HR lady asked me if "people used LinkedIn to look for jobs"

I said well it's pretty much Indeed.com and LinkedIn when it comes to job searches these days.

She had never heard of Indeed. We post job openings in 3 places. Local community college, local state university, and the Pure Michigan Talent Connect website.

To be fair, Outlook preview is off and you shouldn't be using an admin privilege account.

MF_James posted:

Really you shouldn't, you should have your regular user account and then an elevated account to use when you need elevated privileges. If you really want to go crazy with it, use something like ERPM and then you have to check out the password, put a reason for doing so, when you're done, you check it in, and the password spins.

*edit*

This is also useful for a reason other than security, it keeps lazy admins from loving up when they make a change and not realizing it works for an admin user but not for a regular user.

My boss at $AWFUL_JOB would always steal my power adapter from my dock and then leave with it and I'd never see it again. I ended up ziptie-ing it to my desk with a bunch of wraps. Once in a while I'd come in and see a few of them were attacked, but not compromised, and someone else's adapter would be gone. A few times he'd send these emails at 2am:

Pissing me off: This Dell SC5020. Do not buy these. I tried to get my company to go with Nimble or Pure but instead they went with this poo poo, where dedupe was patched in 2 revisions ago. Now we're out of space and have to buy more disks less then a year into owning this thing because it's not worth a single poo poo and uses loving tiering in an all-flash config, for some ungodly reason.

Also pissing me off: My wireless mouse scroll wheel keeps flipping around when I use it. Does anyone have a good full-size wireless mouse recommendation?

Happy with the one Nimble we have so far, though I'm extremely paranoid about HPE turning it into poo poo (like they do with everything else). There were already warnings of that because when we started talking to Nimble they weren't bought yet and the quoting process was extremely easy, as in the sales guy sent me a spreadsheet of pricing immediately on request with no bullshit about registering opportunities and all that other crap. By the time we got to actually purchasing, HPE had locked it all behind their usual lovely sales process (not that they're the only ones, I hate every SAN vendor for doing this) and it was like pulling teeth to actually get the thing purchased. We ended up going through a VAR simply because that's how HPE does business and we couldn't just easily order the drat thing even though we knew what we wanted. I mean technically you can on the site but I firmly believe HPE makes their site a pile of poo poo on purpose so that ordering things off it becomes harder than just asking a VAR to spec the parts.

As far as HPE's own chassis, assuming the new one we have is from HPE, my biggest complaint would be that the thing's huge, depthwise. Something like 35-38" deep. (Also 4U, but eh). Seems absurd given that it's full of 2.5" flash drives and as far as I know they're not spaced depthwise through the unit and are all at the front. So far operations/configuration-wise however, no complaints, and given that no one has time to be a storage admin anymore I'm a big fan of the simplicity and ease of setup. Guess we'll see how long that lasts.

I gotta admit, TrackIT is probably one of the least-worst ticketing systems I’ve used/admined. Basic interface, queues for teams, get in, close the ticket, get out. Then again we were only using the ticket functionality and nothing else.
