If you hate what you do now, but would love what you would be doing and get paid well enough to actually live off the income with room for growth then the equation changes to what intrinsically motivates you?

The way you need to factor what you're living off of now is total pay minus transportation cost divided by hours of work + 4 for transit. That's your real pay, just because you get paid for 8 doesn't mean that you're off the clock when you commute, the money keeps going down per hour. If you're close enough to the new job that you can get there in 15 minutes, then you have just saved yourself 3.5 hours a day, so close to a part time job. In a total month you've saved 75.83 hours that you can spend with your daughter instead. On to the growth, what type of growth is at the potential job, personal or financial?

Shampoo posted:That's a way to think about it that I wasn't counting on. It makes a good point. For the growth, ideally both, but to begin with, personal growth. I'm a (senior level) IT janitor now, this job would put me in charge of the IT janitors. Just a few and a Team Lead rather than a full on manager, so a way to get experience. If the new job title has something along the lines of manager instead of senior, then the title alone would be worth the switch because then you can gain experience in management, think of it as an internship whereas you're building experience for future growth potential in lieu of pay. If it's another senior position, well it comes back to motivation again. If it is a management position, scope out the current management for retirement/etc. as far as how fast and when you can start climbing. It's never too early to think about the end game. Also, start digging into requirements for advancement if it requires certain pieces of paper, etc. If it does, then get it even if you don't advance there, it never hurts to have extra pieces of "i r smart" paper for future advancement elsewhere.

I think it would have been awesome to have had 2 major point releases, Windows 9.5/9.8. It seems logical that 10 will be MS next real solid OS, they've had a track record recently of standard/testing/standard/testing starting with XP then Vista then 7 then 8. I have a Yoga and 8 works perfect on it, over 2 years I've not had a single blue screen and from cold boot I can still be in windows in 7 seconds which is faster than my ipad with a stripped down os. The real issue I have with 8 is MS went whole hog on the touch interface which really crippled it as a usable standard desktop OS. edit: Just got it up and running and it's basically a live tiled start menu windows 7 with skydrive integration (it pulled over my user settings and files automatically from my laptop profile including desktop wallpaper from skydrive). And it has a multiple desktop thing going like linux that I'm digging so far. IE is still 11, but that's to be expected. It's missing some TPM and serial drivers, but that's to be expected, major devices like audio/video/network are present, it's a drat far sight better than the 8 preview and it actually performs like a regular machine would as well instead of the clunky previews that they've released in the past. keykey fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Oct 1, 2014 |

There's a guy in my parents neighborhood that's been going all out every year for Halloween for the past 6 years and it's a new theme every year. The guy is obviously retired and has a ton of disposable income since his front lawn is easily about 3500 square feet and is filled with trails and stuff for people to explore. Last year he did Pirates of the Caribbean, the year before it was Sponge Bob, there's always plenty of blood and everything to go around.

slip proof stairs posted:That's a bummer. She pretty much refuses to learn how to drive a manual, despite the fact that both my cars are manual and every car she has owned has been drivable less often than not. I have a 2002 cooper s and the most immediate thing that had issues is the radiator fan relays go bad. Just purchase a radiator from O'Reilly with a lifetime warranty for $120 and you're set, it only takes 30 minutes to replace. My replacement hasn't died yet, but it's good to know if it does I don't have to pay anything. Also 2002-2006 were non interference engines that are quite solid, the timing chain issue is on 2007+ which they changed engine manufacturers and types to interference engine, probably a cost thing. The auto transmissions are pretty lovely regardless of year and usually die at around 80k-100k miles, if that's all she knows how to drive, avoid a mini. If she knew how to drive stick, the mini manual transmissions are rock solid. I have 135k on mine and it still clicks in and out of gears like a brand new transmission. slip proof stairs posted:The things she likes the most on Minis are the size and that pretty cool looking mint blue paint: Blue with black stripes represent!

