A guy I used to work with travels like every other weekend. Just picks a random place that has a cheap flight, flies out Friday night, checks out some local breweries, and flies home Sunday. He's a single dude with no other responsibilities and thats what he likes to do. Super jealous and think it would be really cool. When the kids are grown, I'd love to just go to google flights, pick a cheap flight somewhere and spend a weekend somewhere I've never been.

He's a single dude with no other responsibilities and thats what he likes to do. Super jealous and think it would be really cool. That's literally what I do a lot of the time. I've been to all 50 states, mostly on weekenders (so I don't need to take any PTO), see the big stuff, check out local breweries, and sample the flavor before heading home Sunday night and back to work on Monday. When possible and applicable I take my girlfriend with me. Impromptu weekend trips are great to shake things up and keep the routines interesting.

I'd love to travel like that but I'm too drat tall for economy seats. Flying on a budget is miserable for me. Which unfortunately rules out (possibly) cool consulting jobs that require frequent travel.

Thanks all, I talked it over with a friend and I'm feeling more grounded now. Actively looking for jobs and in the worst case I've got ~10 months of living expenses saved. All I want is to work for people who know more than I do and act like adults, rather than 40 year old tweens.

My issue is I dealt with some bad times in my life by staying so busy I didn't have to think about things. I don't recommend that method.

I seem to be doing all Linux work in the entire org, and that's getting stressful… Second week I might hope on a train and see where that takes me. I have an unlimited rail pass as long as I stick to regional trains and buses and ferries, so I don't have to plan ahead either. GreenNight posted:Yo it takes a minute to migrate a 50tb vm from a.

My advice is to quit your job and go hike a long trail. I did that and got a better job afterwards. It’s a 100% success rate.

I dealt with an abusive boss (make no mistake, this is what you're dealing with) for far too long, and the day I handed in my notice my mood improved so dramatically it was like a light switch. I did this before I had another job lined up - I wouldn't recommend that on general principles because not having an income and watching your savings dwindle is a layer of stress on top of that of job hunting. But it was better for me than the alternative. It may help if you actively disengage from your current job - I mean stop caring about meeting any expectations your boss may have (since they aren't achievable anyway). That combined with actively job hunting will hopefully improve your mood, because you're taking steps to get out of your situation, rather than just sitting there feeling trapped. I feel like that was my biggest mistake when I was going through it.

Kinda sucks to learn that my department (which is less than 6 months old) apparently we're already going through budget cuts on staff. Fired one guy who had it coming and two who didn't. That's depressing. I think I still have reasonable job security, but man.

I was just reading the hdparm manpage because I needed some obscure feature. It's the only manual that keeps shouting at me.   I appreciate that the warnings aren't copy pasted. Someone thought about each warning and whether merely bold text wasn't enough and ALL CAPS was necessary. Also, I think the author wants to tell me something.

Serious Hardware/Software Crap › Working in IT 3.0: EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I've been having a hell of a time at work and I sure would love to complain about it but it's probably too easy for that to come bite me in the rear end at some point. tokin opposition posted:Thanks all, I talked it over with a friend and I'm feeling more grounded now.

SNOW is one if those things that is only as good as the effort you put into it if you have a dedicated team that knows what they're doing it can be a perfectly reasonable user experience most orgs do not put that level of effort into it

It's a platform not a product, and a company buying into it without committing to giving it full time developer resources is going to have a bad time

The Fool posted:SNOW is one if those things that is only as good as the effort you put into it Except it gets slower the more you put into it. Simple things like "loading a form" or "searching for a thing" are loving abysmal for us because of all the background scripting they're using to populate box drop downs.

Have fun. I've been 7 times. Here's some advice - Skip the massive keynotes and watch from your hotel room if you don't want to get up early. The conference food is terrible so I recommend expensing your meals. The most valuable sessions will be the smallest random companies talking about how they implemented something unique. Make sure to sign up for partner happy hours and events if you want to meet other ServiceNow people.

We've had performance issues with SNOW, oh yes. We have a team of 5 just managing our 9000+ kinds of Configuration Items. On an INCident ticket, I have buttons to assign it to the affected user's local onsite team, the support team for the CI, or send it back to Service Desk to try routing it again. I can start a Bomgar remote support session with another button. It's integrated with Nexthink so I can pull up device health information and run remote actions. People complain that you have to create a Business Service in order to fill out the form to have a Jenkins job create a new VM for you, but the primary and delegates on the service automatically get notifications when a maintenance window is scheduled for the ESXi host or NAS that the VM lives on. We also have enough of a license spend that they put engineering resources into optimizing their way out of our performance issues and allotted more compute to us. It really is a platform, and we've gotten it mature enough that were realizing real benefits from the automation we can implement. Even HR, Finance, and Facilities use it. That creates a one-stop landing page for requesting things or reporting breakage across the enterprise. I'd estimate at least 20 FTEs and 30 or 40 contractors work on the platform now, and it's worth it.

At my current job I'm directly responsible for the requirement to have an application defined in BMC before resources can be deployed via terraform, and by god I'd do it again.

Did the new teams client kill the option to get a notification when a coworkers status changes, or is that something that can be disabled on tenant level. I’m currently missing this option and it completely sucks to keep track of when coworkers in different timezones come online…

I was talking with the other person doing support this morning and we did a quick comb through sailpoint and some separations tickets, found out a total of 12 people across our entire division got let go this friday under 5 months of our division's lifespan. Our division total was only 50 people at the start across Service Desk, IPNT, Access and License Management. There's been some reductions across the entire board at my org but oof. 24% feels like a lot.
