      @thanksajdotcom -- it sounds like you work with some good folks!

      I managed to find a job that really isn't hard, pays decently, I get along with EVERYONE minus one person, and that person poses ZERO threat to me. I've finally learned the lesson "not my circus, not my monkeys". I do what I'm asked, and when I leave at the end of the day, I don't give the job a thought until I arrive the next day.

      Just keep holding on to that. You need to do that for a long time. It only takes one bad moment of thinking it is your monkeys for it to fall apart. Stay relaxed, head down, do a good job and you should be good.

      That's exactly what I've been doing. I think back to situations I've encountered in previous jobs where I made certain mistakes, overstepped bounds, etc. I made those mistakes too many times. And when I came here, I swore I wouldn't do that anymore. So far, I've done excellent with it. I haven't been perfect, but pretty damn close, and it's working for me. I'm not an easy case, but for all those that have invested their time, energy, money and support in me, I'll be damned if I don't make them proud of their decision.

      I'm tired of being the "kid" who has potential but keeps f***ing himself over. I'm done with that. I'm still going to make plenty of mistakes, but at least I can say I'm not going to keep repeating dumb moves I have made in the past. Time for me to grow up, and I'm finally getting there.

      That's a quite important point: Doing mistakes is not much of a problem. Doing the same mistake twice is stupid. Learning this rule is the key to everything that may come 😉

        Step 1: Start saying Red Herring
        Step 2: Get into and stay among the top 5 posters on ML
        Step 3: Profit

        FTFY.

        I'm pretty high up there but the percentage of actually helpful posts is very low. That will be fixed the more I study though.

        Pfffft as if you need to post anything helpful on here to get up there 😉

        cough my stats cough

                  Quick and clean death vs working on Cisco VOIP gear?

                  Tough call.

                      My wife is watching TV and just heard a story about a guy in Australia:
                      Bill had a frontal car crash. When he was picked up by the ambulance, he had a heart attack while on the way to the hospital. Clinical dead for 14 minutes. But he survived that and because he had so much luck, he thought it could be a good idea to get a scratchcard. He won a brand new car.
                      After a TV station got word of the story, they asked him to replay that scene and get another scratchcard... yet another jackpot: 250,000 AUD.

                      Karma can be odd at times

                                  Hehe, probably. But being clinical dead for 14 minutes and survive that is next to a miracle. I've heard something like that before, but there's virtually always very cold water involved.

                                        I think you finally got it 😛

                                        I would either sell that one on ebay or open a separate thread. Will get more attention.

                                          @scottalanmiller My fiance might poison me tonight. Let's hope.

                                          Cisco equipment that bad to work on?

                                          Quick and clean death vs working on Cisco VOIP gear?

                                          Tough call.

                                          Speaking of, anybody want to buy a working Cisco UC560? Hundred bucks?

                                          Ok, want my bank details?

                                          *International shipping fees not included

                                          Ok, so just pay me, mh, let's say $80?

                                          I think you have that currency going the wrong direction... 😉

                                          I'd probably do better donating it to a charity for the tax write off.

                                            @NattNatt why is everyone still taking those silly quizzes?

                                            It's like top ten lists on YouTube. You know they are crap, but there is just something about a "test your knowledge quiz." that and no one can resist watching a trainwreck.

                                            pretty much....got told there's nothing wrong with the question, so they've changed the answer slightly and it's staying in rotation....like 47% got it right, he even pointed out the error in his answer...yet there's no issue with it...?

                                            mmkay.
