SpiceQuest Returns!

Ah…I miss the quests. I am just so busy now. I tried to start this one and then realized I do not have the time to complete the so many steps required. Best to all!

Sorry. You’re right that there are a lot of steps. All of them are pretty easy, but totally understand that you have a life outside Spiceworks. If you want to post what you have now, feel free. Maybe tomorrow you’ll have time to finish it up.

Congratulated Kelly for (ISC)2 here
“Got a question? Try Spice”

3.4. Followed Chris for Microsoft

I had a song written about my wife (using things that I told the songwriter about her), then I paid to have a local radio station play it at a specific time while I had the station on as we were driving out to dinner.
I have a ton of respect for dimforest because of two things. One, he was the first person to follow me here (which indicates his recognition of greatness: I kid, I kid), and two, everywhere I go, it seems I see him giving really solid advice to people or making humorous comments that help the day pass faster with a little laugh.
If I was caught in a ten-year loop I would develop my own style of martial arts.

Wow. #5 is all-in in terms of romance.

And tagging dimforest so he sees this.

Great job. Badge on its way.

mnkyCmnkyD0 is the kind of person you know is going to be awesome after only reading a few of their posts. One of the quickest and easiest follows yet! And of course I can recognize greatness, I have a mirror.

Introduce Yourself! Water Cooler

Hundreds of new people sign up for the SpiceWorks Community each week. While we have many MEGA TOPICS in the Water Cooler, we don't yet have an Introduction Topic. So here it is! Prepare to talk about yourselves to your fellow community members! For example, you can talk about the following: geeky interests, IT Role at your company, physical location, Spiceworks history, favorite memes, etcetcetc. READY, SET, GO. [be_there_or_be_square.jpg]

Social media, but good and helpful

I’ve expressed my dislike towards the day. I don’t see why there should be one specific day in the year where you express your love to somebody. It doesn’t benefit the consumers, only the businesses making money off of these people.

JitenSh very helpful with the PowerShell scripts, implemented several into our PDQ setup as tools.

Not had many dealings but Sarah Crook (Spiceworks) has always been helpful

This thread is for people who are happy about things. We have a rant thread, so I figured we needed an anti-rant thread to match I’ll start us off - we’ve just got the first batch of results in for our IT customer satisfaction surveys, and we’re currently at 93% (using the Net Promoter scale) Go us

Hope Sarah Crook goes to Spiceworld too so one day I can get to meet her. Sadly some of the folks I want to meet don’t work at Spiceworks anymore. Aaron W, Rob C, Jackie I . Aaron sent me some fluffy rex’s for my kids ( 2 as they otherwise would have fought for it ).

One thing my now-wife remembers (honestly, this is some skist I stole from a former friend), circa 2007, on a Tuesday morning I sent her a rose with a card “This is love.” At the end of the work day, I sent a dozen roses with a card “This is my love for you.” I had totally forgotten about that, and she mentioned it again just the other day.

Man, holy cow, the entire crew of community mods is the best! Sincerely, all the noise you sift, and all the content you produce, and all the cats you herd, thanks for making this the best place! (Also, @fernandogerardo9344 , I still laugh at your visual puns and meta-commentary summaries!)
Seriously, this actually looks like me, which is… a little weird.

… wearing a slightly younger man’s clothes.

So I keep trying to write a proper review for O365 or SPO, but search is somehow borked? Anyway, I’ll start here for grins. Office 365 is actually pretty great! The increasingly deeper integration I actually appreciate, and I can soon see a day coming when we won’t need fat clients at all! Actually, once I finish my BS in CompSci, I’m seriously entertaining updating my certs with some kind of MS certified cloud architecture something or other. Anyway, yay O365! 5 stars, will continually buy again and again, every month!

Please read previous captions for lulz.

And after struggling with this for 15+ min, I realize I’m actually not at all comfortable posting my face on the internet. Weird, right? Anyway, here’s something I made instead.

This year my wife and I set up a Valentines tea for our two little girls. There was hot cocoa to drink, heart shaped cakes and brownies, and fancy dresses.
MAINSTRIKE picked up on my clue and left a link to one of my favorite songs. That was a cool thing to do!

Taking the alternate course in order to avoid feeding the self-serving request: If I were caught in a 10 year time loop, I would go to school a few times and learn a whole bunch of stuff, then get a great job and enjoy life with my family.

Welcomed (and tagged) gcarlosmario to the community! Here .
Awesomely spicey community of IT professionals!
Started following Microsoft .
This year I layed out flowers, her favorite boxed chocolate candies, and a card for my wife after she went to sleep. Also, I knew she had been looking for some succulents in one of those hanging glass containers so I found one and set that out as well.
There are sooo many fellow SpiceHeads and I really do appreciate most everyone in the community! For starters, I appreciate BritishCrumpet , rthelpdesk1 , and jimender2 because I check out Spark every single day and enjoy the history lessons, recipes, comics, and pretty much everything in Spark! Those SpiceHeads do an amazing job at keeping Spark going! Yankeelady2015 makes the top of the list also for being my one follower but mostly because I also see her congratulating everyone on making their next spice level and also welcoming a ton of new SpiceHeads! She is awesome in my book…
SpiceWorkers are awesome! You guys make this site possible and keep the community thriving. Shout out to you Suzanne for this quest, but also to Peter because I enjoy Snap! on the daily too.
I reviewed PowerShell. Here .
Posted about my new whip. On Huzzah! page 19 here .

wyattharris · 2019-02-28T15:30:36.000Z

Eep, only found this the last day. I’m a little pleased to have completed some of these before being asked.

Booyah’ed in the pepper thread .
‘De Spice is Nice!’
This one is romantic I tell ya. Think like an IT pro.4. Spiced up StarWind’s upcoming webinar .
Since she was a little girl, my wife had always wanted to go to Disney World but it never worked out. Like, at one point she had been driven by but they didn’t go in. I planned a full week trip for her and the kids that started on her birthday. And it went great.
I appreciate BritishCrumpet sticking with those Sparks for over a year. That is dedicated.
In 10 years I would learn everything. Or as much as possible. And maybe finish writing that book… nah.
Okay, going to double up once in the spirit of the quest.

The SpiceQuest for March is dedicated to even more holidays. This time, we are celebrating Pi Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, International Earth Day / Storytelling Day (same day), and SpiceRex’s Birthday. I think I will also throw in “Make Up Your Own Holiday Day” too, just because it sounds fun. Yee-hah! Let’s get started. Your quest, should you choose to a…

Good, Craig. I especially liked your anti-Valentine’s Day expressions. I hate that day SO much, I have been known to wear a black armband that day. (Usually I just take the day off though so the pink crap doesn’t make me yog.) Thanks for being on the same wavelength.

David Auth, Bbigford, and Wynot: Good job.

We relived February SpiceQuest many times, but it is now safely in the past, where no one has to repeat it any longer.

If anyone has questions about badges, or if I missed anyone (I hope not), shoot me a private message.

…And, if you want another badge, be sure to visit the new SpiceQuest: March !
