What's your current headache?

Not a headache, but I’d like it to be the cause. Saw 70s Traynor mixer available locally with a hefty 200$ price and a mention about being unused for two decades. Went asking if cap job has been done it, the seller didn’t know what I’m asking and I responded with short education about power filter caps and told ”there’s no schematic available on web, thing needs to be traced, new parts and maintenance takes many hours so I’ll offer 30$”.

Wonder why I’ve gotten no response??? Should I message ”please contact me in month or two after you’ve fed up trying to sell it”?? :rolleyes:

How was Chinatown in London in 1980s?

I've only been there in the mid-2000's and then it was really really safe.

Living and dying
In Chinatown
Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
In Chinatown, you better look around
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
 
After about 7-8 years of being a manager, I finally decided to switch back to a non management position. I feel so relieved. The tech sector has gotten so much worse in the last couple years and managing really feels awful these days, at least where I work right now. So I guess this is one less headache for me! whew.
 
I'm running power simulations for a circuit that I designed at work and the simulation software is fighting me. The entire circuit is supposed to draw about 10W maximum according to all my calculations, but the simulation is showing 12000W. Our mechanical team is trying to figure out what they're going to do with the molten copper.

EDIT: had an another engineer come over and watch me set up the simulation to see what I was doing wrong, so naturally it's working fine now.

Same thing happened to me this summer. So many things I don't have to worry about now.

Also, our culture in tech companies seems to have gotten so much worse in the last few years--I used to enjoy the job before that.

I think workplace cuture is in decline every industry.

I was laid off last year from a director of sales role, reevaluated life choices and found a low level corporate sales job where I thought I could just be a number on a spreadsheet, hide in the corner and just do my job.

I was wrong. First corporate job, there are some cliches that ring true but a reorganization with layoffs Q2, 15-20% growth expectations for 2026 and as of last week partnering with AWS AI to essentially replace sales was a nice touch. The end goal is to have 3rd party companies sell our product so they can mark it up, rather than pay a sales commission.

That said, with yesterday's AWS meltdown, I feel safe for a while.

Yeah I used to really enjoy it and it was rewarded. Now, not so much on either front.
