      Also don’t neglect putting at least an hour a day down as “documenting my day”

      Damn skippy - that's a given.

          Just found out someone submitted my info to unemployment. Great, now I get to add working on fraud to my list of stressors.

          Just some random person filed unemployment for you? WTF

          That's what it seems like currently - only found out because Nebraska Dept of Labor sent a request for past employment.

          of course, I call to try to report fraud - and I just get - leave a voicemail, and perhaps we'll call you back in 30 weeks.

          can't you just not respond and they'll drop it all because you didn't respond?
          I'm sure they wouldn't do anything if you didn't.

          This didn't come to me - this came to my current employer, verifying employment details, presumably so they can see what kind of benefits I qualify for.

          And no, if my employer doesn't respond, I wouldn't expect the state to drop it - what if my employer didn't exist anymore? A person seeking unemployment shouldn't be penalized because their previous employer isn't responding to correspondence.

            And your employer will 100% contest this because unemployemnt claims against a company affect their tax rates in some fashion, depending on state.

              Yeah, and we've had to do this with false or accidental claims before. It's standard fair. Once you say "do we have to pay unemployment for someone we currently employ" the tend to be like "oh WTF".

                  LOL - well, the person who handles this came to me and said - did you quit and forget to tell me? She was making light of it. To me, I'm bugged because, yeah identity fraud... As I said before, I'm glad I have my credit reports locked.

                    What do you think about that!

                    HDD, SSD, or NVMe drives?

                    HDD = bad

                    SSD or NVMe = fine

                        I have strong feelings about RAID5 and this question is the only one that's important right now.

                          Time to start shopping for a new laptop. Definitely going with something new. Too many options to choose from. My wish list includes at least 16G ram and NVMe storage.

                            Add USB-C power/dock capable.

                              @JaredBusch Yes. Definitely USB-C. I have had such poor luck with USB docks that I didn't really consider one. It has been about 3 years since using one. My wife's MBP has all USB-C and it is convenient to be able to charge from either side.

                                        outdated tech for such large drives. I was wondering why they didn't go to 4 drives and RAID 10, these are fairly important servers.

                                          So the Dept went a bought 1600 new servers, with 3 x 1.2TB in RAID 5.
                                          What do you think about that!

                                          HDD, SSD, or NVMe drives?

                                          HDD = bad

                                          SSD or NVMe = fine

                                          Didn't think of that, but I reckon they'll be spinners.

                                          Oh for pity's sake.

                                            Time to start shopping for a new laptop. Definitely going with something new. Too many options to choose from. My wish list includes at least 16G ram and NVMe storage.

                                            What OS will you use??
                                            If Windows, something different, how about a Mac and throw windows on that. I've been using one that way for a few years and it's the fastest Windows experience I've ever had.

                                            I also have to support iOS and OSX stuff so having the Mac able to boot into OSX is quite useful.
