"Show of hands. Who speaks Punjabi?"

Bruce, where did you get that pic? That's the location where I work. I recognize the cafeteria and the people.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-23-2004, 04:15 PM

Sure is, that's the Boeing VP explaining the sale to all hands. It was posted along with the story of the sale on the Boeing intranet news site.

And you thought I couldn't find your sorry ass. Bwahahahahahahaha.

Do we get to play "where's Radar" with this pic now?

Radar · 11-23-2004, 06:00 PM

I didn't attend the meeting. I wasn't there, but I was there today. Yesterday they wanted me to rig some of the computers so if anyone started up solitaire, freecell, minesweeper, or pinball a window will popup telling them the computer is for business use only.

Why don't they just take those programs off of the machines? Mine is game-free at work.

Clodfobble · 11-24-2004, 09:11 AM

Because then they wouldn't know who is trying to play.

That's just one of radars clients silly, his more regular client is NASA. (rigging comp's against space invaders)

I asked the same thing. But the managers wanted the icons to remain and the users to get a message when they click on it. I asked if he wanted me to also make an alarm go off and a pink slip print out.

But in the end, I do what the customer wants and that's what they wanted.

Because they want to create the illusion/impression that they know what the employee is doing. Employees behave much better when they think they are being monitored.

careful there radar, though. i'm in the oil & gas industry here in houston and have seen that "feel good" speech before only to see entire crews let go. update the ol' resume.....just in case.....

on a different note, i fly with a guy who works for NASA here in houston (clear lake) and he's more than happy to see O'keefe go b/c of all the cutbacks he'd done to "revamp" the space program......is this going to have any bearing on your job?

I'm updating the resume just in case. But the way it stands, I've got a good year of work disconnecting them from the Boeing network, building a helpdesk from scratch, creating a new solution for the timecard system and the accounting system, building a new domain for the network, new email servers, etc. and by the time it's all done, they'll be ready to update all the desktop computers with new hardware, and new and improved images created by me. Probably with XP instead of 2k so they can use hyperthreading. The deal didn't include the buildings because Boeing wanted way too much money for them so new security doors will have to be added for all the buildings and one of the buildings will be split in half so Boeing can lease out the other half. We'll all still share the gym, the courtyard, and cafeteria, but we'll have to badge in to any of the buildings instead of just at the gate to get in. That reminds me, I'll have to setup the badge and ID people with a new system too.
