@Breffni-Potter Example file was created December 30, 2014. Created in Excel 2010 and being edited in 2010. We do have different files that were created in different version but all excel files this applies to.
The weird thing is if I give full access permissions there is no problem. I hope that gives you insight.
UPDATE: Scatch that. Still an issue. It's only here and there. Sometimes she can leave the file open and itll save ten times in a row and then it won't.
@scottalanmiller It's not a workstation issue though.Anyone accessing excel files from the file server runs into this as well. it's weird.
Yes I did and it did not remedy the issue
I'm running into a weird issue. When my users open excel files on our file server it's telling them that another user has the file open but when I go into Share and Storage Management it shows that no one else has that file open but the user. If they close the file and re-open it they can save it. If they keep the file open after saving it initially it tells them the file is open. It seems like this would be a communication issue but it's not occurring with any other file types except excel files. Also, all of these files were fine yesterday and no changes were made.

My commute is taking two hours today.
One way?
That was quite some time ago! And yes, one way. It was normally three hours round trip.
I have to cover all of ocean county (I know you know how large ocean county is) completely alone. Almost weekly I have about two days worth of travel time

@MattSpeller Yeah no fooling around with this build.
You should post iops numbers if you go this way, just so we can drool some more.
Don't do this. Please. I'll have to add pages to my diary to account for the emotional baggage this will create.

Any opinions on LinuxAcademy.com as a studyaid?
I've come across it while googling. It's a decent place to start. Just remember that you want to learn, and not just memorize certain steps..... if you're memorizing a set of specific steps, it should probably be in a shell script.
Thank you for the input. I am typically a conceptual learner but we'll see how it goes.

@dafyre There is an Azure on Linux cert. That seems like it would be useful if SAM is correct in their direction. Virtualization as well as Configuration Management (Puppet) would be useful.
Azure is an odd one for Linux certification. If you are specializing on Linux on Azure, sure. But that's relatively uncommon, especially because Azure is so expensive and poorly performing for Linux workloads.
Thank you for the input.

I'd add a Linux certification in there, maybe? I'm not sure what all is out there, but definitely check for a Redhat cert of some sort?
RHCE is the only major one in the industry. They've put a lot of effort into certification. Everyone else has mostly backed off.
That's the one I would go with then. Thank you for the information. Would you also recommend a Linux cert in addition to my list?

So I've always wondered, why do so many people treat IT Staff (Technicians, Network/server admins and even directors) like crap? Is is because employees think these positions are below them or what?
Most people have trouble managing their expectations I find. There is also a disconnect with users where they think you caused their problem when in reality you are there to fix it.
And they expect the fix to be as simple as you waving your magic wand.
That too. I used to try to explain what the issue was and how I was going to resolve it but people with confidence issues end up getting even more angry so I stopped doing that.

Yea. If they ask me what the problem was, I'd explain it to them in tech-speak, and then follow up with an analogy that would help them understand without making them feel stupid.
Yeah it really depends on the person. You really have to use exactly the right analogy because I've had people try to optimize processes based on an analogy and I'm honestly dumbfounded when that happens. You don't have the body of knowledge to understand even the acronyms that we use daily, let alone the concepts attached to them--accept the situation.

I'm a data driven person and I don't take anything personally or mean anything I say in a personal way. I have no expectation that everyone will be exactly like me though so I learned a long time to just let it go.

I know the area a bit. Pretty far south, commuting up would be painful.
Meh. My dad did it for 30 years. I'd be fine
@scottalanmiller I live in Brick NJ in the Toms River Area
@scottalanmiller I am in NJ so I can realistically commute to NYC
