My mom was a little more computer savvy than most people so instead of doing a yahoo or aol account she bought a domain name that was our last name and set it up so that we were firstname @ lastname.net. She eventually let it expire so I looked into buying it back a few years ago and I was able to get it back. I kinda wanna start using it on resumes cause I think it's a neat talking point and I think they're fairly rare to see these days.

I supposedly have a job offer coming in tomorrow, seemed like a weird hybrid of IT and biomedical. But I’d be on the clock while driving and that sounded pretty nice

I worked somewhere like that, if you weren’t on the list you’d need an escort. If it was just you, well too bad. And you needed an ID or another escort just to get to that gate, since the facility was on a military base. And even after that I think within the building itself you needed two keys to get through the locked doors that were housing the nerve gas that they’d run tests on. IT working in a facility with nerve gas, never again

It seemed like we never had enough DisplayPort cables when I worked helpdesk. But for some reason we had entire drawers full of DVI and VGA. I threw away bunches of those to make more room

That is ringing a ton of bullshit alarms in my head. I’ve never heard of the government mandating a cap like that because I don’t think that’s how that works at all unless the salary exceeds $180k or something. Generally the government will say hey we need someone to fill these rolls, contract companies will bid on it, and whoever wins has determined that they can make a profit if they pay X number of people Y amount. It is entirely up to the contract company to determine how much everyone gets paid and they can dish out raises whenever. For them to say there’s a hard upper limit is them telling you they made it up and refuse to pay people more. It might be possible that they’re telling the truth but they’ll never show you the specific wording of the contract anyway so you’d never be able to find out. I’d be demanding to see that wording anyway because I don’t believe it for a second. Like “oh sorry can’t give out raises the government said so” it’s just so much bullshit I’d be loving furious

I would get the same amount of work done at home as I do in the office which right now is none, because they don’t give me anything to do.

GreenNight posted:Gotta make your own work. I'm watching yearly security videos today. Boring as all gently caress. I’ve been plugging away at my WGU degree, I learned the basics of ansible and did some python, now it’s on to the real python class that some other goon was complaining about. Problem is I’ve got one class left after python then I’m done. I think I was going to study for more networking certs afterwards

We had another goon do a masters there, I think it was Appl3 or something. Pretty sure he got it done in six months. I had some real unmotivated terms and basically wasted two terms doing nothing, life is life as it were

Pretty sure my buddy got our domain password changed to Th1sIsTh3w4Y2021! when I worked for the army. Our sysadmin rolled with it since we were just help desk, "yeah good enough"

Burn down the building. Alternatively gather up all the IT equipment and shoot it into the sun

For that kind of money just throw away the one that isn’t working and get one that is, repeat until it’s no longer a problem or you run out of money
