Follow up to the following thread: Tomorrow is going to be interesting at the office.......
Seems my new archrival has taken on a case of Terminal PMS since those that share her same job description got remote access privleges. She's been moping around and giving everyone the "evil eye" since she is no longer "special" in her group. Their manager is pretty happy and has the attitude, "Hey, I'd be stupid to turn down somsthing that means more work done at no cost."
Big Mama has been trying to scare others out of getting remote access:
"Oh boy, it took me an hour and about fifty tries to log on last night" That is a total lie since I check the remote access server and she logged on exactly once for 48 minutes. I posted the log on my door for those that wish to confirm it. STRIIIIIIIKKKKKE ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I can't believe how slow it is. I cooked dinner in the time it took to check parts in the warehouses." Again her bluff was called when the two people on remote reported excellent speeds that were only slightly slower than those at the office. This was backed up by many salespeople that work on the road in such places as Manila, Rome, London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Santiago, etc... She continued to insist that the servers "stink and are poorly managed" plus all those dropped connections. She even filed a formal email complaint (which she so kindly CCed me on). No biggie for me since I don't run the remote access servers.
They are all the way in Texas. I forwarded the mail to the people that run it with a quick explaination of the situation. I have a funny feeling my buddies in Texas will begin to "lose" her trouble tickets when she suddenly looses the ability to log on from home. STRIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKE TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
As a final attempt to get back at those around her, she no longer optimizes (I think that is the right word it. I don't use Access much but it basically compacts the database). The database is now a hefty 3.3GB vs. 1.5GB. No biggie. The plan was for me to create a self extraciting ZIP file along with a quick batch file and burn the sucker to CD-RWs. During a test, the whole shebang ziped over 94% into a svelte 200MB file. :Q I couldn't believe my eyes. The two existing users and one new remote tried it and confirmed that everything was there.
At first I was afraid of sabotage but the people let me in on a little secret. They have always known her to be petty so when the updates are processed, one person backed it up locally to two desktops. Several of the prople have even been studying the database and making their own covert changes (GOSH!!! A whole table is missing). A few actually know it very well and told me they offered to help but Fat Bitch insisted that only, "A trained professional" (YEA RIGHT!!) can take care of it. To top it off, the nightly backup ensures there are at least 5 copies with 1 offsite in case she does try to screw her collegues over. STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEE 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
This afternoon I got a card on my desk with the words to "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" written in it. It was signed "the anonymous team" with 11 "anonymous" signatures but I think I have a good idea which group it came from. Another added benefit to those around her is that she no longer speaks to anyone. 99% of what she does is brag about "how much I work" and "how the place would fall apart without me" For the first time those around her have peace and quiet. She left in a huff at lunch and refused to attend the end of the year luncheon.
What a way to end the year.
