Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML

Pick and choose your battles. There's some people you just have to be nice to, especially at a job you're trying to keep.

Just like with food, you don't mess with people who handle important things.

You should consider anger management classes

YDI. Never pick a fight with the system admin. If they chose to do so, they could probably get the boss fired, let alone you. Even if they are horrible admins they can still do major damage if provoked.

You're a dick for exploding at an innocent person over something they cannot control while they are helping you. Apologize.

"Due to her taking ages to enable my new email account." It's right there in his Fml. He's clearly impatient and feels like he should not be made to wait.

Maybe he can't afford to wait. Busy with work, deadlines approaching, etc.

Alright, I'll admit defeat. The way I pictured it was her at his desk, doing the set up with him. It didn't occur to me that perhaps she was just shipping out emails. Oh and I love that you pointed out my accidental innuendo. I had no idea until you pointed it out. Proceed to down vote. I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

You only have to take it with a grain of salt #91. Don't be so hard on yourself, a pinch of salt is just way too much ;)

You should be able to prove based upon the time sent that it wasn't you and get them in trouble.

Easier said than done, especially if OP could potentially access work email from home. One has to be the, oh I don't know, "System Admin", to ultimately prove it wasn't them.

Emails can be sent with a time delay.

Often it is not WHAT you say it is how you say it. Learn to be assertive OP instead of losing your shit on people. Sorry but YDI

That is unbelievably unprofessional of her... good luck OP with telling them :)

#21, ". . . like a woman scorned." Of course, this was written before there was such a thing as an IT woman. Dante needs to add at least one more concentric level of hell.

And THAT is why you don't **** with the sys admin.

Maybe the IT person hadn't got laid in a while :-D

Thanks, Captain Obvious, for pointing that out to those of us that didn't understand that concept when reading the FML.

People you should never yell at: -Your doctor -Infants -The person who makes your burger -Your sysadmin

Husband/wife should be on that list. You sleep with this person & they have way too many opportunities to smother you with a pillow.

Well isn't that nice for you. If you have an argument, then make it. Saying you disagree with an opinion is worthless without offering your own. I wait with bated breath.

When I was in elementary school, my mother taught me to always make friends with the lunch ladies, secretaries, custodians, and bus drivers - they can make your life infinitely easier. When I got into the working world, she amended the list to waitstaff, secretaries, IT, custodians, and human resources. Best advice I've ever received.

Never mess with a sys admin, you don't know the shit we put up with while giving you service with a smile - a sys admin
