I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.

My unemployment dried up a month ago so looks like Target has a new junior member to stock shelves.

Thus ends the saga of larchesdanrew.

A friend of mine took a detour through the kroger electronics department in between tech jobs, but he made it back in. You will too.

You just spin this as "work ethic" stuff. "Took whatever job I could get to make ends meet" and all that.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.

Keep after it, Witch. Your career is out there and you’ll find it.

Main Issue:
KSP2 will throw a PlayerPrefsException error when the game's registry Key/Entries is filled up with too much information,
At that point KSP2 will never again complete the initial load into the main menu.

Whats Happening:
KSP2 is adding information every time a SOI change happens or if a save file has been loaded.
It all appears to be similar information repeated again and again.

Alright, doing some investigating it seems that they are saving the Pqs preferences based off of the instance ID of the pqs object, which, according to unity's own documentation, changes between runs of the game, hence why its saving 10 trillion different copies of the same data

There's a ticket here that got escalated to my group in closed status, with weekly angry updates from the call center complaining it's out of SLA and that we need to provide an update.

I'm going to continue to ignore it and see what happens.

It's also for a simple request that I don't have access to do myself so they should very much do it themselves.

It came from the other side of the ticket:

Helpdesk has spent two weeks and three laptops figuring out why I couldn't run Adobe Audition or get it installed after my old WFH laptop had a wifi failure


As it turns out we may have discovered an unreported conflict between Adobe CC and our brand new Enterprise Level Antimalware Program

Hence why I'm choosing to ignore it.

We have a bunch of ticketing schemas for different things, and the customer facing one is one that I use fairly rarely and in limited scope. I've seen closed tickets treated like they're still active before and I've given up trying to understand how it's used. My boss has outlined what we do and our specific role and I do exactly what he says.

I've posted about it before but our call center is insanely bad and it's only getting worse.

Your fridge isn't going to start a fire or trip a circuit breaker unless it's badly broken, one that fits under a desk probably couldn't even damage those little trash-tier APCs all too many companies have under desks. No harm, no foul.

Those pieces of poo poo on the other hand do all three regularly and should be removed on sight. If you're cold in the office there are almost certainly better ways to solve that problem.

I never get cold in the office because my coworkers keep setting the thermostat to stupid hot and still loudly announce they're cold by doing an exaggerated shiver sound effect and saying "it's cold in here" when it's loving 26°C.

Please send excess cold. I'm melting.

The job market for tech workers is TERRIBLE rn. After I got laid off I could barely get an interview for a mid-to-senior level position. I realized that because the market is so bad I'm competing with people more skilled than I am who are aiming low.

I ended up having to aim low myself and go back to desktop support. Weird thing is I just got converted from a contractor to working directly for my employer and I'm now making significantly more money than I did at my last job.

Aim low if you need to and climb the ladder again, it'll happen a lot faster this time bc you're already very skilled.

Just took a desktop support job myself, after putting months of time and effort into getting my cybersecurity certifications. Why does IT go through so many "lots of jobs/no jobs" cycles? Is it just because it's one of the first departments to get cut when a company isn't doing well?

Everyone who is ancillary to making money is always in danger to some degree. IT is really easy to outsource quickly, or run poorly by piling lots of poo poo onto fewer people. Once the cost of doing things the stupidest way possible outstrips any short term layoff gains your department gets their hiring budget back.
