In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.

I started off wondering how they hadn’t figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I’ve started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.

So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what’s going on.

Where are you that you don’t do Easter egg hunts anymore? They’re still pretty popular in my part of the Midwest US. Hell, it’s not even a religious thing anymore haha

Australia was really fun because man do they know how to properly roast someone. They’d come up with some of the most creative ways to call me a fuck ass yank and then buy my next beer haha

(Although, I absolutely whooped everyone down there in darts and I’m not even that good haha)

I’ve only met one person from France in my life. It was at a music festival here in the states. I asked him if he knew where a specific stage was and through that thick French accent he said “go fuck yourself” and then walked away.

Obviously a sample size of one doesn’t represent a whole country but yeah.

First, you should probably lessen with the therapy speak. This is a personal thing but the commodification of therapy is actually a huge problem that we should talk about. But I digress.

Second, maybe clarify this up a little bit? Are these people your roommates? Your upstairs neighbor? Downstairs? Next door? I genuinely don’t know who you’re talking about.

But (I’m assuming these are your up or downstairs neighbors?) I had a buddy who was in a similar situation where even the microwave beeping would cause the upstairs neighbor to thump on the floor. He just had to complain to the apartment complex a bunch (basically every time it happened, as it happened) and eventually they got it sorted. The upstairs neighbor stopped being annoying and moved out shortly after.

In an apartment you will hear your neighbors and it’s unrealistic to expect them to be perfectly silent all the time.

Streamers generally say “this is a sponsored stream”

So by your own definition streamers are generally not shills?

My buddy is a little streamer (gets maybe a few dozen viewers) and he got early access to it as well. Although he doesn’t add any fake hype, he’s just a very good hype man.

I actually just switched my tablet from a galaxy tab S8+ to an iPad pro. I use it for work a ton too so it needed to be able to keep up with me, and the iPad is enormously better in basically every way (except side loading which I don’t do anyways) than the Galaxy tab.

Plus its not even like the Galaxy tab was cheaper. It was like $200 less than my iPad and my iPad has cellular which is incredibly nice.

Its not nearly as Dinky as it looks in this picture. Its almost the entire width of the device. I got to play with it a bit and its actually super stable, its obviously not 100% rigid and personally I wouldnt use it like that because its a bit awkward. But its a really cool device.

Here’s the store page with some more pics of it.

To be fair, this camera was put in the water in the 1970s…
