Ouch my head

Ever hear one of those really high pitched grinding noises? You know the kind that just screams “Metal rubbing against metal” and makes you want to run as far away as possible so the noise will stop making your brain vibrate? It’s really not good when a printer makes that sound, is it?

Of course this particular printer is an HP Laserjet 4L, and if you know anything about that printer you won’t be surprised to know that this thing is so old no one remembers buying it! I think the roller and some other moving parts have just had it. I think we’ll just point this user to one of the network printers for now and look at doing something different. I don’t see much of a point in trying to have a printer tech come and replace those moving parts, do you?

    Note to self: Later, read through all the responses to this slashdot thread about what you would include in an IT toolkit. Looks like there are some pretty good tools and ideas running around in there, but I need to do some work and can’t really look at them all right now. (link via nf0)…

  • Linked – How to repair a trust problem

    She mentions a round of layoffs as an example of breaking trust, and I’m glad she included that. All too often, when a round of layoffs occurs, senior management will return to talking about the culture or set of core values they expect all employees to follow without ever acknowledging that it’s different now. You can’t just return to talking about the importance of teamwork and diversity when you just canned 10% of the team as if nothing happened.
