Got fellow employees that do stupid things?

 

Post it here..

 

 

mine for today, Not 1 but 7 people emailed me to tell me that the email server was down last week.....

 

 

no phone calls, no getting off their fat ass and walking to my office, they all sent me an email to inform me the email server was offline..

 

then over 2 hours later came to bitch at me because I had not fixed it yet.. and to tell me they sent me an email on it and why didn't I reply..

 

 

 

for the record I already knew the server was offline and fixed the issue within about 3 minutes, however it required them to restart their email client to reconnect, there was a post put on the Intranet webpage about it, and a global "Page" over the phone system..

Today's funny:

 

Last week we installed a VoIP phone in the house of an employee that is going to be working from home..

 

it's a nice little toy, we have a VoIP system in-house, so we program one of the VoIP phones with the external IP settings, he plugs it into his home network/cable modem router and bingo, he has an internal extension at his house, and can make/receive calls as if he was sitting in the office.

 

I drove out to his house and set it all up, everything was working fine, and has been for the past week..

 

This morning he called me from that phone via inter-office extension to complain that the phone wasn't working, and that he could not hear the person on the other end..

 

I attempted to explain that if this was true how was he talking to me, but he insisted that the phone was not working correctly and he could not hear anyone else and that it only worked because it was me on the other end and if anyone else picked up it would not work.

 

He continued to tell me that he believes I am possessed because whenever he has an issue with an electronic device it works fine for me, but then 5 minutes later it doesn't work for him again.

 

I've tried explaining to him it's a simple problem known as PICNIC, but he doesn't agree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PICNIC = Problem in Chair, Not in Computer.

Haha... some people. I could go on for hours about my co-workers. I work for the railroad and i am on call all the time and same with my neighboring maintainer unless we mark off. Well he met a girl and for the past 9 months has been gone just about every weekend and leaves me and or foreman to take care of his bull shit because during the week he doesn't do crap either. So needless to say i am sick of his stupidity and not taking his job serious especially cause we deal with the safety of the public and fellow employees. And thats just one of many issues i have with him and i won't even get started on the guy that works on the other side of me.

Had a co worker maybe 10 years ago that was always messing with me (and others)... It was getting to the point I dreaded going to the office if he was going to be in (loud and obnoxious, even when he was not messing with things).

 

I had enough one day and noticed he had "shared" his "c drive" on his laptop computer. I quickly wrote a simple bat file and put it in his startup file. All it did was run a long directory listing to a file (appending, not replacing). Each day, that file grew larger and since it was named something clever to appear as system file, he did not suspect it. As he starting running out of disk space, he would clean up his hard drive and remove programs, then it would fill up again, he would remove something else.

 

I laughed to myself everyday and enjoyed going to the office, even if he was loud and obnoxious. Then when he had deleted almost everything, I told him what I did and if he ever messed with me again, I would cause him many more problems. technology is your friend or enemy (I was also the network focal for the office and could have caused him other problems, but the bat file was easy). He is still obnoxious but has not bothered me since.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
