So my work email doesn't work. Our IT department is supposed to make sure employee email accounts work, but after it repeatedly breaking, I stopped contacting them to get it fixed. I learned to work around not having my work email functioning for about the last 6 months! Well, finally they put pressure on me to get it fixed. So, the same genius who they sent out before to fix, they send out again. And in true form, it works for a couple days then breaks.

This is really sad because we are a technology company, and I personally talk to people on a daily basis fixing THEIR email, yet I can't even get my own fixed. I don't have the network admin priveledges to fix my own, otherwise I'm sure I could fix it easily.

Anyway, one of the errors that was popping up referenced a folder or file with my last name spelled wrong. Clearly I wouldn't have done that, so it must have been the email tech who did it. So either it's that they are so dumb they can't even spell my name correctly to fix the problem after a year, or there is some other problem that they are too dumb to fix AND they can't spell.

Never ceases to amaze me.

Hear ya there, Roger,

When our school went wireless, they forgot to allow Mac adresses. Everyone in Multimedia and Game design uses a Mac (because someone thought that Mac was better then Microsoft, stupid sod).

And then we've got something called "action". This is a server that is not located at school, for safety reasons. For all they know/care they've got a server in Japan. The idea is that everyone can put anything for everyone on there, like documents and small files. Could be usefull when it works. Neutral

Guess what, it doesn't work.

If yer names spelt wrong....why don't yer just correct it
by going to "Change user name"..Or how ever your system over there works.

You'd think it'd be as easy as, "if it's not right, correct it." But this is corporate america. And since the only people who have access to change it don't know how to spell my name, then I doubt it's going to be fixed any time soon.

I still don't know what the problem is exactly, that's just something I noticed.

I reported the issue again today and my boss came over and had me do something. It was some technical thing I've never heard of. It of course required me to shutdown and restart. Naturally, it fixed nothing. Succeeded only in wasting time.

My theory is once again validated. Computers are designed to make people money. Not to actually work.

Our IT guy will continue to cash his paycheck every friday, yet his sole purpose of working here---to ensure employees can properly use our technology--is not being lived up to.
