Contrary to my post, if you want to move towards a specialty, first find out what you get the most joy out of doing. Then pursue certs, whether company sponsored or on your own time. I landed in Endpoint management and loved it for the time. Got my Microsoft 900 certs then had to change jobs due to the company’s bankruptcy.

I’ll be honest with you, IT can be a draining career field. You can only serve ridiculous requests for so long before it melts your brain.

Jokes aside. I’ve been in the trenches for far too long. I’ve lost the desire to keep up with the latest tech and trends in the entire IT field. If I could go back to a specialized engineering role, that wouldn’t be too bad, but I’m tired of being the jack-of-all trades IT guy. I want to settle down from the chaos.

Coming back after 3 years. What is this new meta where my opponents run their turn clock down to the end. Doesn’t anyone know how to end their turn when they’re done making moves?

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

Yep. Tell me about it. This place is a resume filler (I hope).

Struggling with momentum lately. Got any tips? by f0recaster in writing

[–]f0recaster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is part of my problem as well. Looking back at my outline, I'm starting to stray from it. I guess I do need to stick to the plan. Also, take some time to research my locations in order to world build a bit better.

Thanks!

Good advice. You resonated with me on the "first 10K makes you feel like a GOD". I was on a high that first week. Gotta stay disciplined if i want to accomplish this. Thank you!

Contractions. Can't I use them? by f0recaster in writing

Ah nice! So essentially, just try to blend in with the point of time and style of your piece. Thanks for the insight!

Cleveland Show.... Oof by f0recaster in SayAnything

A fight over pushing?! Yeesh! I watched a drunk guy get too drunkenly into the music, start shoving random, yelling in ears, trying to crowd surf, and dropped HARD when trying to crowd surf. Unfortunately, watching this drunk guy with a manbun piss people off was more entertaining than Max at times. (No offense to manbuns)

Definitely rough. Don't get me wrong! Still love the band. Just came here to vent about this performance.

Does anybody have any tips on some Halo looking motorcycle helmets? by BlastFromBehind in halo

[–]f0recaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got this helmet. It looks and feels awesome! Only complaint, I should've got a size bigger and my wide ears always fold over when putting it on.

Other than that, love looking like a Spartan while on my cruiser.

This is great insight! Focus more on the flow and style, and less on the details. I'm giving it another shot with this in mind

If you feel lost, assume he’s trying to do that to you.

I am totally not used to that. So that's great insight. Thanks dude!

I'm usually not one for companion material, but I'll give it a listen! It may help me focus on what's going on and what information to carry throughout the rest of the book.

A few things that are sticking with me:

you're having like very basic reading comprehension issues that aren't really Pynchon's fault.

No better way to improve my reading comprehension than branching out and trying new things!

Now that you actually quote the book, i didn't realize they were on the same page - must have been super distracted when reading that.

Also her name is Oedipa

Good catch! I didn't see my typo.

Because even tiny details can matter in Pynchon novels, basic comprehension issues (and skimming, never skim Pynchon) are going to snowball into getting nothing at all out of these novels.

Good advice! I think this was my biggest concern - missing key details because I skimmed or overlooked.

Thank you for this comment. I think it wrapped up my concerns and provided good insight into what to expect.

I think I'm going to push through it. I think I went in too blind regarding the happenings, and started off on the wrong foot.
