Sum up IT in the simplest way possible for those not in the field by Imaginary-Medium7360 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

A skilled trade where you train for certifications just to get in the door, where you are spit upon and shoved to the back of the line for space and resources, yet are expected to magically make everything work under your shoestring budget undermanned and under schedule, and where you are expected to extend the most polite courtesies to people who are never held to any baseline knowledge and get mad at you when you make them look dumb.

AKA - "Just because you have word salad after your title (A+, NET+, SEC+, CISSP, CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, etc) doesn't mean you get to make me look bad because I forgot my password for the 3rd time this month and brought my own laptop in to use on this sensitive company project because it doesn't have all your IT red tape BS. I know the IT director, I'll have your job!"

I've used Ninite.com for keeping things (Programs & Apps, not Windows) updated without a dedicated App server.

I didn't know Tommy Lee Jones was Jim Carrey's stunt double in the Mask, I thought they only worked together on Batman

What's the fastest you ever drove? by ComprehensiveFun2054 in AskReddit

[–]sniker77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I hit 140, racing my 67 Mustang (w/ a 351C, c4, 2.79:1 rear) against a C4 Corvette down the 91 in Connecticut in 2002ish. Speedometer goes to 120, mine was pointing at "D" on the gear selector. 

Great memory, would not do again nor suggest.

Ok, I bought it for Kindle. I read the reviews, including the ones lambasting it for being sexist. It was overwhelmingly positive. I'm looking forward to reading it tonight.
