"Also, guess who controls access to the replacement printer ink cartridges."

@xxce2AAb @MattW03 If your IT department has their own room, I hope you are using toner.

Nuts. Have you seen what laser color printers cost? We need that part of the budget for the IT department's new 5080's, which we need for, uh, AI modelling of our future infrastructural requirements. Yeah, that.

Maybe if y'all would actually close tickets once an eon we wouldn't skip it. I left IT because it was full of some of the laziest SOBs in existence

It’s been a minute but every place I have worked that had tickets had a weekly round table meeting to cover the ones you have had open for more than a week.

Sounds like you maybe had bad managers.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but laziness is its dad. And it's gonna fuck invention's mother so hard.

Back when I was in it someone pointed out that I will avoid doing a tedious task so hard that I will spend days or weeks automating something instead of just doing it.

But my problem's pretty easy it'll only take you like five minutes to fix it so can you do it right now?

The new IT, while it's good on its own, I think choosing its art over the original is a disservice to Tim Curry. That man is a national treasure.
