Fanatical service: My supervisor delivered substandard customer service to one of our clients. I pulled him out behind a dumpster and went to town on him with a baseball bat. He will never disappoint any of our customers again.

Passion for technology: my rapidly growing collection of porn and warez demands that I stay on top of storage trends and video playback methods. Also, in a completely unrelated aspect, using ACLs to secure files on company servers. Don't know if this is the right company, but it was the first one on the Googz with some of those bullshit ~~core values~~ http://www.fullymanaged.com/company/why-choose-us.html

Two jobs ago my director was cool with me using an unused md1000 for offsite backup of my Linux mkv collection, as long as he had access to the network share.

I hate companies that dont list the pay rate and a rough benefits summary in the job posting. How do I know if it's even worth my time to apply if you arent going to list that stuff? It just seems like it makes a lot more work for both parties to have to waste time applying and filtering candidates only to have someone not interested due to the pay.

It's annoying but just go with whatever you feel is adequate compensation or "market rate".

Our dba/business apps guy just brought us three sysadmins a 6pack mixer of good craft beer each, to thank us for all the little requests he brings us all the time. He even listened from a while back when I told him he could bribe me with dogfish Head 90 minute anytime. Merry christmas to me!

Tomorrow is the unit holiday party, kindly paid for by the three contracting companies. It is also the resumption of our annual Nerf battle, which has been given our captain's blessing. The storage guy has been here for years and started this wonderful tradition, and between him and I we have more Nerf guns than pretty much everyone else combined. Just to increase participation we've been going around randomly for the last week or so and shooting people. If they object, we shoot them again. Today has revealed a large upsurge in the number of Nerf guns in the unit, including the unit commander and the NCOIC. First we feast, then we fight!

I know it's dumb but from the perspective of HR and Management it's different. Find something online or a book that goes over how to answer loaded interview questions and answer the questions. Most candidates half-rear end this section and management always loves a team player. Yes, they know deep down it's bullshit too but sometimes you just got to follow the rules but remember you can make this work in your favor when the compensation part of the interview comes up

Probably that they need a job to make money so that they don't starve and die. Or they realize that employee protections are non-existent in the US where you can be fired at any time for any reason from most jobs and are effectively always on probation anyway.

This isn't that long, it's a few weeks or something. In sweden it's normal with 3-6mo probation, but you have full benefits et c during that time. During probation, you can quit or be fired with 2 week notice. After that, your notice period is like, 1-3 months.
