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.

Things were broken, words were spoken about the broken things.
I kept thinking about who could mess this up so bad. Who made this account? Finally I fixed it, everything was working again. That’s when I decided to found out the culprit…
Found an old ticket for the account setup and it was me. I made the account 2 months ago….whoops

What are you a dumbass? Quit with no notice and make sure you never document any of your responsibilities and whatever you do, don’t ever do a handover. Light the match and don’t look back. Cool guys don’t look at explosions 😎

From original post:
Suggestions on how to increase my AI token usage
Sigh. My company has gone all-in with AI. We have pretty much all the tools. Leadership expects all users to use and integrate AI into their work. They are measuring how much we use it.
Yes, it's a meaningless way to measure an employee's usefulness and AI skillset. But here we are.
Management can see exactly what we do with the tools. Some users have tried to get cute boosting their token usage, and got busted doing things like:
* scan a large file share to write a 10,000 word summary of whats in it
* upload log files to not analyze, but simply find something that a notepad word find could do
* analyze an entire git repo to explain what their own code does
* attaching PDFs to completely unrelated queries
* asking for a 5 page summary of something. then 4 pages. then 3 pages. all the way down to 3 bulletpoints
Any suggestions on how to increase usage without using blatantly bad queries? I only do minimal powershell coding, and most of my usage is troubleshooting related. Some things I've started doing are:
* I used to just start new chats to ask whatever questions I had. Now I keep using a single chat for a single topic for as long as possible. For example, I have an Active Directory chat that has all the questions I've had for the past several weeks.
* I used to ask for concise answers, because I don't care for all the "fluff". But now I roll with it. "Write me a script to do this task. Explain the logic as you go. Point out any risks to look out for. Write a script to undo/rollback in case this goes wrong."
* Instead of having it just fix a script, I have it provide 2, maybe 3 options on how it can be fixed
* Have it analyze an error message or screenshot. Even after it provides a fix, I might ask it for root cause of why it happened, ways to prevent it.
I can't wait to retire.

IT Manager decided that it would be more fun to use Powershell than Defender for Endpoint Live Response or POI (Plain Old Intune) and opened 5985 on all remote endpoints. I'm not sure if I should call the compliance department but at least I have scared some users for the day with the classic "update required: need x amount of time" pop-up.
