Maybe YOU don’t need access to the server at 7am because you’re still at home in bed. HOWEVER, there are 15 people working in this office at 7am, and WE need access to our programs for various purposes that actually MAKE MONEY for the company. So either come in at 7am like the rest of us, or fuck off telling me I am not allowed to call tech support until I clear it with you. —going to start getting your lazy ass out of bed to get this shit FIXED

they don’t have an oncall model if they don’t have 24×7 support?
what’s the business continuity plan scenario state?
do companies really not think of these things?
it’s technology, it’s not infallible.
And if you HADN’T called tech support this person would’ve bitched because you got no work done.
With bosses like that, you can’t win! Trust me, I’ve had a bundle of ’em.
servered? haven’t heard that one before, do you mean severed? i can really help you out there friend.
He’s talking about a computer server which was probably down when it was needed to be accessed, LS.
*smacks forhead and shakes head in amazement that someone can be that dense*
shit p.k., i know he is talking about computers, just that i have never heard that term before. meltdown, overload, shutdown, glitch and a host of others, but not that one.smack head again, then i will kiss all the booboos.
It was a play on an old British comedy “Are You Being Served”, I think…
aaah yes. they still air it on pbs…loved the old lady’s changing hair colour
“Mrs. Slokum, are you free?”
“No, I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Grainger, but I must get home to wash my pussy. She’s terribly smelly after rooting through the trash bin this morning.”
haha…. i gotta check me out this show.
uh, no… trust me, you don’t.
It’s quite terrible if you aren’t over 50
well i’m almost 50 but the humour is dated lot’s of bawdy pussy jokes
worth watching for the kitchiness
PG’s right. I’m not quite 40, but have loved this show – the attempt at “innuendo” – since my early 20’s. If you’re into kitsch, it’s great.
*sigh* …
I retract my comment… though I was a mid-teenager when my friend’s parents would watch it so I really detested every second I was subjected to it.
that and the fucking dukes of hazzard.
I would rather watch an explicit, 8-hour oprah marathon discussing the pleasure and pain of childbirth than one more viewing of served or the dukes…
Funny show if you’ve ever worked retail.
