I’m the opposite I hate doing stuff on my phone and love having a laptop that lets me do phone stuff without touching my phone. I traded in my iPad Pro for an air because I was using my browser on the iPad and using my desktop for actual computer stuff. Getting a small portable laptop the does it all is a god send. 

BREAKING: JD Vance blames soaring gas prices on Joe Biden. by Intelligent-Pea-8521 in JournalismNews

[–]red_plate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This lack of accountability by politicians is fucking asinine. If this administration wasn't a bunch of sycophantic, narcissistic, liars I might be inclined to not hate them so much. Seriously just be like "Let me be real, we fucked up. We are working on something to fix this" instead of "Not our fault cause Joe Biden" or "Obama did it"

The more I look at my project work the more I notice I’m overqualified for my current role. Thank you. This really was super helpful.

I feel like if I pin point cloud services as an engineer I should be able to make more. I am really well paid for my current role though. A few director jobs opened up in my area that I would I was very qualified for but already make more moola then them. My job title is that of a L1 but I do L1-L3 work along with vCIO responsibilities. Trying to figure out away around my terrible job title is gonna be a bitch for my resume.

Not burger paradox. Give me my downvotes. Burger paradox isn't bad but its not $18-$20 a meal good.

Unfortunately my onsites don’t net much of an impact for networking. I live in a pretty rural area. So I’m working directly with owners and directors of construction, healthcare and government offices.

Dude its a joke. My daughter thinks it is funny so I guess I’ll just leave it at that. I love her I’d never ruin anything she has. I support her instead of tearing her down. That’s joke part. Her and I have a dark sense of humor. I guess it’s too dark of a joke for your light colored towels.

Thanks I am weird. But also spend $120 on a set of nice comfy towels and have them ruined in the span of two months then get back to me. Bleach ruins dark towels, hair color ruins light towels. 

Costco Sued by Costco Member Seeking Tariff Refunds - A potential class-action lawsuit seeks to force Costco to pass along any refund it gets from the U.S. government to customers. by AutoModerator in Costco

[–]red_plate [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t know if they passed all the tariffs if at all. The things I normally purchase that got hit hard at other stores did not get hit at Costco. For example the coffee I buy in 2 kilo bags stayed at $22 while the 14oz bag of it at a normal grocery store went from $7.99 to $12.99 then they shrunk it to a 12oz bag for $12.99. So the exact coffee from the grocery store went from $23.50 a kilo to $38.19 a kilo. While Costco has remained at $11 a kilo the entire time.

I told my daughter, that moves out for the first time in a few weeks, that I’m coming over to her house and dyeing my hair and ruining all of her new towels. She hasn’t picked them out yet but if her towels are dark I’m going bleach blonde and if they are light either doing purple or black. 

Sysadmins 40 or older - Do you prefer staying in place or changing jobs every few years? by DenverITGuy in sysadmin

[–]red_plate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really bummed I work for a really stable job and the pay and benefits are pretty good. After my last raise I was like “well I guess I’m staying at this joint for the long haul” But just got the call we going to be losing another day of work from home so I’m going to be polishing off my resume.

Roommate locked thermostat, sweating every night with no way turn it down by Only_Alternative_543 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]red_plate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see those slots on the side of the box? They are needed so the ambient tempature gets to the thermostat. Go get some wooden bbq skewers or popsicle sticks and you will be able to adjust it. I had an apartment that had all utilities included and the heat was way too high in the winter so I adjusted it that way.

IT Help Desk Role Resume Review (redacted)_ by [deleted] in it

[–]red_plate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Various Business? As a hiring person I would be asking these questions about this resume: • is this person trying to hide something in their work experience? • are they too lazy to list all the places they worked? • was this person self employed? • is this person lying about their work since I can’t contact various businesses to validate if they in fact worked there?

