They aren't interviewing, there's no job listing, people have been coming by and hugging me all day, there's a literal "Goodbye Larchesdanrew" banner in the break room with a photo people are signing. Last night there was a farewell dinner for me that CE was specifically invited to, and his only response was "who's leaving?" And then he walked off before anyone could answer. He's actually been telling me stuff I need to do next week and apparently my raucous laughter and "are you serious?" Weren't clues enough. If it wasn't for the fact that HR literally has a signed resignation letter along with exit paperwork right now, I'd be worried. It's going to be  as gently caress come Monday.

In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality. Anger — When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, it becomes frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; '"Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?". Bargaining — The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise. Depression — "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die soon so what's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?" During the fourth stage, the individual becomes saddened by the mathematical probability of death. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen. Acceptance — "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."; "Nothing is impossible." In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions.

I work for a smallish non-profit as an accountant, but made the mistake of mentioning that I build my own computers at home. Suddenly I became the organizations tech guru. Over the past two years I've replaced 35 XP workstations with new Win 7 hardware, built 2 brand new security DVR systems and a new win 2012 server to replace our ailing SBS 2003 server. I also somehow successfully migrated the Exchange 2003 server that was part of SBS and corrupting mailboxes left and right to a new Exchange 2010 install which has (knock on wood) been stable for six months now. I have had no formal sysadmin experience or training before this job, so I attribute much of my ability to do the job to Google and stuff I've picked up from this thread. I've been reading this thread (and it's predecessor) from the beginning over the last couple years. I'm still only up to page 550, but I just had to post because... A Sticky Note came in! quote:"Emergency!!! The printer in question is a Lanier MP C3002 that we rarely if ever have had a problem with, and that we have a service contract on. If there is a problem we're supposed to call the printer tech using the number posted on the printer rather than trying to fix it ourselves. I walk over anyway to take a look before calling. Sure enough there's an error message on the screen: quote:Please put 8 1/2" by 11" paper into tray #3

Panning back and forth across the basement, a pile of refuse under the station will occasionally shift positions across the basement, the lens of discarded cameras and screens staring back soulfully.

The guy who normally handles our enterprise Bigfix and SCCM quit last week. So now I get to learn how to do all that stuff. Bonus I have to migrate from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 before the 1st of December. I guess this is one way of building a resume up.
