They tried making us come in one day a month so me and the other developers just wouldn’t work when we were in the office while we were “planning”. Then it became “we need the day before to plan what we’re going to talk about tomorrow” and “we take the day after an office visit to go over what we talked about”. So 3 days out of the month where nothing got done and it made enough of a difference the office days lasted maybe 3 or 4 months before they fizzled out
It’s been rough where I am. We’ve basically abandoned the living room and have all been cramming into one room with the AC on.
Even with the AC blasting in the living room it was 93 degrees fahrenheit inside
Out of the 8 cousins in my family the 2 of us that didn’t go to college are the only ones who own a house. I didn’t finish 10th grade and I’m looking at buying my second house and trying to figure out how to keep my current one to give to my mom.
My cousins are pretty cool (aside from a couple who are very spiteful) but my aunts and uncles act like I scammed them all for everything they had.
I used this service breifly a while ago. Not enough to say whether it’s good or not, but I remember it working just fine.
“To better assist you please describe the nature of your emergency… Let’s try this again. To better assist…”
I was gonna say I thought this had been the case forever. I don’t use this feature but I recall seeing it on pretty much every custom ROM I’ve used over the last few years.
I find that I’m pretty much useless after 4 hours. I usually do a 4 hour stretch during the day and then hop back on for another 2 hours when the kids are down and that seems to be the most productive for me.
This is how my job is. If something goes horribly wrong after hours we get a text, but if I’m not at home doing nothing already then it has to wait and I’ll get to it when I can, and that’s expected.
In exchange we get to sort of do what we want and leave early whenever. Yesterday I took off at lunch and went sledding with the family. I only ever use my PTO for actual vacations or days where I’ll be completely unavailable.
I personally love it, I would love on call pay too but that freedom to take my son sledding on a snow day without having to lose pay is incredible. There’s only ever been 1 emergency issue in the past 2 years that I’ve had to hop on after hours to take care of.
Fireworks are very illegal in my state.
My first Christmas living here when the fireworks we’re going off in the middle of the night I called the cops for the first time in my life. Turns out Joe used to be a cop in the next town over and all my neighbors already knew he was basically immune. I ended up getting a noise complaint because of my dogs, as the fireworks were still going off on the street behind me.
I for the life of me don’t even care about 4k. 1080p to me is as good as it gets, sometimes I watch shows in 720p and occasionally even 480p if it’s a significantly smaller file.
Every holiday with fireworks I have to stay up ridiculously late to keep the dogs calm and soothe my toddler back to sleep multiple times.
We had a crazy thunderstorm until about 11:30 that kept my son up extra late. I hate thunderstoms but thought at least there won’t be fireworks. 11:31 ole reliable firework Joe around the corner was out there doing his thing and it seems like he doesn’t plan on stopping soon.
Also firework Joe sets off a ridiculous amount of stuff at 12am on Christmas eve.
The chicken looks pretty cool too, like he’ll steal your wallet and your girl in between puffs before you even finish coughing.
To a lot of people that’s too much effort for “no reason”.
People care, but not enough to put any effort in whatsoever.
I unfortunately am in the middle of a huge renovation for a new house I just bought 3 week ago. I guess I’m fucking up big time but I’ve had to buy quite a bit of stuff this week. My dryer broke, dishwasher shit out, heater went kaputs, I needed some lumber to keep my porch from caving in.
At least the only new thing I bought was the dishwasher because the panel to get it working would’ve cost me $200 since it’s so old. Everything else has been fixed instead of replaced.
