Awesome to always listen to this!

@JaredBusch said in Advocacy Programs for the Tech Newbie?: Newbs don’t know enough to know what is good and bad. That is why they are new. That's a big deal. Any valuable advocacy program for newbs needs to be vendorless. This is a key reason why many university programs are so terrible - they are teaching newbs by definition, and are mostly just marketing arms of vendors.

@NetworkNerd said in Weigh in on Holiday Career Topics: What are you thankful for in your career / current job? The flexibility to be home whenever I need to be or just to take off with the family for whatever. Election day is a no school day here because the elementary and junior high schools are polling places. I took the kids to downtown Chicago to the art museum and then Japanese BBQ for late lunch. What has the effect of your job been on your holiday experiences (i.e. allowed you to unplug, forced you to work, etc.)? How do you allow yourself / force yourself to unplug on holidays (assuming you get some time off)? hahahahahahahahah Seriously though, I work most holiday's. I generally use holidays to test restoring backups. From a professional standpoint, what are your resolutions for 2019? I don't do resolutions. I'll simply continue to grow myself professionally and personally and work towards my employment goals.
