We've got a team of 22 that do our monitoring, respond and do basic investigation of alarms, look after customer's servers and the data centres. Today for no obvious reason they decided they no longer do basic investigation of alarms, don't call and just escalate tickets.

"We haven't got enough staff" they moan. We are a team of 2, but somehow we do have enough staff to handle all the day to day ops work AND pick up tiny little alarms. Go figure.

There's 4 of us on a rota here on the helpdesk and whoever is on the 8:30 shift is supposed to log the calls/emails as they come in. I keep a close eye on the inbox anyway and usually note that nobody ever logs anything. Today it's kicked off again about unlogged calls while I'm on logging duty. Except there are only two unlogged emails this week, the two that came in after I'd left last night. The other 15 are from other weeks when I wasn't on logging duty and don't include all the other calls I logged during that time when I wasn't supposed to be doing it

My old boss tried to shaft me when I was on monitoring duty for NOC. I missed one alarm for 30 minutes at the end of my shift (was on 8-5 that day.) One alarm, and he wanted me up on major disciplinary. Thankfully the shift manager with balls was on at the time and he refused to do it, pointing out the large number of alarms I'd successfully dealt with that day. The other shift managers would probably have just let them put me on disciplinary and stuff. For one alarm. We have 10 monitoring systems, each with over 1000+ things being monitored, be it CPU usage, memory usage, leased line state, etc. etc. Things are always alarming, and he was kicking up a fuss over a single alarm.
If they'd kicked up a fuss I would have walked. Stuff like that no sane human being puts up with

Today is a Perfect example of why you couldn't put me in an office with other people. I'm having one of my Dark days where i could quite easily punch somebody to the ground & then laugh uncontrolably whilst i tear there face off with my heel.
I'd get to the office & just be Real quiet but of course that awkward **** that has been winding me up for weeks woud keep pecking away, Only this day he would only have to look at me & I'd be giving him the heel & enjoying every minute. Those that tried to stop me would get the same unles they were heavy enough to literally sit on me holding me down. Unless there is an intelligent woman about, They have a different effect on me, Not stupid screamy drama queen types as they make me more mad, Intelligent women have a way though that just cuts straight to my mind & clicks me back to normal by saying about 5 words usually Then i go Ultra quiet & have to go for a Long walk.
I have to say that Intelligent women have me sussed or are just more perceptive so therefore head off my archaic thicko caveman type BS before it happens.
Giving myself some hope I'd say that i am a super sencitive guy that reacts directly according to his surroundings & to those that surround me

WHAT A LOAD OF ****** BULL****


Or is it



Apologys for thread diversion me old mate



OP this way >>>>>>>>>>>

She left at 4pm to get ready for an awards ceremony.

Takes the ****ing p*ss.

I've spent the day not really paying attention to her, I know this isn't good behaviour but I am sorry... she's sposed to be setting an example?! I always lose respect for her when this happens and anything she says...

She's been really nice to us all afternoon = Guilt tbh

I didn't even say 'have a nice time' because I was 'on the phone'.

I know I am being just as pathetic but it really p*sses me off... sorry.

I was getting annoyed with one of my guys in Germany today, he was been overly Germanic and saying that he can't deviate from the set procedures. Only when I pointed out to him that I'm the guy who sets the procedures so am therefore the guy who can break the procedures did he do was he was told.

I loathe jobsworths.
