illcommunications

Well, it’s been a few weeks at my new job and I’m loving it.

I recently spoke with a friend of mine who happens to be an IT sales person that I dealt with at my old job. They informed me that my old employer was talking shit. A small word to people: don’t talk shit about people to other people that you don’t know. That person may just be the former employees friend. Anyways, I am sure those fucking fags are looking for a new IT person right now. If your in the Nashville area looking for a job steer clear of them. I won’t say who they are, but they are a Centurion level travel agency (whatever the fuck that means). Plus, the pay is so shitty you will beat yourself for it after putting up with all the bullshit. E-mail me if you need to know who they are. I will gladly help any readers out.

Now, let me get my shit talking on. That was one of the worst places I ever worked in my whole fucking life. I would have rather spent that time in Iraq dodging bullets day in and day out. Their “IT director” is a huge fucking joke, not to mention a psychopathic bitch. They have no business in the position they are in considering they barely know how to turn on a computer let alone use a laptop. I have never seen someone cry (literally) about so much petty shit in my fucking life. The bitch needs some damn prozac or something. If shit is so bad you have to cry and pity your fucking self all the damn time, why don’t you just off yourself? Save yourself and everyone around you the fucking headache. I’ve never been asked to do as much absurd shit as I was when I worked for these sorry fucks. Reader’s please don’t let the their name fool you. They may have endorsements from a large financial institution, but I can asure you that you can get anyone to endorse you as long as you pay them every year and know how to suck a good dick. I’m not saying that’s what they do, but I am just basing my assumption off of things that I witnessed while I was employed there. Anyways, I hope that place burns to the fucking ground and I also wish cancer upon the owners. Fucking faggots.

If someone from that employer is reading: Strong arming people into doing what you want aren’t always the best business tactics. I’ve gotten a little further by just being nice most of the time.

Note: These are just my opinions. Notice, I did not use any names. If you have a problem with anything written here or want me to remove certain things, write me a letter and then take the letter and goto the post office and FUCK YOURSELF with it.

I just started my new job on Wednesday. I think everything is going to be alright from here on.

I was originally supposed to start this upcoming Monday, but I told my old employer to take the 2 week notice I gave them and fuck theirselves with it. Conveniently my new employer asked if I could start a little earlier so I could spend some time with my predescessor.

I got to enjoy a little bit of time off, which I spent getting a driver’s license and new plates on my vehicles. Getting a driver’s license in Nashville is a huge pain in the ass. When it came time to get plates it seemed there were no lines any where. The state was happy to take your money.

So I’ve spent 3 days so far at my new job. I think I’m going to turn out just fine here. I get along with everyone. Everyone is so relaxed and we can kind of just chill. We took a field trip yesterday to the data center where alot of our servers are housed. It was pretty cool since I have never been in a data center in the civilian world. I’m glad that there are other geeks there since they actually have a real IS department instead of one guy doing 6 jobs. It feels kind of nice to be able to hang out with my own kind for once.

This has been a huge relief for me. My last job was my first job in the civilian sector and it left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s nice to see that not everyone fits into the corporate american grind way of work. I’m a huge believer that employees will be happier and stay longer if they can have a decent work/life balance. You just can’t work the piss out of someone for over 10 hours a day and then wonder why they aren’t happy or want to quit.

I just realized the job, I was so hyped up about starting, fuckin’ sucks. I am just now reaching the end of my 90-day probational period. If I knew 10% of what I know about these people now I would have passed on the offer a million times. Anyways, lets put together a little list of reasons to start looking again.

1. Any company that makes employees put all their business expenses on their personal credit cards doesn’t give a rat’s ass about them.

2. Any company that makes it’s employees pay for the insurance on company provided cellphones and blackberries can fuck a goat.

3. An employer claims they pay for part of the employees medical benefits and then once your hired and make your elections you notice the price for health insurance alone is $256 every two weeks. How much are they paying? 3 cents?

4. An employer makes you work 3 weekends in a row and then you need part of a day off and they make you take it without pay. Not to mention you are a salary employee.

5. An employer uses you to fix employees’ personal computers because they make good money for the company. I don’t give a fuck if they make a bangin’ baloney sandwich. Tell them to call the fuckin’ GeekSquad.

6. You bring forward a proposal letting the employer know that the IT department is severely undermanned and they tell you they will keep acquiring new offices and you will be the single-handed IT department forever. I was told I could bring a friend in for contracting when needed. I asked “At what rate?”. They reply “$15 an hour”. Where can you find an IT consultant for $15 an hour and how do they survive?

7. Your employer wants to keep brand spankin’ new equipment as backup and use the old shit until it craps out. Where is the common sense it that? Let the new shit go obsolete just to get every last penny out of your Pentium 3 800mhz? Use the god damn old shit as a backup. Hell, computers are so cheap now days just order on overnight if it’s that much of a concern. We work a fucking mile away from Dell’s shitty shipping facility.

