"So about those making GBS threads dogs loving on your desktop" seems a little brusque.

Honestly I'm just going to mention it to his supervisor and let him handle it.

I don't get paid near enough to kinkshame.

But it's still a good coach-able moment!

"Hey buddy, got a second? We all saw what was on your desktop, and I'm not a snitch but who knows what could happen? So my advice is if anyone asks you in your next job interview why you no longer work here, just say "It was a bad cultural fit" and refuse to elaborate. Also maybe keep whatever you use to rustle your jimmies on a personal machine you don't use for work next time?"

If it makes you all feel any better, during one morning's stand up, another engineer was discussing their previous day about having to go to the sherrifs office to get re-fingerprinted. They quickly clarified that they did so to refile a permit for a gun they have that new legislation required him to register, and just picked up the gun in question and showed it on the call.

We're all remote, but that was a bit of an eye opener, for sure.

Streaming and media upload is the main purpose of faster than gigabit links in most of the cases since you get decent uploads that way.

We can be circumspect about how many opposable thumbs those dogs making GBS threads and loving have, though I'm unsure if that would make the resulting mental image better or worse?

Best be polite about it, like seeing dick pics on your buddy's phone when he's scrolling through his gallery showing you stuff. Maybe it's his dick, maybe it's dick he's getting. Either way, pretend it didn't happen and/or give him endless poo poo over it. Depends on the nature of your friendship, I guess?

My 10g is for iSCSI traffic. I’ve had 10g in the house for years, starting with infiniband and then switching to fiber, and yet I still get exited to see aggregate traffic at 3gigs/sec. It makes it all feel worth it somehow.

Someone sent me an email the other day with a fault they'd found. They had no subject line, was marked as high priority, and didn't actually describe the fault, just highlighted two numbers from a dashboard. And we have a ticketing system for faults.

We then had a back and forth via email with them actually getting more specific and explaining the problem and me saying "yeah we'll get on that, soon as you've got the ticket number let me know and I'll get it done" over and over again. Just raise the loving ticket.

I GOT FLAT FEET JUST LIKE MY HERO MEGAMAN

A side job came in.

A computer wouldn't recognize a network printer at a church, and I was contacted to help. Over the last year my confidence has grown immeasurably thanks to a kickass (though demanding) new job (went from Xerox tech to MSP to Senior Network Engineer in 2 years), and I thought to raise my personal rates from $20 to $100/hour. They accepted.

Got there to find out that the printer was not actually on the network, everyone printed via Bluetooth. The computer in question did not have Bluetooth capability. I was able to get the printer on the wireless network, but the computer was hardwired and whoever set up the network created different subnets for wired and wireless. I gave them three options; get a $15 wireless dongle for the computer, hardwire the printer, or give me access to the router to fix it.

They opted to give me access to the router, but someone had changed the password. I found an ethernet cable and brought it to the printer only to find another cable under the printer, one end plugged into the wall behind it. I plugged it in, it got a wired IP, installed the driver on the comp, done.

56 minutes. They asked if it was $100 charge, I confirmed. Easiest $100 I've ever made, and I'm hella proud that I was able to stick to it.
