Management who can’t listen to associates who are more experienced and qualified than they are when a potentially hazardous situation arises

It’s clearly not a head, clearly not Tediore.
What pissed me off? As of late, ■■■■. Particularly, my job – or rather, not the job itself, but this one guy I have to deal with that is just…I think ‘health hazard’ seems pretty applicable to what I have to deal with. It started off last year, I gotta put up with that ■■■■ this year…and the more I hear the more I find this whole thing appalling.
Y’know what’s disgusting? What’s discussed in this video:

Don’t know why, but pain’s been worse while I sleep lately.
My job. Not the job itself, just one particular…problem.
If you guys were in my shoes, you’d understand my frustration, my irritation, my disgust, my anger.

Wtf is wrong with people?:
Well, ■■■■:
PMS + Pre-deadline stress. It sucks 
I have (so far) resisted the urge to eat 40x bars of chocolate. So far.

Migraine and the power went out.
Someone keeps putting trash in out yard (beer cans bottles etc)
Downloaded a new anime, and apparently the entire season was dubbed, except the 8 minute prologue. Which I had to download from youtube. Ugh.
Overslept and had bad dreams.

Opens chrome
Huh. Reddit Enhancement Suite is off. Oh, that’s right, where they moved Chrome over to enterprise all the extensions got blocked. ■■■■.
Opens youtube
Oh, ■■■■. Youtube ads. I forgot they even existed. ■■■■. And I can’t skip this one. Maybe if I go to admin I can push the ublock extension throu-
“Extension has been blocked by admin.”

nope, they specifically blocked them. As an extra incentive to work and not trawl websites i’m guessing.

The whole story is actually more hilarious than that.
Without getting into too many specifics, I work for a state agency that performs IT work for other state agencies. The contract my company has had for the past ten years or so doing network, server, and end user IT stuff (among fucking literally everything else) is expiring because the state heard from some ■■■■■■■■■■■ that they could get everything for cheaper by using a lot of smaller companies to do individual services like email/messaging, accounts work, service desk, network, server, etc.
One of their big fuckups was forgetting that the state is leasing all the servers, networking equipment, and a lot of end user equipment from us. What this meant was that when the messaging side of things that currently runs off microsoft’s platform was sent over to a new group, we didn’t have to give the new messaging people ■■■■ because ■■■■ them, those are our servers.
So rather than go exchange, the new messaging team decided to go through gmail, which requires the use of chrome, gsuite, and a few other packages. We distributed the software, but by our contract, we service absolutely none of it.
Because we service none of it, our “enterprise” version of chrome has just about zero approved extensions. They’ve blocked… literally all extensions by policy until the individual state agencies submit and get approved exceptions for the clause. Full disclosure, my co-worker was able to find the registry bit to resolve it, but the system apparently checks for this every so often and had restored the security blocks within the hour.
It’s basically a glorious ■■■■ you to users who have been approved (or in my case, aren’t approved) for chrome use for years, because it breaks anything that did function in chrome until the state figures out the individual certificates and extensions they need to get certain programs to work.
Discourse.
Because ■■■■■ and ■■■■■■ and ■■■■ and ■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■■■ ARE NOT ■■■■■■■ SWEAR WORDS!!!
“■■■■■■■” however is a swear word.

What. The. ■■■■.:
Hot damn that’s some funny ■■■■. If you had sysadmin creds you should be able to make that change. But then I’m not hands on or know exactly how the pie is sliced, so to say.
So here. Enjoy some cable management hell.

You might enjoy what happened last week…(see below)
I think it’s safe to say at this point.
This guy I have to deal with has basically been shoving stuff onto my figurative plate that is outside my responsibility mostly for lack of time. One of these was his trash can, which has been neglected to the point that disgusting was a minimal descriptor, akin to sea level for Death Valley, CA, and assuming that the lowest point was not a concrete number – ever. In the interest of everyone else – and especially where the health of others is concerned – I was leaving messages indicating an urgency in taking care of the problem. What I got was the messages being ignored at best, and deleted (for lack of a better word) at worst. Yeah, f*** me for being nice and concerned.
Where it gets interesting is all thanks to liability concerns, long story short. I went and bought a pack of pens at the store earlier this month. Last week, I left a message, but for some reasons thought what I was about to do was cleaver. Way I told my coworker was that he had pens in 3 colors out, those 3 matching what I had in my packet. So I used the fourth color, one which he didn’t have. Take that how you will.
Worst Monday I’ve ever seen.

Amazing…
I just spent three hours in terror of losing my user account. Which… Actually happened, but I managed a workaround. When Windows updated it dumped me onto a fresh account, and deleted my old ones. Even regedit didn’t have them. Thankfully the folders were still there in C:\Users so I redirected the fresh account to the original folder through regedit.

woo boy. I’ve never seen THAT exactly. Only thing on Windows is several hundred Gb’s of games. My linux partition, though, is particularly…susceptible…to sudden power loss. Not fun booting back up and being dumped into the terminal, then having to track down what exactly errored out when the power got cut. Had this happen about a week ago. UGH.
