I am calling people out on their bs work ethic of quantity over quality! Otherwise, same shit, different day.

aint that how it goes with technology. it's midterm week here so i'm trying to remind as many people as possible to save their work as they go because inevitably someone tries to put their feet up on the wire cover boxes and breaks one (this has happened twice) or a computer crashes or someone is stupid enough to print and close their file without saving bc
big 🛌 energy
they sent it to the printer, then there's a printer error
big 🛌 energy
or sometimes the computer just freezes for no reason bc technology is a pain in the ass

i'm sorry you got caught by the inevitable law that when there is a deadline, technology must fuck up

wtf why do people not save

Baruch avoids the whole feet on computer thing by mounting the tiny computers behind the monitors

But yeah idk what happened. It was fully charged its working just fine now that I'm plugged back in. I even unplugged it and it's fine so who the fuck knows what happened

For the sound issue, a set of headphones might have at least cut it from the main speakers. But that's not something a lot of people are gonna think of, when they're in the midst of midterms.

I did not have headphones on me! I dont bring my headset with me to school and I have bluetooth for my phone. I'm willing to bet my prof doesn't have headphones either

Work network went down. We could get the internet, but not the networked drives all our work is stored on.

I spent 1/3 of my morning fielding calls and telling people, yes we know, no it's not just you, someone is working on it...
