And also now has a fantastic story to amaze and impress his friends and peers.

His English friends will not be impressed. Taking a role he is over qualified for. His Welsh friends will see it as normal.

[WTFH]

I suspect its a different meeting.... Unless you are working on a project in Austria....

It's about 5 years since I've worked in Austria. Still miss Figlmueller for the schnitzel, the Schweizerhaus for its pork shoulder and the Residenz for a strudel.

Now I did do a gig a few years now where one of the tasks was swapping the tapes. It was a 3rd line role but low level - I was skint.

Took all afternoon mind. Had to walk around a big site (hospital). I didnt mind - get paid either way.

How are you getting out of it early? I didn't see your name on the invite list.

Must have a tape backups. They've taken PC on.

What Oracle hardware went down?
Why was there no backup if it was business critical?

long story.....

[TheFaQQer]

Are you asking for anything or just having a moan?

Rhetorical.

Maybe a nice mod can move this where it belongs rather than in the Technical forum where it has no place.

Been going downhill since Sun days......

Fail to see how a system down and business affecting is not a priority 1. Seems pointless to pay for 4 hour response because they just make excuses like they can't get the part (not my problem).

Yesterday, they managed to send the completely wrong part (it wasnt even close) then moan and whine that they wouldn't be able to get the part delivered until Thursday. Not cool.
In the end they did manage to send it by 2am - funny that!

Are you asking for anything or just having a moan? Log it it and flog it to second line, no longer your problem. Easy.
