techrecoveryI have some of the denses users on the face of the planet. Their cranial density is grater then that of a nutron star, and approach a back hole from which clues get sucked into, and never return.
Direct from the email:
Can you please send out an email to the office when a system in unavailable such as email?
I would appreciate it, thanks!
(note: our email server crashed HARD yesterday. We had to cobble something togather in order to get it somewhere approaching the back up level.) I sent her a cute response:
In the instance of the email server being down, I paged everyone using the phone's built in paging function, seeing as the "usual" notification method (email) was unavailible. (note: our phone system has an paging function which broadcasts whatever you say to EVERY PHONE IN THE OFFICE, unless you have it set to DnD or something.)
And apparently, people just don't have a fricken clue how to use basic technology items, like fax machines. Or reading the bound paper manual that is included WITH THE FUCKING THING. But then, that whole site has turned into a cluster fuck of titanic proportions. First they wanted the computer by October 28th. We delivered, even though it meant pushing a different person back. I roll up, and not only is the office where it's going not done, there's no phone line, or even a table to put the damn thing on. I will admit that I madethe mistake of leaving it there, a mistake which shall not be repeated. I get a work order last week requesting that I drop a phone line in the cottage. one would have thought that they would have had the person who was putting drywall up in that room also have a phone line installed.... ::rolls eyes:: there's more, but this is getting longer by the second.
And people also don't understand that apparently, if you have a cable modem, it does not mean that you will always have instant access to anything you want. It's residential service, folks, It can (and usually does) go down when ever it wants, or it it thinks that you are running a P2P server ofr some other stupid chunk of software, even if you are not but the guy in the house next door is serving up live streaming TV to outer mongolia in full 2.5Mbps glory of his hampster eating it's own doots. Intermittent email outages are NOT MY PROBLEM. Try working instead of bothering me, or rebooting the machine. That at least makes me feel better...
Christ I'm pissy today.
