Just finished setting up the "office area " in my house for the new job. Starting tomorrow! super excited. the rest of the day will be setting up the laptop (coming to you live from now) and getting things in order for my first day !

Chocolatey installed already

Awesome - Really happy for you, and hope it works to YOUR liking.

Chocolatey is pretty awesome - I put it on all my personal devices, and 'snuck' it in on the work. They push updates to it,... but there are some things that I wanted over their 'junk'.

Here is a trimmed list from -this- computer:

Chocolatey v1.1.0
7zip 22.1
adblockpluschrome 1.12.4
audacity 3.1.3
balabolka 2.15.0.822
chromium 103.0.5060.114
discord 1.0.9005
etcher 1.7.9
ffmpeg 5.1
filezilla 3.60.2
foxitreader 12.0.0.1239400
gimp 2.10.32.1
GoogleChrome 103.0.5060.134
greenshot 1.2.10.6
hwinfo 7.24
libreoffice 5.4.4.20180111
libreoffice-fresh 7.3.4
microsoft-windows-terminal 1.13.11431.0
nomachine 7.10.2.800
openshot 2.6.1
plex 1.49.1.3146
rufus 3.19
signal 5.51.0
steam 3.0.1.20200226
steam-client 2.10.91.92
teamviewer 15.31.5
telegram 4.0.2
telegram.install 4.0.2
telegram.portable 4.0.2
windirstat 1.1.2.20161210
winscp.install 5.21.1
youtube-dl 2021.12.17
yumi-uefi 0.0.4.6

Likely a few that need to be culled out... like why are there three Telegram - I only need the one - likely MY error during the install. By not specifying the right 'application' name.

Updating is super fast

choco upgrade all -y

Get coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.

Good stuff to have!

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

Me: Does that come with a new salary?

that is the question to ask ; but i'll just be happy to not be micromanaged every second of everyday

Careful what you wish for-
When I started this current job, I wasn’t micromanaged,.. or questioned, or ‘abused’.

Now it’s a daily thing. What was great and a great directory turned to ….. badly fermented chocolate pudding

that's unfortunate. I'm just hoping it's not the same thing

Just wrote one of the most sarcasitc/troll-ful guides i've ever written for this company

Wiping the work computer tomorrow morning when I come in, putting a fresh install of windows10 on it and wiping my hands of this place , the count down continues.. getting more and more excited.

Careful of don't-giva-a-crapenitis. It hits hard the closer you get to a work place not being your problem

I've been pushing past it because the customers dont deserve that, but I'm about there. tomorrow will be a wonderful day, I'm so excited.

The Count down continues - setup 2 meetings for my first day with the new company for Monday.

One with HR For new hire paperwork, and the other with your new boss for introduction to the team?

Last Monday driving into the office , pretty exciting in a week from today I'll be starting my new role

We look forward to your stories of how the old place falls apart without you!

there's been a lot of "whats the plan?" and " we need to do 'cross training' so that people can do my job" and a few " we probably need to hire 2 people to do his job.." conversations going around .. lol

Jajaja... how about some "we should appreciate our employees and listen to them" discussions?

The surprising one is we haven't hear - they offered me more money to stay... perhaps they realize how terrible they are...

they asked what the new position would give me and the GM said " I can't beat that.."

Good for you, don’t forget to take any time your are owed unless they are doing a payout. Collect any of your personal items over them boxing it up and this breaking it for you. And connect with those you may with to continue a professional connection with.

Cleaning out my desk and work van this week for exactly that reason and i've been making phone calls to customers already
