Trader Joe's Mac and Cheese

Much better than Traitor Joe's Mac and Cheese. Didn't even have macaroni in it!

Damn traitors.

Don't ask, tell. This is not for them to decide. They need you, you don't want them. You tell them what your numbers are and end it at that. Don't let them make any decision except to accept your offer or not. This is not something for you to let them control. The power is yours unless you give it up.

Hmm okay I'll do that just in case they will ask me again.
I need to weight my decision making .

No need to wait for them. Determine the amount that you want for the job and make an offer to them. You are the driver here.

That's true, if you want to work there again - I'd call them back and make them the offer you want. You could even let them know that you're genuinely interested in working there again, but that your experience at this point now provides the requirement of this higher level of pay.

If you are going to start stating reasons, you could also mention that you are currently employed and happy, all of the benefits that you are getting, your career growth and point out that going to them is you doing them a favor. Companies like to act like they are doing you a favor by giving you a job. But that is not at all the case here. You are completely doing them a favor to help them out. You should not be doing them a favor by stepping backwards in your career as well.

It's just that the news shows more and more of it (violence), not that more of it exists. Now we hear about every bad thing that happens anywhere. In the 1950s, all kinds of terrible stuff happened and everyone just ignored it.

I have used some web based clients in the past. They were not all that great, but they worked and there is something to be said about not needing to have anything deployed to the users' machines at all and for them being able to work from anywhere, not just work machines.

The world is a weird place...

I wonder how feasible Linux is for the customer in question. What applications are they running? What tools do they use? You can do a lot on Linux these days, small businesses rarely want to go that route because they are used to Windows, already know it, have some well established tools there or whatever, but very often Linux is totally viable.

@NattNatt why is everyone still taking those silly quizzes?

Is it this page you want?

Yes, now is there a way to set my preference to land to that page...

You can always go straight to it.

Crap, glad that everyone is okay.

Yes, MD RAID is hot swapable.

@thwr at least it isnt an alpha

Like that cockroach milk would be.

Your hardware must support hot swap too, you can't just yank hard drives out of a box just because the software is okay with that.

@thanksajdotcom said in ThanksAJ Having a Tough Morning:

On top of all that, we're having a major network issue at work so I'm working with that. Production is having serious issues because everything was totally down for 10 minutes early this morning and now the whole network is just crawling...

At least you were able to get into work!

Here is the CentOS / Red Hat documentation talking about hot swapping with MD.

Looks delicious and refreshing. Good summer food.

@Nic good point. Don't treat the server room like a storage closet!

@StuartJordan Welcome to the MangoLassi community!

O365 is one of those places where you need to decide early.

@Dashrender said in What was your FIRST IT job? And how did you get it?:

I had a summer job in high school writing a survey program in Fortran. I guess it was an intern type job.

Were you unpaid and mentored and the word was like homework? Or was it paid, you were expected to know what you were doing and they actually used the software?

What is and isn't interning is normally pretty clear (at least when you are actually doing it.)

I am pretty sure that CEPH and Xen can coexist, but I don't know about with XenServer. Doing so would likely be very awkward at best.
