I am so sick of incompetence

[CletusJones]

Because if it keeps rebooting...then that's bad...?

sure, but if you dont' watch it to see what happens, you won't know what it's doing so that you can tell the admin - who gets paid to fix the problems.

 

[wr3kt]

You're not fixing anything. If you were to sit there and watch it, you would simply be making sure it was functioning properly. If you took the time to view the system log after the fact, why not just watch the thing in the first place?

If you were to sit there and watch it,

If I sit there and watch, I can't answer the phone and call the executives and managers. Then I get yelled at for not doing my job. How is this hard to understand?

 

[Fat Burger]

That used to drive me nuts, I'd be busy fixing something and feebs would be whining for me to get on their conference call about the problem.

The difference in this instance is that it's his job to fix it, not mine.

Yea...but if it gets to the startup script screen, which is very vague in what it's starting,...and then reboots...and is an endless cycle...
I'm just saying.

I can't answer a phone that's 50 feet away through four walls while I'm standing in a noisy server room, no

Not hard to understand at all.....

 

[CletusJones]

Yes, and the system drive is a RAID 1 array.
The server still rebooted.

What's the point you're trying to make, I'm missing something here.

The point is: You should have stuck around to see what the problem was before talking to the admin. If you would have told him "there's a bad sector on one of the drives in _____ server and it needs someone to fix it because _____." you would have been doing a better job.

You telling him that "____ server rebooted." and then telling the world that it's down accomplishes nothing besides giving you more work, and the admin still hasn't gotten to it. You should have told him that there was a problem that required immediate attention.

You're a horrible person and I hope your server randomly shuts down and your IT guy doesn't do shit and you go check up on it repeatedly and inform the IT guy and he still does nothing and then I hope you slip on a jolly rancher that got spit out on a floor from an intern getting it doggy-style by one of your 12 managers.

AND I HOPE YOUR COFFEE TASTES LIKE STALE POTATO CHIPS!

It isn't hard to understand. However, if you had waited to see if there really was a fucking problem you would have known how urgent it was, and you could have better informed the admin. It's called taking the initiative.

I know what you're saying. my point is that he didn't stick around long enough to see IF anything like that was happening.

IT'S MY FUCKING JOB, YOU FUCKING IDIOT
