We launched a new system a month ago and I got put in charge of dealing with all technical issues that come up. For the first time since launch, I have 0 tickets in queue. Feels good

 

what browser do you use?

 

At my job, rule number 1 is never ever ever have 0 tickets in the queue. Thats when management thinks they have too many workers.

 

Yeah but I do a ton of other **** too, and I'm literally the ONLY person dealing with all of these issues, so there's no way they'll think they have too many workers. Also what management thinks doesn't matter since I work for the city and I'm a permanent employee. I'd have to physically assault someone to get fired. I just wanted to get this **** out of the way for the time being because I have so much **** to do besides dealing with this new system. I have to maintain all my box's, I'm currently automating a bunch of different reports using SSIS packages in SQL, not to mention all the other ad hoc reporting that comes in throughout the day. I need more money.

 

the guy who interviewed me made hardly any eye contact whatsoever! so weird

 

Maybe he was coked up

 

idk, it was really weird. wtf are these other quotes doing on here?????????????

 

Are you ready for a laugh? Drum roll please...

IE6. That's right, version 6. And our local IT has us locked out of certain functions on all of our desktops so we can't upgrade any softward or download anything without adminstrative permission. I understand why they do this, but as a manager I should be allowed to do so. I'm a little higher up on the food chain.

 

Same thing was happening to me Becky. I cleared my cookies and rebooted twice and was able to fix it. Sorry your interview didn't go well.


Gotta go. Having a meeting to decide if we are going to close the facility early.

 

AND something different about the site is...on my usercp every thread is highlighted...even if i've already been in there.

 

Put firefox on a thumb drive. Problem solved.

 

im IT, and the managers are the ones we worry about screwing up their computers the most

 

Worst mistake I ever made was giving managers sharepoint designer rights. At least sharepoint makes restoration easy.

 

Those who can - do
Those who cant - manage
Those who cant manage - change jobs every 10 months to hide their unworthyness, and by doing so, climb the corporate ladder with haste.

 

That's great. MikeM dropping knowledge.

 

Also I can't wait for this weekend. I'm dropping the GSXR off Sat to have it checked out by the dealership, moving my f4i into the garage so I can work on it and pulling it out is as easy as just opening the door and riding out, and putting the clipons + the GSXR 1000 radial master on that came in yesterday.


No excuses for me anymore.

 

Im good at sounding like I know what im talking about.

 

i hate how all the jeep and 4x4 sites i go to are so photobucket-intensive. I just looked through a thread on old diesel trucks, and out of a couple hundred posts, i could only see 2 of them at work.

 

I'm not an idiot though like most of them. Plus, I'm friends with the 2 main IT guys. I even went to a motorcycle event for one of them and made a donation to his club. That's the problem though with most IT guys...they think that they are the only ones that can properly operate a computer.

And if I am too stupid to upgrade my browser, then IT should do their job and keep our computer updated with the latest software. It actually causes an issue in some cases because some of the websites I need to access for information on some meds and therapy dosages and process have shown a banner at the top. The banner says that they are phasing out support for my browser and I need to upgrade. I keep asking local IT to do it with no resolution.

Before any of the IT guys in this thread get their panties in a bunch, I know that this is not status quo for all businesses it's just the issue I am running into here and same with another company I worked for.

 

i'm ready to do it.
