the door on the top floor and jump down over the balcony, there’s a good chap… now THAT will give you reason to swear like a sailor.

OK, so now we’ve established that you do not pay attention.

2 weeks ago, I said you could set up new user accounts for $system immediately, so that they were ready when we started switching users over. This week, you’re asking me if it’s OK to start creating the accounts after the users should have already started using them!?

And now you ask me if I should get an assignment on a ticket, I tell you it can’t possibly be me and that it should be $other_group, and your response is ā€œdo you need the assignment or do you know who did the task?ā€ Isn’t that what I just told you in the previous email?
