   Until @amic mentioned the name, I had never heard of Doug McMillon ( #Walmart CEO ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_McMillon
   
   It may be surprising, but most people in real life know that CEOs don't matter much, either in helping $COMPANY make more money, or in matters of people's daily lives. (Only corporate boards of directors seem not to have figured this out. It isn't just government agencies where HQ has head-in-rump syndrome.)

     @musicman #Epic. When I was looking at #Cerner openings, the employee ratings were “stay as far away as possible” and one oft-mentioned reason was a story about the boss throwing a tantrum about people not being in the office during times when he expected it.
     
     I understood it to mean he didn’t understand that not physically being in the office does not mean someone isn’t doing the work that their job requires during that time. (As I write, I am finishing a case that requires equipment replacement, despite being in an unpaid status since 2019-02-23.)

     people at Epic traveled so much Judy would have been throwing tantrums constantly, lol.

   I miss !nagios sometimes. I want to make a meth joke, and I don't think it'd be well-received here.
   
   What I don't miss is biking 17+ miles every week day.

   We are hiring a #Drupal dev at !perforce
   
   I can probably get you a salary range, if you desire.
   
   It's not my team so I can't give you *all* the dirt, but I can give you a lot of dirt.
   
   not that there's a lot of dirt...
   
   It's more buttoned up here than some places, but jeans and a polo/button-up/sweater is fine. So of the younger crowd wears t-shirts. I think this may be a team-by-team thing. I was told "business casual" but that's definitely jeans here. It's incredibly rare to see someone in a tie. I think I saw some of the Sales people in ties because they had to go on-site to a bank once. I wear toe-shoes and people think it's weird because, well, statistically it's weird. It's not a dress code issue though.
   
   It's not a technical office. It's HQ. The technical office is in California. We've got two (or four depending on how you count) support people, and some technical sales and marketing folks. The culture at !nagios was more for me, but the money here is better, and it's a fuck of a lot closer for me.
   
   I'm not looking for any positions that aren't remote positions. I don't have as many vacation days as my wife. If I could solve that, I'd probably stay here a while. I doubt I'll be able to solve it though. Still, remote positions are very competitive, so I'll probably be here a while.

   Either I never posted that we are looking for a #Drupal dev, or I did it more than 5 days ago. We're still looking.

   One thing I miss about !nagios is the orange juice based Mountain Dew. We have the high fructose corn syrup version here.
   
   I could use the vitamin C, I think.

   I'm just going to email Microsoft myself and see what happens. I'm not getting any information by using the customers as proxies. It worked the last time I tried this, though I don't think it ever worked while I was at !nagios.
   
   I did it more often at Nagios since I was often dealing with third-party plugins. I got some responses, but mostly not very useful ones.

   I am definitely going to ask in my next job interview if I'll be forced to listen to country music. I can deal with Cash, but Kenny Chesney makes me want to kill myself.

      tbf, that's how it was at !nagios, but fuck !cycling 2 hours a day at -15F
      
      I'm not sure it was ever that cold in both directions, but you get the picture.

    It's cool that Unity has built in #GNULinux support. It's not like I have time to write a game though. It's been three month since I've worked on !p4 !nagios: https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce_software-p4nagios/files/main#commits (I bet p4 is not actually an alias for !vcs)

    Anybody got a list of !monitoring tools that support #nrpe? I'd like to list them all in the poorly named P4Nagios. !vcs

    !monitoring makes a lot more sense than using #nrpe as an alias, so yay!

    I still have !nagios tagged on the personal site because that's what I know. I'm not sure I've ever seen an icinga install. I suppose I should correct at least that last portion.

    even though already works with !icinga, would be hilarious if someone forked https://github.com/douglasawh/p4nagios/ and renamed it.

      tempted to do it myself, but I don't want to have to maintain it. I'm already maintaining three separate versions.

    I suspect the answer is no, but has anyone replicated jobs from Helix Swarm to github? I'd like to do that: https://github.com/douglasawh/p4nagios/issues/1