8. Your company’s gay owner needs a new laptop so you spec one out for him and he needs 7 different choices so he can pick the prettiest one. I’m not going to order you some bullshit. This is business class not some pink and yellow piece of shit laptop that we can’t get parts for tomorrow.

9. Contractors and consultants come to do work and warn you of how fucked up and how much they hate the company you work for.

10. Your told to do something and then your 10 bosses want to change every fucking detail of the damn project all the way until it’s time to actually execute it.

The network administrator before me should have left some kind of text file or something on one of the servers notifying me of the fucked up-ness of this piece of shit they call a company. No wonder she left after only being here for 3 weeks. I will make sure I leave some clues for the next network administrator.

I’m starting to get tired of talking about DHL. They fucked me over earlier this week and the fuckers got me again today. We were expecting to receive a fax/printer from Dell. We payed for overnight shipping and the shit never showed up. It shipped on Monday night. This is fucking bullshit 50 god damned dollars and here we are on the 3rd day. Our Dell rep gave us a bullshit excuse that they have until the end of the day to deliver it. Well, guess what, fuck head? It’s still not here at the end of Wednesday. He said he was going to get with customer service to get the package tracked down. I said fuck him and called customer service myself. Customer service called DHL and said that the package got lost. How the fuck do you lose a package when it only needs to be delivered 2 fucking miles down the damn road? I argued and got our 50 dollars back and got another printer shipped. Can’t these retards get anything right?

On another note, I had to do something about this ASAP as we had been without a fax since Monday. I was tempted to take the saved $50 and buy a rinky dink piece of shit fax to hold it down, while we waited on the dicks I mentioned above. I ended putting an old computer in place of the fax and configured the Windows XP fax console to receive the incoming calls. Management was pissed because we still didn’t have our printer from Dell, but I still came out on top with some mad mcguyver skills.

Fuck DHL and Dell. Although, I am still very pleased with the Vostro.

Apparently the IT people before me didn’t know what the fuck they were doing. Either that or they were just un-organized as hell. There are shares all over the damn network. Nobody knows where any of the software is. People have permissions to shit they don’t need. I guess I have a lot of work ahead of me. Oh well, I actually enjoy tweaking everything to my standard. Makes me look busy and shit. Once everything is on autopilot I can just chill out and fuck off. Plus you end up looking like god and shit because you pulled them out of a huge mess. None of the IT people before me stayed longer than a few months. I hope there isn’t a bad reason for that. I heard that my predecessors were just in over there head. I ended up running into a lot of consumer grade networking equipment today. I’m planning on replacing it with business class shit. I probably have about 6 months of work stacked on me at this point. At least, I’m getting paid what I think I’m worth. Not much use in complaining about why or who screwed it up. We just need to fix it.

I just wanted to jump on here and hate on this organization. I though it would be a cool place to work when I was searching for a job. I sent them my resume and received a call back to schedule an interview. During the interview I was asked how I felt about working with and for women. I told them I didn’t mind because as far as I know we are all suppose to be equal. The next question asked me what my stance was on racism. What?!?! I am made up of two races and it’s easy to tell. I told them that I don’t tolerate it and that it’s everyone’s responsibility to report it. Then they kept pestering with questions about whether I am violent or not. I was about to start acting like a straight up jack ass in the interview, but I sincerely did want the job. I’ve noticed they reposted the job, so they’re obviously not going to hire me. Now, thinking back, I should have went buck the fuck postal up in there. While I was in there I got the feeling that they wanted to hire a woman for the position. I can understand, it being the YWCA and all, but god damn!! They made me feel like a straight up piece of shit. I love women, I’m married to a woman, but these bitches were some straight up racist, man-hating, whores. In summary, they made me feel very uncomfortable and now I wish for them to get cancer.

I emailed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to see whether I should file a complaint or not. The YWCA is full of lies and false hope while the directors steal money that should go to needy women.

Don’t you hate it when your bosses think you don’t ever do anything? If you are a system/network administrator you probably know how this feels. Well, my bosses are straight up assholes. Every time they pass you through out the day they always have some smart ass comment about how I never do any work. They don’t ever think about the nights I spend at the office while they are chilling out at home. Those servers don’t upgrade themselves. They don’t ever think about how they’re able to check their email and surf the internet at break time. The way I see it is if I have nothing to do that means I have every thing on lock. If I’m getting my hustle on that means something must be fucked up. I also hate how all my research online to better our system always gets referred to as “screwing around on the internet”. I try to do the best I can to better the network and it never gets seen. I’m not looking for a pat on the back or anything. I just don’t want to hear some smart ass comment when I’m walking through the fuckin’ hall. I don’t need it. I make sure everything is always backed up, bandwidth is optimized, and all my users are protected. I’m always able to fix your busted ass machine whenever you fuck it up. I always act polite, and never take out my anger on my users. I give advice to help people with their home computers. I have even worked on some peoples personal computers on my time. What the fuck else do these people want? I don’t ever see anyone in the office at 2am on a weekend. Most times I don’t even take comp time. I treat the system like it was my damn child, and I have to hear some asshole’s “your always fucking off” comments.

