I worked in Helpdesk for 11 years. Now I don't oh wait yeah I do when someone around here is sick or doesn't "show" up I get to still.

I am really looking forward to Friday. MS is allowing me to let everyone know about ML day and invite everyone over. So not only will I be talking about ML but I will get to officially invite everyone over.

The cost will be $200 for a ticket plus cost of your hotel room which will be $119/night. The $200 will cover all food and most if not all your alcohol for the 14th dinner, 15th and 16th. Everything on the 17th will be optional.

Some day I hope to have someone in every state. It is in my plan to take over the world one Minion at a time!!!!!!

Ok now I can see everyone!

Secondary suggestion if Scale isn't what you need is Xbyte: @ryan-from-xbyte and @LEzell can help ask questions for Xbyte.

THIS IS WHY we tell people do not post anything not positive about your job.

There is free shuttle service from both the airport and train station as well as lots of locals who might be willing to pick people up too!

We are looking to hire a part-time helpdesk technician. Limited technical experience required along with customer service experience and a desire to learn. This position will be at our York, NY location to start with the possibility of work from home once you are established in the position. This position has the possibility of full-time hours once you have proven your value to NTG. We are willing to train the right person.

Please reach out to Minion Queen (aka Danielle Ralston) for more details.

They should be called Yummy

Yes we have. And Yes we have contracts. Companies generally don't see the value of your service after the fact. We always expect up front on all work of at least 50% of estimated hours.

For emergency services we now do a $1000 deposit on services before we do anything. They also have to sign a quote on estimated time to fix their issue.

Teens these days feel very entitled. They can do no wrong ever don't ya know?

We are looking for people willing to do some of the training sessions at MangoCon. Each Session will be 1 hour long.

The conference was great for me as the head of GroveSocial and for NTG as well. Love that my hobby and my day job blend together so well. I did not attend much of the technical things. I was there to see how the conference was done. I did attend some sessions but really I just positioned myself in busy seating areas and asked questions of those attending.

I was able to get a couple questions answered for @NetworkNerd that he wanted to know about V8.

This conference is very much centered around Veeam's software that the vendors that support them. If you have questions I can try to answer them but I was there as a Media Analyst so very different view of the conference than many of you would have.

If we wait till Thursday to do everything we can do a full video (would be with my cell phone).

In honor of our birthday here I have even worn my crown for the day!

The idea is as deep as the hour allows for each session. So GPO 101 is one hour and then GPO 102 will be another hour. Scale and NTG and Xbyte are sponsoring the lab. So there will be a FULL lab with a way to play with everything in it that you will be learning (or at least that is the plan).

We just heard from Mark Campbell located in Columbia, SC about the new Unitrends Free. Really interesting I can't wait to see how clients use this.

I love how awesome our vendors are around here.
