My god--how do you attract
and
keep developers with initiative? We've just lost the third one in my two years here, and we're in the middle of a knowledge transfer session, and the remaining staff? Nothing. Flat. I keep telling them that if they don't have enough information to pick up where he left off on every single task, to ask him now, because he's leaving...
And nobody is speaking up for shit. At least the developer that's leaving understands that they don't, so he's going extra slow, but I'm not sure what reason the remaining developers have to not try and suck him dry of the knowledge he has...
Unrelatedly, how do you spell "the" "teh" every single time in a multi-paragraph ticket?
When I worked at an association there was one man who had been with them for 34 years.He'd held every position but CEO at one point or another. I guess that counted for something because when they went to lay him off they gave him 2 weeks notice he was "retiring".
Several other people had been there for 20+ years.
this was not a real bagel, I am clear on that. It was Einstein Bros., so at least not a fluffy mess like I might get down here.

ooooh, the delivery guy I've had a terrible crush on for about a year stopped by my office with a big box of computer parts. Before he left he said, "I love your shirt by the way."
It's my Run DMC tshirt. Which I at first I wasn't going to get because it's a small and I'm still not really confident about being smaller in size. I still sort of think I need to swim in my clothes to hide.
Anyway, I think I have like 15 years on the delivery guy. So I says to him I says, "No way! You're too young for Run DMC."
And he replies, "nuh uh, I grew up with them. They're the godfathers of it all."
And I was all, "word."
But in my head. I didn't say it out loud.
Kat, where does Noah take his swim lessons? We did Mommy and Me classes at Jim Herrick and were just going to take Shane there for individual lessons, but have heard mixed reviews.
GC, we take him to Water Whisperer (no really) [link] The 10-day intensive has been pretty wonderful for us. If you go, tell 'em I sent you.
Did we know there's a new Shibu Inu puppy cam? They're brand-new.

Feh, my office blocks Ustream. No puppies for me!
