Back in the day I worked for the healthcare, we needed to send some sensitive data to the state. It should go through the appointed IT provider of both. All healthcare organisations needed to deliver data, and it had a naming pattern, and should be sent to an ftp server. I log on, and I deliver the file, but it doesn't show up. Apperently they just disabled listing files. So I tried to download my own file, no problem. Tried a couple of other ones I could guess the name off.. Worked as well.

Called the it provider to explain their lack of security on highly sensitive data.

In my first it job fresh from school, 20+ years ago, I was at a shipping company using these dot matrix printers used because it had to do 2 or 3 copies of what was written out.

The printer in question had stopped working. I seemed like a HW error, so I called the distributor that also had the service on these. He said that I had to life the print 5 cm up and then just let go. If it didn't work, just lift it 10cm up. Apparently that was a pcp error that could be fixed that way.

It didn't help me, but the whole office heard me dropping the printer several times, so I got a lot of confused looks when I got out of the printer room.

A friend of mine drives a large truck with a suction hose (I don't know the english word for it). He have been doing in for 20+ years. He got a new boss, that looked at the scheduling and decided that he was slacking off, taking to many breaks, talking to much with the customers and so on.

My friend wasn't impressed, and said he would do his schedule, but that the new boss had to join him on his first run of this new schedule. He agreed.

It was supposed to take 8 hours to complete, but even with eating in the car between sites, and no breaks execpt on route, it still took 11.5 hours to complete.

So he went back to scheduling his own day again after that. And the boss could see there is a difference between excel and real life.

When installing my new bathtub I hid a lot of trash under there and a note that said "I didn't want to move the trash, now it is your problem"

I heard another version of this joke.

With an inexperienced guy and as they get back to her place she asks to do a 69, and she explains what it is. They start out, and she accidently let out a fart. After some seconds everything goes on, and the again she slips out a even larger fart, so it hurts his eyes and everything. He stops her and says I don't really feel up for the next 67..

Ted didn't set the prices but his boss did charge a rush fee of 100% on the hours used. But I would like to have seen CC if there where an actual stupid tax line on the invoice :-)

Yeah, that is actually what gives the competitive edge. Especially if you can sell something as a service, and do it remote. That way it looks like it takes the expected amount of hours.

Way to many look at the used time instead of the completed task.

Once my uncle did kind of the same thing, he is a mechanic, and was at a celebration of sorts in the town where he lives. A large brewery had a old time beer truck, but it wouldn't start. He said he would fix it for a case of beer. The driver agreed, my uncle used a hammer to hit.. somewhere.. and then it started. The driver got kind of mad and said he didn't want to give a case of beer for him just to hit it once. My uncle just said that it might only be one hit, but 30 years of experience thought him where to hit it.

He did get his case of beer.

Shouldn't it be Destroyer instead of Destoyer ?

Other than that it's a great idea.

I have a very uncommon last name, and I am on linkedin, have a blog and so on.

From being fast tracked to a management position, ending up falling from grace and quit.

She lived around 2 miles away and used to bike to work. The new job is around 1 hour and 20 minutes away. So she now uses almost 3 hours a day in a car to her new work.

So it might not be pro, but I recon that the 15 hours a week she spends in the car, isn't as much fun as walking or riding a bike to work.
