/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

VOY s7e6 "Inside Man"

One of the guys in the field didn't know I was gone. Not unexpected, but I set 'em straight. Now, back to lazing about with drink in hand.

Why were you accessible? Unless it’s family, I am not answering on vacation and even that is iffy.

Some of the crew have my personal number. It was best to answer if only to tell them not to try the rest of my time away.

My team used to be pretty single threaded -- only one who knew how to support a given application/service/whatever. Some of which are critical to have running and are used 24/7. Which made this very thing a real problem.

Things are better now though. We've been cross training, so even if the subject matter expert has time off, there is likely someone else who can handle most things.

Good to hear. Spreading the wealth of knowledge has helped on my end as well. Initially felt like I was losing a bit of job security, but that's not the case and it's taken away some of the added stress.
