    It's not Friday, but I've just heard that the Exchange team requested 4 PB of storage so they can have 5 local copies of mailbox DBs.

    Today is a good day. I just had a call from a telemarketer. Did I yell and scream at them, you ask? Certainly not. Like a good IT administrator I put my skills to use for their benefit. Here's how the conversation went:

    Computer: "Press 9 to not be contacted in the future. Press 4 to speak to someone about your mortgage issues"
    <presses 4>
    TM: "Hello, are you having problems paying your mortgage?"
    Me: "Hi, this is the IT department. We intercepted your call as we detected a problem with you phone and need to fix it."
    TM: "Oh... ok, well what do we need to do?"
    Me: "We're going to need to fix the settings by pressing 4-6-8 and * at the same time"
    TM: "Ok, nothing happened."
    <alright, so he's not using a Polycom>
    Me: "Are you using the new Polycom phones that we deployed?"
    TM: "No, it's a Yealink"
    Me: "Ok, I see. You haven't had the new Polycom phone deployed to your desk yet. Let me check our technical documentations for the Yealink."
    <did a quick Google search, "yealink phone factory reset">
    Me: "Alright, do you see an "OK" button on your phone?"
    TM: "Yes I do"
    Me: "Alright, you're going to press and hold that button for 10 seconds."
    TM: "OK, pressing it now"
    Me: "Perfect, let me know if you get a password request"
    TM: "OK, nothing has popped up ye----"
    <click>

    That's right. I made a telemarketer unwittingly factory reset his phone which means he will be unable to make anymore calls until someone is able to reconfigure his phone and that will take at least an hour or longer if they can't do it right away!

    Just saw a job posting. They are looking for a security analyst with:
    At least 506 years of Security Operations experience in Network and Routing

    I think that is reasonable.

    That is completely reasonable.

    (In response to the Ted post from earlier) This post is so accurate to what I feel happens it is quite literally evil incarnate.

    On website I browse on occasion in my free time is called Slow Robot, but it's not always SFW, at lease language-wise.

    Promised my little daughter I would buy her shoes today.
    Paid some bills.
    Going to get started on my ICND1 course at WGU this weekend and I might hit up the driving range

    I have a pretty boring life since we are saving up for a home purchase next year so I have to buckle down a little and not go spend crazy lol

    I love how the bank told us we could get a 900k dollar loan. I told them that I will not even be at half of that. Ever since I told the loan specialist that I won't go that high she has been giving me a cold shoulder. It might be time to move to another bank and talk to them. I don't have time for these petty games. I want to make sure my wife and I have everything in order by June of next year and not be in a situation of "oh well 6 months ago you should have done this, we have to delay the process now due to that"

    Why are people like that? Pisses me off

    Got a meeting later to discuss salary raise, exciting and nervous at the same time. At least I get to grab some good eats as I'm there.

    Good times.

    WFH 1/2 day, this Friday is a win and next Friday we are off for the 4th of July (US Holiday)

    I might put in leave for Monday just to make it a 3 day work week. Although that would mean squeezing 40 hours in 3 days, due to the shear workload and projects. Ugh......

    Sup guys? Figured I'd come in on this thread. I don't really go out much on the weekends, so this is a cool place to chill. I'm just relaxing and watching some Netflix. I have 5 more mins on this second section of the MCSA on Pluralsight. Probably going to finish that up.

    Today is dragging. Setting up a Linux box to train on at work. Been putting off Linux+ for too long. I've got a surplus of laptops so I figured I'll use one. Also training on Mac OS X. Do you guys ever find it weird when you're at a job interview and find one of the interviewers was kind of a cutie?

    Oh and the weekend needs to get here already. I want to get home and workout so I can then do chores before I relax with some anime on the couch. It also needs to be the weekend so I have ample daylight to go ride my mountain bike.

    REMOVED UNNECESSARY QUOTE

    Nice man. I just got done with some CCNA/MCSA training. Maybe I'll watch one or two more videos tonight.

    So I put a down-payment on a new car. I feel kind of gitty. icon_bounce.gif

    I put on order a 2015 Camaro Z28, Black with a Factory 30% tint. Car will be ready in 3 weeks icon_smile.gif

    It's my present to myself, have done one in 5 years since I got my 2008 Black Pontiac G6 GXP 3.6; Shela is still running perfectly fine, I just want to treat her as a Sunday car. She heavily modified: 5 lb boost Turbo, Brembo's in the front, Coilovers with Koni Yellow Shocks, super stiff suspension, a Eibach anti-roll sway bar kit, and to round it off a 93 octane ECM/TCM tune, she only uses 93 now. icon_razz.gif

    Congrats on the new car!!! I'm personally an import guy. I've got a heavily modified Nissan Nismo 350Z. But I must say, I've been eyeballing those new Camaro Z28's. They just look sooo mean and aggressive, I love it! That 505hp and 481q out of that gorgeous sounding naturally aspirated LS7 motor *envy* is just epic!! You got yourself one sweet ride! Also, I like that you're keeping your old car for a Sunday car. It's funny how we just can't let them go huh? Especially after all the work we put into them.
