Every morning one of us would find the mirror covered in spray of partially bloody snot bits and even after three years we never figured out what goddamn creep was doing it, or what exactly they were doing. The nose crunchies on the mirror actually seems worse than hallway making GBS threads to me. I've become desensitized to random poo poo on the floor.

DigitalMocking posted:The only problem I have is that senior staff salaries tend to just die off. There's no raises beyond a static 2% year regardless of your performance review once you crest 6 figures. I'm between 30 - 80% underpaid in the current market (depending on the level of responsibilities in the jobs in question) and I'm really hoping the new HR team is going to unfuck some of this. There's evidence they are, some other folks have had reasonable near market adjustments. I've been told mine is in line for the new fiscal year starting October 1st. I'm in a similar boat but I'm in a much crappier body of water. I'm 100% remote (a few hours from the nearest corporate office) and I'm never going to get another significant raise around here, but the local pay scale is considerably lower. If I ever get RIFed, it's a long-rear end commute or a local job and a 40% reduction in salary for me. Not entirely unrelated question: I got real good at Perl scripting, then my job changed and I don't have occasion to do a lot of scripting anymore. What I do write, I have to hand off to some other support team, so I've mostly been writing in sh lately. I want to get comfortable with Python and Ruby so I can get my resume out of the 90s. Can anyone recommend good books on those languages for someone who's already got a decent background and doesn't need babby's first script?

At one of my previous jobs we also had an incident with someone making GBS threads in the middle of our auditorium. I never heard any more about it from security, so I think it was a visitor.

And don't forget you will "increase your own risk of infection" and "you will lose the respect of your coworkers."

I used to work at a gas station and one of the mechanics would always shoot snot rockets at the wall across the toilet when he was taking a poo poo. Man I don't miss being a teenager working at a gas station.

Would you be supporting an application sold by the company? Cause that can lead to niche experience that doesn't translate well. If it's not that, gangbusters, have fun, but otherwise something to consider.

Not that I'd ever want to goof off secretly there, because they are very open about allowing you to goof off if there's no work to be done (which is infrequent, but lasts for hours when it does happen). Mostly I'd just want to take advantage of their training opportunities, which they pay for.

"Automate The Boring Stuff" is what's recommended by the Python thread, as well as "Learn Python the Hard Way". I used ATBS and I really liked it. I had no real experience besides an intro to java 10+ years ago in college and some bash/perl scripting at work. ATBS is available for free online or in (e)book for a small fee I believe. It helped me get started and I really enjoy automating stuff with it these days.

I just worked on a network with a fully functional vtp configuration. That was nice to have to only configure the vlan on one switch but man I fear for the day they screw the pooch when adding a switch. No backups and no internal network admin with a good understanding of it all.
