Definitely do not sweat rounding errors, Sophia! You can't be more precise than the timeclock. That drove me up a wall last time I was hourly, thinking about all the time that was wasted on making sure you clocked in and out at the right times to comply with whatever ridiculous directive was in play rather than, you know, working.

I think you are right plus it is exacerbated because my school is the only one that makes full time office employees punch. So my friend in Arts and Sciences who also moved to hourly can type in her hours each day. So while encouraged not to fudge things, if she typed 8:07-5:07, it would have recorded 7 hours, 50 minutes, not this nonsense! I think I am just not going to sweat 5 minutes either way.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Karl.

In addition to waking us up an hour before our alarm goes off, Mr. S decided to take off running as I was about to get in my car and drive to work. Had to wait for Gary to get dressed(he was in the shower) so he could get not-so-small boy into the house. Oy...

Still waiting to hear on the potentially good work thing. The wheels of university administration turn slowly.

I am so sorry to hear that Sophia’s time clock system was designed by Tino.

Just when you think Tino's been vanquished for good...

Tino was definitely handling JZ's oncology scheduling (three weeks after the CT scan).

Coding and Sleeping

Well, got the dryer to the basement, got the dryer installed (the vent ducting wasn't long enough so it required a bit of rigging and will have to be redone, but it'll last for awhile), ran to the pharmacy, walked the dogs, fed the dogs, cooked dinner, got the dishes going, replaced the furnace filter, and put out the garbage and recycling. I did have to work late, so I ended up pretty crunched for time.

Goodness, Gud. That is some serious getting shit done mojo. So glad you're liking MN.

Tino needs to stay right the fuck out of all of that.

A breakthrough! On my phone I can see the seconds on the time clock. We are discouraged from using our phones, but it works a lot better, I think.
