Too busy doing important stuff, like taking children away from their parents

What's it like to play? Interested parties want to know!

Thanks, I'll give this one the chop!

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office ... I was gobsmacked because I'd been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

I didn't have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.

Fair enough, it just outdoes any dissonance between T1 and T2 by a factor of 10, hence being curious about your thoughts ;-)

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the "if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward" line of thinking.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn't include the protagonist committing rape. I've seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.

I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.

How do you feel about Tenet?

Yes, that's more "me" ... I only do a little light assimilating on the weekends.

Also, Awareness. That was a garbage fire ... how someone got millions to make what amounts to a 12 year old boy's power fantasy is beyond my comprehension.

It is pleasing to see my culture represented in popular media. You may continue.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, the third was ok with some good bits in it.

Under Decks, like Lower Decks but lower, lower, lower, TOO LOW, lower.

The more I think about it, yes it would be a lot of fun!

That's fantastic, I would love to see a Trek / Pigs In Space crossover

Why? If anything the risk goes up.

Or the duplicate crew and ship made it back and he was the only original member of the crew
