      there's no respect
      i'm an older worker now and people think you don't know anything because you don't know about the latest xyz.
      truth be told, I don't know about the latest xyz because i've seen that type of thing before and it had limited market appeal and folded after 5 years

      the less experienced generally see initial benefits
      the more experienced generally see initial benefits, long term issues, growth pathways and so on.

      getting from 25 yo to 50 yo doesn't take long, you should always have your ears open ready to learn and always treat people respectfully.

    • RE: Windows 11 versus 10

      I just hate these bloody upgrades or whatever you want to call them.

      When I was younger it was exciting/interesting, now it's just a PITA.

      I hate them because I know they will move or make you have to do something unimportant, that you have always done, be done differently. Where's notepad? Oh it's called Scribbler now. Where's Windows Explorer? Oh it's called File Finder.

      Why do we have to learn new names for the same old crap.

      Imagine doing that with cars. Press the accelerator, oh it's called the Make it faster button now!

      I don't care about the new tech tricks and improvements, I just want to use my PC and get my work done so my day is as stress free as possible.

      Old grumpy bastard complaining, yeah, probably. Don't worry, it'll happen to you.

      Scratching my head wondering what Mangolassi means?
      Could it be a Scottish woman eating a mango?

      good morning, 9:22am.

      got the word yesterday that we're expecting back on site from the 12th onwards. such ashame, the past many months have been some of the most productive, interesting & joyful with regards to work, of my last 10 years.

      normally i move from site to site everyday, forgetting what I did last and wasting time settling into the newly arrived at site each time I arrive.

      the past few months i've rekindled my interest in IT coz I had time to sit in one place, complete tasks & investigate new things.

      I'm going to spend the time between now and the 12th trying to work out how I can run my work life from the cloud, so everytime I arrive at a new workplace, my desktop will still have tasks, jobs, notes open from the previous site, if that makes any sense.

      and what the hell is a Stroopwafel??? ^^^

      they asked for a rate sheet incase they need me to come in and help with something.
      i'm loathed to help at all following the way i've been treated.
      if i do help, the rate will be astronomical.

      a great example of bridge burning.

      Brand new around here. I see some people here I know of from elsewhere.
      Currently enjoying what must one of the last few beautiful sunny days down here before winter sets in for 4 solid cold miserable months.

      Wondering who the imbecile was that convinced the world to stop placing LEDs in Num Lock and Caps Lock keys was.

      It's a toss up between intermittant mouse pointer movement & not knowing if your number / caps lock is on as to which is the most annoying thing.

      That person "will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes".

      @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

      Having the house wired up tomorrow, finally. We have two Internet providers (Claro & Teko), one on cable and one on fiber. My office is already wired to the fiber, but we are going to re-route everything so that we have both providers going everywhere. Gotta install a switch in my office and a switch in the middle of the house and put four or five access points up to get coverage.

      don't forget your speakers ! 😉

      @RojoLoco speakers in a couch! Not seen that before. My Mum has lights and usb chargers in hers. I thought that was top notch, but speakers go one step further.
