FESTERS PLACE

I place to go ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So its been awhile since any work related rants made there way to the forum..

STOOPID customers why the feck they got to be so stoopid?!?! customer rings me wanting a laptop sorted.. no problem i say how old is it his reply "oh cant be any older than a year or 2" customer arrives at shop with Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS with... WIN95 on it! when i try to explain that his newly bought Vodafone wireless internet dongle will not work with his 13 year old laptop he has a shit attack at me for "wasting his time"

you try help some people and they just dont see it that way..

(ah thats better anyone else?)

Well, in the last week, we have moved our email client from Outlook to Lotus Notes!

Now, I don't know if anyone has ever used this particular program, but it's utter shite!

Simple, one click actions in Outlook, are now multiple clicks, and force you to think about what you are doing.

In here we are referring to it as Stupid Lotus Notes, because that is exactly what it is!

Chin up Fester, only 2 days to Friday, and a Bank Holiday weekend!

I think Jase was involved with lotus notes he should know your pain..

Indeed lazy 2 days 2 much though hehe

EDIT: jase posted as i did

Show the bosses Exchange 2010 Eagle it has lots of cool features auto transcribes voice mails to text previews and lots of features HR will like too

Nice thread. Cos people love to listen to story lines that just went wrong
btw Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS - it´s not much but says enuff I guess

Accordin to "2 more days": there´s a sayin over here (that usually only fits for bureaucrats anymore)
"Freitag ab eins (13:00) - macht jeder sein´s"
It means kind of "Friday past noon - just do what you do" in the sense of everybody may do his/her stuff past 1 pm. If u see it like that, Fester, Lazy´s totally right - me myself can already smell the aroma of fresh saturday mornin rolls roastin in the oven til 3 pm when I finally get up and start trainin for the evenin

And yes - people are shite. I´d prefer to live in a big city just surrounded by REAL animals
Tho it could become a bit furry when it gets to the point ²

With this in mind: prepare for friday night, dudes!

Edit:
The reason I actually decided on to post is a question. What is Bank Holidays? And why is it called that?!

As this is a public thread all I'm gonna say is work sucks! I feel for you all and have my own little Idaho which I've just stirred with the shit stick. I'm expecting my P45 sometime soon... ..hopefully!

I seem to be spending more time these days filling out spreadsheets documenting the work I have done than I actually doing work.

Just trust that I'm doing my job and let me get on with it ffs!

What a luck that it´s you answerin first.
Now i know less than i did before cos I can never be sure you ain´t pullin a poor german´s leg again.
So if it was true - thx for the quick reply, mate.
If it ain´t - I know somebody´s mom countin´ kippers instead that day... and it ain´t mine.

haha fester, I feel for ya.

Funny thing tho, I just came in to sign some papers for my new job here in ICT and the first thing they told me was: "whatever people may think, we are NOT the IT department"

As most of us are probably aware its usually the module at the end of the keyboard thats faulty.

Having run computer software and hardware companies i can understand more than most the shit you get for not being as stupid as your customers.

Funny thing is i get wised up clients ringing me now 4 months after completing a flash site with ecommerce done in php with a multitude of scripts to make it all work and they tell me that their mate in the pub can now edit their site using a browser with a log in.

Although currently the numpty mentioned only works once a fortnight signing a form for the government so that he's free the rest of the time to advise people like me who spent years and tens of thousands of pounds without realising my client actually wanted a useless CMS.

Im off to calm down now in a quiet room.
