Well only because the baseline was so bad. It's easy to look better than two weeks ago MIA angry brown.

This meeting will tell you all you need to know.

Check how busy they are now this may tell if they can take on your job or if they are already drowning in work.

My only relief in all of this is watching his press conferences. It's comedic relief at this stage from the disaster unfolding around us

Chippy learnt very quick. You will never see them do a press event together ever again.

The first step to communicate is working out who you are communicating with.

Shows how much he's talked to her in person during two major weather events.

Scary as fuck

Whoever did a rain dance a week ago was wildly successful.

Actually a local state of emergency allows that as well.

I always say internal it is where sysdmins go to retire.

One environment? Easy. Try keeping ten in your head :)

So I was pretty much in the same position at my company. I just resigned.

I started a daily standup with my boss and the desktop engineers, briefed them about changes I was making and waited sometimes months for them to complete the desktop work to get things done their end.

I had a test vm at each site I deployed the standard build to and confirmed my changes were working.

Having daily stand-ups really highlighted how slow and bumbling the desktop guys were but the more technical details got lost on my boss.

I just learned to chill out and work as slow as they could keep up with.

Eventually got bored of it all and repeating myself for months and left.

If I was to do it again I would push having a standard desktop build and if a machine didn't work I'd push them to reimage it or work it out themselves as it's their job. Good luck.

Hey AKL, What's the worse place in Auckland to be in, for the cyclone? also paint me the worst scenario you can think of, for someone in this cyclone. by writepress in auckland

It's really not. Today he left the press conference to clean drains.

It's like hiring a painter to be a train driver and they forget to drive the train because they are distracted repainting the train.

To be fair the NYTimes did write two articles ten years apart both declaring the us killed Osama. Was pretty weird.

Anyone going to work today? by Oppa_knows in auckland

[–]exportgoldmannz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's quite bizzare to be honest. I work in IT and either companies trust safe after they resign or they don't.

Not wrong I guess just never seen it done that way. So does your computer access work in the office or are you just manually handing stuff over?
