ugh, i hate meetings that are just full of buzzwords.

when it was the wrong server and you’re hoping it comes back up before 5 minutes and nagios starts sending alerts

probably got a computer engineering degree and get filtered out of jobs they’re qualified for because they don’t have an electrical engineering degree and people assume they don’t understand simple things like how semiconductors work even though it’s basically the same degree but when they finally do get past HR then the manager is like “you’re a computer guy right? can you fix this printer?” And then they’re like yeah i can fix it but not because I’m a computer guy I just worked in IT helldesks to pay for college and proceeds to turn off the copier with the big switch hidden 2 covers down and turn it back on again and it works again but then they’re suddenly the computer guy for every stupid thing around the office and they try to set boundaries and then crowdstroke happens and everyone looks at them to fix it and they know how to fix it because they saw the fix on lemmy while doom scrolling that morning before they even got to work but they say just wait for IT to fix it I’m an engineer not an IT guy and then an otter engineer says ‘‘i can fix with leenux’’ and proceeds to destroy the windows bootloader, I’m not even sure how he managed that, the fix should have been pretty simple with a live usb just mount the disk and delete the bad file, and then IT shows up and manages to fix all of the office in a few minutes except the one with the broken boot loader so that has to get reimaged and even though they didn’t do anything they’re suddenly even more the computer guy because they knew the fix was coming and i’m not bitter about it.

Ze Frank has a good video about these psycho clown bastards.

That’s a gneiss boulder.

Respects your privacy better than most.

they also eat bedbugs and other harmful pests, they’re awesome other than being fucking terrifying.

Wouldn’t work anyway, needs a ray gun.

My old manager was complaining about a lack of quality applicants, i pointed out the advertisements don’t list the salary and she said since we’re government they can just look it up. Oh well, hope you like your lousy candidates.

Everyone be tryin to get dat ring.

I can’t think of anything arcmap would give me besides a bill.

QGIS has saved my sanity, i’m really impressed with the rate of development for QGIS as well as the plugins.

I had a great time, i eventually made it to the pig slide, it was neat but i have no idea how he got so fast. checked out the street markets near government center, that was fun. Some guy with a violin started following me around, i had my own soundtrack for a while, that was cool even though it sounded sad. Found the greenway, that place is pretty awesome. A lady slapped a cheap bracelet on me and bullied me to give her money. Checked out the freedom trail and got humbled. The park with the giant MLK arms had Shakespeare stuff going on, that was neat. Watched a street performer do a balancing act. There were cow statues…everywhere. I may need some elaboration on the cow statues. Tried to figure out if i should buy a 10 ride T pass or just pay as I go, panicked about getting stuck somewhere and ran away. i really wanted to get to the museum of science and the USS constitution but i started freaking out missing my flight so I got to the airport 3 hours early and everything went fine. Excited to come back here, thank you all for the suggestions.

how did i not think of this??? I did get a boston creme donut though.

yeah, going to shop a bit farther out and commute.

i had a great time.
