That seems pretty reasonable to me! I'd love a toaster on my desk.

Another bell-cheese (or should that be bell-paneer) customer last night:
cust: we cannot connect to our device
me: I've checked it. your interface is set wrong. If I change it from 10gig to 1gig it comes up.
cust: our technician has changed the cable
me : no. your interface is set wrong. you need to set it to 10gig
cust : kindly send a technician
me : right. I have set it to 1gig. In 2 hours I will set it back to 10gig
<a hour passes>
cust : we can see our device now.
me : I know. I have set it back to 10gig, please modify your settings to get it working correctly.
cust : It has gone down again. kindly set it as it was before
<sets it back to 1gig>
cust : this is still faulty, we can only pass 1gig.
me : AAAAAARRGGGHHHHHHH !!!!

A Speed / Duplex mismatch. It's why 90% of IT shit doesn't work properly. Talking Bens Grandad through it would take approximately 3 weeks 2 days and 5 hours.

In simple terms its the way everyone sings and claps too quickly to the music during GOSBTS causing it to go horribly wrong.

No wonder the customer wanted you to send a technician. Or at least someone who could translate gibberish into english

Too many eels in my hovercraft, maybe?

I’m with the customer on this one. You don’t work for Virgin Media by any chance do you?

The customer ordered a 10 gig service because they want to pass up to 10 gig of data. Common sense would tell you that if you've set your kit to 1 gig, it isn't going to pass 10 gig.
This isn't consumer broadband.

To be fair, I read it 2 or 3 times before getting what you were on about and I am in networking. It's just your wording could have been a bit better which I am sure was different when talking directly to them.

Does anyone elses company have the dreaded 'huddle boards'?
Where every day every team (we have about 20) have to get up in front of their own team board and talk through the succeses and issues of the day, followed by a huddle review with questions like 'was everyone standing and paying attention (No), did everyone contribute (No).
Complete waste of 15 minutes for everyone concerned.

As someone who likes as little interaction with fellow team members as possible it's particularly painful when having to go through the daily issues (same as yesterday), and plans for the coming day (same as yesterday).

Please say its not just my company? Actually I was visiting my father in law in hospital last week and saw they had huddle boards as well!

'Comm Cells' (cell being the operative word) at my place.
Pointless ****. Sounds eerily similar to your daily experience.

Too much sense to do it weekly or as a need creates and call it something radical like, oh I don't know, a...meeting?

Wow so glad I work from home, if this is starting to on in offices. It sounds like my worse nightmare.

Even our our place doesn’t do that. FFS.

They even give marks out of 10 for the huddles now!

Just let me get on with my job and get back to monthly team meetings where we all sit down and eat biscuits.

That sounds like a ****ing nightmare. I’d leave if I were you. No way I could put up with that shite.

Oh I really like my job and my boss is great. I'm sure when the new big boss comes in he will scrap them and take credit for saving 15 minutes in everyone's day!
