Spinning up my server 2019 VM with AD, thinking I need practice with Hyper-V as well..
thought?It never hurts to learn, the question is what are you practicing with Hyper-V? Setting up the interfaces and creating a few VM's?
Sounds like a great Idea.

Except going somewhere where I'll get less Pay to start out. It's hard at 36k /yr right now,
Don't offer your self to any position for less that what you make currently, that's just insane.
You said you aren't even getting to an interview with any of these potential positions and I really have to wonder how that is. Are these positions so coveted in Nebraska that as soon as something opens up a perfect fit is found immediately?
I'm just not the fit apparently.
Are you certain that there isn't just some glaring issue with your resume?

Care to post a sanitized version of it for review?

Spinning up my server 2019 VM with AD, thinking I need practice with Hyper-V as well..
thought?Single host Hyper V operation is very simple. I wrote an article over at @StarWind_Software's blog a while ago which explains the basic networking stuff (the articles there are all great). Could be a good starting point.
More advanced topics include things like backups, MAC spoofing (required by VPNs, for example), VLANs vs multiple NICs (important for VPNs and firewalls for example), resource allocation, correct snapshot usage, different virtual disk types, underlying storage architecture (beware, that's the personal topic of @scottalanmiller :p) etc. IMHO, backups and the underlying storage are by far the most important things to learn.
I prefer the learning-by-doing approach. You could, for example, build a working VPN server. Try SoftEther on a Linux VM, a really cool and free to use multiprotocol VPN server. Let it authenticate inbound SSTP connections against your Active Directory. Or play around with Veeam B&R.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Sitting around a large office waiting for a phone port from HyperCore to Skyetel to complete so that we can check all the phones that we just installed.

umm WTF?
You use old school *67 call forwarding or carrier call forwarding during the pre port timeframe.
then you already know everytihng is working because you were jsut forwarding to a SKyetel purchased number already.

Tell you boss to suck a dick and walk. Is that in writing what your boss said?
I'd go to the employment office right the fuck now and get this place hit with a bus.

His exact words were "You only have 1 hour and 45 minutes in billable hours to customers. why'd you put 7 hours on your time sheet? "
then I explained what I did for the day and what all I got done. -

He's an asshole, but not the ultimate decision maker. Assuming he is paid 7 hours, there is no violation.

True, for now. I guess the question would be has this happened in the past where he was actually only paid for a fraction of his time worked.

BUt knowing this situation, there is like not anything in writing, so likely hearsay makes it no real case.
