After 15 years in the field, I made it into management today. Small/medium business the entire time. I am now the helpdesk lead, as my boss put it, he's IT Ops Director, I am day to day manager now. I got the keys to the Amazon and Dell accounts today.

My uncle lives across the freeway by the old airport. I got to see them in 2022.
@coreysnipes @codemonkeymike @tootbrute Happy Thursday. Outlook, teams, 2 edge profiles 14 tabs. That's it.
@kate @tootbrute @codemonkeymike We replace every 4-5 years. And honestly, by the 5th year a clean install is very much needed so easier to upgrade them that start from scratch.
@tootbrute @codemonkeymike
The problem is Windows/Mac software. We work in a world where Adobe/Autodesk is a requirement, so we will never get off windows.
@tootbrute @codemonkeymike
This is outlook, teams, and Edge with 7 tabs open.
@tootbrute @codemonkeymike
Outlook, Word, Teams, WIndows running eats about 16GB ram now.
@tootbrute @codemonkeymike
TBH, 11th gen has already slowed down enough with Windows 11 and modern office that we are standard issuing 32GB ram to office employees now.
@codemonkeymike I'm actively replacing 11th gen at work. It's crazy to me how fast we refresh in the normal professional world.
