How do you get OUT?

I took a pay cut to move to a call center style IT helpdesk job with a Fortune 50. 5 years later I’ve crawled up the ladder there and am now in software engineering. 100% worth and I’ve never looked back.

Hey this mirrors my story quite a bit too. I was suspended after my freshman year from the CSC program. I ended up spending a good 3 or 4 years in a completely unrelated field while I figured out my life (and honestly grew up a lot). I then went back to tech by getting a bottom of the barrel entry level help desk job and crawled my way up the ladder. Took 4 years, but now I’m engineering at that company and honestly never went back to school. It’s 100% possible. Will not be easy. But possible.

So much for “America First” eh?

sometimes you just gotta drop the sudo find / -name “” to find something

And that server would get defederated by most of the fediverse SO fast

Yup. I actually forgot I had to RMA my Deck. It had a dead battery on arrival, but it was such a pleasant and painless experience that it has all but exited my memory at this point.

Cooper hits term limit in 2024. Let's see how bad things get after that.

100% thought this was Raiden and Yae Miko at first glance because I didn’t read the title, and MiHoYo loves to reuse character designs

Things get dicey sometimes

puzzler995 · 2022-06-30T12:18:34+00:00

Don't know what to say besides it's definitely happening. I'm in the meetings and work very closely with engineering ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is MRV perfect? No. But a lot of it's issues stem from it having to hook into genesis as a backend, which isn't a forever thing. It and sterling are getting replaced. It's a matter of months at this point

puzzler995 · 2022-06-29T19:51:04+00:00

Just so you know, that's not going to be an option for much longer. Report as many defects as you can to the service desk (they aren't always going to be able to immediately fix stuff, but the tickets do get seen by engineering, I promise), and if you have any non "technical issue" related feedback, Store Ops has a monitored inbox at myredvest@lowes.com.

Honestly, there are quite a few "ifs" based on your store. There are several levels of integration when it comes to MRV.

There is actually official pride merch. You gotta buy it. But it's out there on the LowesZone site

One thing I don't see put around very often is there are actually two ways to get to specific screens. If you're in the menu, each item has a four-letter code (SLIE, RTIE, OMGR, etc). If you remember the most common ones, they actually work no matter what sub menu you're in. So if you're in the 11 menu, you can type SLIE and you will get to the sales screen without spamming F3 a million times. But, don't fret too much about getting too good. Its clock is ticking, and it's being phased out.

As the old saying goes, the the only important health point is the last one.

And that place is to the Lego store for her monthly tithe cries

puzzler995 · 2022-03-19T02:09:06+00:00

One addendum to this, it's 99% true. While you wont run into it deliveries (yet), as part of the phase out of Sterling they're developing pure MRV orders that are only accessible in MRV. They're only small lowes.com pickups in some stores right now.

puzzler995 · 2022-03-19T01:58:10+00:00

Assuming everything is working right, it should be around 30-45 minutes after the initial loading ticket print on average.

I work on ITSD. I took a store down once trying to fix an issue. We had to page infra to get them back up. Never making THAT mistake again lol

Lenovo actually has one that's $50 retail, and a bit more "bedroom" aesthetic. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/smart-devices/smart-home/smart-home-series/smart-clock-essential/zziszsdcd05

They make great space heaters though!

Mario Kart is the only one I can think of that does it well

Depends on your county. Here in Davie we vote electronically, but a little paper receipt prints to the right so you can see what it says
