Watched "Odd Thomas" last night... not bad for a comedy/horror thing. Not really that good though.
Oi, I really enjoyed that movie. I thought the actors were pretty good. The story could have used a bit of a polishing, but I felt it was a solid movie.

The primary actors did a really good job with that movie. Some of the secondary ones. though... The writing was iffy throughout the entire thing and you could see the "twist" from about half way through. Overall it was a C/C+ movie with a lot of promise. I would watch the sequel if it takes places when Odd is older and the theme is a bit darker.

Okay, Nothing you said I disagree with, so we can settle there. And I would be very interested in the sequel.

Food in a party store? Sounds a bit sketchy.

I can't believe how many people let end users manage their own computer just because it is remote.

I'm starting to realize that most IT pros are ignorant, and somehow just got into the field. I also think this might be why I have trouble getting some job offers, because they don't want to hire someone smarter than them.. Not that I'm all that smart.

Perhaps they just don't want those of us that are not afraid to think.

@thecreativeone91 This reminds me... now that I have the majority of our remote workforce off of XP and onto Windows 8.1 I really should finish setting up DirectAccess. I set it up for testing last year but didn't have that many 8.1 Pro clients.

Wine on the terrace!

I've struggled at many a job because of that...I don't do well with limiting the scope of my vision. That is one way that NTG was both good and bad for me. At NTG, if it was on the network, we handled it. The job after that, I was a glorified secretary. Have an issue with this product? Call the vendor. That product? Call the vendor? Need something on their phone system tweaked? Schedule a tech from another vendor. We didn't actually get to work on much directly. Going from the one extreme to another was a HUGE system shock and ultimately why it didn't work out there.
NTG spoiled me in the "you see an issue, fix it" style of work. Granted, if there was something to RMA, etc, we'd reach out to the manufacturer. Or if it was a TWC issue, we'd work with them. But the whole thing about just calling all these different vendors and techs, made me realize how unique NTG is in their "one-stop shop" mentality. Not how most businesses handle things. I don't think most businesses have enough confidence in their techs to do that.

@thanksajdotcom That is the situation I am in -- kinda. At my last job, I had my hand in all the cookie jars... At my new employer, I am a Systems Administrator only... We have a lot of nice Cisco Networking gear that I could quickly fix issues on, but I am a System Administrator, not part of the Networking Team. (Sadly, all of our IT Functions are siloed like that... it breaks my heart).
I do like my bosses and folks that I work with, so that is a plus!

I've never had that issue. Once I get in the door most usually let me put my hands in a little of everything once they get to know me.

Sadly, this is a state level job, so yeah, I don't see that happening any time soon, lol.
