Some photos from Yoshitaka Amano's exhibition in Dallas, Texas.

Inspired by the poster from Brazil, there is actually another Amano exhibition taking place in Dallas, TX. This is at The Warehouse a little north of the city center. My jaw dropped when I saw the huge oil canvas, it must have been at least 50 feet long. The docent said it was a piece called "New York Nights" from 1997. Amano painted it for his first US show and it has been in storage ever since. His paintings have a lot of color and texture that books or JPEGs simply can't capture. The show is running until July, if you're in the area definitely check it out.

Lost my sysadmin, now I'm solo. Could use some advice

Long story short - Small business of <200 users. My boss / IT manager was let go back in December. We have a SQL guy / Python developer, and we have a MSP who manages the firewall and on-prem AD server patching. I now report directly to the VP of HR/IT as a "help desk II".

In January after he left, I asked for better pay and my manager's old office. I was denied on both requests. The office remains empty to this day.

Since my boss left, I now have access to our entire Entra P2 tenant and can activate Global admin for myself whenever I need it (which is rarely). I issue HID cards for the front door, provision camera access, and approve various IT related bills (Spectrum, Adobe, 365 services). We are in the middle of changing ERPs, and I am in the calls with the consultants and various department heads.

Essentially, I am wondering how to leverage my situation in order to find a better position. While the work environment is good, the pay is low even after the raise (10% to $25/hr). I feel like I'm learning bad/outdated habits. There is no Intune set up, laptops are domain-joined and all apps installed by hand. There are no Azure/cloud resources, although there is a PowerBI workspace which looks at our local SQL server VM.

I've been at this company for two and a half years, already have my bachelor's degree but no certs. Appreciate any perspectives on this!
