I've just learned one of my dotted line underlings is quitting. To go back to his hometown to take a teaching/assistant coaching position! Rargh!

That means the work I had him doing will undoubtedly fall back on my shoulders. And he was also supposed to be my backup, my #2 in case I wanted to take a vacation or if I got hit by a bus or something! I've been training him for that for over a year!

RARGH.[DOUBLEPOST=1437169750,1437169542][/DOUBLEPOST]Well, I guess that also means, if anybody wants a job in the high stress/low paying world of being a country music afternoon-drive radio DJ, I might know of an opening.
 
PS don't work here it's horrible we'll bleed you dry and cast you aside :p
I worked in one of Trump's casinos on midnight shift. Usually there were two supervisors per shift. I was the only one on midnights. Bled dry? I knew grabbing my ankles and wishing I'd stop forgetting the lube.

Nothing like waking up to notification that your website has been compromised and is being used for phishing attacks.
(not this website)

The one with the 16 year old design? -What could go wrong?
I just logged into the website for a commercial compiler that I use, and the website has not changed since I logged in during my thesis work in 2001. And this is a well-known, high performance compiler suite.

Hah, no, ironically - my personal one. Gasbanditry.com.

Turns out when I went through updating all my passwords the last time, I forgot to update the password to FTP into it, so it had my 10+ year old (and knowingly compromised) password on it >_< I can only guess it took somebody this long to get into it because there was no logical link between my username and the website, so they had to just try everything in the list before they found one that got in.

But I imagine that whoever controls the site, updates the security software. I doubt a small town radio station that can't seem to find its ISP has good security.
