I can't believe someone fell for it...
Apr. 1st, 2008 11:31 amAs SysAdmin at work, today I sent out the following email to all the staff...
"Until further notice, all requests for support from the IT department must be submitted in triplicate, using the form found in \dev\null [note: This was a hyperlink, although it didn't actually point anywhere real].
Thankyou for your time."
So far two people have fallen for it, including my mother, who really should know better...

That was interesting
Apr. 4th, 2007 10:18 amGot trapped in the life at work. Turns out no-one can hear the alarm from inside...
Just as well there was mobile reception, and I had several of my co-workers numbers.
If they'd taken too long getting me out and I'd missed my train to see
ginasketch, then someone would have died. Probably several someones...
Edit: Okay, I meant to say lift. Still, "life" is quite funny...yay for accidental philosophy :-P

Mar. 6th, 2007 08:39 amWell, just found out that my boss will be off for another week...
Grapevine rumours vary from any day after that, to another week after that, to "not back till the end of term". If I get time, I suppose I'd better try and find an official answer.
Of course, it's all moot in the increasingly unlikely event that I hear today I didn't get the job.
Sorry for any lack/loss of quality of things like downtimes, but currently, I'm part of a department that really needs three people, has two, and one of them is off sick. I'm not fully trained on the vagarities of this particular system, so I'm also having to work it out as I go along. As a result, I may be a little frazzled, as even my fairly impressive reserves of energy are being taxed.

Vexing me...
Feb. 26th, 2007 10:07 amWell, my comp died over the weekend. Fortunately, it just requires a reinstall of windows. But I haven't got round to it yet- I'll be doing so tonight. Which is annoying.
In other news, my boss is away ill all week, leaving me as sole IT guy again.
Amusingly, with my interview on Thursday, it therefore means the only person left who is qualified to ask me technical questions in the interview is, well, me. :-)
