Lol, you received worksheets via fax? I do not envy you. Actually, I know exactly how you must feel; it happens to me several times a week. Not 1000 pages, but enough to get a good nailbiting frustration on.

Yup, and some of the documents are handwritten as wellDonFck wrote:
No way. Also, scan to text would only make things more frustrating, but you're going to hear that proposition at some point from someone who doesn't understand shit over how much everything fucks up in the process and that you have to go through the info regardless, only with a much tighter comb.
Long sentence is long.

So I have one month to decide when I'm gonna keep my one week winter vacation. I'd like to go someplace warm and with as low cost as possible. My sauna is the closest, but it ain't got enuff beach. The Canary isles are one option. Gimme some fancy ideas.
Also, went to Tenerife last Winter vacation, 22C, good stuff. Highly recommended for just kickin' it.

Do we still use IE6? Yes. Do we have a 400GB hard drive for the entire Civil engineering department in the whole of the UK? Yes. Do we have a Raid set up so when something get deleted accidentally we can recover it? No. Do we get constant emails about reducing the amount of stuff on the hard drive because it's breaking the server? Yes.
Normal office computer?
Intel Pentium 3
205MB of RAM
I haven't seen one single person able to touch type or operate a computer successfully.
I also watch the retards heating up the water for their coffee, but instead of just taking it at 91C, they will watch it go up till 99C and then pour it, I mean, what fucking difference is it going to make?
If you'd work here, you'd rip your ballhair off out of sheer frustration how stone age something can be. Yes, I do handwriting to .xls too. I've ordered people to go on excel courses but they can't use the internet good enough to even get to the emails I've sent them with links to said courses.Zimmer wrote:

You can probably drop by if the folks aren't in. They're only there for a part of the year anyway and as their favorite (read: only) son, I'm claiming keys to the house.Ultrafunkula wrote:

Nah, I'm in charge of looking after the undertrack crossings and culverts on the Scottish railway line, calculating flood rates and risk assessments for each structure and deciding what should be best done with them in their current situation. You reall don't want to know what state some stuff is in around here....

Nah, people make mistakes when it comes to laying the blame on the railway. We have absolutely nothing to do with the TOCs and FOCs ( Train Operating Companies and Freight Operating Companies ). It's up to them to decide timetables and quality of service, we merely provide the land and track for them to operate on.DrunkFace wrote:

See, if that happens here, people just walk out and go home. They don't come back.Ultrafunkula wrote:

Ya, well most of the ppl left for the day since it went off at aroud 1530. I on the other hand was ordered to our other facility some miles away. Halfway there I got the call to come back since it was a false one. Pff. Still need to keep the service open for an hour. Then it's go home time.Zimmer wrote:

I went back in at a fire alarm because I needed to send off a few emails, and my boss just looked at me and asked "What the fuck are you still doing here?".
