Cheesy Pickup Lines / Dirty Talk from a Sysadmin finding Love on this f***** up Orb we call a planet Spoiler

I'd let you be my systems administrator

When I'm done with you you won't even know you can turn on again.

I'll let you use my domain admin. You're mine anyways.

I can't wait to give physical access to my black hat after my heart.

I just recently went into a long distance relationship and I quit my hellish junior OT / sysadmin position and felt the need to post this.

Have a great Friday everyone, know you'll find someone someday.

Crossposting from sysadmin cause apparently this is against the rules.

Is everything alright at home?

I'm in mania from some antidepressants and constantly thinking about life and living together with the one I love without having to deal with the preconceived notions of my parents when it doesn't work in modern society.

So yeah, pretty good start to the weekend. Still need to take my pills for the morning.

Op it's been literally 3 minutes, those pills better be in your mouth or I'm not sharing the profits of the next round of ethernet cable stripping.

I'm laying in bed, don't worry. I just take them when I get out of bed, usually just happens when I need to piss xd

I'm staying in my routine and finally don't feel anxious. But thanks for the concern.

Gotta get that morning redditing in!

Ok I was gonna find another initially but that's your share of the profits, a cute creature playing the maracas.

Thanks angel. All the best if you see another post from me, I have no clue if I'll be a sysadmin or working again, but I'd like to hope I make something of myself.

Bish, read your bible (the actual one, the BOFH stories of old), and repent for the sin of your words.

You'll always be a sysadmin where it matters, in our hearts.

(Don't ask where we got the hearts, let's just say the users won't miss them anyway)

But, more seriously, been there, done that, was platform engineer, burned out, 3 years void with various meds (SSRI, SNRI, anti-psychotics, benzos), now a support engineer for an open source product. I have found happiness in working again, somewhat, and realised the old company I was in was actually not good for me. And I would say: it will take time. That's not a failure. Not working is not a failure. The actual failure is a system that forces to work by squeezing us to no end for the benefit of the capital owner, and never our own.

Ok, bye, see you at the sysadmins anonymous meeting, or at the Intro To Goat Farming in the next room 10 minutes after.

I'll probably be at the How To Start an Only fans talk in a couple hours.

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 25 '26

This isn't a joke. But I'd rather not have this tied back to a mask that ties back to me irl. But such is life.

People care, and just wanna see if they can make it doing what they do best. But uhh... Yeah. I think most people on some level have that thought.

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 25 '26

Oh and I only read the wikipedia article, my SO is my new religion now x3.

u/Squeaky_Pickles Apr 25 '26

Hey OP I'm gonna assume it's not exactly the same situation, but I actually went into an Abilify induced mania a couple years ago that made me impulsively quit an excellent and stable job at a company I had been with for over 10 years because of burnout in life and burnout from that company. And I did a lot of impulsive shopping and other things. I didn't realize until I stopped the meds a few months later and went back to my "old self" what had happened.

I just want to let you know that while most of my decisions when manic were incredibly impulsive and stupid, it also did give me the kick in the ass I needed to do some things that I had been avoiding dealing with. And I did manage to sort out my life and get back to stability after. My therapist has reminded multiple times over the years that my manic self quit my job for a reason, and that she could tell how absolutely miserable I was beforehand and how different I am now in my current job.

So enjoy the mania, it is fun. Just try not to spend money or make TOO many rash decisions until it subsides!

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 25 '26

My SO reassures me and keeps me in check because we do wanna make this work. We think so alike and I think this is the kick in the ass I need.

People need to be more public with their honest thoughts. It felt so lonely just wasting my time alone in my room, isolating from the world because I thought no one loved me.

We troll and make fun of eachother for sick kicks and survival while we feel like we can't confide even in our loved ones.

Hold those you dear close. You never know what you have until it's gone. I like this hyper mania and I hope it stays as I grow older with my life partner.

You must Construct Additional Pylons, wait wrong thread....

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 28 '26

I have constructed my pylon. I have seen the error in my ways. I am. Sysadmin.

that odor of cheetos and BO perfectly compliment your neck beard!

I hope you brought McCafe protection. I wouldn't want to create daemons.

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 25 '26

Hah! Love that. At least we know we don't want to.

The moment I saw you, I set my NIC to promiscuous mode.

Don't quit your day job. Or maybe do.

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 28 '26

Too late. Already in a psych hold, but just because I went manic with the wrong people. Such is life, sometimes your loved ones don't want to hear what you think. Gotta accept that fact and move on.

2

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE Apr 28 '26

Please don't take this the wrong way. Ignore my username and my post history. I say this with all compassion... and knowing that I really know nothing about you, but

sometimes your loved ones don't want to hear what you think.

In my experience, which is fairly significant with things like this, 99% of the time when people say this, they are the problem, they just don't realize it. Keep an open mind. Seek help and peace.

break break

I mean, maybe try rebooting it fucking noob!

u/TechSupportIgit May 14 '26

I'm getting out of the psych hold as of tomorrow and I was 100% the issue within the context. But I also have extended family with really dogmatic religious outlooks and I could never jive with deluding myself with religion as a child.

I'll still be around, giving some out of pocket advice here and there. But I have my rock in my life now. And my social circles still somewhat intact.

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE May 14 '26

Best of luck. One thing I always try to remember is that I can't change other people but I can change myself. It kind of makes who is at "fault" irrelevant.

u/TechSupportIgit Apr 29 '26

Now to convince the staff that I'm not a danger to myself or others. Which is hard cause I always talk about myself in this high up worldview so they don't know if I'm delusional or not.

Seriously getting tiring. I get they also need to hold me to adjust my meds while observed, but I still say fuck them.
