  • This hurts how accurate it is.

    I am constantly worried i am not doing enough whilst simultaneously getting mad that i have to wait for vendors and review/approval meetings to make the tiniest change.

    When im most of the way through something and i just need someone in apps to make a small change, I’ve got all this steam and im almost done with the task but my priority is not their priority so it stops. And a user ibwas helping is now left hanging. And i can’t do anything.

    If the pay was better i would go back to the desk.

    I dunno, having worked both sides of the fence i would say whilst network skills are more valuable because the barrier for entry is higher, in that you need apecialist knowledge, the general knowledge a service desk tech is not to be underestimated (im talking those techs that actually fix and attend jobs as opposed to those on the phones)

    The number of problems a tech can fix and the amount of work they get through can be astounding. sure, it’s something anyone can be trained to do, but to say it has inherently less value, i dont agree. i do networks in a hospital, and the number of people who appreciated the work i did when i worked the desk is vastly larger than the number of people that even know i exist now.

    It felt alot better getting a bit of software working or replacing hardware, or recovering someones emails etc that got a doctor or a nurse working again and lowered their stress levels and made them smile than it does to upgrade cisco call manager from version 1 to version 1.1…

    I agree to an extent that its not harder to work the service desk, but i dont think you should look down upon them. We all have an important role to play…

    Except execs… they can fuck off.













  • For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.

    Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel “heard” instead of “opressesed.”

    Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be “oppressed.” But from their perspective, they aren’t allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.

    Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.

    When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say “yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail” but then they pull the rug and say, “sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things”

    When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.

    Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. It’s not a belief that one doesn’t exist.

    There’s a distinction there. You can look that up. You will find you are mistaken.

    P.s.i find your willingness to trivalise scientific research and discovery as “some book” intollerable.

    In the context of my original point, the difference between a scientific theory and some political monstrosity not believing something because they have no personal experience of the subject is incredibly large.

    Don’t try to legitimise that clown.
