The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
So…after a few days of excruciating pain and finally moving the pain to an amber alert I am able to type a little. Fortunately, for a man bereft of interesting things to blog about, there was an interesting diversion today where I work.
A well dressed businessman, complete with briefcase tried to gain access to the [...]
Now I know that the current financial crisis is causing problems in the industry. I know that banks and their employees are in a semi-permanent alternating state of catatonia and panic. I didn’t, however, realise that it had gotten so bad where I am working. I went to the smoking area today and there is [...]
Tags: random, WorkSo recently I have been interviewing people for a job in my team. I regularly get asked to perform technical interviews for a number of teams, not just my own it has to be said…it goes without saying that some of the people you end up interviewing would struggle to get out of bed in [...]
Tags: WorkSo over the last couple of weeks I have just been completely unable to get anything done at work. Either I have spent entire days in meetings, or when I am actually at my desk, operational things get the better of me and I don’t manage to get anywhere with my tasks.
I suppose these are [...]
Is it bad when your boss starts sending emails that end with things like “Ask them to change it, but try and be nice”?
Sure, I can argue and I can do it pretty well. At work I can get quite aggressive, which is in direct contrast to what a soft cuddly teddy bear I am [...]
So I thought I would explain about the whole “Uncle Fester” thing..Although it could quite easily be about a shaved panda.
Many moons ago I was the main guy responsible for support of an up and coming software company. When we started having some serious issues. To cut a long story short, I ended up averaging [...]
No…I will not call it Xmas just to satisfy the PC brigade…
Anyhoo, this is a story about the inimitable SP from many moons ago, it was the 2006 works Christmas party, and, not knowing any better we all tagged along.
Free food, free beer and something resembling free entertainment (Genius really, 90% English speaking contingent….entertainment all [...]
So, with some of the stories you have read on here, and certainly for some people that know me…you may think me to be a reasonably confident individual in all situations.
Not so, I have never been confident with public speaking or speaking with the ladies.
Now don’t get me wrong, I have managed to overcome these [...]
Well, I am back home and should be back online around the 16th of this month, a little while after they originally said, but not too bad I guess. It will give me the opportunity to get my apartment in order I suppose.
I had a hell of a week, but it was very enjoyable…I [...]
Had a great one yesterday at work. As I have said before, I run a Service Desk and this means that we are responsible for logging all user issues into a ticketing system.
Sometimes we fix them straight away, other times we have to pass them on to other teams. Yesterday, we transferred a [...]
I don’t recall the source, but someone is quoted as saying :
There are only two industries that call their customers users…think about that.
It’s a good point, and one that leads me to think that our users are, in fact, on drugs of some description..
Now, I run a Service Desk. It’s a relatively small team, [...]
So it would appear that, despite all evidence to the contrary, I am in fact Gods Gift.
Also, a vision. I am not sure if I would have preferred “A visionary gods gift” or “Gods gift to visionarys”, but you gotta admit, it’s pretty damned good.
Unfortunately, this does not mean that I have dropped the Fester [...]
