Suck on that.
Hi XXXXX,
I have read through the unformatted job description and it looks like a great fit for my background. XXX is not far from me, and since it is remote, when I do have to drive in, it wont be far.
I would like to hear more or be submitted on to the next phase.Thank You,
(Now go and format that job description and make it look presentable.) -

@Breffni-Potter @MattSpeller you guys still 10/100? I was reading a post from 2015 where you stated that. We're upgrading very soon. Politics.
We got the worst of ours sorted out with hand-me-down switches hehe. It's not a difficult project, mostly just preparation. Can be a nice opportunity to audit vlans and clean up old junk. Make sure you upgrade firmware etc.

Another great 1 liner from this guy: "I don't understand why this is so difficult??!!" Well, you've been in the office for 3 hours since Monday. Yeah, I would say it's pretty difficult to fix something when you're not here. Never mind the fact that over 20" of snow had fallen the past 3 days.
No work on Monday, now this dude is sick and I had to reschedule the keyboard replacement until Thursday. Bet he'll use THAT against me too.
