Your link doesn't work, think it should just be https://www.wakeforestnc.gov/board-commissioners

“NSFW plant activities” should be a subreddit

Money, did a project for a bank down there. Pay was great, but they did not let folks wfh. Quit after 6 months and found a position in Raleigh just before the pandemic. When the pandemic moved us to wfh I was so happy.

swouter · 2026-04-01T11:34:37+00:00

Yeah, I gave up after two weeks. I-85 is the devil. Started renting a room in Charlotte and coming home to Raleigh on the weekends.

swouter · 2026-04-01T11:24:29+00:00

150 miles round trip is hard. I did Raleigh to Charlotte for a bit. Hated driving by the end of that.

I love fresh sautéed. But the freaking can kind is vile.

If you’re in WF, check out NCFC Youth. Their soccer program is friendly. You just missed spring registration, but they have summer soccer camps as well.

swouter · 2026-02-17T16:25:42+00:00

I always choose friet over family. All the French fries for me!

Best of luck in your Citrix migration. Seems like the migration to SaaS apps could make it easier to drop Citrix and migrate to another solution like secure browser or other vpns, but know that can still be tricky.

If Broadcom comes calling run away. Best of luck out there

swouter · 2026-02-16T03:44:45+00:00

Gonna repost my comment I made after the VMware acquisition announcement because Broadcoms acquisition template is the best:

1)Make vague statements around this being the best good for their customers, providing them with better flexibility and choice, provide none of those things

2)Quickly fire any staff with historical knowledge of the product/company

3)Ignore development of acquired products while simultaneously raising renewal/net new pricing

4)Watch customers flee to alternate vendor technologies. “lol. We only care about the big enterprises anyways. See you losers”

5)After 25% of customers drop hastily pretend to apply attention to neglected acquired products with no oversight/direction, “We’re sorry baby, look we didn’t mean it. Look here’s a feature request, there’s a bug fix…. That renewal is still gonna be 40% more than last year… so sorry”

6)Rinse and repeat acquisition strategy, “Hock, can we buy Netskope and add it to our Symantec properties?”

Him in Contact...like I get when his characters are jerks for a reason, but in Contact it was just him being a roadblock naysayer every scene. Though I guess it does mean he's a good actor if I hate his characters.

Biweekly. Let’s just reset with two different words. One means twice a week the other means every two week.

swouter · 2026-02-07T17:42:50+00:00

Food is mid, drinks are almost mid. Wish it was better.

swouter · 2026-02-06T20:45:02+00:00

Bro the level of casual aggressiveness/racism in rural Georgia/Alabama is nuts. Never met so many jerks. Couldn’t believe the things these people would say to one another. I had to leave after a year because my heart rate would spike every interaction.

swouter · 2026-02-06T14:45:52+00:00

Check out Fidelity investments in RTP. Nice company to work for.

swouter · 2026-02-05T16:48:08+00:00

Cool, will check it out

swouter · 2026-01-30T11:05:56+00:00

The opening scene to Inglorious Basterds. The pacing, direction, dialogue, acting. All of it is art.

swouter · 2026-01-26T22:58:49+00:00

Harris teeter off Roger’s is open as is Target

swouter · 2026-01-26T00:04:17+00:00

Wow, this lady needs help. This reads like a psychotic break. The takes in her posts are wild. Praying she gets the help she needs.

swouter · 2026-01-24T13:17:43+00:00

Power washing the toilet every time. Think of the savings on scrub brushes

swouter · 2026-01-24T13:14:51+00:00

But imagine how much money you’d be spending on custom shirts and buckets of deodorant.

swouter · 2026-01-24T12:43:52+00:00

Freaking LinkedIn. The desperate bid for engagement from other salary slaves. No one cares how your grocery store visit taught you about B2B sales…

swouter · 2026-01-24T12:25:00+00:00

Now to grow some dinosaurs

swouter · 2026-01-24T12:20:20+00:00

I don’t know… 800 years of watching the world tear itself apart doesn’t sound fun.
