how thick are people???
Discussion
for my sins i work in IT, i am currently building 15 machines in a room that I have booked out to me till end of next week (have 15 more to do next week), there is a sign on the door saying not to enter or touch the machines as they are doing an automated build. each of the machines has a note on it saying do not touch!
so what do i find when i go to check, people sitting round the table having a meeting, with all the machines switched off as they were 'making too much noise'.
i don't have the luxury of a build lab like i did in the city, i have to use this room when building more than 2 machines as it has the desks round the outside as well as in the middle as we use it for training as well.
now i have to start them all again as windows won't restart its setup, i have to drop the build from the network again.
how do these people manage to get jobs, let alone ones paying more than mine, they are idiots!!!
they even got stroppy when i kicked them out as I had booked the room, it was empty so they used it despite me having it booked, i can't lock the door, hence the signs.
right i am off to bang my head against a wall for a while, them herd up some cats it will make my working day easier and less painful
oh and i doubt i will get much more than 4/10 for this rant, no swearing etc.

I assume they're managers, in which case being highly self-important and arrogant enough to do the above would be pre-requisites for the job.they even got stroppy when i kicked them out as I had booked the room, it was empty so they used it despite me having it booked, i can't lock the door, hence the signs.
Complain to the head of their department about the extra work they've cost you.
was any of the machines for them?
If so dont rebuild it give it to them and when they ask why its not working tell them it could possibly be cause someone switched them off but they looked ok... take it back and say that it will now need to be re prioritsed and go back into the queus of other machines being built... AT the bottom.
Done that before after manager stopped one I was building, part way through a 3 hour build that he needed by 4pm... he turned it off at 2pm cause of too much noise... suprising enough he was not happy and his boss saw this and b
ked him for doing it and trying to bk me... ah the joys of year outs during uni...

1) Wire the door handle to the mains
2) Wear rubber gloves
3) Put sign up saying "warning live electricity" or similar
4) Set CCTV to watch the fun.....
We all know that signs that say "Wet Paint" actually really say "Touch me"

Put a Claymore at the doorway, and hope none of them have Scrambler Pro.

That might only kill or injure one of many. Best to get a 25 kill streak and nuke them.(Sorry I've been playing far too much 'Modern Warfare 2' on the Xbox.)
(my PS3 has the yellow light of death that I didn't know about when I defected from xbox because of 2 red rings of death, and like most blokes i've binned the reciept)

I have to confess, if i saw that sign pointing to an office door handle, i would really have to fight the urge to see if it was true 2) Wear rubber gloves

I used to get some great ones on the helpdesk.
Me: I've sent you a screenshot showing where you need to change your details.
Client: .....
Me: Now go to the company directory and find your entry. Can you see that tab there?
Client: ......
Me: The tab marked 'update my details'.
Client: I am clicking on it in your screenshot but nothing's happening!
>facepalm<
And another:
Client: My computer is making a loud beeping noise and lots of letters are appearing on the screen!
(I can hear it in the background)
Me: Is there something resting on the keyboard?
Client: Yes, a book.
Me: You might want to take that off.
