[18:17:29] * exec implicitly deletes a trunkload of splooge from mechanicjay
[18:17:58] <janrinok> have some splooge
[18:18:17] <mechanicjay> thats....unfortunate
[18:19:09] <janrinok> well, the splooge was being deleted, so it could have been worse I suppose
[18:20:01] <mechanicjay> true enough
[18:20:09] <janrinok> how's things?
[18:20:38] <mechanicjay> not bad, just got through a big upgrade
[18:20:48] <mechanicjay> only fucked it up minorly
[18:21:03] <janrinok> everything straight forward or were there problems
[18:21:05] <mechanicjay> was able to straighen it out before my outage window ran out
[18:21:13] <janrinok> ninja'd
[18:21:48] <mechanicjay> I left the production login button pointing back to the test environment...whoops
[18:22:00] <janrinok> oops indeed
[18:22:01] <mechanicjay> other than that, it was fine
[18:22:48] <janrinok> that must be worth having a beer for at some point today
[18:22:53] <mechanicjay> I'm pretty much done with system prep for next quarter and it's only the 2nd day of break.
[18:23:37] <janrinok> 'break' suggests a time of not working - as opposed to upgrading systems ... :~)
[18:23:54] <mechanicjay> yeah, the students get a break, staff works extra hard when no one is here
[18:24:06] <janrinok> lol - nothing has changed then ...
[18:24:11] <mechanicjay> our quiet time is actually in the middle of the academic cycle.
[18:24:41] <mechanicjay> things are humming along and everyone else is too busy working to bother me with little annoyances.
[18:25:45] <mechanicjay> That does remind me though, I need to chase central IT on an access request.
[18:25:47] <mechanicjay> :(
[18:26:17] <janrinok> access for you or for someone else?
[18:26:56] <mechanicjay> access for a client cert so I get at some institutional data
[18:27:52] <janrinok> k
[18:28:09] <mechanicjay> I have a full view into students, but no view what-so-ever into employees. I'm writing thing to proactively expire local accounts, but I have no way of knowing if a person is still affiliated with the university or not, only our program.
[18:28:39] <janrinok> do you foresee any problems?
[18:29:10] <mechanicjay> The tool is basically written, just need to get them to assign ACLs to my client.
[18:30:08] <mechanicjay> There's a regular process for this, I submitted the webform a few days ago, and haven't heard anything.
[18:30:48] <janrinok> they're probably all partying ...
[18:31:20] <mechanicjay> I have a few days blocked out to finish this thing up....I hate to waste that time on SN while I wait for them to finish their egg-nog ;)
[18:32:25] <mechanicjay> I'm actually using the telephone
[18:32:58] <janrinok> telephone - you are _so_ high tech!
[18:41:41] <mechanicjay> I think the guy I'm talking to is stoned or something.
[18:42:31] <mechanicjay> I love it when you call the helpdesk and you know more about the service you're having an issue with than they do.
[18:43:03] <mechanicjay> I made the mistake of going through the general number instead of contacting one of the folks I know on the identity management team.
[18:43:10] <mechanicjay> oh well./
[18:46:54] <janrinok> he's probably partying as I suggested before - a toke, a pizza, some beer, and then the bloody phone rings!
[18:47:12] <cmn32480> incosiderate people who call at a time like that!
[18:48:02] <mechanicjay> But its not even lunch time yet! At least leave the tokes till afternoon!
[18:48:28] <cmn32480> depends.. cold be 4:20 in India
[18:48:36] <cmn32480> unless your support is local
[18:48:49] <janrinok> is that an unwritten rule?
[18:49:23] <mechanicjay> Large State University, one of the last hold-outs against out-sourcing everything under sun.
[18:49:25] <cmn32480> no

[19:09:38] <mechanicjay> dude helpfully made a new ticket about my missing ticket.
[19:10:26] <boru> I don't envy you fellas.
[19:10:41] <boru> (Having to interface with {customers,lusers,humanity})
[19:10:45] <mechanicjay> ...yeah
[19:10:54] <mechanicjay> whats your secret boru?
[19:14:25] <boru> I am a curmudgeon engineer. I work so far away from customers that people probably aren't sure where the machines end and the human begins.
[19:15:02] <boru> I speak my mind, so I tend to avoid being put near people outside the company.
[19:15:03] <mechanicjay> so, like you're plugged into the matrix?
[19:15:24] <boru> Not quite, I just work far away from any customer facing position.
[19:15:36] <mechanicjay> yeah, speaking your mind is not tolerable almost anywhere in the workplace.
[19:15:41] <boru> The depths of engineering.
[19:16:16] <boru> Indeed. My colleagues find meetings entertaining to say the least.
[19:16:32] <boru> Though I largely manage to avoid meetings altogether these days.
[19:17:46] <cmn32480> WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!!
[19:17:53] * cmn32480 falls to his knees in worship
[19:18:44] <boru> I posit that it's the other way around -- I don't know how you fellas deal with other humans daily.
[19:18:50] <boru> I've be climbing the clock tower.
