Makes sense I suppose. But I thought it had to do with ice cream or something...maybe it was all just a dream...Dr Yail Bloor wrote:Pole vaulter?soiled depends wrote:Overheard this:

Reminds me of this:broböt wrote:This happened earlier this year, and it is extremely nerdy. Title of the email (to everyone in that office) was "TO THE ASSHAT THAT TURNED OFF MY POWER."
Basically, the guy's machine was plugged into a non-working outlet and instead of checking that, he took his whole machine apart, took apart other machines to attempt to replace the part he thought was broken and was attempting to take it home before realized that he forgot to check the most likely issue.
And then wrote everyone about it describing, in detail, all of his dipshit efforts to fix the problem before he realized that it just wasn't on.
One of the founders of the company responded with "He did provide a very good outline for 'steps to take when your computer does not turn on, though!', other than 'check if the computer is plugged in' being step 0."SPOILERSPOILER_SHOWThat was not cool! You just wasted 1.5 hours of my time. Why might you ask?
The non battery backuped ports still worked. This means my monitor (which was also plugged into the UPS) still worked which took my suspicion away from the UPS [uninterruptible power supply] .
First things first I luckily had my laptop so I set that up and got on jabber, etc.. so I could get work done.
Because it is such a PITA [pain in the ass] to bring my comp out here I wanted to figure out whether or not it was the most common problem of a comp not turning on (bad PSU [power supply]). I pulled a PSU out of one of the 2U machines that needed to be RMA'd to see if I could just buy a PSU on my way back home and bring it in tomorrow to fix the issue.
The 2U PSU didn't work. I figured that it could just be the PSU was dead and that might be the reason it was being RMA'd or maybe the server-class PSU didn't like my mobo so I decide to try out the PSU in hutches [another shitty former coworker] old dell (since he has mine now). That one didn't work either. Fearing the worse (motherboard/cpu and or other issues) I decided I should talk to the security guys to see if they will let me bring my comp out.
Bringing crap out of this building in the past has been a big hassle and the people who can sign shit out (not just guys from [our datacenter]) like aren't in until 10 AM and I didn't want to wait 2 hours after my shift. Luckily enough the security guy was cool and said I could bring the system out. So I lug it out to my car (its quite heavy) and come back to the NOC [network operations center]. It then dawned on me maybe it is something with the UPS. For shits and gigles I decided to change my monitor from the 'surge protected' outlet to one of the 'battery protected' outlets and sure enough it won't turn on. I then hit the power button just to find out it was turned off.
The UPS has an analog power button so this thing did not just turn off by itself. Whoever did this not only really pissed me off but also wasted at least 1.5 hours of my time from this whole ordeal. I hope you are happy with yourself!
I also don't like my system being shutdown without the file-systems being properly unmounted either!
