    They say it’s hard to make friends in your 30’s / 40’s.

    2 exceptions.

    1. Eating food at the dog beach…

    2. Federal emergency warning system.

    Also I managed to crack into a laptop I had trouble opening before. Turns out there were screws UNDER the rubber feet. I know companies do this sometimes but this is the first I encountered it myself, not great for repairability as they probably expect you to buy more rubber feet of them to replace the ones you ripped off.

    Reminds me of the dungeons in Elden Ring where you’d get stuck and it turns out the rest of the area is UNDER one of the lifts.

    Get to work, computer says no. IT says do this x 8. Don’t know, fuck it bring us the hardware. I foresee very little getting done today.

      Last time I came to work to no computers, (well no internet and no PoE phones), I identified the issue as the Network switches being down.

      I couldn’t call IT because the phones were down and I couldn’t email IT because the internet was down.

      (With my managers permission) I went into the Server room, identified the problem (20 year old UPS died) and fixed it. (Bypassed the UPS by connecting the racks directly to the GPOs).

      With computers back cup, I emailed IT what happened.

      Nek minit, The IT manager has complained to HR, claiming that we had compromised the business IT security and we must both be fired.

      We didn’t get written up, but the UPS still hasn’t been replaced 2 months later, the server room locks have not been changed and no one is allowed to turn the lights off.

      If we have a power outage, we need to wait for head office to send an IT tech out to flick the circuit breaker. If a contractor or Safety inspector comes out, they need to be escorted by an IT technician at all times.

      We have already failed a Fire Audit and the electricity bills are through the roof, but no one has called out the new IT manager for being a Dick.

      I’m looking forward to seeing what superpowers I get from the activation of my Covid chip. You don’t think I’ll miss out because I haven’t had a booster for a few years, do you?

        I think my dna has been irretrievably altered - I’m looking forward to seeing what new superpowers are unlocked for me.

      I’ve set a gentle alarm to go off a couple of minutes beforehand to remind myself… but except I’ll still jump through the roof when it happens!! I’m surprised by the amount of people who don’t know about it.

      That is very scary. The only explanation I can thing of is that govt. colluded with google to hack your phone over wifi.

        Nah, it can still make emergency calls, the 2pm beep test was on the emergency network. Part of the reason for the warning for people with secret phones.
