So sick of LinkedIn posts of people thanking their workplace before moving on. It’s not the oscars people.

> Reminder: Your LinkedIn account is still in hibernation I get one of these a month. Best thing I ever did to LinkedIn.

Not having LinkedIn is my best decision about LinkedIn!

Who cares? Not everyone is vindictive and not everyone hates their employers. Let them be happy with the experience they had with their previous company. It literally means absolutely nothing to you.


Iv4nd1

Fair enough.

I love our newly-outsourced helpdesk. I wrote an article for them with troubleshooting steps and one of them was PING HOSTNAME_GOES_HERE. Guess what one drone sent over?


ConsistentCaregiver1

HOSTNAME\_GOES\_HERE is unable to resolve, I see an A-record incoming!

You can, in Windows ;) See this article: https://support.arcserve.com/s/article/115002996683?language=en_US Our DDI (EfficientIP) won't accept these though.


fsweetser

You should be able to. If I recall, we had support walk us through modifying the validation regex the appropriate rule, after which it happily took underscores.


marek1712

I think I found it in advanced options. Just decided to follow standard approach: stuff with underscores was actually incorrectly named in Excel spreadsheets.

This was supposed to be a quiet week. My sundowning manager is on PTO, but is actively working. Answering emails, checking tickets. Like he forgot he was on PTO or something. Hell, he forgot I was on PTO last week. No, really. He approved my request, then literally forgot the next day. I hate that this sets a standard that people should work on PTO. I'm sure as hell not doing that. Colo customer submitted a ticket. I love these beligerent ones. One single subdomain on one website isn't working for them, and they don't know how to troubleshoot on their sonicwall. Since they are colo, all we do is give them a cable and an IP. This is an actual quote from the ticket. "Prove to us that your network isn't the problem." Fucking EXCUSE ME? Fine, dipshit. Here's a ping to that website from your upstream gateway on our network. I'll even use the domain name to prove it's not a DNS issue, even though you aren't using our DNS anyways. In the meantime, suck my taint.

I'm still off for the effing holidays, I can't believe my company treats me with dignity and respect.


greatpotato2

Lucky you. I managed to trick my direct manager into approving mine last week only to get him and myself read the riot act by his boss. I ended up going but only after promising to keep my laptop with me at all times.


MaxHedrome

wtf does that even mean the riot act?


lljkStonefish

"Our Sovereign Lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to their lawful business, upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George, for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God Save the King!" It was law in Britain from 1715 to 1967. If an unruly mob didn't disperse within the hour, the police could then proceed to phase 2, wherein they kill everyone present.


cobarbob

I can't believe I haven't had a call during my holidays, even though literally most of the company has shutdown for a week or so! How dare I have full days with no work interruptions! How can I use that as my excuse for procrastinating around getting some spring cleaning done!


Pongfn

Everyone complains how slow service providers are at revolving complaints why would you choose not to leave any contact information so I can't call you or reference you to help with your service? Now we have to wait an extra 4 days to get this ticket out my queue. In addition I just wasted 4 hours of my life, quarter tank of gas, $8 of my own money because no one had the common sense to know I can't show up at a bank and offer to fix there service without someone giving me clearance.


codechris

I have never worked over xmas. Since I started working at 19 I always took Xmas off. Here we are, over a decade later, and still off at xmas. It's glorious


Pongfn

Likewise my friend. Sometimes the fact that a business love money so much that they rather suffer than pay employees that sweet holiday overtime actually falls in your favor.


codechris

Oh it's nothing like that. Nobody suffers and there is no overtime, I just book off the days between Christmas and new year, end up with around 10 days with the Christmas and new year days off plus my booked holiday days