Next time you think about giving your company IT geek some bullshit “you need something to do?” comment think about who takes care of your information. Who comes in on their days off to take care of outages. Who spends nights at the office to perform upgrades. Who backs up all the company’s vital information. Who makes sure your able to talk to the world. Who comes to the rescue when your computer is acting up.

Don’t you hate those mother fuckers that always find the bad in things you do and just nag you about it? Today this bitch ass manager called me and complained about an item that was missing on some bullshit document that I was asked to put together. Instead of telling me the errors so I can correct them he calls and tells me about how sloppy I am because one thing was missing. I answer the phone and the first thing I here is ‘your starting to get sloppy’. What kind of fucking bullshit is that? This same person always talks down to everyone as if he has no faults himself. I think of myself of having some kind of level of class in the work place. Therefore, I didn’t say anything defensive and simply noted the error. I corrected the error and resubmitted the document. So this dick head emails me back CCing my manager as well as the head manager pointing out the flaws in the original document. Fuck that bitch. That’s why everyone left the area he was sitting at during a recent company gathering. Treating someone like a bitch is no way to get anything done. Meanwhile, he takes my corrected document and marks his shit head name allover it and submits it to the higher ups, stealing all my credit. I believe in karma so that bitch will get his eventually. These are reasons people go fucking postal at work. Every time something is a little out of place he has to belittle you about it. Unprofessional! I’ve seen this person do this to several of my coworkers. If you confront him he will deny it, or say your blowing it out of proportion. All I ask is to be treated with respect. I have no problems admitting or fixing errors caused by me. Just don’t throw a fucking bitch fit and tell me all the shitty things about me to get something done. All this does is make me want to avoid you. I never acted like a dick when this person asked me for personal computer advice or even called me at home at night to walk him through some simple computer problem their friend’s computer has. Don’t ask me for any fucking favors if your going to act like a straight up asshole. This isn’t the first time I felt disrespected by this person either. Every god damn fuckin’ time I interact with this narcissistic fat bitch he has to either belittle me or make some smart ass comment. Nobody’s fucking perfect not even your bitch ass, get over it. I don’t let you know every time you fuck up. I don’t ask you smart ass questions just to make myself feel better. People like this probably are the pussy in their home relationship (man or woman). So they come to work and try to whore themselves out as the baddest mother fucker on the block. NOBODY LIKES YOU, they only respect you cause of your position, not your character. I would never shit on someone at work because I needed them to correct something or they’re messing up. There’s a right way to do everything. Just let a mother fucker know what’s up. Don’t piss them off. So for the people I described above. GO FUCK YOURSELF. Everyone hates your guts and would like to see you die.

Earlier this week I decided to do a little packet sniffing because we’ve been having some bandwidth issues. I spliced into the network with an old hub, between our router and gateway. I fired up ethereal on my laptop and started capturing packets. As I suspected, there were quite a few people streaming audio and video. There was also someone going buck wicked on some porn action too. Kinda funny, I started capturing at around 2pm and at 3pm is the companies designated break time. At 3pm they took a break and then picked up with their porn action when break was over. I let my manager know what the deal is and we put out a memo to all the users restating that that shit ain’t cool. I didn’t single out anyone but they know who they are. Someone from management came to me and admitted that they had been to said sites in the past. I told them it wasn’t them that I logged. Good thing about it is now I have a 1up on management.

I plan on doing some more packet sniffing from time to time as this is the only warning they will get.

Moral of the story is plead the fizifth.

Well I guess I’m going to get started on the MCSE exams. I figured I would start out with the Security+ exam that way I can kill 2 birds with one stone or some shit. I think I should be able to just go in and take the Sec+ straight up without much studying.

In other news, I have to go out to one of the field sites at work to check the versions of software the systems are running on. I already know what versions they are running on, but the retards in management don’t believe me. I guess I’ll just have to confirm that they are idiots. Why is it people that have nothing to do with computers or IT in general think they know everything about computers? I hate those son of a biznitches. Hopefully I won’t have to deal with them in this new contract. I pretty much made up my mind that either they’re leaving or I am. I can’t stand this po-dunk redneck town anyways. This will give me a chance to get the fuck out of this place. I don’t know why I even came up here.
