Seen in a case filed today: From the context, the rep meant to type "... phone number of ours" but instead typed "... phone number of ares".

Update your files, a guy named Kratos lives there now.

At least three different people have decided that today is the day to wander up and down between all the cubicles having private conversations on their cell phones. Is it International Fuck Common Courtesy Day or what?

Brentai · « **Reply #1962 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:45:53 AM »

Oh wait, we're having a Company Super Bowl Party today.

This... shouldn't really equate to International Fuck Common Courtesy Day but it seems natural that it somehow does.

Oh hey now the whole place suddenly smells like nasty ass cabbage. People really are getting into the spirit of this thing.

So officially in the HR system, at some point, the name of my department got changed from Development Test Engineering to Development Integration Engineering.

That's right.

Welcome to DIE.

While I would love to think someone was making a little joke with that, it's much more likely that someone thought it would sound more impressive to clients. "Oh, we don't test things here. We integrate."

Brentai · « **Reply #1968 on:** February 09, 2012, 10:36:30 AM »

I think it was a knee-jerk reaction to too many developers thinking that having a "Test" department meant they didn't have to do their own testing.

So today I go into work and the manager that opened is freaking out because the store manager is leaving for one of the other stores in the district and starting Saturday the district manager is taking over our store.
Throughout the least productive day I've seen there so far more and more information / rumors get out, and past experience tells me it's a lot less of a "taking over while hiring or grooming the assistant manager" and a lot more "clearing house or the store is closing".

This would all be pretty crappy, except last night I was at a family dinner for my uncle's birthday and my cousin offered me a job at the new office for his construction company that's been making money so fast he's being federally investigated.

Nothing says "Legit employment opportunity" like federal investigation

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #1971 on:** February 09, 2012, 02:03:29 PM »

I think you're missing the important point here: money

Brentai · « **Reply #1972 on:** February 09, 2012, 04:13:47 PM »

I don't see what you have to worry about. It's only your cousin in NYC inviting you into a family-owned business that makes suspiciously too much income and has the Feds nervous.

What's the point of the internet if not to dish self-indulgent stories?
I hear that three wrongs make a right, after all.

...came into work to find my account unexpectedly locked out this morning, for a rather nasty sense of deja vu.

Given that it had apparently been set to expire at the end of the year and they didn't lock me out of the admin account that let me into AD to fix it, I am assuming that this time it was an oversight. But I should probably double-check at some point.

And today I learned that temps' keycards expire every six months and have to be re-authorized!

The hard way, of course. The "Come in and the door won't open" way.

Put in my two weeks. New store manager was super okay with it and the assistant manager was happy I wasn't leaving until after his time off so he didn't care.

It's weird just getting a job. Walking in for the first time, looking at a few spreadsheets of what I'd be doing and walking out knowing I have it a half-hour later.
