Maybe with your tiny ant dick it is.

In more on-topic if repetitive content Cpt Leaksmith is still leaning on me to do his thinking for him, even as I'm filling out exit surveys and handing over credentials. I can hear the disappointment in his new team lead's voice when he talks about what he's done that day.

I usually get to work early for various reasons, avoiding traffic mainly.
Today I got in about a hour early, had a nice morning walk, screwing around online, normal stuff.

I really need to take what feels like a enormas poo poo.
I'm holding on bravely, only 15 more minutes until my start time and then I'll go.

But do you put your bowel movements in your calendar as an appointment? Because I have 2 daily meetings and I have a pre meeting bowel movement ritual and I'm seriously considering putting them in my calendar to keep the time free.

I have a meeting my calendar twice a week where I sit in one of the massage chairs for 30 minutes named "physical audit".

I am down to maybe 3 hours of actual work a day now. I want to feel like I am getting lazy but the reality is that I am just getting more efficient.

Yeah baby. I stopped working at times when I could feel I wasn't making progress and cut my hours down to 10-16:30, didn't affect my productivity because that's the whole point.

I've never taken more than a weekend off for a job change, even when I moved cities. I always say I will next time, but it never happens. I don't know what having a week or two to myself would even be like.

My last job change, I intentionally gave myself almost 3 weeks between. It felt really, really good too, especially after the 5 years of MSP hell I dealt with. Helped that I had a ton of banked PTO they were forced to pay out, close to a month because of all the hours we worked.

Jerk McJerkface posted:

The client from that weekend actually called me to yell at me a few weeks later. Demanding I work for them instead of whatever my new job was. He was extremely rude and aggressive and even threatened me. I kept him on the phone because it was really entertaining.

I had similar with the same MSP mentioned above - a couple clients I worked with directly offered me jobs, too bad they were offering less than I made at the MSP already. New job was almost a 30% pay increase and part of the upside was never having to deal with these stupid, careless, needy clients ever again.

I had about a week of PTO I lost since the employer doesn't pay it out, which sucked. I had a lot more sick time banked that I just lost as well. I'm not sure if it's common to get that paid out or not.

lol I'm pretty sure vacation PTO is required by law to be paid out. If they classified your vacation as "personal days" then probably not. I've never heard of sick days being paid out.

PTO day payout requirements vary by state, I think. I know Sickening said he only got paid out 2 days because his last company was angry with him for leaving.

E: Lol, second gifted av in a month.

If a critical application stops working due to Meltdown/Spectre Windows updates who should I be more pissed off at, Microsoft, Intel, or the developer?

I hope I can find a workaround because students have full admin access on these laptops because it's required for the same application.

E: it went unnoticed until now because the bug only affects a component used for connecting to certain PLC hardware.

What PLC hardware (and software) is this? (I'm not asking for shits and giggles either, I'm an automation engineer :eng99: )

Wonderware, specifically the DASMBSerial and DASABCIP components of DAServer. Dunno what PLC they're using it with right now.

I just tracked down a notice from the vendor that describes the problem: https://softwaresupportsp.schneider-electric.com/Pages/OKMArticle.aspx?docId=TA287
You'll need an account to view it. The revised patches released this month don't have the same issue. I just fixed it on one of our machines by manually uninstalling the January update, then installing the revised version. Easier fix than I was fearing.

At my last job, big office building, I found that my pass let me into a entire unused and mostly stripped floor.
It was glorious.

Even through the lights didn't work and I needed to take my own paper it had a still working bathroom. And even better a shower that I'd use now and then on a nightshift.
Why was it such a big thing?

We had four stalls in a office of about 300 people. Cleaned about once a day.
In a callcenter.
With angry staff. One guy literally wrote the company name in poo poo on a wall.
With (and I'll sound racist) a lot of Indian and Asian staff, so poo poo on the floor and seat were common things.

After my pass stopped working up there I went back to sneaking into the women's bathroom. Had a few close calls there but was never caught.
