Send me your billables, this is awesome
OMG you’re right - the fact that this is a lot of for a part time job wasn’t lost on me, but a NON-COMPETE for a part-time job?? Like WTF else are you supposed to do?
Delusional??
No, no, people will give up if it’s just one. You need to do two chests, marked #1 and #3. Film a #2 being buried also, but dig it up immediately.
In another life, I attended a large geology conference and went to a session with talks about this. They had two speakers back to back, one boiled down to “it was the asteroid” and the other “it wasn’t the asteroid”.
Not only did the speakers get heated in each other’s question sections, the whole ROOM felt like it was about to get into a fistfight - everyone basically taking over each other to the person to their left, right, front, back. Extremely hostile!
I can’t remember the evidence but I do distinctly remember thinking that it wasn’t my subject matter and I should probably avoid forming an opinion on it for my physical safety in my career.
Now I’m free to offend paleontologists both professionally and unprofessionally and I can’t remember how to :'(
Sent a relatively new and somewhat nervous co-worker a “grandpasimpsonleave.gif” responding to the 8 billionth mutual emergency of the day followed immediately by “I kid, I kid, we’ll fix it! 😉 [Relevant follow up question]?”
Guess which of those two messages was the last one unaffected by the outage? Yep. I got to watch her devolve into a panic as her messages reached me and my responses didn’t get sent to her, and THEN delivered in the worst order/selection possible. Felt like the more critical the message, the less likely to send.
And! She’s on the other side of the continent and all her location’s phones are through teams also! And it was time sensitive.
Rough Friday.
Also they were HORRIFICALLY unreliable, to the point where my mechanic’s actual quote was “Folks, I’m not in the habit of talking myself out of a $10,000 paycheck, but this car is not worth it.” 30 minutes before we walked in his door it was working fine, by the time he went to drive it to the bay it wouldn’t start, and never did again.
It wasn’t even paid off yet.
To say nothing of the fact that one had to drop the engine to get to the alternator, the electrical blew itself out twice in the 4 years we owned it, very few of the features worked with any competence, and we just got our 3rd or 4th safety recall for it (or whatever is left of the parts at the scrapyard).
Consumer Reports rated its reliability as a six - not out of ten, but out of ONE HUNDRED.
Absolute lemons.
needing to ask people what 3rd party chat service they prefer
Yeah Signal’s great and all, but my spouse’s family refuses to use anything but WhatsApp, half my family uses FB Messenger while the other half use Discord (and they are feuding about it), the older folks in my hobby group refuse to learn anything but the default text on their phone (that group chat is an unmanageable NIGHTMARE), and anything from work uses teams…except the US folks who use slack, and now my friends want to get me on Signal, too? Relevant XKCD.
The solution to my problem is not yet another messaging app. I just want ONE inbox!
I’ve been pretty happy with Beeper so far. There are some features that aren’t quite as good as using each app natively, yet, but I think they’re off to a great start considering the sheer scale and variety of interfaces they’re working with. It even gives me tools to deal with the hobby chat anarchy, and now I can send default SMS messages from my computer!
I know! That was the most disrespectful part!!
Many of your points are good, but 4 is pretty weak. I have left my personal laptop for 20 minutes to come back and find that the cat has put me into airplane mode, opened a hexadecimal calculator I didn’t know I had, written a complain to Microsoft that only didn’t send because of airplane mode (error popup and all), opened my family recipes, edited my family recipes to include actual text-symbol emojis among other garbage, and recorded the whole thing as a… Gamer Clip???
She does this routinely.
I disable my work laptop keyboard before I even LOOK away from it, I don’t want to find out how much damage she could push to production.
Parent company doesn’t want ANYONE to have direct read access to the database - only the scant few heavily formatted reports the user-facing software will allow. Data analysis still needs to get done though, so…
Yeah. PQ -> Data Model saves my ass and my co-workers think I’m a wizard.
That, and learning how to quietly exploit minor vulnerabilities in the software to get raw tables I “shouldn’t” have and telling not one soul has been a winning combo!
How did one look up bad words before the internet? Is “fuck” in the dictionary or like what?? Would librarians share such knowledge??
