Sirotan posted:It was 28F when I left for work this morning, and I even had to scrape ice off my windshield. I wore a cardigan. Some of us are not polar bears.  (or seals  )(I grew up in Houston, so "cold" to me is anything south of 50F. Then again, "hot" for me isn't until north of like 95F, whereas there's loads of people around here that start acting like they're dying at like 80F.)

taremva posted:I hope it's a typo, because it looks like it's a 22hour shift, 4 days in a row for the grave shift position? I assume you start at midnight and leave at 10 AM, so ten hours a day, 4 days a week. I used to work a schedule basically identical to that (10-8).

Moey posted:Four 10s is the way to do it. My girlfriend is currently working that and I am insanely jealous. Yeah, if you're going to do overnights, 4/10 is really the way to go. It gives you a day or two to actually function at normal daylight hours before you have to go back to your 3rd shift sleep schedule.

Lum posted:Problem with that is I never remember to turn it back up again afterwards >.< No no, while the ringer is active, just press vol-down once. That mutes the ringer (but it keeps ringing on the caller's end) and IIRC doesn't modify your volume, either. Works fine on my Droid 4 (which last time I checked, is the same phone you use).

Webbeh posted:Because it looks good? I can never understand why IT folks dread the idea of dressing up. Style isn't a bad thing, guys. People dislike the idea of being forced into it, and to a lesser extent the idea of wearing attire unsuited for things like grubbing under peoples' desks or working inside of computer cases. I know I certainly would not want to have to wear nice slacks and a tie in previous jobs I've had, mostly because the former would get grungy constantly and the latter would try to kill me on the regular.

TWBalls posted:I have a working one sitting on my desk if you want it. I seem to recall that Lum likes them as well, so whomever wants it can have it (just pay shipping). If HalloKitty bails out, I wouldn't mind replacing mine with yours. I've actively been considering buying a used one to replace mine since the battery in mine isn't holding a charge anywhere near as well as it used to and I'm kinda skittish about replacing the battery myself.

Lum posted:Replacing the battery is pretty easy, you just need to undo two screws at the bottom right of the battery hidden under a little rubber cover, then force the thing out as its glued in place. The replacement battery kit comes with a replacement sticky sheet to put the new one in. Already tried twice, both replacements made my phone throw that "unrecognized battery" error. Made sure the contacts were tightened properly and all.

Thanks Ants posted:Sorry if the thread has moved on, but I thought working visas were only something that could be obtained if you've tried and failed to fill vacancies with US staff, which obviously isn't the case if you currently have US workers training up cheaper replacements? Or am I just being massively naive? Massively naive. That's technically correct but if you "can't fill the vacancies!" because you're asking for practically indentured servitude wages, well, you can't fill them so gimme those H1-Bs.

I thought we were above one-anecdote condemnation of an entire concept, but I guess not. Then again, your quip about "oh I could never fire incompetents" betrays your position more than anything else. Sorry that actually following a proper, documented, justified termination process is such a hardship.

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:There's also an inaccurate perception I've encountered where working from home is not considered "really working" when compared to being in the office. Like putting on pants and fighting through traffic somehow prove your worth in some intrinsic fashion. That's how our CEO feels (small business problems), and has basically said that he cares more about people being at their desk than their safety (like, during snow/icestorms or really bad rain, especially since I don't own a car). Yes, I know I need to (and am actively trying to)  .

skooma512 posted:I'm starting to bring my own lunch today. Im tired of spending 8 to 10 bucks a day on mediocre food. I invested $20 in one of Crock-Pot's lunch warmers. I can plug it in at my desk and warm up leftovers of whatever the girlfriend and I made the night before. It's nice being able to have stuff like beef stew, red beans and rice, etc. instead of yet more sandwiches or going out for food. It's lasted me like two years, to boot.

anthonypants posted:Believe it or not, it's a different guy! Hopefully your office has rigorous enough access control. I had a ticket once at a data center I worked at where a dude flew off the handle about like that, and then about 45 minutes later (bear in mind this is third shift, so it's like... 1:30 AM?) the front door access phone rings and first thing I hear is "hey you little fucker, it's $NAME from that ticket, you going to be a little bitch about things now?"Luckily our main entryway is a double door setup and the second door was access controlled - and the first doors can be remotely locked in a panic situation. Police got to find him futilely pounding against both sets of doors to get out one way or another. People get really mad about email for some reason (he was complaining about bouncebacks due to landing himself on Spamhaus CSS).
