I like our old trader.
"Welcome to prop trading. You're either fucking someone over or getting fucked over. You get fucked over too much, we fire you. Always be the fuckor, not the fuckee."
One of our customers is using some janky chat client that does video, voice, file sharing, etc. and they wanted to know if their two customer service guys here could have it installed on their machines. Looked at the app, it's fine, I don't have any issues with it. But for the fucking life of me, it will not connect. We've fiddled with our firewall settings and at one point temporarily set everything open and still no dice. I decided to try it from home and it installed just fine, not a single issue.
"Unfortunately, no. We're not able to instal that particular chat client onto our CS rep's computers. It lacks the security we require while conducting business online. If you'd like, I can recommend some enterprise level chat programs that are more secure."
"Unfortunately, no. We're not able to instal that particular chat client onto our CS rep's computers. It lacks the security we require while conducting business online. If you'd like, I can recommend some enterprise level chat programs that are more secure."
our IT department just goes "look customer service rep, you can install it yourself and try to get it to work, but we are not supporting it, as it is not required software to do your business."
which is fine, but it's also their excuse for not upgrading to windows 7. everyone is still on XP.

I quite literally opened a computer with xp and started one program.
There is a salesman who refuses to upgrade Office past 2003. The Office 2007/2010 compatibility tool stopped opening more recent files on his computer, so he has other people open them, and convert them to an Office 2003 format.
He is going to be very upset when his computer is finally replaced an has Office 2010 installed. We no longer have 2003 in any form.

interview went rather well
i had a panic attack just before i went in but managed to keep it under control
I think it's probably because my work computer needs don't extend past MS Word and PowerPoint that the Core 2 Duo, 1gb ram and discrete ATi card running XP on dual 1920 x 1024 monitors works just fine for me. Of course, if i was running some engineering programs or anything else intensive I could see why a setup like mine would be like pulling teeth
Our entire environment here is XP/2003. I have until the end of June to migrate our users to 2010. Should be fun, this office has a decent amount of luddites that abhor any sort of change. After that we will work on changing over to windows 7. Right now I have two VMs one XP and the other window's 7 for testing. The problem is getting our traders upgraded, thankfully our entire environment is virtualizated. No physical PCs only thin clients, so if someone's machine shits the bed, just a matter of assigning them a new one through mgmt console
Because at some point we got a legit installer for X number of workstations and oh hey it doesn't do any kind of license check so it can literally be installed on all workstations ever and is.
Few people who can benefit from Office 2010 have it. It's decent.

all of our databases are excel spreadsheets
At my last job, the sales people had an Excel spreadsheet stored on a server share. We would get calls once a day or so with a complaint that the program would lock up.
It was Excel attempting to autosave the few gigs of data over the network.

Well done to both of you. That is pretty much the pinnacle of data inaccuracy and slowness. Maybe store the data in an XML format within excel, if you need extra room to breathe.
The users refused to break up the one large file into smaller files.

I worked for a PhD Chemist that didn't realize that an excel file can have multiple worksheets. He saved each file as a single worksheet, even if he was carrying over calculations and data from one to another. The logic loops that came from his changes in one and the effects on others actually opened up a hole in space-time over the work site.

Guess who's got two thumbs and after opening the fridge and trying to catch an errant rolling soda can dropped his pyrex container of lunch food on the ground having it shatter all over the place as soon as lunchtime rolled around?

That was painful.

They called yesterday, and want me to come in to meet the CEO and talk turkey.
The HR lady is out today, so I'll email her, and call on Monday.
Here's hopin' they don't lowball the salary.