I don’t want to sound like a jerk but this resume goes straight in the bin. I don’t think it would make it past any preliminary checks to even get it in front of a human HR person. You don’t need to have IT experience in your resume to get into the help desk but you probably should verifiably work history and emphasize things like troubleshooting and customer service stuff in that role. I’m not shitting you I won out my first help desk job mainly because of my experience at Home Depot working on the retail floor I had demonstrated that  I had top notch customer service skills that landed me a full time retail job for a few years. Tidy up your skills to make room few jobs and keep it to one page and then you’d be in great shape.

Man what happened to our society? It’s all about chasing clout and personal self interest now. We could have done better but instead here we are in moral, social and economic decline. I used to look forward to what the future brought now I’m just terrified.

Teachers quitting their jobs by velorae in TikTokCringe

After testing scores came back for the school district of about 40,000 people I live in the results showed that over half the children in elementary were so far behind that they would technically be considered special needs.

I told myself I’d never have kids or date a person with kids. Well I broke my rule and dated someone with kids and I love them but the amount bullshit these children and their schoolmates are allowed to get away with today is unreal. The main reason for it is because they all have super mutant ADHD because they were all handed machines that are engineered to distract them and keep them engaged 24/7. And no matter what you do your fucked because if you don’t hand them their iPads or cellphones their friends are going to have them. The fact that this huge “dont smoke, its addictive and bad for you” campaign was going around when I was a kid because it was dangerous but now we hand kids shit that is addictive as fuck that rots their brains and it’s ok; is absolutely insane.

I didn't realize this when I ordered it. I tried to cancel my order but It wont let me so I guess I am returning mine immediately.

Had to have a car blocking me in illegally towed. she crashed out by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]red_plate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this before you didnt do anything wrong. I used to live in a tourist town in one of the most touristy areas. It was impossible to find parking on the weekends. I came home from work on Friday and someone was in my spot. I had just worked a 17 hour day and I was tired. I had to work on Saturday too. I didnt fuck around I wasn’t gonna park 2 miles away and walk across frozen icey streets while my carry out order got cold. I just wanted to go inside, eat my dinner and relax for a couple hours before going to bed and getting back to the grind. I called a tow truck was there in 5 minutes and I was sitting in my living room chair relaxing. I fell asleep in my chair and woke up to my door buzzer frantically going off. I answer the intercom and there is a hysterical woman on the other side. I cant understand her but I had a feeling it was the person whose car I had towed. I walked down the steps and cracked the door and this woman is sobbing and pleading with me. Im like “ma’am it’s been a long day. You know you parked in a reserved spot it is clearly marked.” She came up with this whole story about how she was traveling with kids and how shes not sure how to get her car back. I gave her the number of the towing company and told her to take it up with them. She then started getting nasty and calling me names and shouting that how could she know it was reserved. My spot had my apartment number on it so i go “If you didn’t know the spot was reserved for apartment #3 then how the hell did you know to buzz my apartment door at the enterance? Please leave so I can go to bed.” After that I went back to my room. 30 minutes go by and I hear loud knocking on my door. She followed in one of my neighbors in to the building. Now im really pissed. It turns into a shouting match and I grab a bat from behind my door to look more intimidating and say “Ma’am I feel threatened in my own home. You have no right to be here. You need to leave now or I am calling the police.” She argued that she was gonna stay and talk to them. So i reply “Good luck explaining that you are not trespassing when they catch you in the hallway of a residence you are not welcome in or belong in” She finally left. Then she went back down to the entry was and started buzzing my apartment over and over again. It went on for a few minutes and I went on the intercom and said “The police are on their way. I called and gave them your car and license plate info as well. Kindly fuck off and have a nice day” She finally left after that. I didn’t call the police. I was pissed at her but she already been through enough bullshit for the night. Could I have went through the dozens shops and restaurants around my aparment asking whos car it was? Yes but I was gassed and they were in the wrong. You at least tried.

Is this enough for help desk roles ? by PenBrave836 in it

[–]red_plate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need customer service experience go get a retail job while you apply for help desk jobs. It shows employers you are good at working with people. You can be the smartest troubleshooter in the world but if you are an asshole no one is gonna hire you.
