Adventures in..........

So 3 days ago, an interfacing application we rely heavily upon, blew the **** up. It is a webservice (not that any of you know what that is). Anyway, my application accesses services in the other application via the web. Well anywho, dude from the other team says hes working on it (3 days ago mind you), about 30 minutes ago he tells me its fixed, and to get the latest .wsdl and regenerate our webservice client to his service (a wsdl is like an xml file, its an interface, that defines the nature of the services in their application). Anyway, so he tells me that and friggin packs up his laptop post haste and Gets the **** out. I generate client from this thing, and Im like whoa whoa, dude. Half the services we call are flat out gone(that was the problem we had in the first place, but he couldnt figure it out and ended up breaking shit further). This shit aint gonna fly. They problem is that breaks our code too. I could fix it, but their shit is so fucked up I dont believe I can trust anything Id be getting back from their services.



He thought he fuckin escaped for the weekend. **** that. I called the fucking executive. i aint getting blamed for shit falling behind (basically were stuck with our shit, until they fix their shit).



He organized a call and got this motherfucker on his cell. The exec asked him, "So are you going to work this weekend until this is fixed? We have lost 3 days because of this." Silence. Then "Well....I hadn't planned on it, but I guess.....if you need me to."



The despair in his voice was priceless. Thats what you get you ****, saying shits fixed then scurrying the **** out of there like a goddamn weasel before we discover your fucking lie.

Most of my stories involve dealing with crazies and stalkers and little kids pulling fire alarms.

Nice, how many empolyees are affected by this?



I work in the IT support field so appriciate this.

I'm sure most the military people in here could come up with some real doozies.

Considering "cluster ****" is an official term and perhaps strategy.....well I'll just leave it at that.

In total probably about 20 people cant do their jobs because of this.

SNAFU is a better term

Pretty much what I deal with all the time too, Bri

So my current agency is so reactionary in how they deal with things, and nowhere near proactive. Last week a girl almost cut her finger off with a pair of dykes while clipping zip ties. What does the company do? Mandates that everyone wear gloves now while building/striking events and/or dealing with any aspect of build/strike or setup. Hey Einstein: 1) A glove wouldn't have prevented her cut (unless she were wearing some sort of thick-ass type), and 2) Now you are going to see other injuries because people have no tactile ability with gloves on. While some sort of safety lesson or speech may be neccessary, the knee-jerk mandatory rules are just fucking ridiculous.

It doesn't matter how safe a work conversation can be. People are thin skinned ass bags. I swear-- people can be offended by you asking them to do their jobs. I had a very awkward moment this morning with a fellow employee of mine. I'm still not sure how something I did not say can add up to something tangible.

Gotta give us details man.
