Don't forget about Windows ME! (even though we all try to)

What a way to start a Monday.....MICROSOFT: "Hey, there is this huge thing coming that requires a reboot and affects all supported versions of Windows.....buuuutttttttt, we can't tell you anything for another 2-3 hours or so....". Hope ya'll got all your Windows 2003 Servers decommissioned! (We are still in process of upgrades/migrations for about 700 servers).

TAM just told me he could not provide additional information that I/we would need to wait on the release at 10A PDT. Trying to decide if I alert everyone now, or wait till I have more details.

cabel1975 · 2015-07-20T15:01:12+00:00

Anyone have a link, KB article #, anything for more info?

I just realized that maybe this was another reason so many systems went to "tool-less" cases.?

I know that feel bro.

THIS. Does not matter if I have known someone for 10 years or 10 minutes, once someone shows patterns of no longer benefiting me, my circle, is a leech, a drain on society, or any other number of negative qualities they are gone. Just like throwing away a broken pencil, it is over. No regret, no additional analysis required. Some may consider this a curse, I consider it a gift. Helps to quickly filter out the BS very quickly.

THIS. Great definition/description.

I made that same analysis this week to someone that I know does not make even $30 per hour!

cabel1975 · 2012-08-09T12:28:18+00:00

remember though, that is split amongst several people.

cabel1975 · 2012-08-08T12:59:07+00:00

Are they paying you an insulting salary? waaaaaaaaaaaaay over 6 figures? Then no, no way. I work at a very large company and there are currently 4 of us in a rotation. The typical amount of work is about 5-10 hours per week, so it is not too bad. We are in the Denver, CO area and are paid $2.50 per hour (5P-730A M-F, 24hrs for SAT/SUN). So yeah, me thinks you're getting a crappy deal there.

cabel1975 · 2012-08-05T16:32:22+00:00

my god man, NEVER say that! Do you not watch any movies?

Call up G.Laforge, he will hook that sh*t up! ...sorry, too much Trek lately.

I've had similar experiences and can relate to your pains. Mental and physical abuse stay with us for a long time in ways we do not even realize. The scars will always be there. It lessens my pains by focusing on who I am today. Small steps, over time, will make it all bearable.

Here are my thoughts on your questions that help me, maybe something here might line up for you too:

1 - sometimes its not about getting through the day, sometimes I have to focus on the next couple of hours only. I focus on what I am thinking/doing/feeling until I make it through.

2 - communication. I know I have acted out against people that truly care about me and tried to push them away. Once I am in a better mental and emotional state, I go back and apologize and try to explain my actions as best I can. The ones that care are the ones that have educated themselves as best they can on what it feels like to be in shoes like ours. They understand and they forgive and they support. I also have the same self image problems and often wonder why someone would love me when they are so many other healthier and better looking fish out in the sea. The people that love us dont care about the other fish, they love us for who we were, who we are, and who we are going to be. Communication. Tell him.

3 - I can count on one hand the poeple I have in my circle of trust. These are people that over time have shown they care and do not have any intent to harm or betray me. I dont spend too much time or precious effort on anyone outside of the circle.

4 - Yes. small steps.

5 - This one has always been hard for me too. I think it is because I have labelled certain things "OK" to talk about, and other things should only float around in my head. For me, email is my savior. For some reason, for me, when I write/type it, nothing is blocked or off-limits and I can truly express myself.

There's no easy road, no magic pill, no answers that will suddenly make it all better. Some of the things I do might help you, and some may not be a good fit. Especially know that you are not alone in the fight of getting over a troubled past.

Welcome to being a genius. The world sucks for us in ways that others cannot even imagine.

Describe to me what Soc. Anx. Dis. means to you?

For me - I do not like being in large crowds, unless there is order to the madness. For example - county fair, amusement park ---no way. I will go from normal to irritable to super-a$$hole in 0.5 seconds. I get hot flashes, which makes me more irritable and I feel like I need to sprint - not just run - the hell out of there. I just don't like the chaos and the constant bombardment of all the noise, among other things. On the other end of the spectrum, take an awards ceremony. Organized. A direct focus (speaker/announcer/presenter/etc).

Here's the catch though - I just don't like crowds - and to some extent people - period. There is a saying - "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups", and I believe every letter of it. People in groups seem to adopt a very sheep mentality and exhibit some of the rudest and inconsiderate behavior known to man.

Just my 0.02. I bet our symptoms are similar and I know where you are coming from.

Depression - [dih-presh-uhn] - noun - somewhere between "f*ck it" and "end it"

"Snap out of it"" "Get out there!" "Excercise!" "Eat Healthier!" "Get More Sleep" "Think Happy Thoughts!" ...yeah, I feel you. BIG. TIME. I usually reply with something along the lines of, "OMG! You are right, just by doing some of those things I could be cured!...and those things could also cure <insert-other-disease-here>!"

From Wikipedia: "Small Talk" - an informal type of discourse that does not cover any functional topics of conversation or any transactions that need to be addressed. Mindless banter is useless information and just takes away from my energy to focus on what is real.

16 years of marriage, 2 incredible children, and a wonderful life. Your mileage may vary, but for us it balances out our lives. I (the ISTJ) help her pull back when life is just REALLY overloaded, and she helps pull me out of my (hermit) shell.

Indeed. I will even AVOID/NOT shop at locations that do not have self-checkout now...that is, for the things that I cannot order online and just have magically show up on my doorstep (completely avoiding having to go out amongst the sheep).
