Fresh outta school, and brought yer own toilet paper? Probably workin' on a G-contract while in school, too?

Seriously though, right now I can't seem to find a sales person, that's where we've hung. I'm not very personable -- customer says "My computer's running slow, and I keep getting porn spam." I say something like "well, maybe you shouldn't be clickin' those spams, dumb shit." Not exactly the way to "drum up business."

The biggest defense is stopping stupid people from being themselves. Convincing them that they actually SHOULD protect their data's the hard step. I think what we need is a hot early 20's female sales rep, woo them, and show them their vulnerabilities. I actually have a nice starter list, locally, of businesses that aren't exactly complying with data integrity laws.
You'd be correct. I sold the shit out of myself to get the work I have now before I graduated. The certs helped. I know what you mean by protecting people from themselves and it takes every ounce of restraint to not call customers idiots. Reminds me a lot of those videos from the website is down. One thing I just had to deal with recently was this colonel within homeland security complaining about his outlook not receiving messages. Umm, dude there is only so much space you are allowed to use for your email on this server, empty your fucking folders you jackass.

Honestly, all the guys I know that have tried to privatize after chaining themselves to the federal security teat are playing hell to get into a good job with any trust. I HATED officers! Fuckin' most stupid bunch of computer illiterates I've ever seen! I wonder HOW can some of them get that TS, with their idiotic blathering? And, HOW does the military decide who should be UNIX Sys. Admins, or Security Admins? I remember teaching this class at an AF Base down in the Southeast. 10 officers, all "elite IT specialists." Trying to explain something like back-tunneling as a security risk (why the base didn't allow SSH connections outside the NOC.) Officer, had to be in his 40s, otherwise seemingly professional and intelligent raises his hand and says "Well, you know a lot of websites are blocked in the NOC, only way we can view 'em is if we launch a remote browser." This is from a TOP SECRET system! Not even supposed to have internet, or general network, access (they cabled in a network connection, figuring that no one would figure it out.) He's launching his Firefox on his Unix terminal, by using X-over SSH on a reversed tunnel -- from his home system running Windows XP SP1 (back in the day, yo!) He was one that I would call "an officer having potential." half of the admins didn't even know you could tunnel inside a tunnel. They were trying to set up "hidden" VPN connections, so that they could use desktop sharing to access websites outside the TS "network."

Yea, I'm all in until I graduate then I'm finding something in the private sector since they pay better anyway. Ill have to decide what I'm gonna do with my ce|h when I get it. I'll probably just do some freelance hacking for businesses to secure their security systems. I am going to open my own business eventually and that will be my pride and joy. I hate working for other people a I seem to have a problem with authority. But yea, I work with some other IT guys and some are pretty good at what they do while others will fuck up your hard work. When I go to work on a ticket that another tech just fucked up,that pisses me off and I'm not good at expressing my feelings towards issues like that so I keep my mouth shut and go about my business.

You were speaking of win xp, well we are still in the process of getting these useless secretaries switched to 7 but they are so, whats the word, ummmm,,, slow that they cant seem to understand that its just a new prettier layout. Most everything is in the same spot. Well the stuff that they need to access is at least. I had also installed an image of the colonels old system onto a brand new dell laptop with an I7 500g 6g and had to take off 7 and revert back to xp cause their too stupid to use 7. I mean seriously. I love what I do, but some people. GAHHHH..

Whats even better is that management thinks that we get paid to much for the work we do which they have no idea the shit we go through. They come into my office and see me on the net and think I'm playing around, but in reality I'm doing research. and then there is those times when you have to explain a network issue to management in layman's term just to have them go, huh...

End of rant. Gonna go buy some brick weed. :lol:

"If you see me running around like I'm working, you should probably fire me."
That's what I told a boss who said it looked like I never worked, back in my Sys. Admin. days. She looked into it, and realized that I was right (I got a nice raise and bonus!)

Yea, I didn't realize how much patients it takes to succeed in this business.

Cant go get my brick weed yet, my middleman cant get a hold of crappy dealer yet. Some people just seem like they don't want to make any money.

Private sector can be just as shitty as working with the state.
True, but the pay is 10x better. If i was to stay with homeland I would top out at around 45k. Fuck that shit. not to mention i've been worried about turning into an edward snowden if I keep getting around this sensitive material. :lol:

I fucking hate this right here, the fuck are they doing selling shit with that kind of fucking attitude in the first place. Being out of shit is already bad enough to have to deal with shit from dealers on top of that.

Ok, I can't help but ask... Why would you want brick?

Seed harvesting? Or, did y'all get some of that not-quite-brick brick?
I get brick because around my area mids and highs are about the same high but more expensive for less product.
Here are the seeds that I got from my last zip.

Don't Snowden -- not worth it. Private sector vs G work: to me it was a stepping stone (privately owned consulting group.) Unfortunately, I sold out to someone who just threw me right into a government contract. If you DO contract, it pays a LOT more. very comfortable 6 figures consulting for HS/DoD/NSA. But, it's almost all travel, and you WILL constantly have to deal with the lowest common. Aside from that, walking into a base or G complex, getting to skip the metal detectors and ignore the officers while others have to stop and salute is fun! Leaving that for pure private was the bad idea. G-work leaves a bad taste in a lot of employer's mouths. Especially after Snowden. There seems to be some (not so) hidden animosity toward the people that worked for the government.

What makes it worse is when you actually meet the dealer and they say [hey, wanna break me off a blunt?] I'm like yea, give me 10 dollars back and I'll break you off a blunt.

Yea, I wouldn't really do that. I love to make money to much and to have the us government gunning for me doesn't sit well with me.
Looks like you've got a new(er) Lenovo Thinkpad.
Incorrect. I got this toshiba p855-s5312 for a steal since it was an open box. I replaced the 700g hd with a 1tb. and removed win 8 to 7 ultimate hacked of course. :lol: This fucker floats.

Nice! The same ctrl/function/windows/alt layout as my T410. (I'm back on an old R60 now -- the T410, although advertised as "able to withstand high G-Force impacts" was NOT able to withstand the G-force generated when I chucked it into the floor.) I've only upgraded to the .5 TB an 4GB RAM (maxed out) allowed -- but Linux Mint does great!

Everyone seems to be really generous here with weed, as long as they are in the club circle. There aren't any street dealers left here really, unless they sell other stuff. I've been given 4 bags of weed in the last week. If I see something I like I'll just tell them that it's really good and that I would like to try it.

People used to give me drugs all the time. So much so that a girl I was dating thought I was something or someone I was not.
