sudden mood drop was topped by a team member texting that her laptop won't turn on go anywhere past a blue screen telling her to restart, and tomorrow is a critical working day
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
central IT in india has been of no use, and local IT won't be reporting until tomorrow
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
she lives several municipalities out so she can't easily report to the office, nor can IT just ship her a loaner laptop
DryadGurrl
I mean probably dumb question but did she plug it in?
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
DryadGurrl she did. it's an error 8007139f and if google can be relied on some, it's installation related
DryadGurrl
I ask this because invariably when one of our folks working from home at the bank complained about not being able to turn on their laptop IT said they needed to plug it in/let it charge
DryadGurrl
ah yeah that's a different thing then
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
yeah. i asked her to clarify if it won't just turn on or what
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
then she went "blue screen" and i said, tell me what the error is exactly lmao
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
we took it to IT but india gave up on it
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
i hate having to bother the rest of the team on a sunday and a holiday but i'm mobilizing them now for the inevitability of her not getting to work tomorrow
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
i'm sure they're all yikes it's the boss wtf now lmao
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
DryadGurrl it's true though that that happens. lmao i know it happens a lot with my parents and their equally youthful workmates hahaha
DryadGurrl
lol yeah, it was a range of ages where I was, too
ᴅɪʀᴇᴡᴏʟғ
oof i hope she can get it working again

oh funnnnn :-(
goblin wife
Ugh I'm sorry this sucks
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
at least her teammates are "sure we'll take care of it"
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
there is still good left in the world lmao
goblin wife
Just googled the error, and yikes, registry errors are no small matter. Hopefully IT gets their shit together!
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
IT's response time hasn't been great, alas. we do understand that they have other things going on as well and they're servicing a much larger population now that majority is working from home, but... accountants are unfortunately time-bound in certain times of the month. like now lmao
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
us on the last and first few days of the month:
goblin wife
My team at work is me and 2 accountants. I recognize month end panic.

so i'm now on my 15th hour at work and things are thankfully calming down at last. the poor girl couldn't do any work today because IT took one look and said "bring it in for reformatting" and she lives so far away and commuting is a hazard with the pandemic.
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
the good news is, her teammates pulled through and were able to do her work for her
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
and didn't even complain
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
i hope i'm down to my last coffee of the night and i can sleep soon. i already goofed at two things today but thankfully some other people caught me hahahaha
goblin wife
oh Lord that sound so intense, hang in there!
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
goblin wife thank you!
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
tomorrow i'd normally be able to take fewer hours to compensate for overworking today but
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
might have to assist still with the backlog
ʙʀᴏᴏᴋʟʏɴ ʙᴀʀʙɪᴇ
it's fine, at least i'm working from home!
