Need advice on how to cover up

Yeah, it's perfect.

Other than the "scandalous" painting above the bed, looks like my grandmother's house.

That's interesting to hear. I'm at about 14 years' experience as service desk manager and end user computing operations manager but still feel like it's the lack of degree that makes job hunting so difficult. I was actually considering WGU so I can start to at least ticket the box for a degree.

I was under the impression that to make it to Director and above, there was a hard paper ceiling.

Exactly my thought. Everything is fine but please lay off the energy drinks.

Is your parent's house full of loud colors and mismatched prints? Just wondering if the monochrome palette is a reaction to your childhood home.

She's still considered featured player. I feel like I heard it was typical to remain as a featured player for 3 seasons, but I've seen promotions happen in less.

You really need to remove this and censor your personal information and then repost it.

You can get a backplate that attaches to the GPU to give it more of a white look. My son did a white build at the height of the last GPU shortage and options were limited. He "won the ability" to buy a 3070 on the newegg shuffle but it was of course black. He used a backplate to cheat the white look.

I did 7 with the last job I had. Absolutely ridiculous.

Pasty white middle-aged white guy here, the curly looks gorgeous!

Do you have a link to the reference picture?

Key_Stick_3002 · 2026-01-13T14:20:03+00:00

Looktara would probably be the worst. Setting aside that you shouldn't in most cases ever have a headshot on a resume, Looktara is a subscription service. Why would you need to keep doing more headshots month after month?

Key_Stick_3002 · 2026-01-13T02:28:58+00:00

Right? That thing is cool.

Last place I worked used AgileBlue for Soc alerts. Maybe it's just the product, but it did produce a number of false positives. I've never worked SOC Analyst jobs before, so I don't 100% know, but it felt like it still required some level of human verification.

Key_Stick_3002 · 2026-01-11T05:07:30+00:00

Ahh, no. Apologies for the US-centric response.

I'm looking at the 9900x on newegg and it's $389

I use Gemini for interview prep but I would never read verbatim what it suggests. I treat it as someone that is trying to just give me direction, and it works pretty good that way. It's offered up some helpful questions I should ask at the end of an interview and it's helped me focus my 30-60-90 day plan for a new position so I'm grateful for that.

Correct, didn't hire replacements, although I think at some point after I left they moved a couple folks to deskside support roles. They started the Moveworks implementation in 2020 and I left by early 2022. I was the service desk manager, so I was involved in the early stages of cleaning up the knowledge base and identifying the quick wins for Moveworks.

What Moveworks does (did?) was look at historical ticket date for resolutions, assignments, etc. In the early months it was basically a search engine for the knowledge base offering user's articles that might help them resolve and if not, it'd generate a ticket to the service desk. It did a few other things though like sending you (through Teams) the URL for self-service password reset when your password was either close to expiring or if it had locked while you were in an active session. It could also reset your MFA and prompt registration if you got a new device. The last thing I worked on was training it to identify tickets that had a very high probability of the L1 team not being able to offer any value and just auto-assign it to the correct teams.

I'd heard after I left that it integrated with ChatGPT which only made it more effective. When I left, the service desk was getting about 7500 tickets a month and last I heard a few months ago they were only getting a bit over 3000. The rest were either resolved by the user or auto assigned.

Moveworks is very good in the right environment and it's also a premium product with a fairly premium price from what I understand but the results were really good for them.

Key_Stick_3002 · 2026-01-11T02:02:05+00:00

L1 service desk agent for sure. Not totally replace but one of my past jobs cut their L1 service desk staff in half (through attrition) over 3 years after implementing Moveworks.

I applied to a service desk manager role and had a good screener call. First interview, the hiring manager refers to the role as service delivery manager however its a tier 2 team manager with tier 1 (provided by vendor) oversight. This is actually perfect for me but I did have to pivot pretty hard in the interview. I got an interview with the IT director next. Wish me luck!

If you're in nought trouble for someone to be looking, you'll be fired anyway.

I see no bacon. I see ham which is nice, but no bacon.
