    You’re obviously not working in IT ops.

    Tomorrow I’m donning a black robe and walking down to the server room with a newborn lamb and a knife. The gods of the rack shall have their sacrifice and I will beg for their mercy during these two weeks.

        No updates on a Friday. No updates in the week before Christmas.

        These are the rules. You deserve everything that is coming.

          We all know that rules are written in blood. Mostly the victim’s.

          Some, the offender’s.

        Regardless of the time of year everyone knows you don’t push updates out on a Friday. If you have the same piece of code and one of them is pushed out on Wednesday and the other is pushed out on Friday, only the one pushed out on the Friday will have any bugs.

    Things have been a 2024 problem for a few weeks now. The joys of working with hardware, lead times are far longer than software.

      Somebody told me yesterday that we’ve run out of toner. Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

        Oh but that’s even more fun. Order it, delivery will be attempted at a closed office, and the toner will enter delivery limbo for a week, or eternity. But, you DID get it on order!

    Where I work we have six managers. Only one of them is in and she’s already said she has no idea what’s going on.

    The thing is there could be major problems that need resolving but no one knows about them.

    When I arrived at work, the office was still closed. I waited in the car for half an hour for a coworker with a key to show up. And I’ll have to ask him if he is still around after lunch to let me back in again…

    You don’t work in healthcare. Half your coworkers are on vacation and patients aren’t 😭
