06:15 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0, h0, h0ez!
06:25  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:58  * dasunt yawns.
07:59 <@dasunt> I'm trying to define "brain" in a meaningful way.  Like, if you have an alien organism, what's the definition you use to determine if it has a brain.
07:59 <@dasunt> Not necessarily human level intelligence.  A slug has a brain (AFAIK), yet it is doubtful it has a thought in its head.
08:06 <@dasunt> Hmmm, Wikipedia gives the definition of the brain being the center of the nerous system, and the nervous system is defined as a system that transmitts signals to and from different parts of the body, detecting environmental changes and then responds to them.
08:06 <@dasunt> Which seems to be an overly broad definition.
08:10 < aestetix> A brain is defined as the organ which people who disagree with you are missing.
09:01 <@dasunt> LOL.

10:12 <@dasunt> Huh, only took me less than two hours on a Monday before my boss decided to piss me off.
10:18 < Evilpig_> I've been told by network security not to auto-forward them the phishing emails that they send out 
10:18 < Evilpig_> if they insist on using a company called "phishme" that puts their name in all the headers as part of an anti-phishing user education campaign.  fuck them.  they get their emails back before I even see them

10:44 <@dasunt> LOL.
10:49 < Evilpig_> comments from security were "you can't do that"  "stop that"  "I didn't even think of that"

15:46 <@dasunt> Gawd.
15:46 <@dasunt> PErson can't get a file to autotransfer.
15:46 <@dasunt> So they submit helpdesk ticket @#1.
15:46 <@dasunt> Then they decide it's urgent, so helpdisk ticket #2 is submitted about 3 seconds later.
15:47 <@dasunt> Then just to get my attention, they send helpdesk ticket #3 - while I'm fixing the issue, saying it still isn't working.
15:47 <@dasunt> Then, after I fix it, their boss emails me telling me about this problem.
15:47  * dasunt ponders if he's in a real life version of OfficeSpace.
15:52 <@Dagmar> This would be a good time to bring up whether or not people are following escalation procedures
15:52 <@Dagmar> Escalation procedures should _never_ allow the person with the problem to submit tickets/reports at a rate that prevents anyone from fixing it
15:53 <@Dagmar> Their boss emailing you directly is something that probably shouldn't have been allowed to happen
15:56 <@Dagmar> 'Update your ____'.
15:56 <@Dagmar> @#$@

16:09 <@Mirage> be sure to cancel all the dups as dups

16:22 <@dasunt> Mirage: No, I just close them as separate tickets, because my boss luvs metrics.
16:23  * dasunt is forced to play this stupid game.
16:25 <@dasunt> Huh, Jeremy Corbyn has apparently never heard of the phrase "next interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake", and calls for a new no-confidence vote.
16:40 <@Dagmar> Actually, I suspect those are the words he _has_ heard.
16:41 <@Dagmar> The maxim is to _never_ interrupt the enemy while they're making a mistake
16:54 <@rhia> which is why i have no problem with the Twit(ter) in Chief tweeting in the dark of night
16:59 < K`Tetch_> thats not a new no confidence vote, it's a different one
17:00 < K`Tetch_> last weeks one was a conservative party no confidence vote in may as leader
17:00 < K`Tetch_> this is a commons no confidence vote in the conservative government
17:01 < K`Tetch_> last weeks one, only tory mps could vote, and if may lost, she'd be out as MP, and the tories would select a new party leader to be PM
17:01 < K`Tetch_> this one, if mays govt fails a vote of all MPs, corbyn could then go to the Queen to see about establishing a new government, and if they can't form one, then there'd be a snap election 30 days later
20:00 <@rhia> 30 days wouldn't work in the US - not nearly enough time to get that $weet donor ca$h rolling in
