Yeah, I don't chat for fun either. But it's a useful phone substitute at work, and since you can record for faulty memories.
I am over the moon at how poorly thought out this project is from a technical point of view. It's stunning. I know I asked them months ago if we needed new stuff from the DBAs, and everyone told me no, definitely not, ita ! Don't be silly.
We're so fucked. We're up against the wall in two projects--one with insufficient hard drive storage, and one with no database environment.
And it's my fault, somehow. Despite HAVING ASKED and being told one thing, that's the load the project manager assumes. I am not looking forward to facing management today.
Like, seriously, making sure the destination has enough drive space for the files you're copying--I was sliding along assuming that's the sort of thing you check before you ask someone else to copy for you. No, which is why I was on the phone at 3AM Sunday morning.
I'm at the point of (rudely) asking "So, if you had the database, what would you do now? And after that? And then? And then?" because she doesn't seem to grasp the idea of not being blindsided at the last possible moment.
I'm tired of this. It's been a horrible week.

speaking of insurance. I have been disconnected twice by mine on the phone this morning. I am trying to get an answer on why mac's hospital stay from the beginning of May has not been processed. Also want verification that I have met my deductible for mac & I for the year,
That hospital stay is thousands of dollars on my credit card.
I am not even sure I will be able to deal with any conservative crap about this decision on fb.
government owns our bodies
?!?! really? making people have insurance means they own our bodies, but forcing women to carry all pregancies to term, that is freedom and liberty for all.

no shit. I cannot deal.
We have chat at work and we pretty much use it for personal stuff. Lunch dates, cat video links.... It does keep it out of email.
We're explicitly not supposed to do that. We were told that they get we would a little, but do you want that to be the chat that the CIO reads?

Yeah, I kinda' wanted to say to them, "So now you know what it's like, fuckface."
Except they really don't. They're just pretending.
The only time I initiate chat at work is when I want to bitch about something with my boss, which makes the lack of archiving an awesome feature.
When it is not so great a feature is when you have two technical analysts start the same day and one of them asks during training if using chat is okay but then the other one pings you about getting a book from Stanford and you assume it was the first one, since he asked about chat, and you can't go back and look to see who asked, so then you look like an idiot when you try to give the book to the wrong person.
Not that I've ever done that, of course.
I have an actual one of those "moving to Canada" people on my Facebook feed. We went to H.S. together.
It's entertaining, in a way.
