Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

I'm a vet of the frames war myself, they totally screwed with AOL Browser:



BTW, if's gonna be this hard for me to combine two Docusign tenants into one, should I be checking out some competitors as a contingency plan (operating on the assumption that some might be willing to do most of the migration work if we switch over)? Does anyone here administer something like SignNow or EverSign? If I can find something that's easier to work with and cheaper too, it might be worth the hassle.

Got a new job, basically doubled my pay still doing help desk. I'm with an MSP currently, and the new gig is working in the same industry that the MSP services. Will be relocating for it. The pay increase isn't what some people on here make but it's honestly life changing. I'm extremely excited. It'll be a lot of what I'm doing now but I should have access to new technologies as well to learn about and work with. 18 days of PTO which is better than what I'm at now, but I'm not sure how that holds up industry wide now that companies are going away from vacation+sick and rolling into PTO.

Congratulations!! I remember my second job in helpdesk well, which also nearly doubled my pay in a similarly life changing manner. Enjoy the new gig, and the decentish (for America) PTO! Are you still with an MSP or doing internal helpdesk now?

I work with lawyers currently with my MSP so I know what I'm working with. Some can be brutal, their lives revolve around billable time. I hate DMS systems like image and netdocs though.

And Salesforce bought out Slack. I guess that's not a bad thing. I'm glad it wasn't Oracle or IBM.

Some of the quotes I'm reading are even more of a joke.

quote:

“Slack has had massive success, but ultimately it was running into a brick wall, and that brick wall was Microsoft,” said Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives. “In terms of [attracting new enterprise clients], it was tougher and tougher going up against the 800 pound gorilla in Redmond.”

Yeah. $28 billion sale price, such a brick wall. I hate the expectation of perpetual, unfaltering growth in this culture. Yeah yeah, "that's capitalism." As I was saying.

Given that there is Teams, Slack, Cisco Whatever Chat, Zoom and Facebook for Work, etc. there's plenty of room in the world for more than just one messaging service.

I thought it was so freaking ironic that Zuckerberg had to stop letting people in custom avatars in their work profiles or whatever because they got too political.

I have a few co-workers whom literally have a photo of Trump as their own avatar.

I think my picture in teams/whatever else it gets shared to is 7 years old at this point. I'd be happier if it piped in my facebook profile pic because then I would get the joy of explaining who hedonism bot is.

Years ago I sent my boss two photo when it was requested by HR that we all have one. One normal and one in a Buddy Jesus pose as a joke.

Well fast forward another year and our RFID cards were now going to double as lanyard IDs. I was on PTO, so he submitted a photo on my behalf. And that's how I got a Buddy Jesus ID card. And I love it.
