(no subject)

Being asked to come in at 6:30 in the morning all week right after coming back from vacation should be a crime. Doubly so considering I'm working my full "normal" shift.

Also, it'd be -really awesome- if, when the CEO and top exec. staff decide to have an offsite meeting over an hour away from the office, they tell IT about it? And not call us at noon on the day of and mention "Oh, yeah, we're down here and having some problems..." so we have to scramble while still trying to support the all hands sales training you're having in the main campus at the same time? (Which is why we've -ALL- been in the office at 6:30 each morning, since that starts at 7 every day this week and the salespeople are being...well...salespeople in terms of how much IT support they need...)

iShit

So, remember how we were told to order those iPhones, including the one for me to use for testing and so we could support them?

They arrived today!

Right while my boss was talking to the head of F&A....who immediately saw them in the box and said, "Who the fuck ordered those?" (I am not embellishing. That was exactly what she said.)

Boss: "$CEO, $CIO, $SVP, $SVP, $SVP, $VP, $DIR, $VP, and two for us to use for support."

VP F&A: "Oh, my ass they did. We bought Blackberry and they can keep them. Tape that box up, it's going to my office."

Where we're at now is that they're...locked in her office. After my boss discussed this with her, we're waiting for a final decision but the smart money is that many will probably be sent back, probably including mine. If I had to guess, we'll end up giving $CEO and $CIO their phones, and when it comes to support we will be expected to continue our current practice of understanding how to support and troubleshoot everything by fucking magic.

*sigh* Oh, well.
