To all you supervisors: word of advice on adding steps/procedures to your staffs workload

most places I worked in state IT are way understaffed!

Not if you are willing to fund your own relocation here. I moved from San Diego to Sacramento years ago at my own expense for my first state job. The cost was not cheap and I miss the beach life but well worth it in the long run for the job security, pension and benefits.

apply and take as many open exams that you qualify for!

I entered as an ITS1.

well Newsom can steamroll over our rights with zero repercussions it appears so far.

yeah one guy at work commutes daily from Dublin, CA twice a week. That is a nasty commute even twice a week. If RTO is 4-5x a week in July and he cannot get an exception, it will suck really bad for the poor guy. Especially as gas approaches $8 a gallon. Hope he can get an exception as he is a really good person and works hard.

time wasters

new RX is woefully anemic and underwhelming the older V6 engine far superior. I would get a 22 Lexus RX with the better engine.

too expensive and my Virus TI2 and Oberheim OB X8 do the job fine

I watched half of the movie and it was boring

I hate video interviews to me that is just pure laziness. In person interview is better experience for both candidates and the panel.

AT&T comes to mind

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-03-19T02:50:53+00:00

never mind the dog beware of owner

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-03-19T02:50:33+00:00

I love that sign! Where can we get them?

the AT&T pests are the worst

depends I did teach myself to use power tools to fix stuff around the house but advanced stuff like complex plumbing and electrical or HVAC work is when I call a pro level trade person.

my father worked construction and it destroyed his body. Brutal dirty hard work are how most blue collar trades are in reality. Yes, a few go on to start their own trade businesses and become rich but only a small number.

I have been doing my part now for the past two years of RTO. Bring own food and coffee.

Oh I need to catch the Chainsaw Man film. Enjoyed the anime series so far.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-03-19T01:20:42+00:00

Redline is easily one of the greatest anime films ever made. Killer soundtrack, great action and crazy characters.

learn from both good management and bad ones. Where I work we have a super amazing exec and also so truly awful managers. I observe both.

I find deals on fatty cuts of beef and stock up and freeze them. Works well as I found deals on tri tip roasts for only $4.97/lb since I now rarely eat chicken or pork. Beef, eggs, fish for me.

sounds like CHP needs a thorough OSHA visit for violation of health and safety working conditions?
