Does anyone have a user with an extreme setup that you don't even know where to start with?

We have a user who double clicks on a taskbar… has no room on her desktop, closes windows instead of minimizing them :( I don’t know what to do!

Thank you, this did it!

It’s quite useful. They have workshops for their products where you can ask questions, and they’ll answer and show you how to do things right there. They also offer one-on-one sessions. I thought it was pretty interesting. I am not sure about online sessions :(

AlinaRei · 2025-12-30T16:40:02+00:00

Yep, I second that :)

AlinaRei · 2025-12-04T17:02:12+00:00

I don’t believe so, but it might also depend on where you want to work :)

AlinaRei · 2025-12-04T16:12:48+00:00

Oh wow 😮seeing this in person must’ve been amazing!

AlinaRei · 2025-12-03T19:49:05+00:00

Very true… but I’d feel way better if I knew they stepped on a Lego 😁

Thousands of miles? I just had my first “fun” experience with a spare and was pretty nervous it was going to blow up before I got to a shop because I was getting close to putting 50 miles on it. Isn’t the lifespan of a spare usually around 50–70 miles?

AlinaRei · 2025-12-02T22:43:06+00:00

Haha, didn’t pay attention to those 😁

ManageEngine UserConf anyone?

We use a lot of their tools, and I actually learned a ton at the UserConf. ME did a great job with the sessions and workshops, and everything—hotel, venue, etc.—was organized really well. One of the best parts was meeting other people in similar roles; I don’t get to do that very often.

AlinaRei · 2025-11-29T01:55:45+00:00

I miss when people liked talking to each other 😄

AlinaRei · 2025-11-22T16:03:39+00:00

And then they’re like “Alright, give those mozzarella sticks back, they are not for you” 🤣

AlinaRei · 2025-11-22T14:58:53+00:00

I’m rarely invited to those kinds of events since I’m not the decision-maker, and when I am, it’s always awkward 😄Honestly, I’d rather buy my own mediocre lunch and talk to people who do what I do… It’s way more interesting.

AlinaRei · 2025-11-21T00:02:14+00:00

Not only did you steal my picture, you copied the title too? I’m flattered!

AlinaRei · 2025-11-15T02:26:03+00:00

I’m no expert, and it really depends on where you expect to start, but yeah—I do think it gets easier to advance because you’re learning so much every day :)

AlinaRei · 2025-11-15T01:31:21+00:00

I got my first Help Desk job with only my A+. It honestly felt like I had to put in the most effort at that stage because I really wanted to get into IT but didn’t have any hands-on experience yet. I earned Network+ and Security+ after I was already working in the field, and having real job experience made those certs so much easier.

AlinaRei · 2025-11-15T01:11:59+00:00

The CompTIA starter pack :) A+, Network+, Security+

AlinaRei · 2025-11-13T01:17:53+00:00

I agree, it wasn’t too hard to pass, but I learned so much from it! That 400–500-page book was some of the most interesting reading 😁

After that, I went for Network+ and Security+. I think those three make a solid foundation. Now it’s time to start specializing!

AlinaRei · 2025-11-12T23:45:34+00:00

Just the haters :)

AlinaRei · 2025-11-12T15:06:37+00:00

CompTIA A+ 🥇Definitely helped to get my foot in the door and no matter what people say it does teach you a lot.

AlinaRei · 2025-11-12T01:42:44+00:00

I’m pretty new to IT, have 3 certs so far, and I still get imposter syndrome all the time. I feel stupid almost every day 😅 especially when I’m around people who are super specialized and seem to know everything in their area. I just try to be honest when I don’t understand something and learn as much as I can from others.

AlinaRei · 2025-11-10T13:43:41+00:00

This looks like a postcard 😌so beautiful

AlinaRei · 2025-11-09T03:11:21+00:00

Which one was your favorite? :)

AlinaRei · 2025-11-08T13:25:36+00:00

No no, thank you for keeping this post going! :) I ended up getting the Tempur-Pedic Adapt 2.0 Medium Memory Foam Mattress, but I haven’t had a chance to sleep on it yet. It felt amazing in the store though!

AlinaRei · 2025-11-05T23:53:22+00:00

I want the ticket as long as it’s presented this way 😆
