Just a guy who has worked in AV for 20 years. I like to talk to my friends on Twitter about things I like, such as AV, Disney, politics, and firearms. Just me.

@ChewieDaWookiee It depends on how far away that horizon is. Looking at stars on the other side of the galaxy, the light would shift very little from center to the cockpit

@SteveDeaceShow Only some? Enjoy your light travel day!

@chris_neto Stop being dumb as an industry. Get rid of business practices on the CTS type exams. Ask about practical application instead of experience. Stop promoting useless tech 4 most of our customers. Offer real in house training & career advancement. Pay people competitively #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto You should know of the new tech, but so much is flash in the pan that it’s a waste to learn every detail right away. Fundamentals never go bad and will always serve. So keep up on things, but depth should always be more important. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto Meetings. Teams and such was supposed to make meetings flow easier, but you have setup and connection issues all the time. It also encourages more meetings, giving you less time to actually get work done. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto Neither. We’re getting less productive while being busier than ever with tasks that don’t matter. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto It depends on if it’s real or not. So much of hustle is doing make work BS to look busy instead of spending the time on what matters to do it right. If it’s an obvious “TPS report” type task, it can be delayed for real work. #avintheam

@chris_neto @CraigMacCormack Being someone who people trust is everything in business. In a world of fake it until you make it, having the skills to back up your words is invaluable. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto We as a society are actively teaching bad people skills and rewarding it. There may be cases on a micro level where things are taught and turned around, at the macro we need to change almost everything. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto Appreciating another person who doesn’t rely on the electronic magic 8 ball to provide their answers. Seeing true skill and knowledge instead of someone propped up by digital crutches to pretend they are something they are not. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@GovWesMoore I guess it really is true - ignorance is bliss… #worstgovernor #NoMooreTaxes #NoMooreFees

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto It comes down to competency. In the modern world I’ve been reduced to “can you actually do the damn job?” The bar has been placed that low. So a combination of mostly what they know with some how they communicate. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto I’m not actually sure. *I* will always value true human interaction, but the greater population seems to be racing to embrace the artificial. Every day, the reasons for the Bultlerian Jihad in Dune become more apparent. #avintheam

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

Continuing from before. @XfinitySupport just gave me an excuse about a zone or something when moving a phone number, lied when she said she was transferring me to a supervisor, the lateral person transferred me to business and they are FUCKING CLOSED NOW! Xfinity is terrible

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

Even now, they are still pointing the finger at each other in direct message. Incompetence is on display right now.

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@XfinitySupport @comcastbusiness you guys have been a complete failure. I have been trying to do a simple transfer from business to home for a month!! I’ve spent over five hours total on the phone with your overseas tech support and no one has been able to get a simple task done!

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@PALeimbach We have been looking for a while and haven’t seen one yet.

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@Perfectjeff @GovWesMoore @temsbaby @Legendary_Mikee This is the second time I’ve seen you use this insult, and I must say please keep using it and I applaud your use of Gramsciist.

[Harry Meade @AVGrump]

@chris_neto Very quickly. If it takes down a room or system, if you installed the AI you own the outage. Time for free service calls and losing money. #avintheam
