He then proceeds to log in, and jumps into AD. I walk closer as he flys through the AD console. I take a closer look wonder what he is doing and I see him adding my AD account to "Domain admins" and some other "godly" level administrative levels. He turns and looks at me and says, "You've just been promoted. How much do you want?" I looked at him, and didnt reply because I was really taken back and wasnt really able to think about what I was conformatable with (especaially with the guy from Bangalor talking in my ear).

He said, well....dont worry...we'll talk money later. You'll be happy, trust me.

I just sat down, smiled....and realized............I just got promoted. :)

haha :thumbsup:

congrats on your promotion. My boss just tells me over the phone... I've only seen him twice.

Your boss is like Dr. Claw from inspector gadget.

BTW, this message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

Seriously. Like a fantasy or dillusion or parody or something.

I mean, what, the bosses said, hey that Warcrow dude sure seems to know a lot about computers let's give him full domain admin rights? For someone to prove themself as a worthy admin you'd think they'd have shifted over some responsibility and if it worked out well, you'd bump them up further. If that happens to be the case then he's awful geeked about an incremental increase.

And, was Warcrow sitting at a Server or was the AdminPak already installed on the workstation?

It sounds too much like Viper telling Maverick he'd be his wingman and flipping him his wings. But WTF, it's Warcrow so it's gotta be true, but, still, just sounds....weird.

I've been doing alot of side projects for his team for weeks now to prove my motivation and worth. :)
