> I couldn’t think of any reason for someone to come inside

Except for the 2 of you trying to come inside :) You do you, sis

Man, I never would have been able to relate to this tale of teenage woes had it not been for your insightful political analogy. I just don't understand the world around me without relating it to politics, no matter how unrelated the matter at hand may be

*laughs in spanning tree protocol

You'd thinkn kids grow out of it, but there's always Trump to prove you wrong

They usually also have at least 2 power supplies and therefore at least 2 power cables for redundancy..

Damn thing like this happened in high school but it was the other way around,a friend of mine did the same thing till now we don’t talk I forgave her but we don’t talk just see each other say hey and bye

The proper response: when she walked in, get up and put a hand on her should. Make eye contact, and say "It's about fucking time, my tongue is getting tired." Give her a little nudge forward.

No matter what happens, when you finish up (and you should finish), walk out, look right at her, and ask "What did we learn about knocking on door today?" Assert control of the situation, make her the uncomfortable one, since you did nothing wrong.

No less applicable.

You didn't fuck up,. It isn't your problem if she doesn't like it, you do you.

Ask her what she thinks LGBT means.

Your friends are idiots.

I think he meant it as in only a saint would find it in them to forgive him

Ngl, there was a point in time when I would have done exactly the same thing for the same reasons- blissful ignorance and eager to learn lol.

It would have been routine. Figure out where the packets are getting lost, then go physically check the device if a remote reboot doesn't work or can't be performed. Follow standard troubleshooting. Check the cables, hard reboot it, etc. You would eventually notice it was plugged into itself if you check and trace all the cables.

-then calls men pigs-

Ah, I see we have an idiot here.

Sure thing! I love to write, so that is what I do a lot of here on reddit. I've done a fair bit over the years at /r/MilitaryStories if you would like to check us out.

>no port assignments or anything like that.

Didn't even tell me what rack the equipment was on or anything. I wandered around in there looking at switches and routers and shit until I found the modems. I didn't say shit because I wanted a paycheck and some experience, but yeah, stupid way to do things when you are dealing with critical systems. He should have at least shadowed me in there and watched, even if he wasn't going to say or do shit to help me.

Well this was almost 20 years ago at this point, no idea what kind of tools they had back then. And they did get it figured out eventually. Funny stuff though.

I recently got an update bulletin and had to remove every power cable clip in one of our server rooms. That's gonna be fun later.

Yeah - as I later became a network engineer, I used it as a learning experience. When I became a manager, I made sure I showed my people how to do shit and never "tested" them this way.

It did absolutely amaze me that a single server was that critical to the business. Even the smallest company I worked for had several backups.

Oh being a kid 😂 I had a crush on pretty much every girl I knew growing up at one time or another 😉 this is actually good for your chances with the girl. Out of 300 kids in my graduating class, 2 couples got married and stayed together over 5years. 2 couples, 4 people, 0.13%. let her get that outa her system early

A competent network engineer would have seen where the packets were getting lost and should have been able to figure the problem out. Crazy.

Yeah fr I agreed with everything except the last part 😂

You should go and listen to Fidlar - Bad Habits...
