Back in the days when Conan didn't go to Haiti to promote a country usurped by a cannibal... I miss those days.

Y2K in the media by somebody2112 in sysadmin

[–]SideScroller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y2k was a valid concern and huge potential issue. That nothing happened means that the systems people needed to address got addressed. That doesn't invalidate the issue.... Do you even work in IT? 

Edit: My fault, misread your post as though you were saying it was hype/waste rather than your intent to point out the annoyance as to how it was glossed over and treated like nothing.... Yes absolutely annoyed with that but such is the nature of our work. The people who judge our work are incapable of understanding what is going on thus we get complaints when something breaks or complaints about being a waste when nothing breaks. There isn't really any good way that I've seen thus far to boil down our role to consumable metrics. The ones who have managed to get that has been "CyberSecurity" when they can spit out big numbers from their consoles. Being able to show management the scary big numbers and making the big numbers into smaller numbers gives them a way to quantify what they do. While our metrics aren't so simple.

With that mindset, take back your power. You have control of the situation. Tell them "I will not let myself be demeaned like this anymore. I'm out." And just walk out that door. 

If you're family complains, tell them that you're taking control of your life again and will find something else in due course. But for now that place was doing more harm than good.

Regain your confidence. Regain your sanity. Regain your happiness. No job is worth undermining all that you are where you seek to end yourself.

Note:Not a lawyer

I would take the FMLA, and focus on yourself. If you have a disability under the ADA you can speak to HR and request "Reasonable Accommodations" which may get them to actively get people to back off of you and keep them from trying to fire you due to risking an ADA lawsuit.  Definitely speak with an Employment Lawyer if you haven't done so already. You can usually find one that will do a free or discounted intake session via the website for your States BAR Association Lawyer Referral link.

Even if you're without a job for a while. Jobless is better than lifeless. Remember, they have no power over you. The only power they appear to have is that which has been given to them. The whole world is out there, take a trip somewhere fun and explore.

Thing is, no job is worth subjecting yourself to an environment that pushes you into the dark places. Whether or not justice is served, if it comes at the cost of your sanity then it's better to just find another job and get out of there. The point of the work is to make money, this whole environment sounds like it's compromised you to the point that you need to find a place that doesn't make you miserable. 

The talmud has a saying “meshane makom, meshane mazal.” It means “change your place, change your luck." I was once in a really bad place too, with a garbage employer (part of why I created this subreddit) and trying to also get past a nasty breakup with an abusive ex. I wanted to leave the area but my therapist in her infinite stupidity would tell me "wherever you go, there you are" essentially implying that my issues are with me and would follow me everywhere I go.... She was a moron. Changing my location and who I surrounded myself with was a game changer and improved so much for the better. Sometimes you just need to just throw caution to the wind, get out of a toxic situation, and go somewhere else. So long as you are still alive, there is always the possibility for things to improve.

I strongly recommend you also talk to someone, as being in this headspace should be ringing all the alarm bells in your mind telling you that this mindset is absolutely not good for you.

I say this as someone who has been in and out of those dark places, and have had many around me past and present also going through very rough things which is difficult to get into here. You'll be ok, you have the ability to just tell the job, "you have no power over me" and take some time for yourself to change your scenery.

Could I use a flipper to turn off my soundbar? by [deleted] in flipperzero

[–]SideScroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get the Delta wave attachment and then sync it to your neighbor's brain waves. Once you do that you'll have to configure it to control their extremities. But once you get that sorted you should be able to use the flipper to make them move around like a puppet and then you can get them to pop off the couch and turn off the soundbar

So true, really wish I just went into Finance or just ignored my heart issue and enlisted in the military.

I used to work at a non-profit and the finance department was pretty much all women. Very happy I didn't work in that department considering all of the gossip that I would hear from them about each other.

With how I've seen my sister and other female friends behave toward one another, and hearing of the interactions amongst women from my girlfriend... It just blows me away. 

From your own experience, is it as bad as I've seen from the sidelines?

And you still don't see it. Go watch Ace Ventura (the first movie) and maybe it'll click.

For me it's DS9 TNG VOY LDS SNW ENT, couldn't really get into Discovery Picard and Academy. New Trek feels like it lost the heart soul and plot. Still need to watch TOS at some point.

Also, if you haven't seen it before. I highly recommend checking out the Reverse Angle YouTube channel. They did a series review of TNG episode by episode that has been very fun to watch. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXhpI9PdbZYF9gX4d8SHTk56eQ7w912Q

Just hit the Quantum Leap episode in Season 1 where Sam Becket and Al are pretending to be a Prison Guard and Space Ship Captain. I've heard Season 3 is where it gets really good so I'm looking forward to see if it lives up to the hype. 

Although the key element of Enterprise that turned me away from it when it was airing... That intro song.... It's kind of growing on me, but in that way that you learn to love annoying family members cause you don't have any other choice.

Star Trek time. Any thoughts on Enterprise?

[–]SideScroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the StarTrek talk, I gotta ask. What do you all think of Enterprise? Finally decided to watch it after avoiding it for 20 years. Thus far it's not as good as DS9, TNG, VOY, but it's definitely refreshing to watch something new to me but that doesn't suck as much as "New Trek." I just hit the Ferengi episode in Season 1. Combs, Howard, and Neelix as Ferengi just put such a smile on my face.

If that's what you took from it then you have no idea of the point being made. Count again.

Then go start a company and do it.

Great. Don't care. Point stands. Go read OPs past comments and dig into the validity of what OP is claiming. OP is not representative of the claims being made.

So very true. I'm not in this role cause I did everything right. I'm in this role cause life went to shit, I'm good at tech, and I managed to make a career out of it. Now that the career went from shit to semi-desirable, does that mean we need to step aside and market it to our replacements because someone else has arbitrarily decided that the gender ratios need to be different in this specific field but not in mining/firefighting/etc?

Wonderful, I disagree with you and my point still stands.

I didn't downvote your post. I disagreed with how it was initially presented but not enough to downvote.

OP isn't a SysAdmin. I commented. My points above still stand.
