I've spoken to you many times about the rules on this project, so we do not need to go over this again:

1. You must take any overtime worked during the week on the Friday.

2. You cannot do overtime on the Friday.

3. You cannot negotiate this, we've been over it a million times. I am not interested in discussion.

​

So this is how the discussion with my boss began back when I did support. To give context this was a two year plan of migrating remote sites, it wasn't particularly complicated but in order to make things smoother we'd suggested migrating most of their data overnight, this would occur a couple of hours of overtime each week which the company were not happy having to

I haven't worked in support for many years but still remember some of the nice things said to me during my time doing it.

One lady with poor vision almost crying when I took a screen magnifier to her and set it up, who just stared at it going "wow" over and over with a huge smile.

The kids with learning disabilities who got touch screen iMacs which blew their mind and who wrote a theme some (based on Batman) which they sang anytime they saw me.

The doctor who actually got down on his knees and kissed my feet (I was with a colleague at the time) after I fixed his long-problematic monitor issues (it was literally 5 mins to download/reinstall an Nvidia driver). He said he'd had over a dozen

So I work in health care. IT fed a call through to me basically as they knew I'd laugh and reject it.

"We are looking to do some team building in the department, please could we have (steam + list of games) installed to facilitate. These will not be used within working hours."

Yeah ok let me just adjust our regulatory requirements so you can play Game of Life totally not during working hours.

Can not get my head around this today. I'm looking to show a list of infected computers (we had a bit false positive this week) and show this side by side with the reported malware file path.

​

Does anyone have a query/report for this? Closest I can get is the "infected computers" report in endpoint protection, can't figure out how to join the malware path though!

How are people licensing Tenable.IO? We're considering it but to keep costs within budget we'd likely only be able to license servers + 15% of desktops. I don't feel this is really a huge risk as those desktops are done from baseline images, locked down etc and have ATP running. I would be able to add a few licenses adhoc for other devices obviously.

​

Is anyone else doing it like this or are you all fully licensing your estate ?

Lots of people here up and arms at potentially being asked to muck in, I've been told I may be asked to help wash beds etc. Managers just making sure we know it could be expected and that it would be a huge change in daily routine etc.

Honestly compared to what I usually do day to day, I'm all for it! Bring it on!

Noticed a trend recently where suppliers will e-mail and say "we have X new product, how is Thursday 23rd May at 10am for a 30 minute meeting?"

​

Then a few days later, even if you don't respond will e-mail to confirm it.

​

I'm in a fairly public role, my name and contact details are on the internet due to it and I get these e-mails a LOT. I never respond, I'd never get my work done if I did but just this morning I've had someone call and apologise for "missing our 8:50am call". As I pointed out to him, I never agreed to any call and I'm not giving a second of my time to a company that assumes it can insert itself into my diary.

What sort of ****ing tacti
