Who's team will get the most hatred here?

So far, we have the Colts, Redskins, and Cowboys.

I'll toss my team's hat into the ring - Patriots.

The Colts are perenially at the top of the NFL popularity list. Of course, so are the Cowboys but I'd say the Cowboys are probably the most reviled team in the NFL, closely followed by the Pats.

better plan.

have current place train you on dynamic crm

then leave and consult :cool:

There is zero chance of my current employer training me on Dynamics, though I honestly do think Dynamics could replace a few of our custom apps.

Let's see how I follow through with this stuff. Part of my problem is that I have so many interests that I get distracted (Sharepoint, VMWare, Cisco, etc). The PMP was something I wasn't really that interested in but I thought it was probably a good way to get out of my current situation. I'll probably still do it but I'll wait until late this year or perhaps next spring, when things here will hopefully be slower.

be warned do PMP only if you can stomach the bullshit you have to spew.

Hey, I admit, I don't respect the certification and I have yet to meet a PMP who could do anything but spew bullshit and buzzwords. I've done much/most of the training and as I mentioned before, I'd say there is probably 20% that is useful and the other 80% is rubbish.

Currently working with a (foreign acredited) EE and Mech Eng. He used to be dev too. Smart guy.


Sadly he has the PMP bug too. fucking chasing me for % completion when I am trying to help dev figure out bug.

The PMP probably has the biggest bang for the buck. If you get it and have a few years of experience, you're going to make much more than 90% of MBAs out there at a fraction of the cost and effort. The hardest part of the PMP from what I've seen is filling out the application, which is a bitch.

WTF kind of connection do you have? Tin cans and string?

retards insist on running a copy of production AD. I wanted to build a clone. So these boxes have to be isolated from the real AD, but they want users to test from real AD, so we are doing all sorts of fancy terminal service, acl, etc, etc bullshit.

Somewhere in the chain something is wrong.

I suggested creating a test domain, import the objects with all the attribs and call it xxx_test. but apparently that is not authentic enough

One can never have enough eyeballs when monitoring T1s and PRIs all over the state.

I think I am going to order another 8 GB of RAM tonight. My HTPC/VM server is running out of RAM with only 12 GB installed and if I want to have 16 GB of RAM in my next system, I'll need another kit.
