Cancer creeping up on you.. My grandma had been doing really well after she refused any more chemotherapy. She wasn't ill, she was eating, she was walking again and she was in a good mood. After two good years, the past few days have been rough and she is hospice bound within the next couple of days. Not long left now

Merry Christmas and all...

 

[caLLous]

Well I was going to post something funny about console exclusives but that's not going to happen now. I hope her last few days are as comfortable as is possible.

Buying a new sweater to find that the washing label is stiff polyester and sticks into your side. Cutting it off to discover that the base of the label is stitched into the seam of the sweater. Pulling the base of the label off to find that the sweater then falls apart.

I know that pain. I also bet that is some of the most expensive software your company buys.

 

[TdC]

yes. in fact, we even pay the companies to send engineers to sit with us and implement their shit

you can tell them from our guys by the fact they look smug and harassed at the same time. our guys just look harassed. also they cost 500 quid an hour, whereas I'm cheap as chips, me.

Get SAP! ... If you have alot of money

 

[Moriath]

Get Oracle. None of that SAP crap

 

[Raven]

Don't go anywhere near Microsoft Dynamics, its a traincrash.

Sucks man. One in three of us

SAP - have it
Oracle - have it
whatever the hell IBM is calling their shit this month - have it
IPC shit is something called service-center. no idea who makes it but it's badly broken.
HR software now is something in the cloud *boggle*. it looks very pretty but nobody knows how it works and nobody has any kind of access rights except the HR drones (see also: people who don't know how the software works)
CMDB shit is home grown. it's actually not bad but the models have been badly fucked by having to integrate with every-fucking-thing and the fact that nobody has any rights to do anything and the fact that change management shits on you of you leave out any "management information keywords" to the extent that everyone puts in all of the fucking keywords in order to get changes pushed through meaning that the keywords aren't very key any more but heyoooo don't you dare leave one out son.

anyway, frustration much?

Kick the sap out and replace it with oracle. I might get a bonus lol

 

[TdC]

[Moriath]

Now if only i could get bonused on your business lol

 

[dysfunction]

We use oracle and getting a report error that they have never seen before.

Go us!

A billion years ago we used Novell and they had an error code for 'no error'. That was the code you usually got just after something happened that you'd never seen before.

 

[CorNokZ]

At least you get an error. We're using a system, which when exporting data, will tell you that the export was a success, even though only the first 11,000 lines have been exported, when you should have at least 200k

Love how he portrays the incident with a fist-motion to conclude.

So you had to track down and specify your own error-codes? Such user friendly!

Name an industry that didnt abuse kids in the 70s and they will be soon

 

[fettoken]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Gwadien]

Name an industry that didnt abuse kids in the 70s and they will be soon

Yes but nothing can come close to the wrongs of the Police committing such abuse.

I wonder why youre so touchy () about this.

 

[caLLous]

...and we're not talking about child abuse in this instance.

 

[Gwadien]

...and we're not talking about child abuse in this instance.

and yaaaas.

Moriath, you would do well in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany

 

[Scouse]

Name one that professes to be guardians of the vulnerable, that's very reason for existing is the protection of the very people that were callously abused through exploitation of power - power that is granted on trust.

This is a much bigger betrayal of the vulnerable than that of the clergy. It is vile and disgusting.

And it's not 'in the 70's' - it's ongoing. But carry on being an apologist if you must.

my company failing to negotiate properly and thus being forced to hike the price of private payment 1st class travel cards by 300%. 300%! I can lease a car for the amount of money I will have to pay for a card, though how this ties in to the company trying to have us travel less and given that all corporate parking spots are always full anyway, well...I dunno
