I’ve been in your exact situation, and I’ll tell you what was once told to me by someone older and wiser than myself. When you determine that your plate is full, you ask your manager to help you prioritize the tasks you’re being assigned. You lay out all the shit that’s been dumped on you, and ask for the order in which they want it done.

If they understand, they’ll stop piling on and you’ll get some relief.

If they don’t understand or say something like “you’ll figure it out” look for the door and find another job as quickly as possible.

Hey, since you mentioned gout (and I read the rest so I know you don’t have it) that’s definitely something totally preventable and treatable, and also definitely something you don’t want to leave untreated.

But hey, fellow Clevelander beehawer, welcome aboard!

I’m in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.

DuckDuckGo works fine for me, it checks most of your boxes. Not sure about the ad blocker, but I run a pi-hole on my home network so I don’t see most of them anyway.

I read that in ED-209

Hear, hear!

Heyyy welcome back!

Impostor syndrome is a bitch

Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.

There’s an easy answer to bring peace to Ukraine. The Russians can pack up all their shit and just go home.

I was He-Man on Halloween as an 8 year old. My little brother was Orko. It was pretty awesome.

I wonder if you put some worn clothing (like a t-shirt) outside if it will help her pick up a scent and bring her back

Reading this took me back 25 years when I left the Midwest for California. The journey on the way to your next destination is such an adventure. I’m excited for you, it’s gonna be awesome. Embrace the change, and don’t forget where you came from.

Also, don’t forget to introduce people to that awesome KC barbecue, it’s legit.

Take me home…

Obviously the way to combat this is to organize dozens or more people who just walk around, load up shopping carts, then leave the store without buying anything. They can pay people to put everything back.

I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.

Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.

Absolutely!

Yes, they count. Don’t add qualifiers to try and correct a factually incorrect statement.

Just following up because it seems like you’re interested. It’s been two weeks now, and after talking to his usual vet about what happened, he convincingly reassured me that I didn’t do anything wrong, and after opening up to other people I know, I’m in a much better place now. I’m still heartbroken, but at least I’m not blaming myself anymore.
