So fun fact, I've discovered that the Dell EMC 1U faceplate is actually well suited to reach the areas of my back that I can't scratch. I now have one permanently stationed at my side desk.

Me: Hello hi yes I have evidence that your system is not working.
Support: Interesting, could you please provide evidence of something else entirely?
Me: Er, uh, I mean sure, maybe? Did... I think you misunderstood yourself?

I call all my HAR files d.HAR before I send them to developers because it's just funny to hear them reference d.HAR d.HAR files over and over again.

So I have a client that sold an arm of its business and I’m trying to help them transition out of courtesy. New owners are in and taken over.

But I’m having a difficult time because they keep asking for us to extend a service contract which they will reimburse us for except they don’t seem to realize that they aren’t really using it.

I’ve tried but they’re not seeing why this is silly so I’m about to charge them an extra $5k for not getting it. :/

Person in Administration: “can you explain to me how ‘admins’ work in Jira?”
Me: “… that’s a perfectly reasonable question and I’m going to have to go with ‘no, I probably can’t’ — not in any way that would make sense.”

Instead we decided to go with a specific example 8)

Wow, ok, people really don’t appreciate it when an argument is won by RTFM-ing the chapter and verse of instructions that specifically deal with that factor.

Not my fault you wrong doe; maybe next time say “I’m not sure I’ll look into that” and then I’ll slip you the answer and the implementation steps in a less, er, public setting.

Any of you guys have an Ethernet cable that doesn’t go anywhere?

I don’t remember installing this one, it doesn’t go anywhere but I can’t find the far end and it’s definitely plugged into the switch… how does it not go anywhere?!?

Hi #LIS #InfoSci folks: If you're an ASIS&T member and interested in disability access to professional/scholarly events, we're looking for volunteers for a subcommittee to generate recommendations. HMU if you have questions or are interested.

I’m in a group chat that’s been conducting a #StarTrek rewatch from the beginning of #TOS, and we’re finally about to hit “Darmok*” (#TNG, S5E2)

Readers, I am losing my** shit #memes #gifs #entirelyTooOnline (cc @AnnTelope)

*Which I’ve never actually seen before, despite 25yrs+ of being a #Trekkie

**A person who’s profession is #InfoSci

#Introduction post: I'm an academic at the boundary between #HCI and #InfoSci, who does #qualitative and #mixedmethods research.

I care about people, not tech, and want to see improving tech make lives better for everyone, not just the usual suspects.

I like books, cats, music, exercise and thinky conversations way too late at night.

I never did an #introduction and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.
