I graduated from high school in '08 and was from a relatively well off district (thanks second home owners!) so I feel like for my school size (My class was 55 students) we had nice things.
The pizza was made with a frozen crust, a big bag of shredded cheese, and some bulk sliced pepperoni. Slightly above most frozen pizzas, generally.
Got out of a company meeting over the subject of the season opening up. We have buses not built for driving on the right side of the road, the company whose monopoly we broke in another city is moving to DC, and I'm pretty sure I heard the GM say we don't need a union.
On the plus side I talked with the head of tour guides about switching from sales to guiding. I can probably start training after the cherry blossom festival finishes.
Justify why your project should get a 300,000 Euro grant, in 700 words. Well it's something of a challenge, but I accep- oh wait, I misread that. 700 characters?????

Today at the zoo I tried to teach a 79-year-old fellow volunteer how to play videos from a usb stick. At one point she asked how to get out of one video and play another. I said "press 'back'". She turned the remote over and looked at the back of it.

Oh Oracle. I think I'd rather wail myself in the balls with a bat than deal with Oracle, especially Oracle consultants.
The one silver lining - calling them during a deployment at 1 AM because what they said would work didn't work and they have to come up with an answer on the spot.
Consultants just vary though. I worked with a ridiculously good consulting firm during an implementation last year.

I think these guys are on the ball, even if they aren't following the Oracle documentation and thus making it hard for me to follow along. I think one of them is just exasperated with questions and life and all sorts of other things.

It's very similar to the last job I had before I left Australia
in that job I did packaging, product design and promotional design for an importer and wholesaler specializing in homeware and dinnerware.
This job I'm doing basically the same thing, only less packaging and more promotional, and the importer and wholesaler specializes in smoking accessories
And I've just been notified of a conference call this afternoon with the head of our North American offices and the account manager about the client I'm in Seattle to support.
This does not have a good feeling to me. Return to LA imminent?
Today I was accused of tracking and reading idiot sons texts and emails
Today my boss and I met with the president of the biz consultant firm we work with to discuss plans for my transition and to get my boss's blessing on it.

Oh jeez man I hope that goes smoothly. Nepotism never ends well when it's arrayed against you.
Mostly he was freaking out over some misinformation a dumb guy told him about the mobile device management software I have on all company phones. I unenrolled his phone from and that was good enough.

Gave him read-only access to the MDM portal and he can look at them all he wants.

Conference call went ok.
Basically account rep and US head both apologized for the lack of work, and there's going to be another call tomorrow to discuss the client with the national team. And I am getting volunteered to do everyone else's billing, confirmations, and/or work.

Who wants to come to Disneyland with me?
I should make a thread. But I want to have lunch first.

This means the office gets to listen to Manowar.

I'll be right over. I have some fucking opinions.
And if we are all not brothers of metal, would we fall?
Good job getting up every day and taking a big steaming dump in the Reaper's Cheerios, Stale.
I further wonder what we are paying for when they won't answer straight questions of "what do you recommend?"
I have this strong suspicion that I'm just going to have to be quiet, smile, clench my butt and hang on for the ride on this one.

ui engineer manager is willing to do a 'part-time' trial run with me if i can figure it all out with my boss and hr.
if i do well/am a good fit, then i get the holy grail of a telecommute dev job.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
My replacement is all set, and I'm sure it'll take a solid week or two before my boss realizes how badly he's shit the bed.

Can we call him the bonglord? I'd really like to.

They do, but it's a less fun process to make the required modifications.

Sorry I'm not sorry.

I'm oscillating between thrilled and terrified and impatient.
