Don't know why you people are still engaging him. He comes in here once a month and posts something stupid and provocative out of absolutely nowhere and gets 30 bites on it, then backseat moderates and says it's getting off topic, then fucks off for another month. It should be obvious by now.

You have a modest amount of money, but to answer your question, nobody, literally nobody on earth cares, but you keep posting about it anyway.

There are some of us of us who don't have a family or one we'd rather not spend time with for perfectly legitimate reasons and instead put all our time into our careers.

The thing is though, remember when he was just corvettefisher? Remember when he was downtrodden and didn't speak up for himself, had to deal with a 24 drive RAID 0, and SHSC spent a bunch of time telling him to grow a spine?

It's just hilarious to me that he seems to have done so, only the spine twisted horribly during the growth process and now he's got a huge chip on his shoulder for unfathomable reasons and spends a bunch of time not only hugely overcompensating for once being an irrelevant nothing but firmly denying that it's anything of the sort.

I guess what I'm saying is spergs gonna sperg, and I'm ever so grateful because it's more laughs for the :10bux: . God I love this forum! </down(s)periscope>

P.S. DAF, if you ever need a new job, I'm happy to pay you $110k. Don't worry your contract will only be for 80 hours a week - almost nothing really. I mean if you want to work more on top of that that's good too and you should probably do that to make sure you're really the best worker at the company - we don't like subpar performance around here.

I consider myself a huge narcissist, constantly thinking I'm very intelligent and I'll get very far in my career.

I would still never, ever say whatever the gently caress DAF says in his over the top meltdowns. Dude, you seriously need to see someone (a professional someone), if you're like that to people you actually meet in person you're probably one of the most insufferable guys I've come to know.

I'm tasting the sweetest revenge you can dream of. Seen a very comprehensive the big boss for giving my resignation, completely bypassing my manager. This moron is directly responsible for three departures in 6 months (nice average) - bad luck, all three are people the General Manager estimates in key roles, including me. He is destined to have a really nice meeting tomorrow morning, which he doesn't even expect. :commissar: Too bad he can't be fired as he's here thanks to the shareholders.

Can't you just section out how WSUS updates clients? Then again this assumes you are doing a proper OU/AD/WSUS infrastructure.

You can state which updates are approved for what groupings but no, it's not defined by wsus. Wsus configuration is basically for the downloading and approval of updates. Everything else is client settings through gpo which you can split up and define by ou.

About a 6/10 on the DAF scale for the pay, but the >40 hours a week lowers you to a 4.5/10 - so it could be a lot worse.

What do you mean by edits? Do actually do the video editing yourself? Where in the country do you work?

In general, that is not horrible for client support type roles, but not great either.

Chickenwalker posted:

I work in NYC. We don't edit but we maintain all the Avid PCs/Macs and troubleshoot if there are any problems with projects or media, which there are almost constantly. It's not an exclusively client support role though, because we manage the network and storage too. I'm planning on getting some certifications to see if I can get a little more authority and pay but I don't know. I have a film school background not CS, and even though I know my poo poo I don't know if I could get anyplace else to give me the time of day without meeting the typical prerequisites. And this job is slowly killing my prospects of getting an actual production position, even if it is a stable paycheck.

With the hours I work I make roughly $11/hour which really sucks, I feel like I should be making closer to $60-70k.
