No work can be done, shut her down. Go play games or drink good whiskey.
I'm probably gonna faff about on an internet forum and drink coffee till it becomes an appropriate time frame to go out and pick up stuff for the halloween party i'm going to tomorrow night.
Public correction over this shit. Look, did you understand me? Then let's keep going. We don't need to stand here and pat you on the back for knowing the "correct" way to say a word.
I have dimmer view of pedants, than those who say irregardless. Neither are very bright, but at least the person saying irregardless doesn't feel the need to make me feel stupid.
People who stop a conversation to correct someone else's grammar, pronunciation, or use of a word which everyone understood are assholes. Plain and simple.
This view is why it is so difficult to get people to help with conversational Language development.
I don’t really have any feelings about that, just noting that people trying to avoid being assholes by correcting my language makes it a bit more difficult to learn quickly.
So, okay, reading this I realize I should have specified that I meant people interrupting with corrections that were unsolicited. If you're trying to work on a language I think it's great to say "hey please correct me when I trip up on something," but that's a pretty specific situation and not what I had in mind.
You're totally okay, man, it just got me thinking that this is the reason getting people to help out is such a struggle. They really don't want to come off like grammar dicks.
It definitely feels bad to get somebody who goes "hey, uh, that's not how we say that" and you go "Whaaaaaaat I've been saying it that way for literally 10 years, nooooooooooooooooo".
Since my company does a lot of insurance defense, I saw an accident on my way home from work yesterday and thought "Huh, I wonder if we'll represent the insured in that."

Proof that the law firm hasn't taken you over yet since you didn't get out and give them a card.

I had one of those bad start mornings today. Woke up late, stuck behind a school bus, stuck at a train, every red light was red.
I was still only 8 minutes late though, which is OK, work gives us a 10 minute window as long as we make up the time, but man I like getting here 5-10 minutes early.
I've never understood the "you'll make up those 10 minutes!" mentality some employers have.
Like, what will be accomplished in those 10 minutes at the end of the day when you wanted to leave 10 minutes ago?
We could all be working 6 hour shifts and no productivity would be lost.
I suspect if we ratcheted down on pointless meetings and other time wasting things, we could get that down to 2-4 depending on the industry.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

It might be a shift we see eventually but I imagine it's decades away. It'll be like the struggle regarding telework -- managers who don't trust employees to work from home are the same managers who believe an ass needs to be in a chair from 9 - 5, regardless of what the owner of the ass is actually doing.

Was all jazzed for Friday and then I remembered that it's my Saturday to work this weekend.
Balls.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

The one time I was remote I got met with a lot of hostility from workers who weren't remote (and the managers started feeling the brunt of it because it wasn't "fair") and they were skeptical I was actually doing work because a lot of my work isn't actually producing widgets.
My favorite are the meetings I get called down to his office for that I had 0 time to prepare for and I basically get tossed into the tank with the sharks trying to make heads or tails of what my boss even wants from these people. One time he wanted to move his faxes to be all digital but didn't realize there's a lot of HIPAA stuff that needs to be taken care of for that, so the phone company was trying to sell him on there non-HIPAA fax stuff before I got there. Of course I didn't know that until 15 minutes in because he was still talking about a new phone system with them and haggling on the price.

I had an interview today! I think it went really well. I had an edge because I met a few people from the company at a conference earlier this week, so I had a bit of an inside scoop plus instant rapport with the interviewers from namedropping
Got an actually current spec file for this meaningful use extract I'm working on and it makes a billion times more sense than the old one.
They were trying to cram 3 loosely related concepts that all had many to many relationships into one file, with only a couple, barely defined fields, and no way to distinguish different instances of the same thing.
Now it's all split out with sequence numbers and dates and sanity.

I’m actually kinda of thankful for our Friday afternoon manager meetings if only because my will to work is always entirely sapped by lunch, and at least the meetings just require me to sit and listen.
Clean running water is the greatest miracle convenience that the modern world has to offer the humans that live in it so yeah going without suddenly is upsetting.
Meaningful use might as well have just been named "this is all pretty meaningless" as far as a specification and certification is concerned.
From the few I've had to deal with, pretty sure the first iteration of MU data specs any entity puts out are from them asking a clinical person what they'd like to see without then having a database person give it pass to see if it makes sense for EHRs.
My department dropped the ball on a group halloween costume so I'm falling back on my Ghostbuster costume because damn it it was expensive to put together
Did not get the job. Did get some advice on what to work on next time, because as I thought my performance during the interview was weak on questions that didn't ask direct knowledge. At least those I crushed but still, not a great capper to this week.
Now I sit at the doctor's office waiting to discuss depression and have bloodwork done after, so I haven't eaten since last night. I am unhappy.

Yeah no most people are just annoyed by it right now but it's also one of those things that is basically "we are so close to completely lacking the trappings of civilization" thing
And this was caused, literally, by just too much rain in a single week. It rained so hard over the last week or two that there was too much water for the treatment plant to go through, especially with how much contained runoff

Jackknifed semi on 405 just after i90 interchange, in addition to the other accidents before it, and the later one on i90 west.

Not terribly surprised, but this is like mild inconvenience levels at best. I’m sure they’d explode if you couldn’t bathe in it.

I personally can’t wait for the USB drive scavenger hunt portion.
This seems.. counter productive.
Is the prize a remedial session on security practices?

Anyone got suggestions on how I can dress as regret?

Dress as a Taco bell employee if you want to represent regret!
Or a toilet.
Dress as that employee who had his picture taken while licking a stack of tacos.
I'm a frogrammer, and in my office I have a painting that my mom made for me with a Douglas Adams quote. It goes...
It was RIGHT behind me the other day at work when I did a video teleconference with a 3rd party and a couple of our customers.
OOPSIE FECKIN' DAISY.
The regret is supposed to be from eating Taco Bell, not from working there.
I don't want to perpetuate an attitude that anyone who works at a fast food place is undeserving of respect.
