I am fully focused on my work today.
I donât like you. I havenât liked you since the first time weâve ever had the displeasure of working together. You consistently waste meeting time on meaningless things like what to ânameâ things, what people might think about what weâre doing, how you do/donât like x because of y and you think everyone else should agree with you, how youâre not available to do your end of things because youâre special and donât have to abide by deadlines like everyone else. You add absolutely no value to the conversation, and instead force people to waste our precious production capabilities on meaningless crap. I wish theyâd drop your ass from the team like a hot rock. For a part-timer, you sure expect people to bend to your will more than they should.

Is management concerned that a lot of really good people are leaving the company here?
(Me, Iâm contract. But theyâve expressed interest in keeping me, which this will be a deciding factor of.)
Dear $colleague
the reason why you lose local connectivity to a PC whichâs connected to a remote VPN server is that its IP address on its interface changed.
Kapisch?
Thereâs nothing I can do in that scenario.

What is the worth of having draughtsmen designing a prototype for testing purposes when you discard the idea of a prototype, order a ton of material and start building the final product, only to shit on the draughtsman responsible if his prototype is not working?
That is precisely the whole idea of a prototype, you build only one thing, test it out, and if it is not satisfactory, redesign, build another prototype until you get a working and solid prototype, then and only then do you order the correct materials and start building the rest of the stuffâŚ
âŚyouâre just pissing off people here which is uncalled-for⌠and it will come and bite you in the assâŚ
You worked on maybe two things for the past two days and only one of them was something big. However, even that one thing required little to no action on your part. Sorry, but listening in a meeting and reading emails/documentation about the project doesnât count as hard work, especially since all you need to do for it is to call the engineers if something is amiss.
And yet there you are, acting like the whole worldâs fate is resting on your shoulders, as if youâve been working your ass off all day. Meanwhile, here I am handling every single day-to-day task in the office, from AV setups to printers, to inventory, to purchasing, to the support calls/walk-ins. A user emails us with something that you should respond to and⌠you donât respond to it at all. Iâm itching for my 3-weeks off in November, half of it to see how much youâll suffer without me there.
And for all thatâs holy, do not blame your blood pressure medication. Thatâs just not owning up to you being nearly useless.

The 10% Rule. Learn it. Youâll stop spending money to re-engineer parts after theyâve failed if you make them stronger in the first place.

I think I shall retire. A permanent vacation looks good on me.
Yeah, I wishâŚ

No, I will not use the web-based Outlook for Office 365. Itâs a mess of a user experience, the UI is terrible, and it doesnât have (and never will have) the features of the desktop client that I depend upon. I donât care if youâve âadaptedâ, I need at least one of those features and it will never come to the web. So I wonât be using it.
Really? You donât ever empty your trash and thatâs an acceptable replacement for the archival system we used to have? You have 12K items in there and think thatâs OK?
Correction: I did say that.
Edit: Now I remember how we got down that road in the first place. I was told âoh, youâre using the desktop Outlook, I canât help you, you should be using the web client that everyoneâs been switched over to.â

Would you like a hug? It sounds like you need it.
Also some sort of pneumatic face-slapping machine for whoever suggested you should abandon local Office.

Dear $manglement
You guys need to get up from your chairs and out of your offices, and get into touch with reality.
The project managers have absolutely no fracking idea of what the installations team have to go through, and that leads to cost and project overruns.
The sales team also have no fracking clue of prices and costs, and they are selling us short.
Frack the lot of you, this company is doomed.

What do you mean, you did not include Outlook Anywhere capabilities into Outlook2016? Only Exchange ActiveSync and Outlook.com accounts can be used.
GFY with a rough and splintery wooden beam. Seriously. Why pay top $$$ for a product, only to find out that it is crippled?
GFY.
Dear $CFO
the above post illustrates EXACTLY why IT need to have access to new Orifice releases, to ensure compatibility with our existing infrastructure.
Kindly GFY yourself too.
Can you create a GPO to forcibly (and silently) empty all items in the Trash/Recycle Bin after a set period of time?
And also why M$ decided to call it a âRecycle Binâ instead of a Shredder (OS/2 Warp) or Trash (MacOS) or something different - it gives people the impression they can ârecycleâ their deleted/unwanted items with impunityâŚ
Whose bright idea was it to send out party invites to everybody EXCEPT âthe IT guyâ?
Just goes to show that âthe IT guyâ is really invisible in this company, ignored by all, but when thereâs problems, then all of a sudden heâs good.
And this is not the first time this had happened either.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Weâre talking about Outlook, not the Windows Recycle Bin so Iâm not sure if a GPO would work anyway. Itâs hosted O365 but thatâs all weâre using w/ O365 right now. Everyone is supposed to use the webmail interface but fsck that, itâs a POS compared to Outlook 2013 (and Iâm far from an Outlook supporter).
Sorry, I thought it was the windows recycle binâŚ
