    Someone please remove Ariana Grande from my head

    Physically, if necessary

    I've heard chewing gum helps remove songs from your head. Unless you mean like the actual person in which case do whatever pete davidson did.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Rules of Mugger Club

    - No mugging muggers
    - Bring your own mug
    - Don’t just leave it in the sink with old coffee in it
    - Wash your mug, Brenda, this isn’t a hotel
    - Be mean

    You forgot the first two rules.

    I just tried to explain to "Dave" why he couldn't do the thing with the VPN that he was trying to do and he got really confused.

    I had to just stop the conversation to keep from getting excessively and obviously contemptuous

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I asked IT about the DNS thing and they explained that there’s really only 4 digits to remember because the location code at the start is the same and the bit at the end describes the OS and processor architecture and that should be easy enough. Just four digits isn’t so hard to remember, right? Patronizing smile. Have a nice day!

    YEAH. I GUESS. CAN YOU TELL I AM STILL UNHAPPY BECAUSE THIS POLICY IS HIDEOUS AND USER UNFRIENDLY.

    I wish I could get IT to explain why they removed all our one button links and hid access behind a remote terminal connection to ensure it takes way longer to do discreet tasks now.

    The problem with that though is nobody would believe whatever answer they gave because they have a history of, essentially, lying.

    Bah, got a decent chunk of writing done yesterday, and a whole bunch of nada today.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    There's a problem where I'm pretty sure there's no product for adding CNAMES like that, anything off the shelf with a gui for editing them will be assuming you're a network admin.

    A standalone user-self-service CNAME editor is something you'd need to make inhouse.

    So, *sad trombone*

    I don’t know but I resent having to write “-1064” at the end of me PC’s name for no particular reason.

    Also the other 4 digits have no meaning whatsoever, I was wrong, they aren’t part of or a hash of the MAC. Techs type them randomly when setting up machines and try again when there’s a collision so they don’t even keep count of anything.

    This whole policy is bullocks.

    I can't say I haven't bullshitted with people before.

    Especially ones who swear they want to know the exact details but then the exact details sound like "an excuse."

    I've also had people straight up lie about what I said to them when things they wanted didn't go their way.

    So I'm kind of sensitive about this. People lie to tech support/IT all the time, day in day out, and then wonder why a solution can't be found.
