6Foot2 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 Does that mean I can go home now? Sure, why not? Obligatory disclaimer: While this is my opinion, it may not reflect the reality of the situation for you. 1
unixman_again Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Just been contemplating the winter solstice. So, the sun is coming back! Great, I hate the dark It only comes back when they remember to turn it on in the first place. Once again today, they forgot!
fiza Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 It only comes back when they remember to turn it on in the first place. Once again today, they forgot! Isn't that your job as IT Support? 1
Koldov Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Isn't that your job as IT Support? Only if it has a plug... 2
Koldov Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Might be PoE! So there's a plug on the switch it's connected to...?
jmak Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 So there's a plug on the switch it's connected to...? I thought everything was wireless nowadays. Why do we still have such outdated kit?
Koldov Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Maybe its a cosmic IT tech - turning it off and on again - it just takes him about six months (things move slow in the universe... or is that just relatively (relativity?) speaking)! Unbelievable the way some teachers complain, you'd think they'd feel lucky I get 'most' things sorted out much quicker! Edited December 21, 2018 by Koldov
