Not a perfect fit but close enough...

I'm "working" from home due to the storm.... I took a 2.5 hr lunch and then opened my work email if that counts for anything.

About to leave work early due to the impending over-hyped snow storm. Schools were closed 24 hrs before the storm was scheduled to hit. At least it's an excuse for a half day today and I can also be late tomorrow.

I got my SW PMs down to a fewer than 20, which means that they fit on a single page now. And all of the ones that are left are ones that I need to maintain for reference reasons (they have information in them that I don't want to lose.) Nothing more requiring follow up and now I can, I hope, keep on top of new ones as they come.

I had the impression that using email as a place to store important or reference information was a bad idea..

I say that,.. but I find that I still do so. There are over 4,460 emails in my Gmail account....

15,938 in my personal gmail account...

A paltry 3,328 in my work email.

I'm at 29,314 in my primary Gmail account... 137 in my work (but I just started here 2 weeks ago).

Just had a 10th and 11th project put on my plate. Well I guess i'm not going to be bored any time soon.

Southwest isnt booking that far out yet so I am kind of estimating that the prices of Tuesday and Sunday flights are similar no matter what month it is.

@scottalanmiller - How late will your group be in Austin? I'm thinking of staying until Sunday if a good size group will be there to hang out and see some sights.

Almost everything out of Green Bay goes through O'Hare but $700+. If I go out of Milwaukee I will go Southwest because they are cheaper (about $450) and then I go through Dallas Love Field which is nice and small. Only drawback of Milwaukee is it's a 3.5 hr drive from home.

Poking around at flight prices for SpiceWorld... Doing all I can to avoid O'Hare.

@scottalanmiller would you need to press on the tattoo to pair w/ AJ?

You'd have to have a matching tattoo and you'd have to press your tattoo to his to pair.

Or can you provide them with the amazon orders that states the serial numbers therefore proving that you ordered them?

Can you ask them to give you a copy of the work order where the tech installed the hardware (clearly stating the serial number of the router) that has your signature on it as accepting the work?

Yea that is what I followed and it didn't work. 45 minutes later I realized this is because this is an isolated stack of switches that is not plugged into the domain yet..... Hard to get a time when they cant talk with the ntp server!!

facepalm

Glad you got it sorted out eventually.

I used this when I got sick of the log file times not being correct...

Technically by constantly networking with other IT pros and meeting as many people as I can I am always "job hunting". I was able to take the last IT event I attended to find my current job all while my soon to be new boss was at that same event and turn it into my new job where I just finished my 2nd day. It felt like cheating but it's my life, my money, and my sanity that makes me do it because you never know where your next job will come from. If things get stagnant then a lateral move is ok even if it may be a slight drop in pay just to see whats down the other fork in the road. If there are no other jobs in your market then you can't afford NOT to move into a new market. You also need to keep moving out of your comfort zone and never give up if you want to keep moving up the pay scale and the career ladder. You may be happy and that's great because I will never be. My new goal is to kick ass and keep hungry.

I like your game idea Scott. Think someone can program it up and add it to Steam?

Fully Automated Nagios (FAN) is probably the easiest to set up and has Centreon for the graphical configuration. It works well but it hasn't had an update in a while so it's out of date some. Still works well. If you check out my projects on my profile over on SW you will see some screenshots of my install. Nagvis is the add-on that gives the cool maps I made.

Yea... Knowing him it was probably a life lesson that he learned the hard way. Man, I'm going to miss my current boss.

My current boss just told me to hold off on getting drunk and dancing on the tables... at least until my 90 day review is done. LOL!

So... I was invited to the new jobs annual party tonight but I don't start working there until next Monday. I think it's pretty awesome to be invited before I even start... It's like they really like me!

Smiling so big. Great conversations with a great friend while working through difficult problems. I love being able to help people by just being there to listen and making them smile. 2016 will be the year of changes!

Same question I have. I've been hitting up Jimmy T. over on SW about it and he's been able to send me some links to step by step sites. I can't get the PE version to work yet but the full version works great.
