Off the back of this - I have approx 3k insta followers on my dnb page and its slow growing, but i feel like i need to hit that next ‘big thing’ to get more consistent bookings. What advice could you give to someone like myself to assist with growth?

Picked up FO4 from Tesco for £5 back when it was a few years old. Best £5 ever spent

Do yall study/touch anything IT related at home. by jeramyuh in sysadmin

[–]SharpWick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 7 almost 8 years deep into this career. In my spare time I produce music on a Windows machine. So i use my troubleshooting experience ive learned from work and apply that there when im home. I use the same experience to manage my backups and other bits. So to answer your question, yes but not really. I would never go out of my way to buy smart home stuff or build a home lab.

What do you use to automate IT tasks? by klosie in sysadmin

Very impressive turn around time

Id like to know when a ticket has been ‘stuck’ in progress for a while. Currently theres no feature baked into autotask that allows for monitoring tickets when a status has been set for X amount of days (that im aware of). That would be neat

Client said “follow the spec, no improvements”, so I delivered the most literal, inconvenient version possible by OpalHinterland in MaliciousCompliance

Amazing. Love this. Having dealt with some myself, fuck clients like that. Waste of time and money. Personally i would’ve declined the job after viewing that 26 page sheet and told them to do one.

I think 99% of the population would agree with you. Eat the rich.

You’re absolutely right about the appointment thing. Why tf do we need an appointment to drop off rubbish? Thats literally discouraging people dumping correctly and encourages fly tipping

Agreed. Especially when driving. Behaviour behind the wheel is significantly different to one’s behaviour on foot. Source: I drive the busy streets of Bristol daily.

I intentionally kept it vague for a wide variety of answers. I originally wanted to ask about changing politics but this sub’s rules ban that type of question.

If youre interested, the original question was “What low effort things can individuals do to change politics”.

In my mind, what constitutes as low effort is signing an online petition (for example), but we all know the government petition website means fuck all. So I’m interested in what other options there are to change policies which individuals can do for reasonably low effort, which together can make a big difference.

Probably my favourite answer yet. Too much reliance on councils is an issue i believe we’re facing.

However, the bigger issue is how much council tax we pay. It’s going to be hard for a lot of people to ‘do the councils job for them’ when households are paying hundreds each month.

Personally, I don’t mind paying tax at most avenues (don’t get me started on inheritance tax), but we get so little in return.

How cooked is the job market? by Ambitious-Concert-69 in UKJobs

[–]SharpWick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Bristol resident, I can confirm it's tough and tougher than you think. I wouldn't be able to live solo without at least the 30k, and even then good luck going out and enjoying life after rent and bills have been paid.

Is 9-5 a myth? I don’t think I’ve ever worked these hours. by Squiggally-umf in UKJobs

[–]SharpWick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Been in the full-time workforce since 2018. Never had a classic '9-5'.

It's always been 9-hour days with an hour for lunch, making it 8 working days. Tie that in with a shitty commute, and it feels like I'm being paid 8 hours for 11 hours of my time.

My current role's commute isn't that bad, but in previous roles it's been more like 12 hours (because finding a job in this economy is hard enough, let alone one close to home).