KozmoNaut posted:But this is what desktop Linux is supposed to be like. This is how we get people to use non-MS/Apple OSes on the desktop. It's fluid, intuitive, pretty and fast. Looks interesting, I'll give it a shot. The largest issue I've had with Linux in general is first, support. Obviously since it's free and a communal sort of software, support and installations for anything else are pretty lovely at best. Second is the reliability factor, did you just get a break in power or have kids that don't understand how to shut down a computer instead of just pressing the power button? Hopefully you don't get the dreaded broken pipe error. It's a craps shoot, hopefully not because it's easier to reload off a backup than it is to fix the drat thing.

Just gave it a shot and uhhh.. It's a thing.. There's a reason I haven't touched Linux again in close to 16 years. First is driver support. The manufacturer didn't have any Linux drivers, so I went to the chip set source and got a Linux driver there. Second, I had to extract it then run the make command in terminal, after 10 minutes of monkeying with it it finally worked. If the terminal has to be one of the first things a user touches, it's a failed OS. That is what alienates Linux from being anywhere close to being a viable option for 99.9% of the users out there. It's fine for web/mail/radius pool server environments, aka areas where computer nerds will be operating and maintaining the machine, but for home use forget it, it really offers absolutely nothing over any other OS. It installed in about 5 minutes as opposed to 10 for windows/OS X which was nice, but then came the driver installation to be up and going. That took hunting, extracting, making, then running as opposed to click, install, done. A driver installation should just be something that happens and shouldn't feel like you've accomplished anything of value since it's something that's an essential component. edit: I also had to disable UEFI and go back to legacy otherwise it would poo poo a brick and artifact in the last 10% of installation for some reason. keykey fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Oct 9, 2014 |

Welp, it seems this builds default driver set didn't have the e1000 (e1000e-3.1.0.2) driver in its db already, it also had lovely to non-existent UEFI support. I used elementaryos-stable-amd64.20130810.iso which was what the default download link kicks to.

bandman posted:While my wife and I have been separated, I have had lots of time on my hands. To distract myself and keep from spiraling further into the depths of depression and self-loathing, I have been playing back through some old PS2 games from way back. Right now I'm playing Final Fantasy X and I forgot how much I enjoyed playing it the first time around. My cousin and his wife divorced after nearly 20 years of marriage a couple years ago. To occupy his thoughts and more importantly time so he didn't spiral, he took a stab at stand up comedy. It ended up being one of the best things he's ever done because it allowed him to throw his thoughts out there and spin it into humor for other people. Your mileage may vary.

That reminds me, we went to see Boston play at Shoreline Amphitheater a few months ago and one of the guys that played in the eagles was opening up. I don't really care for the Eagles, but he had great stage presence so he and his band were entertaining. Though if he has been touring for the past 40 years and wasn't obviously something was wrong. Anyway, he goes through the set and starts the opening riff for Hotel California. I knew if I didn't go to the bathroom then for a sit down strike the crowd would be waaaaaay too long afterward. As it turns out, that was a great move. There's nothing quite like getting serenaded to a deuce, especially by the guy from that one band.

We have a few dams around here that were built specifically to supply power to the bay area and so-cal that were blue supported, so I really don't see why they don't play that up, but whatever. The campaign plot twists we get here are "THIS GUY DIDN'T DO HIS JOB TO PROTECT THE AGRICULTURE AGAINST DROUGHT!" "OH YEAH, WELL MY OPPONENT SENDS ALL THE WATER TO SO-CAL ALONG WITH YOUR JOOOOOOOOOOBBBSSSSS." So, it's more blue collar ads in this region peppered with a lot more ads that try to make it sound like they can control the flow of rain. I was wondering if other states political ads were as loving backwards as ours and it appears they are. In our region it boils down to both parties playing folksy music because shucks, farm land. Red says jobs and agriculture and "home town values" whatever in the gently caress that means since we produce the nations meth, also blue guy doesn't do his job.
