The bored at work thread - Seye Qhesu - 02-06-2015
A place for those of us who are bored at work to post silly things.
I work with insurance verification and I giggled up a storm when a lady wrote on a patient's fee ticket 'prescriber' instead of subscriber.
Yeah....

Good god, here I thought I was alone. I work in the archives of the national court, and I just had to deal with a customer willing to venture into our rat infested store room with a rapier and a helmet for his documents.Â
This is my day.

I work in the federal government in HR...
Bonus....I do disciplinary and terminations.
Shenanigans ensue.

I am a "Network Support Engineer" which is just a fancy way of saying "Help Desk".
And you don't want to know about my day(s).
RE: The bored at work thread - Gegenji - 02-06-2015
I just do contract programming work. Which, as of late, tends to involve having to look at someone else's code to see how close it is to being "complete." Code that has no notes or documentation. Oh, and the guy that wrote it has been gone for... two years now?
Yet every bit of code I end up having to gauge, evaluate, and possibly complete is written by this guy. Oh, and it's not in either of the two programming languages I was trained in. Learned C++ and C#, was toted as such in my resumes, and I'm here trying to convert that knowledge into Visual Basic.
I can do it, mind, but I rather dislike when the Project Manager gives me next to no time to learn any of it since - in their mind - "VB's a simple language."
Hm.

Does university counts. Doing Computer Engineering in a class I failed because the professor was a dickwad to me. Problem is, I pretty much aced most of the class so here I am listening to stuff I can do sleeping.

Ahh my fellow workonians!

One of our clients deals with the faxing back and forth of legal documents concerning powers of attorney, wills, and the like. They have an old Windows XP workstation running their crappy software to scan documents into batches of *.tiff documents.
Years ago, someone wrote a chain of VBScript files that will copy these *.tiff's between computers, combine them into one PDF document, and upload it to a website database via FTP. These scripts are poorly written and constantly create/delete folders off C:\ based on the user's profile.
When they decided to change user accounts, all of these scripts broke. And now we have to fix them.

Was hoping a thread like this would show up. XD
I work in an art department, so my days are riddled with silliness and sexual innuendos. Though I did just receive news that my friend up here is being forcibly moved to a different department.

It is, most of the time. The only downside really is that the majority of crap we make is for the sports world. I know way more than I ever wanted to know about it all. Superbowl and World Series, I always have to come in from midnight to eight in the morning just to prepare for all the orders the sales department has. @_@

Ahh my line of work involves artwork as well, but more for advertising.

Sweet! A fellow Floridian!
I used to work at a place like that, but only as customer service, which was why I quit. XD
