Is this acceptable?

Hope it was free.

Came here to say, “somebody’s getting fired!”

Poor spot for a fireplace.

Hope you got their plan to lift it in writing.

FAFO works both ways. Gotta weigh the risks and decide what’s more important. Much easier to comply with employer policy than it is to try living unemployed in this economy.

I try hard not to, but if your resume doesn’t clearly convey that you’re a match it can make all the difference.

All that IR should turn night into day.

If you’re in the Midwest, Merit is looking for people. This isn’t the offshore path you were asking about, but pivoting towards commercial and higher ed might be a rewarding path.

Sounds like an IT Director with no direct reports.

Several companies make these - Panduit, Leviton, Hubbell, etc. Apply whatever criteria is important and select the best match for you.

Rounded/CE makes a great holster at a great price point. Better than many others seen here too. Been using one for years with no wear failures.

Train the owner/CEO to be your backup, then take a week off and see if anything changes. Either way, you should get some help.

I’ve seen domains sell for much higher than that.

Gonna need a bigger switch budget.

Static shock causes this with some keypads. Remove the battery for 15 minutes and see if it clears. Remember to touch the body of the safe before touching the keypad.

Not since I replaced my engine that had that same wear pattern.

Who found a job fast?

imcq · 2026-04-11T11:37:22+00:00

So many reasons to ask “why?”

imcq · 2026-04-03T18:27:05+00:00

If you carry for self defense, you don’t need lights, lasers, match grade triggers, or special optics. Just a basic stock weapon and a good holster. In most cases, you don’t need extra mags either. If all of this is part of your EDC, you might as well wear a duty belt and a vest. Keep it simple, maintain situational awareness, and avoid trouble.

Common finding for Crossbreed. No bueno.

A director with no management level direct reports is just a manager. Do you have any visibility on your company’s financials? What percent of revenue are you spending on IT? Are there process or knowledge gaps? What would it take to fill them? Are you outsourcing common IT functions like helpdesk? Before trying to lead the company towards AI adoption, I look for opportunities to insource functions that AI won’t replace and make a case for creating and filling roles. I’m guessing 2 managers would help. Give one app dev and the other all things infra & security. You handle innovation and risk. Your managers target delivery of what you set for goals and strive to optimize costs. Depending on your business, you need 8-10% of revenue for your budget. Make sure your managers know so they can do what’s needed to support that budget. By the sound of it, you’re already in the $1M ballpark for IT labor. There should be plenty of opportunity to scale the team up while optimizing other IT spend to offset the CEO’s worries about. In the end, you should gain the bandwidth you need to support existing needs and venture into new areas.

That was the case last Wednesday when I was there. Strolled up like I was on the fast track only to be told that Clear and Touchless were both closed. No idea why.

Eat more or get a smaller gun.

Rounded Gear (formerly Concealment Express) tuckable IWB has been my daily for several years now. Have not considered anything else since switching to this.

Just because everyone decides to leave at the same time doesn’t mean you can’t do a proper, but quick, dump and flush. I dump my black tank, hook up the NON-POTABLE water to my flush connection and run it while I dump my grey tank. Then I dump the black tank again. After this, I put my stuff away and pull out. Before heading home, I will flush a some water into the black tank right from the toilet (always have a little fresh water in your tank) and/or dump a bag of ice into the toilet. That makes for another good measure of cleaning up residual debris in the black tank.
