it's an iMac and there isn't a way to put the display to sleep and keep the transfer going.

it's also a networked user based access and will log out if the display is asleep.

I now think you should go back to the original deck and when you step away from your desk you flip the following over to cover your screen:

I exacted revenge on someone who irritated me and knows less about computers than I do. I changed the settings on her mouse's scroll wheel to 50 lines per click from 3. One click on the wheel and she is down a page and a half. Step 4 above is her puzzlement. My profit is in the satisfaction that her life is made slightly harder each work day. I checked last week and the setting is still in place....6 weeks and counting.

There was also a big bru ha ha over turning the lights on. We all moved to a new floor and few people said they work better in the dark (because they are editing and their previous room lights were off at all times) but they are in a big bullpen with about 50 other people and it would be like a west side story petty rumble every time someone would turn the lights on or off.

God, I love working with a bunch of geeks. Everybody is too anti-social or autistic to say fudge to anybody. Before you say anything, they are literally autistic you ass and they make damn good techs.

People who are sick at work and don't go home. I know people have posted it before but my experience from today led me to this thread with a need to vent

A guy on the floor vomited in front of the men's room, on the men's room door, on the floor of the men's room, all over a toilet in the men's room and on himself. I know this because somehow its part of my job to deal with these types of issues. Being a conscientious co-worker he tried his best to get most of it up while I was finding the crew that cleans the building.

Here is the conversation with the security guard:

Me: You seen Karen?

SG: She will be right back, what's up.

Me: Some guy got sick on 5.

SG: What should she bring to clean it up?

Me: The full monte

Image

Does he then collect his things and leave??? No, he goes right back to his desk. 15 minutes later here is how the conversation unfolded:

Me: Hey, I heard you weren't feeling well and got sick.

Vomit Dude: Yeah, I'm going to try to tough it out.

Me: Ah, no you really aren't. You can't get sick all over and go right back to your desk. We are all working in close quarters and I'm sure I speak for most of those working around you when I say that no one wants to catch what you have. You have to leave.

Vomit Dude: oh, ok.

:hanging:
