D&D night.
Sometimes Iād like to join,.. but between not getting home until 8:30pm some nights, Borderlands, 3D printer stuff and other adulting- I find little time for sleep.

@travisdh1 I'm weird, actually no, i'm old school, i create a gold image on a device with all updates and apps etc, image it with macrium reflect, copy the image onto 4-6 usb hdds, and image the new devices that way.
I can usually image around 12 devices in 2 hours. Obviously I then need to go and individualise each device, but it works for me.
I do this coz I work at 9 different sites and can't always be gauranteed that I can even get bench space when working at these sites, this makes me pretty self sufficient.
I normally drop the image onto a network share somewhere and load all of them assembly line fashion, but yep.
My annoyance last night stemmed from sysprep requiring all "Microsoft Store" apps to be removed and the multiple trips between powershell and the error log to figure out what was still around that was blocking things.

Password update day. The pain of retraining muscle memory is real.

Office 365? That's an annoying day because I'm logged into it in so many places, and Microsoft hasn't figured out how to let you login once per device yet.

Doing a Zoom call with some consultants in the US. I love that in the US they can only get 4G while the whole team in the third world is on rock solid, super fast Internet. LOL
It makes it stand out so much more how backwards the US is when you do business with them remotely.

Just saw a job posting for Arby's (the local franchisee's company.. there are many franchises ) looking for IT Support..
Funny thing about that is my Sister Branch in Davenport IA supports all Arby's no matter the franchise. . . and I'm already certified to work on the POS system they use at all locations (regardless of Franchise).
I'm debating on sending them my resume.

O365 is one piece. Have some other AD accounts that have to have periodic password changes.

Waiting for an offer letter-
The shorter drive will be nice. And getting back to doing more than limited desktop support will also be nice. -

Are you quitting the job you have now? No. So keep moving forward. Don't stop moving forward completely because the next step isn't the ideal one. Focus on growth and improvement, not on perfection.
Real > Ideal

the interview process is always good practice anyway.. even if you end up turning the job down..

Yup. And it gives them a chance to woo you. What if the job is way better than you had guessed?

Hadn't thought about that.

@wrcombs you can always turn them down. But unless they are asses, turn them down after getting an offer, not before.
Now Google, I'd never interview there. Totally shit place to work no matter what they try to portray in the interview.
But some company I don't know, like Arby's, heck, leave it up to them to make a good offer and convince you.
I did that with the big bank on Wall St. Didn't think that I had any interest, but in the interview they were such a great team and seemed like such a nice company that they talked me into it and boy am I glad that they did. It was a great experience for nearly a decade!
