Here's a quick lesson for you boys and girls... When you have been in competent and not done an assigned task, such as installing the software project you've supposedly been working on for the last year onto a server....
Have that server sent to IT to reinstall the whole thing and stall the project manager from sniffing out your duplicity.
Why do I mention this lesson?... Well, because this exact scenario is playing out before my every eyes, a Windows 2008 server has sat languishing not being used for over a year, the guy who was meant to be using it, making it a back up of our live server environment did not do so, he did however manage to waste an inordinate amount of time pretending he was doing something with the machine.
Last week, I tried to get to use that machine, and was met with a wall of shit, I mean, he threw his rattle right out his pram. Presumably because he saw my looking at the machine; on an unrelated matter; to be snooping into what he had, or rather had not done.
So, this week, I've passed the machine on to the next step and this person has darkened the door step once again and declared...
"This is the data center edition" (is it?) "we can't afford it, send it back to IT to have it created fresh"...
And the manger has gone... "Yeah, okay, tomorrow, send it to IT".
Alsmost immediately the status of the other-other project, the long proclaimed, much hyped, and mainly undelivered project has been put to sleep and there's now a days slack to be taken up in the mad panick that is the local development schedule...
This people is what happens when someone without any balls is running a department and there's a sneaky fuck working for them.
