It's I suppose believable that there are parents that feel this way, but the student/child? Wow - can we say brain washed?

So I blame this on high school. The average (I'm guessing) high school grad has never worked. By the time that @Minion-Queen, @art_of_shred and I were out of high school we each had years of experience (we all went to school together, that's why the example.) I was working as an IT intern at 13, then did farm work till I was legal to get a normal job and worked continuously through the rest of high school and during my college time. So both high school and college were always "sideline" activities to actually being in the real world and having jobs and careers for all of us.

But for lots and lots of people, high school is their entire focus. It is all that they know and, of course, people who work in schools are focused on that as "the whole world" in the same way. If you think about how there is a huge group of people who live their lives reminiscing about the "glory days" of high school and how cool that senior year football game and homecoming dance were and the rest of life is just working the cash register at the local hardware store and being depressed as life is never as good as high school.

We that same crowd exists, one level up, in college. There are tons of adults for whom college was the "glory days" or they imagine that it would have been and they want their kids to have those same awesome memories and they feel that a happy life and a good career are impossible dreams So, avoiding the hell that is their vision of adult life for four years while they party at college avoiding the responsibilities that will follow seems like the only possible way to at least have a memory of what happiness was like.

You never find people with these feelings that also went on to great careers or are happy with where they are in life.

...and THAT is the reason I stopped working for a mid-size public school district after some years of service, about a month ago. Never again, if I can help it. Never again.

I ran screaming from K12 IT work, and never looked back. It takes a special kind of sucker to do that job. I wouldn't go back to it if you had a gun to my man parts.

Found this on SW

There is some registry and command stuff that seems to work

Belarc or Magical Jelly Bean? I have a SQL report for SW inventory that pulls product keys, let me see if it does office.

What is all that nonsense doing in your coffee?

Yeah, if I get vendor spam coming to my house, I'll know who did it!

Not feeling my best today. This place is a plague factory with all the students back again. I want to wear a biohazard suit in the halls and only remove it in my office.

People around here are cold and flu zombies right now... I'm avoiding everyone.

This should be a fun one.... I can't wait till an oversensitive mod removes my scathing comment.

What is it with specifically London based escort services wanting to advertise here? But not bothering to post, only making accounts.

It's British, so it must be way more classy than the escort services we have in the US... obviously.

@MattSpeller said:

@RojoLoco Good question

@Minion-Queen Good answer

The lack of response I got via chat to that question made me post it here. Address submitted.

Is this actually legit or is ML just data gathering the old fashioned way?

@scottalanmiller You have a good point about being in the same place a long time. The main part of my family has been located in central georgia for 4 or 5 generations. It's rare that one of us goes to a Walmart and we don't run into a family friend or three, or perhaps another branch of the family tree.

^^^ This is the essence of small town Georgia living, and why I avoid the area where I grew up (unless I'm there to see my parents).

You must not like your family...

I don't like being talked about behind my back by people who act totally different to my face, so no.... Nor do I like hearing from my mom that $relative ran into me when I was at $place. I was there. I remember. I don't need a review.

Careful with the caviar! Tell the Russian authorities that I'd be glad to test that "caviar" for them... for authenticity.

searching solution of forum

Welcome. This is an IT professional forum. Do you offer IT services? If so, there is a group for self promotion, any promotion will need to be there and not in other threads. But only IT promotions can be in the forums.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I doubt this is an IT pro....

Looking out of my office window at dark, grey, miserable clouds and dreaming of being on a private ocean beach and watching the sun set.

Lucky you, having a window... we have the same gray, rainy skies here right now...

I take the stairs and I have to park far away from the office door. I also got lots of exercise last saturday walking around at a beer festival.

@RojoLoco @coliver As far as I can see Cancer is becoming the reward for living life correctly.

Because we have started living generally long enough to not die before cancer can kill us.

To quote one of my band's newer songs: "I don't want to live forever, I just want enough quality and health in life to go as fast as I can, for as long as I can, no matter how short that might be..."
