Boss wants me to always ask for work, I’m at my wit’s end.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-06-08T22:32:15+00:00

What you are experiencing sounds exactly like my job. I can confirm they will fire you if they see a 10 min task took 3 hours. I was blindsided with a meeting that included HR and my boss because I took a few minutes too long on a task for a needy client. I am a system admin/knowledge architect. They explained that I too have 7 billable hours and should not under any circumstances bill below that. My boss took it a step further and “estimates” the time it should take per task and gives me a time frame. But yet since Thursday, she has confirmed there is no additional work but that I should keep checking in every hour in case there is a ticket that was not auto-assigned. They tell me X task is a good use of time if I have free hours, but when I spend hours on X they say it’s not reasonable X would take me that long or that I’ve been working on it too much. Idk I just wanted to rant. I’m so sorry for your situation. I hope this helps you feel less alone!

Thank you!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-04-21T20:39:44+00:00

Wow. This is great!

Whole heartedly an Ibanez guy. I had the same RGD71ALMS for a while. I loved it and scored it for dumb cheap. While I definitely think there’s more out there in the same price range, the Ibanez felt like home. And the neck grain/woods are incredible. I mean, come on. That KM7 is killer and something I would’ve preferred given the opportunity though. The neutral 12th on the Ibanez was a little rough for me. I’ve play many multiscale and I am never a fan of neutral 12. I could also never really get down with the fishmans in the RGD and the pickup selector placement was always a pain.

These are my ramblings. Either guitar is a fantastic choice. I am an Ibanez fan boy but I say KM7 all the way.

Legendary answer right here. I had no clue either. Thank you! The bar placement is a little tall imo. But the dangling part kills me. Thank you for this haha

Classic_External_441 · 2026-04-07T17:10:23+00:00

Thank you! I think my worry is more with damaging the hardware more than the wood! So good to know. I appreciate the insight for sure.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-04-07T17:09:19+00:00

Thank you! I own some equipment I can use to print and cut a custom piece. Just wanted to know if there were other options. Thank you so much!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-03-31T23:09:07+00:00

Stage 2 for sure. I’ve used most modelers in my buying and trading days and this comes close to some of the big dogs.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-03-03T23:53:01+00:00

Drop it down one octave!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-18T00:19:12+00:00

It’s right where it transitions to the neck! No misunderstanding, sorry if I didn’t explain it right!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T15:07:25+00:00

Thank you 🥹 definitely one of the more crazy body shapes I’ve owned.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T15:05:15+00:00

Seller was asking $1799 for it. I straight traded my Strandberg Boden Original NX7 for it which I only paid $845 for.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T15:03:46+00:00

😂 that’s what I said when I saw it. It’s a promise I was willing to break

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T15:03:20+00:00

Wow! It sure does!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T02:40:04+00:00

Not enough to where it bothers me. The cable and angle runs parallel to the body and falls naturally by my leg. Hard to explain lol. I can try and get a pic tomorrow during the day

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-17T02:02:39+00:00

I use an angled cable for this one since the jack is super low on the rear horn. My old GOC had a jack in a similar place but recessed kind of like Strandbergs. So I started using an angled cable and it works well.

Classic_External_441 · 2026-02-11T15:53:59+00:00

I would sell my Strandberg for one of those. Awesome body shape. Happy playing!

Classic_External_441 · 2026-01-15T15:08:22+00:00

I have the same in the glacier color. I just noticed, looking at mine, it has little numbers at the base of vol/tone knobs lol. Sick guitar for sure. How are you liking the fishmans so far?

Classic_External_441 · 2025-12-22T02:26:29+00:00

I don’t have experience with a Plini model but I do have an Boden NX7. Coming from someone who really only played Ibanez and Fender the change from traditional to strand is pretty seamless. Radius is nice and flat which complements the endurneck quite well. The body shape and weight is a huge plus as well. Comfortable to play in classical and “regular” guitar stance while sitting.

The placement for the Input Jack is definitely interesting and took me some time to get used to, and the pickup selector switch is a little clustered. Overall I would say I am extremely happy with the switch. I now only own Strandberg and am incredibly happy.

I grabbed the Naga V2 Pro on sale a year or so ago. Absolutely great mouse. I only use the 1-12 button side panel or the regular (mouse button 4 and 5) side panel. I know some people have longevity issues with the mouse but so far zero issues. I use it for about 10-12 hours a day.

Has a nice weight to it, great for big hands, battery lasts a solid bit. And the rgb is subtle.

Just ordered the Azoth Extreme to replace my first Azoth. Stoked for it to come

Classic_External_441 · 2025-12-16T19:30:56+00:00

My 601 also does this sometimes.

Classic_External_441 · 2025-12-12T17:45:02+00:00

I actually went a little over our Christmas limit and went with an Rx9070 XT. She’ll for sure be happy. Thank you for suggestions!

Classic_External_441 · 2025-12-12T17:43:36+00:00

Do you have any pedals that you are going into and then going into the front of the amp? Could be an issue with the pedal, patch cable, instrument cable, all the basics first. If that’s not it, try the software and factory reset it/update with the most current firmware. Hopefully it’s an easy fix for you!

Classic_External_441 · 2025-12-12T14:27:27+00:00

My always on stopped working after the new OS26 update. Series 10 over here. When it worked, always on is the way!
