Any ideas?

Limit SAM's allowed number of characters per post?

Oh, no. You ain't volunteering me for more woodworking stuff...

My bad. I didn't realize that IMCP response was disabled on the site B router. I can ping across the tunnel to servers on the site B LAN. Success!

Huge thanks to @JaredBusch for all of your help today!

@MattSpeller but, feel free to throw beer at your TV if it makes you feel better.

throws @art_of_shred at TV, then takes sip of beer, smacks lips

My work here is done.

Matt walks off into sunset

Somehow I feel as though I should have something to say about this.

This thread in a single frame...

As a strong conservative Christian, I especially have to shake my head when reading those conversations. That Brendan guy is doing nothing to support his cause. What a moron. Can't say I agree with Rob at all, but he sure is right with regards to every comment that was made. Hilarious... and sad, like, for the whole human race.

@Minion-Queen said:

Lots of emails today.... will they ever end?

Yes, at precisely 12:00 tonight.*

*this is not a guarantee that there will not also be emails tomorrow.

Where is @MattSpeller when you need him? What's wrong with 3 days of BBQ? Does this necessitate an intervention?

He may have been the best option...

From my wife just now:

"I am running out to do some errands
my shopping list is interesting:
Tequila
bath salts
Dog Christmas treats"

Is there another "Christmas" party I was previously unaware of?

So this just showed up as our new printer... for the most heavily utilized printer in the entire business.

Laserjet ProM402n..... um....

But, dude: it's got PRO right in the name. What could possibly go wrong?

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

But also found pizza rosso that the kids have been asking for and authentic, back street cannoli for the wife.

Toilet paper, soap, "backstreet" cannoli. Hmm, I think I'll just leave that alone.

@JaredBusch said in What does your desk look like?:

I need new monitors before I can use a stand like that. Mine are too old and heavy compared to new monitors.

Well, I think I found the root of my server issue a couple weeks back...

Yeah, really. Aren't hose supposed to be IN the drives?

Why have a title of IT Manager or Director of IT and not have the power to sign something that will cost us $293.28?

LOL because titles in SMBs are fake or made up to make people feel good.

Can I have a better title then???

I called myself Director of IT for about 2 years here. But after talking to Scott, etc, I ditched that and just call myself the IT admin - IT generalist is confusing to normals and always requires an explanation, but IT admin, oh your the person in charge of IT there, got it.. end of discussion.

I think my actual title still has the word "assistant" in it... even though I'm the whole department. I don't assist anyone. I'd be happy with any version of "admin".

I think "the whole IT department" sounds like an intimidating title. I'd go with that. You could even maximize the impact with an expletive in there, too.

It's going to be hard to start back at 0 for December, after these numbers, but it's great to see this community take off into a life of its own. We're really starting to get somewhere.

Great idea, but why not utilize the built-in audience of ML and just post those articles here? That's a large portion of what this community is all about. Asking questions and posting silly crap is all good, but posting helpful articles is great. Not to mention, it would be nice to see someone (other than @scottalanmiller ) posting new topics all day long.
