Them: “You need Global Admin to use that”
Me: “No! GA is not the fix all for general access. It’d be like giving each guest in your hotel the master key to enter their room”

That moment when you realize a quick fix to a malfunctioning cat5 outlet becomes cutting into drywall and running a new line. Starting to wonder if something chewed through the cable #networking #cat5

Today's lesson in Servant Leadership: "would you like me to do x?" vs "can you do x?". This is a new leadership style I'm not used to - 10 years of drive with certainty and confidence will do that. It's new suit - a little scratchy a first, but I could learn to feel comfy in it. #leadership

I'm frequently told that I see the world in black and white too much and need to see more grey. Today is really testing my ability. Already stepped on a few toes because I'm either being too helpful and leading too much or waiting to follow someome else's lead.

When you're doing the job of three roles and two previous predecessors quit and there's no-one readily available to take the position, your boss has to be kinda stupid to give you a mediocre performance review [not me, but someone I care about].

So, just started with a new employer and I receive a text message from the CEO today: "I need a favor, I'm in a meeting please buy some gift cards from Best Buy and Target for me". Def a scam, did they not think I'd check in with the real CEO in the company directory?

Had my first eBay buyer harassment today. Sold some prestige lenses for a very reasonable price. Buyer wants a return claiming they are defective because he couldn’t get the photographic results he was expecting. Erm no, it’s your ability to use the equipment that’s effective. #ebay #photography

Is it me or does @openvibe.social not work so well with Nostr? I’ve rewarded my account and still cannot add Nostr as its own timeline and the following thread isn’t showing all posts from folks I follow.

Just over three months since I got the RIF news from my employer, I’m biting the bulletin going back to full on technical. A quick brush up on Python followed by development of my first AI agent. #utbt #backtotech #lookingforwork
