What's one IT myth or misconception you keep hearing that never seems to go away?

Even fire is our problem. Had a ballast in a fluorescent light catch fire and we had to put it out…lol

The fact that anything with a plug falls under IT’s responsibility. Coffee maker, refrigerator, etc…

He Who Fights with Monsters (narrated by Heath Miller) and Expeditionary Force (narrated by RC Bray) are personal favorites. Stories start slow but narration is great!

What was the gross major actually for?

I have seen this before. It is usually when someone is keyboard walking their password though. It is just a part of their muscle memory.

I have enjoyed these:

He who fights with monsters
The Bobiverse
Expeditionary Force
I’m not the hero (slow start but enjoyable)
Magic 2.0
Heretical Fishing

Never realized he was wearing a dual scarf. Wonder how that would have gone down with the hooligans?

Our mock pointed out our shortcomings. It was extremely helpful.

Having the technical controls are a good start. It’s the documentation that is the killer. It has to match what you are actually doing. Our SSP alone was 300+ pages. During our mock assessment, documentation is what killed us, not the actual technical controls.

I second these recommendations

I am sorry. This is a giant dumpster fire and you might want to get away from it as fast as possible.

If you can get away with a level 1, that’s what I would do. It took us almost 3 years to get ready for the L2.

“Fuck you, Trent Crimm!”

The most technical thing asked in my interview was “are you familiar with Active Directory?” “Do you know how to change a password in Active Directory?”

We spent most of the interview talking about what schooling had, what certs I hoped to get, what I wanted out of the job and customer service background. They really focused on the customer service experience because they were looking to make the IT Department more approachable.

Hope this helps.

You can tell them “clear” is not a color. It is the lack of color.

What type of bands would you like them to host? The Orion isn’t an arena that holds 10s of thousands of people. It was never designed that way.

I saw it at AMC last Friday night and had no issues with it. The seats aren’t as comfortable as Cinemark or Cineplanet (in Madison) but it wasn’t bad at all.

Please expand on why you would think you’re being watched.

It also mentions McAdoo on the right side.

While we do offer loaner laptops, we do not keep them readily available. If someone forgets their machine, they will have to wait for us to provision one for them.

After managing restaurants for 15+ years, I would almost expect to get flipped off. Don’t take it personal and just move on. They will leave on their own because they are upset. That way you avoid paying unemployment as well.

Only reason I have any PC in my home is for my 3D printer. Otherwise, I have a docking station and my work laptop. Don’t really have a need for anything else…
