This resonates way too well for me. The balancing act IT has to play is challenging on the best of days.

Hi. Fellow NoVA IT person who has worked in federal and this tracks painfully well.

The worst was when the sales team people would have a call on speaker in an open office space. Not in a conference room. In the open office area. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Just a reminder that our trans industry colleagues are literally running out the clock. Life and death. If you are wondering if you should offer them a gig even at a low rate outside America, for the love of Pete, do it now.

Are those little sugar cubes?

I say this to anyone that brings it up. Want to see a landslide? Go back to 1984. _That_ (for better or worse) was a landslide.
