Song of the Day: March 15
“Over Yet" by Hayley Williams
#song of the day
#very exciting to have one of my brothers tell me entirely unprompted that he's enjoying the current playlist
#a very big win
#I spent most of my work day today doing what I've been thinking of as 'evil rubber-ducking'
#where the IT guys throw me the especially Difficult faculty members--the ones who can't be helped because they won't listen--
#and I trick them into actually talking me through what they're doing so we can find the problem and fix it
#(eternally amazed by people who request help and then refuse it. you called me bud. you submitted a service request ticket on purpose.
#oh you can't do your job without connecting to the vpn? that's great we can't fix it until you tell us what's fucking stopping you)
#mostly this 'tricking' takes the form of me being a sweet young butter-wouldn't-melt Southern girl in over my head with mean IT guys
#bless them (derogatory) these folks who won't let IT even attempt to start working through the 'have you tried' scripts
#because they know they're getting something wrong but are too angry-embarrassed to admit they don't know what
#are still delighted to mansplain the idea of a remote connection to me
#--that's not fair. I shouldn't mischaracterize them it's mostly not mansplaining.
#the two today were yankee-splaining me. city-splaining maybe.
#what would a hick like me (y'all is one person. all y'all or some'a y'all for multiple people) possibly know about enterprise networks--
#anyway they were using the wrong login credentials and were so sure of themselves they'd never even tried the other set just to see
#bless. their. hearts.
#(IT owes me so many little favors like this now. the latest database tweak I asked for got done live while I described it to them)
#anyway anyway! love the chorus on this song
#'to get out of your head yes break a sweat / baby tell yourself it ain't over yet'
#makes me move my head every time
