Begin rant There need to be more men like you guys. As a woman I have to deal with this kind of crap way too often. It doesn't matter how cute, skinny or blond you are. Men can be scum... end rant

So can woman - hell at the place I work at now had a woman who used to hit on my x-business partner every time he came here.

There is a fine line between flirting and sexual harassment. One means both parts are participating. The other means one person is trying to flee as fast as possible. . .

He wasn't participating.

Did you report it? If not you were contributing to the act.

It's not as simple as that. There is a woman I know who works for the city. The company I work for has explained not to talk to her unless its absolutely necessary because she is in the process of suing her boss for sexual harassment (she claims he touched her chest). The immediate assumption of the people I work for is that she is lying and could do the same to us. Maybe she's lying. Maybe she's not. I don't know. What I do know is that my bosses shouldn't have an opinion of it because they were not there to witness what happened.

This happens to be something I saw and can do something about, but like I said--sacrificing her well being to hold this guy accountable isn't right either.

And the reality is, it probably will...

@minion-queen I sent her an e-mail and told her that I did not think what happened was okay and if she wanted me to report it I would or if she wanted to report it I would absolutely back her up as a witness. I really felt bad for her. I don't want to make a choice for her though either.

Makes sense. People like that piss me off.

I would notify HR ASAP!! Do it on her behalf. If you witness something like this always report it. As a woman I would avoid reporting things like this because, it would cause problems for me to be the one to report etc.

Thunderstorm warning and a Tornado Watch till 9pm tonight!! Well at least it got cooler out.

No public pricing means they try to squeeze out as much as possible on a per-customer basis. I'm guessing heavy commission based sales.

That's unfortunate.

GroveMarketPlace is reselling StarWind we can get you pricing. Just email me [email protected]

Jut sorted the dead XP machine and got it working on another machine until the software people come in and set-up a new PC with it on.

Why are you still running XP? He asked sarcastically. . .

Try having a client still running Server 2000 and Server 2003.........

With an Access database

I have done 13 hours straight by myself. At about 10 hours I am ready to kill someone. But usually a small break brings back a second wind so I can finish out.

I often (about once a month) do the whole down and back to NYC which is about 5 1/2 hours one way. Then work all day and then drive back. I don't suggest it....

I have 4+ trips to make from Omaha to Duluth over the next 2 months, take a break for winter, then back again in the spring.

One way is 8-9 hours, then work my ass of cleaning out the house, organizing things/selling things, etc. Then drive home - I'm pretty wiped after the weekends now days.

Hope you can get it done fast so that you don't have to do it too many times.

At our Colo, they keep having power issues, so make sure systems are on the good leg before they cut it off for maint this morning.
Which bugs the crap out of me, its a colo, this kinda work needs to be done on a sunday. They seem cheap to not pay for OT on the electricians.
It is on our books to look for a new colo.
Did I mention its the second problem with the same PDU source as 2 months ago?

Colocation America is AWESOME!! @ChrisL can help you out!

fighting with Woocommeerce on my website....

@scottalanmiller are you still awake or have you actually been to bed already?

@chrisl said in What does your desk look like?:

@scottalanmiller True. I was able to write an article for our blog entirely on the iPad yesterday, containing multiple links, etc. Wasn't too bad to deal with.

Spreadsheets are a different story, however.

Mileage may vary based on type of work, obviously, but it's been a smooth transition for me so far.

I do it all the time. From the Marketing side it's where I spend most of my time anyway.

Coffee... and explaining how local users work on a desktop for the 10th time...

uh - why?

they are no longer on AD (long story don't ask).

I'm asking anyhow. Any reason can't Azure AD?

Going to be going to very few windows and mostly chrome books so no reason for it.
