We talk about bench work here a lot and people often associate it with low end. I just got an email about a bench manager job in NYC for $180K. Not too shabby.
Is it always feast and famine for you?

Oh I get these every day. That's not something that I want. If I was okay with $180K as a bench manager, I'd have been all set long ago.

Well some kind of manager. I'm not a bench guy, my offers are 99% IT, not bench. That was an exaggeration. If I was okay with $180K as an IT manager, I'd have been set long ago I should say.

Lots of RMAs today....

Ok. N00b question, but since there's easy confusion with terms, a phone feature that says "12 VoIP accounts" should mean the phone can be configured to register 12 unique extensions, correct? In Yealink's product video the T42G "supports 3 SIP accounts." The video was made in 2013, so perhaps his information is out of date, or am I misunderstanding SIP account vs VoIP account?
Context: Datasheet for Yealink T42G.

It means that the PHONE can connect to three different PBXs or whatever has a SIP trunk.

Ah, I see. Then between three potential PBX connections, up to 12 extensions can be registered, correct?

I don't have such flexibility in the Altigen world.

I'm not quite sure what that wording means. Three SIP connections is common.

Just occured to me, I could look into refurbs of the phones I'm considering in order to save some money purchasing test phones.

Gotta love when a newbie posts on SW and says he knows nothing about what he is doing and gets all kinds of bad advice and it turns out that he just didn't want to admit that he knew what he was doing and actually knew far more than everyone that posted in the thread trying to deceive him. Basically he just wanted to double check that he had everything right, and he did. He was spot on in every aspect. And every single post tried to trick him into something totally bad.

that would be a nice starter... but can I work from home? I hate that commut

Not trying to shame the scammers trying to look good posting bad info. This was just a good one because via PM he admitted that he had done everything right, even the stuff that everyone had tried to mislead him on. The biggest thing is that he was virtualizing already, and every one in the thread pushed for physical installs only!

I literally just had to explain to our receptionist that "enter your credentials" in an RDP session means "enter your user name and password". I then had to explain what a user name and password are. I need 5 drinks. And a new receptionist that has something a little higher than mid-double digit IQ.
