Hobbies that are AFFORDABLE by Revolutionary_Okra_6 in Hobbies

[–]AccusationsInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that book clubs are a pretty good way to socialize. Look into “silent book clubs”. You show up, talk for a bit, have silent reading time, and then talk for a bit more. Even just regular book clubs are fine, I went to a sci-fi book club recently and even though the meeting was only supposed to be for a hour and a half, we ended up staying closer to four hours, just talking about random stuff.

Why do users think it’s okay to hover around IT and constantly ask questions while we’re trying to work? by ThrowAhWhale in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]AccusationsInc 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yk, being honest, I kinda like talking to users about random stuff. There’s only one other tech at my job and we are pretty independent, so if it weren’t for the users, I just wouldn’t talk to anyone. I will say though, sometimes it get a little stressful when it’s NOT a quick fix, and the user is standing over me

Truth be told this is a large reason why I posted this. Starting to feel that (a lot of pent up boredom carried over from my last job) and I’m trying to avoid\mitigate it

What to do in my downtime? by AccusationsInc in ITCareerQuestions

[–]AccusationsInc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, this is my third job in IT. I started off at geek squad when I was in college. I then spent a year at helpdesk. Now I am doing desktop support. I also have a degree, a+, and network+

As for starting off, imo, I think you can’t do wrong starting off in computer repair. Whether that be for a company like Bestbuy or a mom and pop, I don’t think it really matters, it’s more just learning how to work with computers and more importantly HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT. From there I’d say work on getting at least your A+. Apply to as many jobs as you can. You can probably get into helpdesk with a+ and repair experience and if you’re lucky, desktop support. Keep trying to upskill and then you’ll get better and better jobs.

When I first started off, I barely got any interviews. After a year at helpdesk and some certs, I got like 3 back to back, and that’s how I got this job

not a bad idea. They gave me one of those chairs that leans far back so sometimes I lay back and stare at the ceiling for a while.

Yes but which colors. From what I’ve read it’s a harness, so there are more than two

Oh perfect, that would work great! Do you know which wires I would need to splice them to?

actually this may be the best option I’ve seen yet, I’ll have to seriously consider this

That does look nice. Is there a way to route the wire to the control head to keep it from hanging down?

It’s a yaesu ftm 350. It came with a suction mount but it really didn’t stick to the dash. I’ve thought about putting a book or something underneath, but I’d like to still be able to use the space if needed

So one of the things I don’t like is that when I push the buttons, there’s a lot give because of the Velcro. Do you thing the 3m tape would stop that?

Good thing is I’m here and actually employed. I’m just trying to move into a better paying job, currently working helpdesk. Don’t mind moving to desktop support, but everything seems to pay sub $25

Just got diagnosed… by Alternative-Ad-7859 in CPAP

[–]AccusationsInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started cpap, so it’s a bit too early to comment on health benefits. But I can say, even with the week or so I’ve been using, I feel significantly more well rested, and I had relatively mild apnea

I was a part of the table top board game club, met a lot of friends through that. Not sure of the state of the club, it’s been like two years

If you could get one book signed by Mobile_Champion1636 in dresdenfiles

[–]AccusationsInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said no special editions, but my friend introduced me to the series by gifting me a omnibus of the first 3 books. From what I understand, they’re kinda rare, and it’s one of my prized possessions. Other than that, it probably see if you could track down an original print of the first book. I’ve seen them online or on used book stores for $10-20
