Thanks everyone. 😃

P1 - so PCH is partly closed? There's fires in Sonoma wine country? Earthquakes in south Cali? All in all terrible time to be travelling to California?

JW Marriott LA Live

Love the W in SF. JW/Ritz LA Live is nice if you plan to stay around downtown. Otherwise, rec W on west side or SLS.

There is pretty much no Marriott or SPG in between San Jose and LA. Once you get to LA stay at the SLS or W Hollywood.

I usually stay in the Fairfield in Santa Maria when driving between SF and LA. Good half way point. I’m not there for the hotel experience - just need a clean room- but that’s quite a good Fairfield.

Remember that due to landslides earlier this year, the PCH is partly closed in Big Sur and will be probably well into 2018, so figure that detour in your plans if you’re trying to see Big Sur (which is still worth it if the weather is good even with that closure).

Andaz LA. In West Hollywood off the Sunset Strip. Rooftop pool is fire

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
