Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Hoo boy, I need to stop joking about living in "interesting times."

    We're a small team, 8 people (as of right now, keep reading,) we had 9 (one guy got moved to another team,) and we're about to get smaller.  1 guy has decided it's time to throw in the towel and retire, 1 guy is semi-looking for a different position, and 1 guy is not entirely happy and is looking (and, he's the guy who's been getting trained to support the specialized app the retiring guy has been supporting since '07)

    We could very quickly become a team of 5, and of that 5:

    • 2x are more "admin" / cyber-security than app support
    • 1x is a contractor who could leave on a whim
    • 1x is the web server support guy
    • 1x is the SQL Server support guy (me)

    AND to add to the fun-factor, we're in a hiring freeze with no signs of it ending any time soon, so no backfilling if someone leaves and no adding bodies to the contract...

    Gonna be an interesting next couple months

  • Wow, luckily you got that camping trip

  • Yeah, the camping trip this past weekend was a nice get-away.  Took my Jeep off roading near the campground, spent a fair bit of time just loafing in a lounger with a good book...

    Got chewed up by insects some, but that's what happens in the outdoors!

  • So the wife and I had a discussion and, presuming my employer declines to pay for me to go to Summit in November, we're going to pay out of pocket.

    My question for the regular attendees, do I need to worry about the 3-day passes selling out?  I'm thinking the soonest / latest I'll find out if my employer is paying is going to be early October, and if I pay my way now and they approve me going, I won't be reimbursed.

  • We need two players to fill our SSC fantasy football league.  Check post "Fantasy Football 2025".

    League is thru Yahoo.  DM me and post in the above and I'll get you added.  First come, first served.
