Comcast outage here. Verizon is up at 5G

This ******* down the road, right at 7 in the morning when he's allowed to this wanker takes his noisy *** scooter bike for a joy ride. It should have been my right to sanity to shoot him with a bazooka on his way back home a few minutes later.

You have got to be kidding me..... the corp take over folks wanted me to go back to level 1 help desk and cover phones......and still do all my level 3 stuff and everything else I do too..... REALLY!!!!! the higher ups in the govt system told them....aaaaa no..... I need to get the heck out of this office.

Lucky someone was there to talk sense on your behalf, but now you are on thin ice if that support disappears.

Comcast back. Kudos for the automated system to confirm the outage without me having to fight to get to a person and the web site correctly estimating the restoral time.

Nope, not on thin ice at all, it just save me getting involved. I'm a govt employee and they are a private group. By Civil Service law they cannot supervise me. And my immediate supervisor who told them "no" will be retiring within a year. However his supervisor has already said that when my supervisor retires, I fall into his roll at this office (if I am still at this office). However I will not get his pay grade, but I will be doing his job. But they have already taken a lot of what he does.

Only thing corp can do is take away what I do and give it to someone else. But then my (govt) office could also say they do not need me at this location and move me to another location, also in the same area, could possibly even be in the same building.

That illustrates the value of government as a foil to uncaring, rapacious and destructive tendencies of large private businesses.

Could be somewhere warmer, too.

You would if you did not have the government protecting you and you had to do what the company told you or quit.

I hate having to submit my high school transcript. I barely graduated,and not only that it has my mug shots. Yes, plural, each year with what looks like a growing urge and desire to kill everyone.
At least two of them as someone who spent time in 90s as a teen, when music was at its best. People who say I'm too young can jump off a really cliff and land in the ocean.

Have you been promoted yet?

I've been rereading the first few of the Xanth series. In the third one, zombies are heros

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I'm sure I'll quickly move up. But I wanna stop at top stabber. I don't wanna be behind a desk not stabbing people. The more people I get to stab the happier I'll be. Amd happy workers are more productive workers. So I'll stab even more people. Which will make me happier. So I'll start yanking and shoving people in and out to stab even more people.

And if the titanic didn't hit the iceberg it wouldn't have sunk..... point being..I do work for the govt, so...it simply does not matter to m......and I am rather familiar with how things work outside of that...been working for over 40 years.... only the last 30 for gov.
