      How's your Friday going?

      It's a Friday before a long weekend, about as flipping good as it can. . .

        He obviously doesn't believe you can, maybe you should read him your resignation letter as proof.

            Well it went something like this:
            B:" why did they open another ticket for the same printer... did no one call them?"
            M: 'no I didn't, but its not the same printer."
            B; "how can you be so sure, It doesnt say anything about 2 printers."
            M; "Cause I can read. It says right here 'Cant connect printer to Aloha PC' and then 'Line printer needs swapped'.... "
            B:"oK"

            So now im thinking Oh Shit. That was dumb to say.. but it's the truth..

                  I've flat out called previous bosses and coworkers complete dumbasses, without holding back and still had my job. So long as you're in the right, and do it with the intent of not making the person feel like a dumbass, most people can understand why such strong wording is used.

                    I dont know any other way I could have said that at this point though.

                      It reflects poorly on you, not on them though. We are all at different levels of knowledge. A lot of the time I couldn't do their job (like surgeons that I interact with daily). We all have things we're good at and thing's we need to improve on. Have sympathy for other humans. Life isn't easy.

                        This I can agree with.
                        My only thing was He didnt even read the tickets that came in. He just started an attitude about " why are they opening another call for the same thing, and you guys arent doing your job and calling these people back.."
                        SO Yeah, I was a little testy with him this morning when all he does is complain about what we aren't doing at the moment and why we had 2 open tickets for the same site "with the same issue."
                        I wasn't trying to be an asshole (its just in my blood.)
                        So Just moving forward I guess, Know not to do that again, I guess.

                                Living the dream in the world of Windows Server Slowness.

                                Living in the dream in the world of Azure where everything is like Windows 95... Make a change, and reboot your VM, which takes somewhere beteween 5 and 15 minutes.

                                And the cost... Just... I can't even... [EDIT: Lots of Policticking involved above my pay grade].

                                Why you running VMs in Azure?

                                I imagine somebody higher up the totem pole heard the buzzwords "Cloud", "Azure", and "Microsoft" from the same person and they said, "Oh, we NEEEEEED this."

                                My boss is not happy about it at all, but they put some money towards it, so we have to use it at least for a couple more months. My boss is definitely interested in cloud-hosted stuff, but not with Microsoft, lol.

                                As to Why? It's hosting some stuff that integrates with our public web site (which will also likely wind up 'in the cloud' if things keep going the way they are now).

                                It wasn't a lot of Money, but my boss is tracking all our time for managing it and learning it to show the real cost of it. And the numbers ain't pretty at all... We spent 15 minutes waiting for a Server 2019 system to be restarted yesterday... I can't wait until the first Azure outage hits, lol.

                                I was thinking a lot of times, people spin up a VPS when they can actually go serverless. It's cheaper and more reliable, potentially.

                                Yeah. We have enough stuff here, that we could justify a full rack colo with our own gear and still come out light years ahead of the cost of what Azure would be.

                                We could probably use a VPS for quite a few things. We'll likely have some stuff in AWS for testing before the year is out as well.

                                That's not what I meant by serverless.

                                Interesting. I'll have to look into that.

                                      Paul just referred to Memorial Day Weekend's Friday Night as "amateur night". As in "amateur night for people to leave the house." Like amateur night in the most general sense possible, lol. Restaurants, bars, roads... all filled with the otherwise couch potatoes.
