Workplace communication

Thu Sep 25 11:53:36 EDT 2003
So, people often call me at work if they have a problem like, "I can't see the UI", "I can't login", "My server doesn't start up", and "I can't build." I've compiled a checklist of troubleshooting questions to ask people who call me, in this order:
(1) Is your computer on?
(2) Is your monitor on?
(3) Did you try to hit refresh on your browser?
(4) Do you have that file checked out?
Hehe... :p

So, I love it when Rob starts talking to me about some performance testing we need to do on our application, and then he just stops. He says he has too many parallel processes going, and I'm a suspended thread. Well, FINE.

And then, on the other hand, Sarkis was talking to me about something, and then he continues to talk to me... but the funny thing was, I wasn't there in my office.

So... this just goes to show you what kind of communication is going on at my workplace (or, lack thereof). :p
