      Watching some classic Tom and Jerry with the kids.

      Mine is currently playing with toys. He wants to be a youtube star... and he's 8, lol. I heard him recording on his tablet the other day. He started off "Hello guys, today we are going to..." and then he started recording his action figures playing some sort of tag-like game. It was hillarious.

      just got finished with a meeting.
      apparently they are going to push back my review until June now, because of what happened the other night.
      And I just bought a smart watch to make sure I wake up for the calls if/when they come in over night.
      Hoping it'll help.

      Yeah screw this place, because you missed one call, they are delaying your review. Get outta this place like it's a one night stand!

      After ignoring his multiple requests for review for 6 months... almost seems like they were waiting for him to mess up. Such bullshit.

      I agree,
      EditBosses boss said "what happened that you missed the call? .......
      I know you want to make more money, but you leave everyday early to pick up your son and it causes issues some nights... we cant keep having you do that......
      let's table this discussion until we hit June after you're sons out of school and we can go from there."

      Brush your resume off and start job hunting. Family comes first.

      Nothing so fancy for me today. Just a hamburger & fries.

      Frozen burrito from the Gas station and bag of chips here... That looks good though.

      Discussing AlohaPOS at MangoCon.

      OH fun!
      what'cha discussing exactly?

      Comparing POS systems used in the area.

      Wondering how I'm every going to catch up here after being mostly absent since Sunday, and going to be busier than a 1 arm man going bankrupt at a casino through this weekend.

      Busier than a one legged waitress at IHOP?

      Anyone else in Eastern US having Internet issues? Seems we are ok in Buffalo, NY but some of our sites are having sporatic connection issues; can't get to websites, VPN tunnels dropping, etc. My guess would be a peering issue between Spectrum and Verizon but can't prove it yet and can't get to DownDetector from either of my connections to verify

      Windstream was having issues in the Perry Ohio area over the weekend. Don't ask how I know 🙄

      I deliberately omitted Windstream. My fingers catch fire when I type it.
      OUCH! See?

      Entire networks vanish any time I type it.

      @srsmith But I'm spoiled though, performance can't be as good as windows right? I could just imagine the frame rate drops and stuttering now...
      Am I too picky? Haha

      Actually, I played WoW using PlayOnLinux for a little bit during Cataclysm. WoW actually ran better on Linux than it did in Windows. I seriously need to get off my Lazy butt and get my laptop back on Linux again.

      Trying to get work done, but have the attention span of a flea today... I think being involved in a meeting and 2 interviews sucked it all up.

      "gotta focus, gotta focus, gotta focus oh look shiny"

      Pretty much. I call it ADOS... Attention Deficit Ooohhh Shiny!

      Plant-based diet can fight climate change - UN

      Switching to a plant-based diet can help fight climate change, UN experts have said.
      A major report on land use and climate change says the West's high consumption of meat and dairy produce is fuelling global warming.
      But scientists and officials stopped short of explicitly calling on everyone to become vegan or vegetarian.
      They said that more people could be fed using less land if individuals cut down on eating meat.
      The document, prepared by 107 scientists for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says that if land is used more effectively, it can store more of the carbon emitted by humans.

      Interesting - this is the second time I've seen/heard something like this. I have a friend who became a vegetarian only because of this reasoning - not that he doesn't believe in eating meat.. but because of the environmental impact of raising meat for consumption.

      It is all about the cow farts

      Exactly. We need to eat more cows so there are less cow farts.

      Just got my first bad review in my year and a half of employment.
      So there's that.

      apparently I broke stuff and no one told me; so I couldn't fix it.
      I've been their only point of contact since they open and refused to talk to somebody else; and some small shit about "not being knowledgeable"
      I've told them I'm not their contact and they need to use the help desk because I'm not always available .

      Who did the review? I bet it was your direct supervisor, wasn't it?

      no review has been done; just a negative customer review from previous work done with this site as I was buried in projects, calls, and other emergency issues.

      Ah. Ah well. You have a valid excuse. Take it on the nose and continue working slave ^W^W job hunting.

      yeah, and i've told this customer I am not your only contact.
      Will not be your only contact, it's not happening like that.

      But I'm the bad guy cause "he has to fix the stuff I do"
      Which, they didn't call me.

      No call... no ticket... no problem!

      I don't get flu shot because I'm scared shitless of needles.

      I'm probably being an idiot too, but I swear the only time I get the flu is when I get the flu shot. Most likely it's coincidence... but I still skip them now. I've gotten 2 flu shots in my adult life. First, the year my wife got pregnant with our first kid, and I got the flu that year. Second, when our second kid was born, also got the flu that year. The only 2 times in my adult life that I got it, were when I had the shots. Go figure.

      I know folks from both campus: Those who swear by the flu shot, and those who swear they get the flu every time they get the shot. I've never had a flu shot, so I'm not sure which camp I fall into.

      My body is able to fight it off in a few days, so I'm good. If I get to where I have trouble getting over it, then I'll probably consider it more. I didn't even get the flu this year (knocks on wood), so I'll be one of those idiots too, until my body tells me different.

      So I helped my mother-in-law move today. This is a real thing that happened:

      Pam: Hi I'm Pam. This is Ian and this is Laura. You can call us PIL (pronounced Pill)

      <Ian and Laura die inside>

      Movers: uh....ok

      Mover #1: Hi I'm Andy

      Pam: HI Andy. I'm, Pam. This is Ian and this is Laura.

      Mover #2: Hi I'm Brian

      Pam: Hi Brian. I'm Pam. This is Ian and this is Laura

      8 hours of this behavior today. 8.

      I am completely fucking dead inside. Going into a Zzzquil catatonic state that I hope I never wake up from. Hope your weekend is better than mine boys

      Hi, PIL. I'm Darryl, this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl.

      My family has spent the better part of December until today afflicted by covid. My son and I got over it in a couple of days except for the coughing. Wifey ran a low grade fever for nearly two weeks. About the last week into it, she had some awful headaches -- bad enough to keep her bed bound for most of the day. It was pretty rough for her, but not so bad for me and the kiddo. This has (thankfully) been one of the calmest Christmases in recent memory, lol.

      Had one coffee this morning.
      Results are inconclusive, require a second cup.

      I recommend pouring coffee in you until you can hear the sunshine and/or thread a sewing machine's needle while it is running.
