Basically, years ago I worked for MWR on NAS Jacksonville, and did so for 12 years, I only left to go to work for Amazon. Amazon did not work out, and have been unemployed basically for a year or so. I did find part time work as a school crossing guard, but it is only 10 hours a week, so no major money maker. A few weeks ago my former supervisor from MWR texted me and wanted to know if I was still looking for work, I responded yes, and she had me do an application, send it in, and she would handle the rest. Yesterday, I went to the base, and 'interviewed' with the assistant manager at the location in need of help. He had already talked with my former supervisor and had decided he would hire me if I wanted the job, so of course I accepted. Now comes the waiting game. Since this job is on a Navy Base, I will have to go through a full FBI background check, and that process can take 3 weeks to a month to get all the info back. Since I have nothing to worry about in my background, and have done this process before, I can safely say that I have a new job!

congrats, I'm sure it's a huge relief for you :) 

Yes it is, the funny thing is that the assistant manager told me that nobody is applying for the open jobs, and he was afraid that the company or command was going to institute a hiring freeze, so he wanted to get me in before that happened! (which has not happened yet, but is still possible, considering the base is only running at 25% capacity at the moment)

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages.

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
