That's cuz noone cares about tfnn losers ():)


But.. it's been a while since i did one of these..


User: I need my password reset
Me: ok.. what are you trying to access?
User: huh? um.. this thing to do my work.
Me: can you give me more detail? what's it called? is it a program?
User: yea.. a program we use to access our work detail for the day.
Me: do you know the name of it?
User: No. can't you just reset my password?
Me: I need to know what system you're accessing to reset the password.
User: i dont know. But i need to get into it to get my work.
Me: well.. i suggest asking your supervisor what the name of the system is. Then we can reset the password
User: i asked them yesterday. if i ask 'em again, they'll think i'm stupid
Me: {checks user's date of hire. They've been employed for 5 years. if they dont know what system they work in, after 5 years, then they are stupid} well.. i can't help you if i dont know what system you need access in.
User: ok. i'll call back.
User hangs up.

2 minutes later.. phone rings.

User: I need my password reset
Me: ok.. what are you trying to access?
user hangs up.

2 minutes later.. phone rings.

User: I need my password reset
Me: ok.. what are you trying to access?
User: can't i speak to someone else?
Me: I'm the only one here at 2am.
user hangs up.

:D

ok ok fine.

user: i cant access my vmware.
me: ok. what's the IP on the vmware?
user: {gives me the vmware ip}
me: {does reverse lookup on IP.. no match}
me: I'm not showing a match for that IP. do you have the fqdn for the vmware box?
user: no. this is my vmware.
me: ok.. when did you last access this vmware box?
user: huh? my supervisor told me to use this vmware.
me: when was your supervisor told to use that vmware?
user: i dont know. i need to do my work. cant you reset the vmware?
me: i cannot reset a vmware that doesn't exist. VMware's are wiped clean every few months and if your supervisor did not let us know they were going to use it, chances are it doesnt exist.
user: why are they wiped?
me: company policy. every 3 months, vmware are wiped out. before that occurs, all registered vmware users are emailed by IT Compliance to see if they still need the box. if they do not receive a response, the box is wiped.
user: i cant do any work then.
me: well. your supervisor will have to re-request a VMWare.
user: {mutters something in indian.. hangs up}

afterwards, i check the audit logs.. the IP he provided hasn't been a working VM in almost 8 months. either his supervisor is an idiot and didn't follow process, or he's lying his ass off.

come on guyver, you gotta have a better story

I want the story to end all stories. The ultimate story. A story so grand that cats will become our eternal overlords and we have to ask pidgeons if we can eat or sleep.

Try learning that knife trick that all the tough cool guys do in those bad bflick films. You know the one where you stab the table inbetween your spread fingers. Thy always show some evil guy or hot chick doing that at mad speeds but they have perfect hands. No way you learn to do it that fast without fucking up your fingers at least a few times.

i did that a few times, after watching the movie ALIENS (when Bishop does it hyperfast, but that's cuz he's a robot).

ended up with more than my share of sliced fingers.

ever stab the "webbing" between your fingers... that shit HURTS!

I'll be sure to keep that in mind thanks! But self mutilation is still rather far down on my list. Right next to eating dog shit. I don't know I keep switching the two around on my list though.

recently a new "procedure" was sent out about how we should open help tickets. The change was that instead of ccing a certain email group, we now need to cc a new email group since the old one had been removed. Two of my higher paid co-workers were discussing opening a help ticket about a week after this was sent out... they both were utterly dismayed at the fact the theyd never heard of this "new" email group so they came to a consensus that using the old email group would be the prudent thing to do.

22degsC is too high for input temp..... WAit, what are you cooling?

And when you say, strike a rupture disk, do you mean the soft points where if the pressue gets too high it vents the refrigerant?
