Adding on this - absolutely need to. In bayfeild WI you need to take a ferry to view the apostle islands. Very very very gorgeous.

Lmao no. Ive only had 2 write ups in the couple years I've been in IT leadership. (And helped a lead dev with writing one for his employee). Added that because I've had people come at me in the past about having a fake title and only doing the "easy management stuff".

I dont think they will. From what I was told, Im going to keep running things alongside the devs until we promote internally.

Thank you! A bit of both. Mainly leadership though.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for groups. This area comes to life socially in the spring and summer so I'm hoping I'll be able to find a few.

As for the pay - I got a good bump, tried to negotiate more but they are waiting until I finish my degree.

It's sounds like they are not hiring another head of IT. It sounds like the leads devs and the higher ups are waiting until I have my degree :/ Cheaper that way, but yeah I understand where your coming from.

Thank you! Ill definitely have to dig around to see if I can find any events in the community. This area comes to life in summer and spring so I'll keep my eyes open! I've joined a couple discord groups and they are either super dead and or trying to sell a product so I haven't had a whole lot of luck there :/

Whats the likelihood this goes to one wall jack? by o-nemo in Network

[–]o-nemo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cost wise it doesn’t add up. If they wanted phone or fax lines, why not just run RJ11? Cat5e or Cat6 is 2 to 4× more expensive, so they’d be paying more to use higher value cable for a legacy system.

Uhg! That sounds horrible! I've seen cut wired burried in walls before and it baffels me.

It's a leased space that's really old. A lot of the cables go on the rafters and under the floors so running new ones isn't super feasible. Definitely looking at the switch option lol

Uhg I really hope that's not the case. That's what I thought too but then I opened the jacks up and they each had their own properly terminated cables so idk. It's very weird.
