I did something similar but with ops management. Left a big corporate job to work for a small business and it's been amazing. If I want something done differently I just propose it to ownership, scope it out and draft a plan and start implementing. Software or procedures changes take a few weeks instead of months/years (if at all with all the corporate red tape)

We've grown enough in the two years I've been here that my overall pay is higher than my corporate job and I'm working 45 hours a week instead of 60+. Also my bonus is going to be insane. 👌

I only adopt rescues, my first 2 dogs loved to run away and were both super food aggressive. I couldn't train it out of them. Then my most recent recent dog I got was a 1 year old GSD. I let her off leash at the park sometimes and even if there's a other dog or a squirrel she won't run off, shell generally stay near me and she will always come if I call. The other thing I love about her is 0 food aggression. There's no point to this post I just love my dog 🐕

Yeah I got a hemorrhoid, probably from a terrible diet with no fiber AND taking long poop breaks AND pushing too much. Not fun 😅

I worked retail and caught that shit in like March 2020. Me and one of my peers both called in that monday with fever and we were both off over the weekend. We were the first two that I personally knew to get it and luckily we didn't get anyone else sick but about a month later SHTF and we had dozens of cases every week and half the store went on LOA due to fear of getting sick.

Wild fucking times, it feels like a lifetime ago.

I live in Excel hell and even that made me shudder. Just work on separate files and have a master spreadsheet append everything with power query.

I made a similar reply higher up and I fucking hate that that's a solution but it legitimately would work in this use case. I frequently deal with 1M+ row data sets and our API can only export like 20k rows at a time so I have a script make the pulls into a folder and I just PQ to append the whole fucking folder into one data set. You don't even have to load the table at that point, you can pull as-is from the data model to BI or make a pivot or whatever else you're trying to do with that much data.

Once you get to a million just start a new one and create a "master" spreadsheet that uses power query to append them all. Problem solved ;)

Don't tell anyone but I actually do this.

Yee we're all getting fucked but what can we do rent ain't getting cheaper. Best case is holdout for the next housing market crash or better interest rates.

I'll buy a home in the next couple years regardless, it just sucks it took this long. I was making good money from age 28-35, then laid off and making less but I worked my way up again at 37 but that speedbump derailed any long term plans I had.

Same hat kinda, around year 2000 I was paying $600 for a nice 2BR apartment.

I'm now paying $1600 for a 1BR in a shitty neighborhood. I make better money now but still.

I already did this moving from micro to USB-C and it wasn't that bad. Plus if they're apple people and have MacBooks/iPads they already got a few.

I can't speak for everyone but I rely heavily on VBA scripts, dozens of macros, PowerQuery for ETL, connection to azure SQL data, etc. If you work with big data excel is basically a must.

Get your vaccines and boosters or whatever, COVID sucks I'm just now getting over my 2nd bout. Not fun.

Look into paxlovid if your symptoms get bad. It made my 2nd bout tolerable but I have asthma and shit lungs.

Lol same here. Some for ecomm, but the most egregious was underwriting PPP loans. There was a database none of us could access after the loans were underwritten and sent to processing. But most of those documents came in thru the portal and we had to download that package and combine it with anything we got in email... Tax forms, IDs, and all the most sensitive personal info as a lot of businesses that applied were sole proprietors. All those documents say on my local HDD and I catalogued them in case they were needed again.

None of that was handled securely, it was on my home network with no VPN, and after the project was over very suddenly I sat on that laptop for 6 months until they sent a return label. I was a good worker but it was a mass hire and not a lot of vetting that happened.

Quick someone make it so we can all check it once a month and see nobody is posting anything.

I'm on day 4 of COVID and it fucking sucks. I haven't worn a mask in a while and I'm full of regret :(

Seriously, a while back our group had a 3 hour session and we got through exactly 3 combat turns. As a barbarian, I do not approve :(

Heh I thought the same with Max Payne. (the first one)

You caught a lot of downvotes on the original post, but it is reductive. I pretty sane conclusion but educational support probably isn't the only culprit, issues like this are multilayered and not so cut and dry.

Ayyy I had to roll start my motorcycle yesterday.

Let's find a local car club and arrange a rice burner parade through their neighborhood at 5am every weekend.
