I started playing stupid years ago when it comes to the computers. I'm still bitter I let anyone know I know how to fix a lot of their problems because I still get phone calls when they should be calling the tech people instead. -.-
Business cards are cheap. Print up about a hundred that list your name and your technical service rates, and hand them to people who can't be bothered to go to the actual technical staff.
You'll either solve that problem real quick, or pay off that impending mortgage sooner than you expected to.
The first thing I tell our guys is there are three words you absolutely can not use in this order "I don't know" You are the expert, they called you and if you don't know they will freak right the *** out with panic and the mayhem and the gnashing of teeth and the loud weeping and frantic phone calls and emails and jumping out the windows....
have some professional pride "I'll look into it" "I'll get a hold of the vendor" "I'll contact the design engineer" "let me get back to you"
I know that instinctively you want to protect yourself from being blamed if something goes wrong. don't learn these to words instead
"no problem"
the man that says "I got this" is worth a thousand whimpering simps that fold like cheap card table chairs the second you lean on them.
if you get the call, you handle the call like a boss.
There is nobody else the buck stops here ...
If you want to strut around the office like the *** of the walk, then you must become the indispensable man, the man anyone can ask anything of and they have an answer for. the go-to guy,

Wise words. I will heed them well.
Wait, you're not supposed to give solid, non-evil advice. PARKER! What happened to Nik?!
Hope all is well! December 27th! Cut it close. 8lbs 11 oz!
You all have a great day and enjoy the holidays!
I'm guessing she meant she had her baby on November 27th which was friday after thanksgiving. and the "cut it close" is in reference to missing being in the hospital on thanksgiving....which she had worried about.
Wait, you're not supposed to give solid, non-evil advice. PARKER! What happened to Nik?!
oh right...the evil part....
the evil part is there can only be one greatest field service engineer in the universe so one of us will eventually have to cut the other's head off in combat and stuff...
but then the good part is you get "the quickening" after you kill me...but then the not great part is you're kind of disappointed afterwards because the quickening is actually kind of lame... but back on the plus side the final battle occurs in the grocery store spath is forced to return too work in after his retirement.. which bad part is completely destroyed in the conflagration... and he doesn't get his last paycheck...
but then he gets to keep the slushie machine which he fills with margarita mix and tequila... so it all works out

That was the greatest roller coaster ride of my life.

I'll sooner die or join the military than go back...
Quantity != quality. Cedar Point or nothing, because if there's one thing northern Ohioans understand, it's that you can't build a really awesome roller coaster until death feels like a reprieve

This is true. Some of them are pretty good though. Then again, I don't really go to amusement parks anymore. Nothing but lines for a short bit of thrill. I'd rather go to a ren fair.

The other downside is that if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
Yeeeaaah I hear ya. They used to not let me go on business trips and such, but I've gotten everything rather streamlined now so issues are few and far between. Thank goodness for that, certainly breaks up the monotony.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
