@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

<insert Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior level up music>

Me: Does that come with a new salary?

that is the question to ask ; but i'll just be happy to not be micromanaged every second of everyday

Careful what you wish for-
When I started this current job, I wasn’t micromanaged,.. or questioned, or ‘abused’.

Now it’s a daily thing. What was great and a great directory turned to ….. badly fermented chocolate pudding

It is my official Last Day at RDS - got in an hour late, leaving at 3:00pm and not turning back .

Surprisingly, the fiber optic cables and transceivers I ordered showed up about 30 minutes ago. Hopefully that means I'll be leaving the office soon and heading to the data center... This will finally let us connect to our new DR systems remotely!

Morning all. Coffee, uploading some videos, preparing for a meeting in less than an hour. How are y'all?

Hyper priority today,.. tickets tickets tickets,… FFS, don’t cuss at me. And you wonder why I get ‘lippy’ sometimes.

Troubleshooting a PS script, then I recall why I think it happens,.. deleting the user profile from across the network give an error,.. it’s because windows sees the profile ‘in use’ so have to ‘force it maybe’.

Priority is a priority except this new priority and now has a higher priority then the previous important priority.

Awesome - Really happy for you, and hope it works to YOUR liking.

Chocolatey is pretty awesome - I put it on all my personal devices, and 'snuck' it in on the work. They push updates to it,... but there are some things that I wanted over their 'junk'.

Here is a trimmed list from -this- computer:

Chocolatey v1.1.0
7zip 22.1
adblockpluschrome 1.12.4
audacity 3.1.3
balabolka 2.15.0.822
chromium 103.0.5060.114
discord 1.0.9005
etcher 1.7.9
ffmpeg 5.1
filezilla 3.60.2
foxitreader 12.0.0.1239400
gimp 2.10.32.1
GoogleChrome 103.0.5060.134
greenshot 1.2.10.6
hwinfo 7.24
libreoffice 5.4.4.20180111
libreoffice-fresh 7.3.4
microsoft-windows-terminal 1.13.11431.0
nomachine 7.10.2.800
openshot 2.6.1
plex 1.49.1.3146
rufus 3.19
signal 5.51.0
steam 3.0.1.20200226
steam-client 2.10.91.92
teamviewer 15.31.5
telegram 4.0.2
telegram.install 4.0.2
telegram.portable 4.0.2
windirstat 1.1.2.20161210
winscp.install 5.21.1
youtube-dl 2021.12.17
yumi-uefi 0.0.4.6

Likely a few that need to be culled out... like why are there three Telegram - I only need the one - likely MY error during the install. By not specifying the right 'application' name.

Updating is super fast

choco upgrade all -y

Get coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.

Playing with the microphone/camera and related settings - lots of background noise i'm trying to see if it's going to be a problem

What camera/mic? Internal to the new laptop?

Check the mic boost levels….. what noise is it picking up.

Yea, think I finally got it figured out, but I'm doing laundry and my "office" is in the basement in the space across from the washer and dryer - and it was a lot of static -
