    To be serious for a moment the admin here wanted to start a social media initiative.

    They were going to just ask one of their mid levels to do the job of posting stuff once and a while to Facebook.

    "Yeah, that's a lot more work and trouble than you think it is." was my response. Killed that dead for now.

    I always love when companies go to a seminar where they talk about how to reach Millennials and they come back with that shit.

    No, it is a good idea, don't get me wrong, but you have to hire someone specifically for that. Someone who will not turn you into the next Amy's Baking Company.

    Yep. One of the things was "I see other companies out there and they are putting up anniversary days and awards for employee participation"

    Yeah. so you basically want to take a mid level and ask them to do a decent amount of work a week for free. If you go through with that I am not touching it with a 10 foot pole.

    I vaguely suggest the shape of the first letter of my first name, add some scribbles and then an artists interpretation of the last letter.

    Repeat for the last name.

    ha, just helped a coworker troubleshoot his powershell command

    I saw this syntax where it was like
    {label=”PropertyName”;expression={$_.property}}
    

    and I'm like ok I know about calculated properties but what in the lords fuck is this

    then I saw it

    fuckin html entities

    this is why you don't blind copy/paste code off of the internet

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    Pedantry: "Gin" is a shortening/corruption of older "genever", with a soft g due to derivation from the Dutch "jenever". As such, it's really a special case that can't be used as evidence in the g-wars either way.

    like I posted earlier, the hard G is for, mostly, germanic words

    initialisms/acronyms are not germanic words

    Powershell (begrudgingly, because I use it at work, an I'm an old Perl hacker)
    vim (I've actually never used emacs, though. Did have to use ed once, though.)
    Hard G (Literally and figuratively, *wink*)
    IPv4 (but yes IPv6 is probably needed)
