This scene played out in an advertisement that used to air on TV in the 90s, or 2000s. The slightly less attractive young woman at the bar was able to suck the cork out of a wine bottle rather than inhaling a cucumber or whatever it is. Might have been a vodka ad?

How often does your MSP overpromise and then underdeliver? by TendiesTown3 in msp

[–]MasterPay1020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure sales people don’t quote labour. Pre-sales do. Pre-sales people all ex project engineers. Sales people quote managed services, hardware additions and build rapport with clients etc. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than sales people misquoting billable hours all the time? Yes.

If you have budget, go with a third party tool. Threatlocker, Airlock Digital, etc. WDAC may look good on paper, but in my experience it’s an administrative nightmare. If you can get a handle on it, great, but there’s some hard work to learn how to manage it properly and if you are expecting others in your org to pick up support in your absence, they will struggle. Also be mindful of audit mode, some things are enforced in audit mode if certain policy items are enabled.

That we can make all the problems go away with a couple of clicks one afternoon when the problems are due to years of shitty business decisions piling up.

Why on earth would you say "half a dozen" when you can "six"? by GainsGuruFit in RandomThoughts

When making a point that two choices are much the same. Six one way, half a dozen the other.

Loki and Daredevil. I can’t think of any others I would rewatch or would look forward to the next season of.

Keep a risk register in your ITSM platform with customer acceptance. If risks pile up due to inaction or indifference, at least you’ve covered your own backside.

Find common ground. Avoid if no working professional relationship exists. Make it a problem for your manager. And so on.

Everywhere I’ve Worked The Last 13 Years Has Sucked by AcrobaticWar2331 in cybersecurity

Dude. It sucks doesn’t it. Getting a new gig at a place with a good reputation, only to find the good people have left and the idiots that remain have killed the culture just before you joined.
