I hate helldesks!!2

[Testin da Cable]

I came back from a course to find that my workstation still had not been fixed.
The day after that I came in to work to find that my userid had been deleted. Three workmates had to restrain me from beating the security peeps [yes - all of them] to a bloody pulp. My god. Anyway, a full day [ye gods...it's not as if this farce isn't costing any money] later I had managed to wheedle my way back on to the network [officially mind you - I'd ha><ored my workstation long before I even thought of pulling some strings]. My network id had been deleted, my mainframe access id had been deleted, my internet access had been deleted and several of my application id's had also been pulled. Why? Nobody seems to know heh. Aaaaaanyway I can now log on again and do just about everything but access the mainframes and get on the internet. Fools :| It's fscking shameful to have to tell someone through the phone what they're supposed to enable for you to be able to use your account again. They're the ones that are supposed to know these things ffs

As I am on a two week leave atm I expect to start work again with a broken workstation and a freshly deleted userid. I weep for the average user heh. If shite like this can happen to me who knows what horrors lurk out there on the network...

Quit your job and become a hermit, no hassles no fuss. Alternatively, start a new life Under the Sea, allegedly it's much better down where it's wetter.

the thought had occured to me you know

 

[Mellow-]

But you've only just started at this place haven't you???

 

[Testin da Cable]

someone must have told them about me.....


















By the way Scooba, that hermit thing isn't too far off you know. For some reason my jobby of choice [after the current one heh] would be a forester. ahem

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Rather fantastically my Father when leaving secondary school was advised to join the Forrestry Corp. Bearing in mind he was 16, and had lived in Central London his whole life, the mind boggles as to why that career path was advised, I doubt he'd even seen a tree heh.

 

[doh_boy]

maybe they wanted to get rid of him? did he have bo?



































:uhoh:

good one I remember taking strange tests full of questions a la "Would you prefer growing champignons or computing the distances between gravitational anomalies in space?" No non-of-the-above button in sight brrrr

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

wow, I'd have gone for the computing gravitational anomlies, that sounds brilliant.

Doh, he may possibly have had BO, I wasn't around to be able to confirm tho heh

 

[Summo]

Yeah, but up on de shore dey work all day. Under de sun dey slave away.








I'm late, okay? So sue me.

 

[Testin da Cable]

well, the test came out something like "spacestation painter". sounded quite good to me [though iirc I was stoned immaculate at the time]

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Put it on CV 'Hopes one day to fufil lifetime goal of being a spacestation painter'

 

[Testin da Cable]

that will look pretty good next to practicing peanut-butter fetishist you know

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Mine has under Hobbies 'Enjoys Strip Solitaire', just goes to show they don't ever bother to read it

Go listen to the BT openworld helpline music.

I did that for hours once and I ended up walking the street with a bag on my head.
