Nope. That was the I.T. intern that they fired. We started work at the same time and the facility I.T. manager got us confused when he called up the contracting agency to complain. I'm still on the job. I smell like roses, dress business causal, and the nicest guy around.
With my current government job for a special project, I'm doing remote I.T. work at the regional level, which sits between the national level and local level. The facility I.T. managers were told that they would get a new desktop tech to help reduce the facility workload. Not exactly. The new desktop tech got assigned to remotely fix desktops at the facility and whatever else at the regional level to reduce the regional workload. That pissed off many facility I.T. managers that they tried to get the new desktop techs fired. I spent my first 30 days under threat of being terminated for being "dressed inappropriately, strong body odor and anti-social behavior," which sounded like the new I.T. intern that they hired and fired 30 days later. That was a year ago. The money and benefits are good enough to ride out even a government shutdown next week. Then again, I'm not really dealing with an insurmountable wall of B.S. that I dealt with at many Fortune 500 companies.
I can only imagine what IT people in a dedicated department must go through trying to justify themselves to 20 layers of management.
The path of least resistance is to change jobs while still employed. Maybe 20 layers of management can get a clue by the high turnover in the I.T. department. Or maybe not. Great I.T. techs walk in the face of insurmountable B.S., leaving behind the lousy I.T. techs who should be wearing red shirts.
President Obama who ordered the takedown of Osama bin Laden and got the job down. He went against the advice of Vice President Joe Biden to abort the mission because it was too similar to the 1980 Iranian hostage rescue attempt. Obama pulled the trigger, Bush sat on the sidelines.
Speaker John A. Boehner, under intense pressure from conservatives in his party, announced on Friday that he would resign one of the most powerful positions in government and give up his House seat at the end of October, as Congress moved to avert a government shutdown.
President Obama made capturing Osama bin Laden a priority for his administration. President Bush made invading Iraq a priority over capturing Osama bin Laden. One was a success, the other was a failure.
The existence of moderates make extremists look extreme. Run the moderates out of the party, the extremists become "normal" as others look away from the obvious. Adolf Hitler did that during the 1930's.
He's probably leaving on his own terms to get a nice lobbyist job on K Street, as the papal visit makes for a good cover story. If he waited until he got dragged through the mud in a leadership fight, his compensation from K Street would be substantially lower.
The word "date" never made it to the keyboard. Then again, you don't want to "Latino" (i.e., pissed off) a women unless you want a gun shot to the gut.
You mean like President Ronald Reagan who raised taxes 11 times, cooperated with Tip O'Neil and the Democrats to get things done, negotiated with the Soviets and the Iranians, and granted amnesty to illegal immigrants?
I had a roommate who would only watch "realistic" movies and television shows. That ended up being Mexican soap operas where the husband gets shot in the stomach by the wife. One reason why I don't Latino women.
The Chinese only owns $1.712T of the U.S. public debt. Social Security and other government retirement programs has $5.117T. While we do the Chinese some money, we owe our retires even more money.
The Chinese have my background investigative report and my fingerprints for my government job. Next they will be shutting down the government for no reason.
I was recently surprised to see unmanaged switches with at least one POE port being available on Newegg. Then again, with the Internet of Everything just around the corner, it shouldn't be surprising to see.
My sugar-free vanilla latte haven't kicked in yet this morning. I read "Ethernet Taser" as a Ethernet-powered Taser and "them" as security guards. I haven't read the books, so I made some assumptions based on my work experience. Or perhaps I'm confusing this with "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, which had a courier who had to get past armed gatekeepers.
From my experience as an I.T. support contractor, seniority by staying put at one company translate into 2% raises. Meanwhile, I make 80% more money than the people I work with because I'm not expected to stay around to collect those 2% raises.
The first person a courier would meet in a office would be security guards at the reception desk. At some of the companies I've worked at, the security guards were armed with guns. At one company I worked at, the security guards were armed with guns and a K9 attack dog. There are easier ways to subdue an unarmed person than using a makeshift "Ethernet Taser" from a wall jack.

President Obama took a page out of the Clinton Playbook by making the Republican agenda his own.
What are the 2016 Republican presidential candidates talking about these days? Not foreign policy, not taxes and not Obamacare.
It's Friday. A slow day for nerds, news and stuff that matters. Political news junkies are having a field day.

Yet another little prick telling us what to do with our code.

monstrous 4TB
That's what they said about 4K, 4MB, and 4GB. Now 4PB in a single drive at 4GB pricing would be monstrous.
But the home video game revolution didn't implode until 1983. Hence, 80's console.
One set when I got hired last year, another set this year when renewing my PIV card.

Valve Steamed Gamestop and EB Games.
FTFY - It's Steam, not Uber, that made Valve successful.

Most workers aren't going to give up seniority
From my experience as an I.T. support contractor, seniority by staying put at one company translate into 2% raises. Meanwhile, I make 80% more money than the people I work with because I'm not expected to stay around to collect those 2% raises.
The first person a courier would meet in a office would be security guards at the reception desk. At some of the companies I've worked at, the security guards were armed with guns. At one company I worked at, the security guards were armed with guns and a K9 attack dog. There are easier ways to subdue an unarmed person than using a makeshift "Ethernet Taser" from a wall jack.
As an IT support contractor, I get paid 80% more money than an IT worker who collects 2% raises by staying put and showing loyalty.
