RFC2324 posted:Had in interview where my anxiety issues around phones came up, and one of the interviewers just nodded and commented that it was common call center PTSD. It took me many years to get rid of feeling intense discomfort and anxiety whenever the phone rang.

I'm going to start using the Delisle scale for temperature. Summer was nice this year, it's been down to 105 degrees for all of July. Not looking forward to 160 degree winters though.

There's a small portable app called MouseJiggler that imperceptibly shifts the mouse pointer a few pixels and back every x seconds. I've used it for years because I don't like enforced screensaver timeouts. https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=mousejiggler

Is there any reason not to just go with firstname.lastname? Why do people come up with these convoluted abbreviation schemes?

Usernames I can understand, especially if you have to deal with lovely old systems, but people were talking about email addresses.

As far as major outages go... Cut off an entire floor's network access by fatfingering a trunk command on a switch stack, which also dropped my own remote access to the switch stack and forced me to barge in on a board meeting with a laptop and serial cable. (the network closet for that floor was attached to the biggest meeting room) Nuked a production database because our test and prod environments weren't airgapped and it wasn't obvious that you could accidentally connect to the prod database from the test app server. Fortunately it had locally stored backups and was restored within an hour with no data loss.

People who are too lazy and/or incompetent to define granular permissions and demand that their lovely service account be given full admin privileges are my favorite people to shoot down.

Internet Explorer posted:Yeah, it sounds like a pretty awful interview tbh. Standard MSP stuff. Glad you're switching jobs, but don't plan on being there forever. Use it as a stepping stone to something better. Also after taking a look at the code behind my current client's dumpster fire of an in-house application I'm getting more and more convinced that a lot of people in our field are still in the "fake it" phase. They failed to build it so front end, middleware and database nodes can self-recover so if any part of the system restarts, everything needs to be manually reconnected. Front end clustering doesn't work so the client is demanding 100% 24/7 uptime from the single front end node. I'm very glad I have nothing to do with that clusterfuck.

I'm surprised that more people don't start a collection to pay someone to shank managers like that in the parking lot.

Upcharging someone 100% for materials is a scam in itself, but the person could probably have kept doing it and made a lot more money than the $70 they got away with here.

When I started my current contract I asked my boss how he wanted time reported and he just replied "Just let me know when you take days off. Otherwise I assume you're an adult who can manage their own time." He's a good boss.
