I just avoided getting my ass chewed off by the company CFO and possibly CEO

first rule.. save all your work and log off
then give me the computer to work on.

Now you know...SAVE SAVE SAVE and shut down when you change stuff. It's just safe practice

edit: that's the problem w/being 'too experienced'...you start to cut corners. I did that w/a knife once...you see I use my fingers to guide the width of my slices, and I quickly got to the point where I didn't have to look/pay attention to hands while I chopped food...or so I thought. Poor finger ><

lesson learned.

Good save.

Make sure you remove her username from the admins group though. Don't want her causing more problems for you.

The dumbass that does 4 hours of work without saving deserves to be fired. That is simply unacceptable when saving your work takes a total of 5 seconds.

QFT can't believe no ones else noticed this too!

Nice. I don't know the telnet connection, and I couldn't do that

So, she would have lost 4 hours of work. How long did you spend trying to fix it? You probably saved one or two hours in the end.

Let me guess, you work for the government?

8 Hours of IT time < 1 Hour of accounting time (at the end of the quarter).

QFT. as much of a good hack is as what you did, an even better one would have been, so I told her to save her work first, when the screen didnt come up, i told her to reboot, and presto!

i bet you were sweating up a storm.

As soon as I read this I could help but think WTF?!? I never touch any machine unless work has been saved and every program has been closed.

Nice save. Lesson learned. :beer:

 

[warcrow]

My It moto, "save and save often".

 

[BCskunk]

Talk about clutch performance.

 

[wondersteve]

Awesome ... great save

 

[Confused]

Great save, BUT you should never have got yourself in that situation in the first place.


Ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking!

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

next time throw her out the window and leave the suicide note you wrote in her name on her desk

 

[Omegachi]

awesomeness

Congrats on learning a new IT two step.

I had the CFO of this company I work with tell me no on something, so I went to the President


When he found out he turned three shades of Red

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Good save, though. You got lucky... this time.

 

[ZowieHowie]

But did it take more than 5-10 minutes ;-)
