CanuckInUSA 0 #28 July 13, 2011 QuoteDon't piss off IT. Yes pissing off your IT support people is never a good idea. But what is even more important is, "Don't mess with the people who are serving you your food". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJEsNjH3JT8 Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrotech 0 #29 July 13, 2011 If you'd quit breaking the server, your email would still be working. Did you try restarting your computer 3 times? The problem is probably all the "crazy naked bitches" searches you're running. See, the Internet is a series of tubes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 3 #31 July 13, 2011 Quote Local, it's a weather thing. When it rains the servers go down. It's cool. Oh, well, then obviously it's your IT guys fault that they can't fucking control the weather. Quote And nah I went into google and tried to get rid of the filter but....nah no go. Wouldn't be a very useful filter if an engineer could figure his way out of it, would it? Quote IT guys are like Cops. You know you need them but you can't help but get pissed at them from time to time. "You can talk about us, but you can't talk without us!"The filters aren't the IT guy's idea 90% of the time. They come from the head shed who wants to know why they can't get on the video teleconference and the IT guy has to tell them its because 90% of the traffic is going to youtube and facebook. Howabout you just give them a fucking break and let them figure out/fix the issue? I'm sorry you can't get your emails from adultfriendfinder or your craigslist ad searching for the perfect woman, perhaps you should invest in a smart phone and have your emails sent there instead? I have a bit over 10 years in the industry, I've done everything from being the user, network admin, systems admin, software engineer, VOIP tech, cable dog, satellite systems team chief and now am a transmissions engineer for the DoD. I can honestly tell you, almost every single IT guy/girl I've ever worked with has wanted to keep their services up. Nothing fucks our day up faster than having the phone ring off the hook asking if the servers are down. You probably don't even think to talk to the IT guys unless there is something broken. Guess what? It's a thankless job, nobody has ever come up to me and said "Hey, the services have been 100% for the past 3 months with no unscheduled downtime, great job ski!" but I can't fucking count how many times I've heard "Is the shot down?? fix it now!" I suspect you have no fucking clue what goes on at the other end of that wire, and how much work is involved in keeping a system running. Ask any IT guy, it's not all fun and games when your company reputation is on the line, and it's much worse when I know that if I don't have the services at 100%, my friends could DIE. Shit breaks, nothing we can do about that other than try to prevent it and plan a redundancy. Get the fuck over yourself, you're not gods gift to anything, and you don't need to treat everyone that isn't what you want them to be like shit, saying they smell and talking about the food they eat."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 0 #36 July 13, 2011 Quote Quote Are you the only one having email issues or is it global? Local, it's a weather thing. When it rains the servers go down. It's cool. And nah I went into google and tried to get rid of the filter but....nah no go. Such is life. Got to do what you got to do. But it's allso good to vent a little. IT guys are like Cops. You know you need them but you can't help but get pissed at them from time to time. That's the URL filter disallowing a change to the safe search. It's set that way from the factory. The email servers aren't going down either. For whatever reason, the connection to them is. That does not mean the servers are down, they’re just not reachable. T o you they are down, the rest of the people using that email service, it’s working fine. I'm not like a cop but some things I'm not allowed to bypass. I can't fix a problem when it's not mine either. If the connection goes down due to weather, it's generally up to the ISP to sort it out. Your relationship with the IT folks may suck or they really do think they’re hot shit. You may also consider that looking up crazy bitches so you can post it on a website is wasting valuable company time, and searching for naked skinny girls is also wasting company time. That’s the reason the URL filter is left as is. Good luck and remember to flare at the correct altitude.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
