Ok then, option 2. I personally use crash plan and backup to they storage for $6/ month, but you can backup locally for free. You can even backup to another computer for free as long as you aren't using cloud storage.

How the hell did I not know about this?

How many of you guys use OpenStack?

 

Knowing what the problem is is the first step to ignoring it.

 

Had to work 48 hour last week and 60 hours this week. Made something tonight I call the Dream Crusher

 

Yeah...

 

I try not to work even that much haha.

I'm sure a lot of you guys get paid for 40, and work 50+

 

I get paid for 34 hours.

 

Depends on the week for me. I am salaried, which they base on 40 hrs. Some weeks I am there for 70+, others are maybe 30.

 

Same. I'm salary but I travel for work so my hours are weird. When I am not traveling I'm home doing pretty much nothing

 

Any of you guys have time for home projects? Here's a few that I built.

Fanless HTPC i3



That was fine until the motherboard had a meltdown so I rebuilt it.




Along the way I got bored and built this monstrosity named "Aquastein"
i5





Then I needed a media server for my movie collection so along came "Heisenberg"
AM3 running linux based unRAID. Currently has 14 WD drives of various sizes totaling over 40TB. I have had this running 24/7 since 2011 and only lost 1 drive. I replaced the drive and let parity rebuild it like it was supposed to do and it was like it never happened.




Ran out of room and had to add some more slots



My son called me one day and said he bought an i3 processor from eBay and wanted to know how to replace the Celeron in his $299 laptop. I said WHAAAAT . So the next time he came to visit we put this together. i5, GTX 970.



That's all the PC porn I've got.

 

Very Nice @Dimestore55

I'd like to build a HTPC but I need to upgrade my TV first... 43" Samsung Plasma 720p (2011 model). I have my gaming rig in the office tho

 

I usually don't work 60s. I work the 3-4 12s normally but I had a guy out this week and being that work gives me like 8 weeks vacation I figured I owed them a extra day . I'm paid hourly (Salary + OT)

 

thats similar to my schedule. I work 12s. One week is 24 hours, and the next week is 60 hours. So I get 80 hours + 4 hours OT.

 

I'd make great money if I got paid overtime!

 

I made great money when I was on night shift. My company paid me 16% shift differential. But I wanted to have a social life.. mistake that was lol. I miss it now, and cant go back yet.

 

I just started this new gig and it's pretty sweet so far. I get California pay for living in Texas which is awesome. I get to travel around the country and teach what I love. I leave for about 5 days then come home for a week or two before heading out again but there are also times where I'll teach from home and that counts towards my travel week so I still get off the follow week. Plus the unlimited PTO doesn't hurt either

 

I do well enough, especially given I'm 25 and work in education which is lower than the private sector to begin with. If I add up the extra hours I figure I average times 1.5, though, that's a really nice number. Not that I'll ever see it!

 

haha comp time. one week i worked 65 hours and my boss said, "why don't you take a half a day off on friday to make up for the extra time you've been working".
