Just seen an advert in the paper which said:
ACCOUNTANT NEEDED
£35,000 - £40,000
So I rung then and said the answer is -£5,000

With those math skills, I'm sure you'll get the job. Only question is: Can you afford paying them £5000 at the end of each month? 
[EDIT] Whoops each year, I guess it should be. Otherwise it's one hell of a salary! [/EDIT]

You work for a celery?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Of course the actual accountant's answer is 'how much do you want it to be?' 
|
|
|
|

Yep, fairly obvious trick question in that ad. 5000 is the answer that will filter out the wannabes like OP.

I chuckled, then chuckled some more.
|
|
|
|
|
I assume you are still chuckling? 
|
|
|
|
|
No, I finished chuckling the second I hit the post message button.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh alright, that was disappointing.
|
|
|
|
|
Now, I am chuckling again.

Well, after weeks of careful negotiation with our local IT department, our machines were hijack-updated last night to Win10 by the governing authority. I'm now sitting here, UNABLE TO WORK AT ALL because none of my dev tools are installed.

There is a silver lining to everything if you look hard enough!

Just sit back and allow the frustration you must be feeling to soak into every cell in your body. Ah, now doesn't that feel better?

Give it to the project manager, let him do allow the moaning and groaning and then sit back and relax.

Are you responsible for installing dev tools or is that done by your IT division?
|
|

IT has to do it. We have nothing resembling admin rights on our boxes.

Ah, then this is pretty shoddy on their part. Waste of everyone's time.

It goes a lot deeper than a few apps that haven't been installed.
And "shoddy" is much too mild of a term to use for describing it...

You guys just need an ISSO(formerly IASO) specifically for your shop computers. Sec+, a secret clearance, and ISSM(IAM) appointment orders for IATII will generally get you an admin CAC and then you're golden; aside from an online course or two that's all it should require.
We're "lucky" enough to be grossly understaffed by DoD 8500 standards, so multi-hatting is a thing and I can install my own tools. The minus was having to get a CISSP.

Without starting a flame war on the 'correct' method of denoting the date, happy Pi day.
The system I worked with, OSISoft's Plant Information (PI) System has been a steady thread in my career from the early 90s through the present.
Enjoy the day; do some good.
