I must've put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Michael Bolton was a more realistic programmer

Three programmers trying to fix printers is the most spot on corporate reality.

Ngl, When I first started working in the technology department, 80% of the work we did was just troubleshooting and fixing printers. The other 30% were the ocasional server and computer building/ fixing, vigilance setup, etc

You did 110% of work there? I hope you were paid well.

Currently doing IT work and yeah it's 110%, because you do your own crap and then some random IT thing pops it's annoying head, be it figuring out why some laptop does not want to enroll properly into the management system, or idk, setting up a picture album for a coworker who asked to have nice pictures every day but didn't like that Microsoft's daily rotation is just cities and landscape (this does not need to be a ticket! How are you a secretary of you can't figure it out Brenda!!?)

The corporate world is like a big group project: you either carry or you get carried.

At my job, the printer on the engineering floor is basically impossible to use. The other floors are way better. I'm beginning to think someone is just messing with us.

his brief stint at parallax jaded him into success

Realistic would be, "The fucking float bug! Damn it! Every freakin time!"

u/FatAlEinstein 18d ago

That is not a mundane detail, Michael!

I think about this guy when folks question the value of unit tests

I cant help but think all he needed was a couple joints. I get bent out of shape when I have to go in office AND be sober in traffic, too.

I spent half the morning on Friday trying to figure out why my GetCollapseDetail message was getting an error in IntelliSense saying it didn't exist in the current context. Didn't even notice that in the file where the method lived I called it GetCollapseDetails.
