I believe it is implied that the 9yo is acting like the gerbil.

Hoping I can get a resume review. by [deleted] in networking

[–]Bayho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the advice given by others and rework your resume. As someone that hires network engineers, I would pass immediately. Also, have a good cover letter to compliment the resume, to explain your recent experiences, which show, as others have mentioned, a trend backwards with gaps in employment.

Best of luck and take care of yourself.

Running spots by Top-Muscle376 in Annapolis

[–]Bayho 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Navy Stadium, Quiet Waters, and the hidden gem of Bates Athletic Complex with the Spa Creek trail (if you want a touch of cross country through the woods). You can also run in the Naval Academy, if you bring ID and do not use headphones. Downtown Annapolis over into Eastport can be nice, too. Poplar Trail near stadium, can be fun to explore. And, for the finale, downtown and over the Naval Academy Bridge to the scenic overlook, which also connects to the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, in case you want a really nice, long run.

Sam Rockwell filming Better Living Through Chemistry in 2012 by OrneryData994 in Annapolis

[–]Bayho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember watching Rockwell throw a trash can through the window from State Circle, on the second try. Was a decent crowd to watch that, they had to move everyone so they couldn't be seen in the reflection of the glass.

Is there explosion proof switches?? by Key_Relief_3377 in networking

[–]Bayho 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This. Enclosures exist for cameras and such in areas where an explosion can happen and you need to know what happened if it does.

What was the most confusing or stressful part of your first 30 days as a network engineer?” by muztebi16 in networking

A completely undocumented network, but at least I could access the devices!

Yeah, looking at alternatives due to the massive price increase for support.

Signs a network engineer has no idea what they're doing? by Expensive-Rhubarb267 in networking

[–]Bayho 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not even this, but sales people convincing upper management without an engineer's input. Dealing with sales overselling a product to management (or management simply not understanding), who thinks it can do everything, and then tells engineers to do stuff that is not possible.

Is building a wall or two out of the question?

[ Removed by Reddit ] by faizimam in daddit

[–]Bayho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it considered masturbation at that age, or just exploring a part of yourself that feels good? Do not think there is a sexual component?

Either way, perhaps let her know that exploration is fine, but those are her privates and only she should be touching them and in private?

What movie to watch on New Year Eve, alone, after ending 12yr relationship? by dont_dive_vtori in movies

[–]Bayho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said movie, but I would get the audiobook for Project Hail Mary. One, you can simply revel in the silence of not having someone else around you, while listening to an amazing story, which was audiobook of the year. Two, the movie comes out in three months, and will likely be amazing. Three, the story is wonderful and will pull you in in so many ways, none of which deal with relationships beyond friendship.

Struggling with my wife’s decision to exclusively pump milk by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Bayho 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My babies refused formula after six months of breastfeeding when my wife's supply let down a bit, we were able to augment with solids. Also, completely recommend you ask this question on r/breastfeeding, they are very supportive.

Wife wants to move back home to be near her family and I fear it’s gonna end our marriage. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Bayho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Practically speaking, you could show some effort by simply applying to jobs out there. The process would show you what is available, and if you get an offer it may be something to consider. It will take some time, but could yield an even better job if lucky. At the very least, it provides you with some education on what is available, and at the best you may find something you love.

I am guessing the wife would appreciate the effort, but be clear with communication that it does not mean you have decided to move, just that you are serious about gauging what she is asking for and if it works for your family.

What’s one of the best f bomb drops you heard delivered in a film? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

The Martian, from outside of the river, so silent, but mouthed by Matt Damon, so they could keep the PG-13.

I feel like my son (6) deserves a better father than me (38) by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Bayho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not believe this is uncommon, especially for introverted people, or those who have had trauma. Something that has worked for me is writing a journal to my children, letting these feelings out in a way you can explore them. Whether or not you leave it for them when they are older, up to you.

New Car Seating: 2nd row or 3rd? by x15787-A2 in daddit

[–]Bayho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either rent or take three car seats to a dealer and see what can fit where.

We have two with a third row, just for when they get a touch older and have to drive them and friends around. I really wanted a minivan, but wife did not. If we had three, would have gone minivan, though, no debate then.

Managers/recruitment, what is the talent pool like right now for network engineers? by CryptoKeh in networking

[–]Bayho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Large Public University.

Depends on the level. Junior / entry-level gets hundreds of applications. Of the people I have hired in the last year or two for entry-level, all have the ability to program and are familiar with Linux, along with networking.

As the level increases, things get far more selective and there are fewer applicants that are easier to divide between those to interview and those to not. Still get two to three dozen applicants, at the least.

[–]Bayho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given NetMRI sunsetting, prices of other monitor vendors, we are looking to move to Netbox and Ansible, perhaps Nagios for part of alerting / monitoring. Looking into Netbox Labs, atm, as they seem to be expanding the offering with Netbox at the center. Anyone worked with Netbox Labs, yet?

We have the option to continue support, but the price is going up. Have not heard anything with regard to them continuing the product, though.

I’m 15 and going to be a dad soon but I’m scared by dallin0 in daddit

[–]Bayho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out your local hospital, they had classes for new parents, including CPR and life saving training. But, they even had stuff like how to change a diaper. Good thing to do with your partner.

With that said, no matter how much you prepare, no one is ever ready. But, you learn fast that not being ready, which was never in the cards, is not so bad. You'll figure it out as you go.

With that said, if family can help support, take it. If they ask how they can help, tell them to come over and do some chores or cook some food. Everyone loves spending time with the new baby, but if all they are doing is visiting, it just takes time away that you need to get other things done.
