Good thing you posted it here so your ISP knows now to fire you.

Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies.

What ISP do you work for?

Wear your fucking glasses

one that will remain unnamed

GLASSESFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH

LMAO GET LASIK NERD

if you are in fucking Southern IN im gonna kick your fucking ass for giving me grief

Fix your eyes user, that's messed up

If I wanted to I can actually get free laser eye surgery thanks to my company's insurance plans.

>because I wasn't wearing my glasses
why the actual fuck don't you wear your glasses then?

BECAUSE HES A FREAKIN NERD LMAO

LIKE HAVING AN 80YO BOOMER AT THE SWITCH

GOOD THING NOBODY CHECKS HIS LOGS FOR INCOMPETENCE

> I've caused in the last 4 months because I wasn't wearing my glasses

lmao good on you.

Don't feel too bad, I'm second level support (amongst other things) for b2b sass and in 18 months of doing this support role I am yet to receive a call that wasn't operator stupidity (our software is financial software, quite powerful and you can shoot yourself in the foot if you aren't careful/deliberate). We had a customer rack up $15k in out of hours support fees (ontop of a 20k/mo support contract) in a single month earlier this year, all because they offshored their operations team. This generally involves me simply running a script to rollback the DB 15 minutes and replaying data up to just before their fuckup. One particular day I had to do that process 10 times.

most people are utterly incompetent at their jobs anyway, op is just blending in.

I dunno, sometimes I prefer to go without them

Get your shit together Daphne.

I HAD TO FAP WITH MY MIND THANKS YOU OP
FUCK YOU

They are not able to create all firewall rules in the first try EVER.

This. All those
>retarded NEETs on Jow Forums who LARP to have a job
are pretty good at LARPing.

I don't know what any of this means.

being glasses is suffering, thank god I'm only shortsighted and carry binoculars at all times

maybe you should wear your glasses you fucking idiot

>not getting free laser eyes
something is wrong with you

>oops

I sincerely hope you get fired.

I work at a company that has to chase down ISPs for this sort of thing all the time, wear your fucking glasses damnit

You should get Lasik only if your life expectancy is less than 15 years.
Shit doesn't last long.

Are you a Oracle or SAP guy?
I remember one SAP user talking about a customer's database, it was set up by the customer to have "redundant" entries for each item, it got so out of hand that it took 20 minutes to add something, and the thing grew by terabytes weekly.
I butchered it I'm a bit of a brainlet about this stuff.

So another ISP?

Turns out that the measuring routine already ran in its own thread, and creating a new thread from within somehow made it ignore the CalibrationProcessFinished flag. Essentially, the machine tried to calibrate itself and measure something at the same time, at 2 different positions.
Whoops.

Thats the fault of the person who should have reviewed your code.

We're 3 devs, ain't nobody got time for code reviews.
I'd blame the process engineer instead, who should have made a "dry" run first, during which no components actually touch.

based belgian :)

Glassfaggots should be culled out of the gene pool.
Their genes not only are weak but also dangerous as provided by OP
Prove me wrong.
Protip: You can't

>every time my internet goes out it's because of an autistic weebs fuckup
