Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay, Geneva! I am envious of foreign jobs. Which is more than silly, but there you go. Foreign jobs you don't have to move for--even better!
My work laptop is being weird. Starting Windows was taking so long I fired up Task Manager and started Opera, and that's all I have. No task bar, no email, no desktop. Just a brand new Opera session.
I guess it's time for reboot. And not just the random blue screen kind.
The whispering thing gives me the same feeling as nails on a chalk board, swinging too high on a swing, and pencil wood scraping the paper. Just a weird nauseseated shudder that I can feel in my belly as well.
No task bar, no email, no desktop. Just a brand new Opera session.
So...sort of like a Chromebook.
This will be easy compared to the last job, I think. No more 8 week trips!
It sounds like a win all-around then! Fantastic!
Hooray for the job in Geneva! That you don't have to move for!
Aw, baby squirrel got a good home.
So...sort of like a Chromebook.
And about exactly as useful, I'd imagine. At least for work.
Fuck you, Windows. At least sometimes it crashes in front of my face, so I don't feel like I'm going crazy, all by myself. I'm clearly being driven thus.
Would Matilda like a taxidermied squirrel? I hear the Blogess could help her out.
Geneva sounds awesome!
YAY GenevaJob!
TOLD YOU.
Yesterday I suggested we take certain steps to determine the root cause for a problem, and I got shut down. I asked the incident manager how to deal with the request for the root cause since "we" had decided not to investigate any more, and he told me to not even mention root cause, just talk about our workaround.
Well, I just pulled over the coals on an IT-wide meeting on the root cause, including by my boss, BECAUSE THAT DECISION WAS ILL-CONSIDERED. I don't get to throw my manager under the bus, I just get to look stupid. Thanks, guys! That was in no way entirely predictable. At least the incident manager agrees that's what I said would happen. Doesn't make me feel better about it happening, though.
