But actually there's a good question in there...

Is the plug-in electromagnet faster than a speeding bullet

True. But I doubt anybody will be looking for wiped partitions while I am being escorted out the door. A few hours later and they'll finally start to catch on.

I expect my boss to definately be back by then. And while our "i.t. dept" consists of just us, the higher ups may only see it fit to have a single person to cut costs in the short term.

Sickening to think about really. This place is very short sighted. Phenomenal when things are going great, but scary as hell when they have a 2 million deficit to fill. I don't get how they can just up and lay-off people without a single warning. Just on the street now with no jobs.

Oh well. We shall see what comes my way by June. As for now, I just have to make it through today. Then I can start the weekend with some proper beers. Tomorrow will be a nice relaxing morning staring at the Z while at the coffee shop outside, and going to a food truck rodeo in the evening with 40+ beer samples to taste test. Hoping to get some golf or detailing the Z on Sunday.

And if I do end up not having a job soon, it might just be the finally kick in the arse needed to leave NY. I'm not loosing the Z!!

The Portuguese are taking over here slowly. Let's fire 20+ people, but hire 3 more straight-from-Portugal people who can hardly speak English. So I wouldn't say I'd be shocked.

Port I.T.: Como Estas?
Cust Serv: I need toner!
Port I.T.: Uno en dos tacos?
Cust Serv: Can I speak to someone in your department who speaks English?
Port I.T.: sushi!

Just let me upgrade my damn poor servers, mess around with my scripts, yell at my AD for disabling a password, and blacklist more I.P.s attacking a new honeypot I set up.

A company will only realize how crucial I.T. is once they're already gone. Especially when only 2 people in the company know how to run very specific and custom built software.

Leingod · 05-20-2016, 08:04 AM

On a happy note. I remembered that I look damn good in my Alfani dress shirt, Alfani skinny tie, Van Huessen skinny dress pants, and Clarks dress shoes.

Leingod · 05-20-2016, 08:04 AM

Might give Kernchan a run for his money with his Nordstrom shopping spree.

Leingod · 05-20-2016, 08:05 AM

It is hard to keep a properly tucked shirt though when you're in waist-high dress pants while entering and exiting a lowered Z.

I am wearing a Datsun Z shirt, and I must say, I look damn good also

Leingod · 05-20-2016, 08:06 AM

And fak! They just got rid of one of the older sales people. He was a nice guy. Annoying and somewhat PC illiterate, but nice.

You're making OnZ proud

Leingod · 05-20-2016, 08:08 AM

I better not watch any youtube videos for a week or 2 until things get back to normal.

lol... corporations only care about making money. so if you make $20 an hour and they can fire you and hire two people for $10 an hour they will do that. they don't care about morals.... i work for a multi multi multi multi billion dollar corporation. if you think that's bad, you would crap yourself here lol

I am wearing cargo shorts, a black Datsun Shirt with an image of a 240Z and a rising sun in the background and a ball cap that says "Battle Lake, MN"...
