Just getting my feet wet right not with the A+. I don't know shyt outside of the basics and basic Linux shyt but the Messer videos are on point. I want to watch the videos first then rewatch and take down some notes. Go through Meyer or Exam Cram. Likely Meyer because his book has no real shortcuts. Giving myself to the end of the year. I'm sure I'll be on to the next sooner. I gotta crawl before I can walk.

Dope thread away from the silliness.

Trying to explain to nikkas why they need to invest in the stock market is like pulling teeth.

During our team meeting today, my boss said that due to the Covid resurgence, the Fall timeline to return to office is looking shaky


On the books is an all staff meeting with the big wigs tomorrow so they might make an announcement officially then

Spoiler

(or we all get hit with mass layoffs )

In this economy I'm knocking out any debt first before making any huge purchases. Only then will I feel comfortable pulling the trigger on some deal. We're in uncharted territory right now in terms of uncertainty.

The meeting just ended. Business is booming thought with lots of new clients so we're gucci in terms of job security it sounds like.

The optional ability to return-to-work in September was shelved completely. With the flu season likely hitting in the fall, my uneducated guess is that we won't be back in the office until Spring 2021.

Appreciate it. These low interest rates got me ready to pull the trigger. But I can wipe out these loans by the end of the year

FAANG reaching out about a Site Reliability Engineer position. This one is new territory for me as it's always been Software Engineering. The salaries were 30% above what I'm at now, the company ain't going nowhere, somebody I knew in college is in there. This might be a turning point.

Hopefully a lot of you brehs making 6 Figures (or less) are taking that $$$ and investing it.

I hate Linux so much lol. I think it's probably because I haven't taken the time to really learn it. My girl bought a computer that had a Linux OS on it, I almost threw that shyt in the garbage. Linux is interesting though. I had her put Ubuntu on my old computer. I quit after a few days. Now I see I need to learn command lines. shyt would run a lot smoother lol. I just wanted it for those little hacking tools.

When they start giving me the harder issues though

My TL really came through for me
