From my experience new hires are fairly safe when layoff sweeps happen. The idea is that you do the same job for less money than someone more tenured than you.

Thats actually really fucking cool

I know I fucking do. Like, what the fuck did we do before pcie enumeration!?

I mean, I'm all for that if they can make it feel a little more fluid and make certain classes not completely dead in the water if they didn't have very specific support behind them. Not talking solo, but instead extreme flexibility in what could work as a duo/trio.

Combat vids? EDIT: found the streams. Looks very EQ which is both a good and bad thing--I like EQ. However, classes like rogue/war/monk in EQ, back even in the GoD/OoW era, needed some major QOL improvements. Like, rogues should be able to do something other than REQUIRE a tank for them to do...

I guess so?

Lol, I'm not talking skirting around the chocolate starfish. I'm in deep, bordering intestines, sir. DEEP southwest Texas. Lets put it this way: I ate breakfast this morning at a local diner, and got to chat it up with 3 border patrol agents..

Your welcome. I mean, I dont have much else to do. I can't do actual migrations during live hours, so its spinning up the virtuals and performing windows updates. I added a DC that'll eventually take the PDC role around 8pm tonight? Eh, these installs are fairly boring. At least I can take 2...

Brofist, @Gunnar Brofist

So, I'm in the asshole of Texas installing a Win2012 server to replace an old one.. Been browsing this place doing windows updates since 9am. Fuckyah.

I have a feeling BoozeCube and his butt-buddy are trolling, But thats none of my business.

Wasn't Vex Thall entirely the blindyness?

Celery is like a cleric--Goddamn effective, and usually pretty nice and refreshing. Carrots are like a shaman--Extra benefit, but not quite as effective

I guess I just have a love/hate relationship with Hyper-V, where as VMWare isn't something I use every day these days, so there's a bit of nostalgia?

Its better than Hyper-V

I like raw celery with my wings..

You're an appraiser? In what capacity?

What freaking alpha/beta are they on?

I bought a truck, cause I'm texan and my little fucking kia piece of shit dun broke on me.

Was that the goal?...Cause...I didnt get that, at all.

"Look Man. I understand you don't like this situation. I didn't choose it, but I thought they might bring in someone outside if I didn't take this. At least this way we maintain our team and get to get shit done the right way. Lets hit lunch today, and see what we can do to improve shit around...

If I get to the point where I have to say I quit...I'm done. If I want to leverage anything, I'll be up front. "I got this job offer. I was wondering if you could match it?"

The work I get to do is something I like enough to stick around if I'm put close to 50k. I'll grab a 100k DBA job after I've got 2-3 years managing an extremely complex RDBMS setup. Both with multiple instances in house, and on client site, in development and production.

Yeah, probably thinly veiled...But my boss has had a fucking hard time finding a fresh outta college greenhorn--He'll spend a year trying to replace my skill level (which he has admitted is the highest he's ever hired) for anything under 70k.

I made no overt threats to leave, but I told my boss that I'm burnt out busting my ass for what amounts to a pittance compared to my workload, complexity of work, and experience level. Said for me to be okay continuing to put forth the effort, I needed him to, at minimum, get in contact with the...

Spamming the balls out of every outlet you can find If its good, it'll go viral

Oh trust me, I am. I'm making fresh outta college greenhorn pay (I reluctantly accepted a lowball ass offer to get some kind of income flowing) at 8 years of industry experience. I SHOULD be 20k, at least, above what I am. I'll be happy to see 9-10k above what I am right now.

Well, I told my Boss he needs to get off his ass and make something happen about the raise I've been promised. We'll see what comes of it.

Adoption sounds like a real option

I'm currently working on a fairly ambitious project--But the idea is to actually sell it and maybe make enough money to break even on what I've put out making it (which, is an extremely small amount if you don't count late night Taco Bell runs)

Crybuby yearns for this.

Oh! If you havent yet, turn velious textures on in your eqclient.ini They win

Was saying the job im at would be cool to pay me shit if i didnt bust my ass constantly So. Opinions. Do i ride this bitch out til the end of the year or start looking?

Yeah, the thing that keeps me kinda holding on (other than a severe apathy for interviews) is the fact that its company policy that pay increases/etc. have to happen at the end of the year...And my boss keeps making assertions that he is pushing for the title bump and a significant pay increase...

I was on PGBT near 635, so probably.

My reason would be "I'm sick of taking it up the ass on pay making entry level money at nearly a decade of experience."...I doubt an employer would look kindly on that one.

Won't the fact that I'm looking after 6 months be a negative to me? Also, I drove by the Dallas Raytheon building today cause I screwed up my route to work. ..God that place looks like a DoD contractor building from the outside

I am casually looking. The market in Dallas is amazing, but I dont really have it in me to look to hard right now--I'm 6 months out of a 6 month unemployment..

A million fucking times this. I was hired on as a level 1 tech, they asked me to take on the responsibilities of a level 2 full time a month after I got there (which includes a ton more travel, etc), and they'd be down to make it official at the end of the year. Well, now I've been working as a...

I was 19 years old still in college--I was fucking dumb
