[13:41:37] <cmn32480> they hate me 'cuz I'm smarter than they are. I hate them because their failure to think causes me extra work.

[13:42:02] * exec ceremoniously passes an old shoe full of gil to cmn32480
[13:42:44] <cmn32480> 2 hours and 19 minutes on the phone with a bunch of idiots who had 2 weeks to test shit out and waited until 2 hours before they went live in the warehouse.
[13:43:08] <boru> That's probably one of the few things I like about my current gig -- not customer facing. I do, however, have to put up with moronic management...
[13:43:37] <janrinok> but look at the bright side, at least you didn't sprain your ankle
[13:43:47] <janrinok> ... again
[13:44:25] <boru> I did, actually. My boot hit my manager's arse with such force, whilst defenestrating him, that it caused me injury.
[13:44:56] <cmn32480> least you dind't break it like I did boru
[13:45:10] <boru> Steel toe caps, old chap.
[13:45:27] <cmn32480> yeah.. that doesbn't help when the ankle rolls\
[13:45:40] <janrinok> cmn32480 is just a wimp. All the scouts were fine, but cmn, oh no, he has to hurt himself
[13:45:47] <boru> Footwear with proper ankle support.
[13:46:12] <cmn32480> proper trail maintenance
[13:46:25] <janrinok> blame the ground, good idea
[13:47:10] <janrinok> do you get paid overtime for that, or is it all in the day's work?
[13:47:27] <cmn32480> breaking my ankle? I paid for that privilege
[13:47:52] <janrinok> no, for working yesterday evening
[13:48:20] <cmn32480> remains to be seen. I sent a VERY nasty emial to the salesrep and the VP of Service
[13:48:47] <boru> Sometimes a strongly worded email doesn't cut it; send them a pipe bomb instead.
[13:48:51] <janrinok> did you threaten to send him hiking with the scouts?
[13:51:03] <cmn32480> boru - I seriously considered that last night
[13:51:33] <cmn32480> I basically told the rep that this was the absolute last time this custoemr was going to get any support out of hours without a contract.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> THEY NEED TO GET BILLED FOR THIS. EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE 3 HOUR AFTER-HOURS CONFERENCE CALL FROM THE OTHER DAY WAS GETTING PAID EXCEPT US. LONNIE SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THAT 3 HOUR CALL AFTER HOURS COST THEM ABOUT $10,000, OF WHICH RMS DIDN’T GET A DIME. NOW I AM GETTING ON THE PHONE WITH THEM AT 10PM ON A &^*()%&^(%&*)ING SUNDAY! AND AGAIN WE ARE NOT GETTING PAID. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> IF THEY WANT A 24 HOUR SERVICE CONTRACT THEY CAN PAY FOR IT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> THIS IS THE LAST FREE AFTER HOURS SUPPORT THEY ARE GOING TO GET.
[13:53:03] <boru> I'd at least ask for a few days off to decompress if you're not going to get paid for it. That's downright wrong, man.
[13:53:06] <cmn32480> I was boiling pissed
[13:53:40] <boru> I try to read this once a month: https://gist.github.com
[13:53:40] <cmn32480> I'm hoping I can invoke the rnew rule that the customer is gonna get billed for the time, and the money comes direct to me via my expenses

[13:56:20] <janrinok> or feet, metres
[13:56:23] <cmn32480> that is what I was planning to do when the fuckers cornered me on the phone
[13:56:32] <janrinok> lol, now I hate them too
[13:57:16] <janrinok> let me know how you find the output of the -u option. As I say, I'm not very impressed with the failure rate
[13:59:28] <cmn32480> yeah.. I tried that on the version we were messing with the other day. some sites just shit the bed
[14:00:28] <cmn32480> phys.org was one of them.
[14:01:34] <janrinok> phys.org works well when used with the logs but doesn't like the -u option, yet the modules and code are one and the same ... I'll have to look at that again
[14:05:59] <janrinok> boru, that's an interesting read, thanks
[14:07:50] <boru> Yeah, it struck a nerve with me, since I've been burned in companies before.

[14:32:51] <cmn32480> it's almost tea time...
[14:33:00] <cmn32480> just a little spash in the afternoon tea
[14:33:25] <janrinok> oh, I'm drinking tea - that is sustenance for a Brit, not merely 'drinking'
[14:33:57] <cmn32480> do you use bags, or loose leaf?
[14:49:31] <janrinok> bags, but only because that is the only way the French seem to sell tea
[14:49:40] <cmn32480> interesting
[14:50:00] <cmn32480> I'm rather surprised, asctually
[14:50:08] <janrinok> the French idea of tea is diametrically opposed to the UK idea
[14:50:23] <cmn32480> but I guess that answers the question of "do you read your tea leaves?"
[14:50:46] <janrinok> I struggle to read IRC, tea leaves seems to be a bit beyond me

[15:06:34] <weeds> The story actual ran on NPR. I think it was last week.
[15:07:42] <janrinok> we received it as a sub in early September I think, but it only reached the top of the pile yesterday as the sub queues ran down over the w/e
[15:09:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> pointless jobs is a misnomer anyway. someone obviously sees point enough to pay people to do them.
