Above the right eyebrow? Tension headaches can occur there. That's where my constant headache is, and the VA can't decide if it's a tension headache or TBI.

Could also be a lack-of-sleep induced headache.... coffee isn't helping much at this point. I think I may take a nap when I get home.

Mentally twiddling my thumbs and trying to entertain elaborate plans on how I can bounce out early and go to the gym or just not be here... in the mean time I wonder if I look silly to the field managers that are wandering around as I bounce around to 'Just like Heaven' and tinker on an odd comment system I sketched out over lunch a few weeks ago.

Contemplating the rapid development of restroom facilities - considering the following:
1). 2 Shitters
2). Never available for use because we have a 100:2 ratio here and for some reason everyone needs to shit at the same time.
3). Ability to work remotely is no longer and option so a trip to the local starbucks is out of the question.

Assume 10 minutes per visit.
If everyone visits once per day, that's 500 minutes per crapper.

8 hour day means 480 minutes in the working day. You're fucked by 20 minutes per can.

That would make the greatest middle school math word problem ever.

Can we get a Caffeine Lounge coding challenge going to model this?

[BenignDesign]

I like the idea. Might have to look into that.

[ishkabible]

given a number of crappers and a set of N people's shit taking time, write a function to compute how many minutes Nykc is fucked by on average. you may assume that this value will always be greater than 0.

or for more challenge...

given a number of crappers and a set of people's shit taking schedule, compute the optimal eating schedule for Nykc assuming that he must eat 2000 calories a day, it takes 4 hours for food to digest, and he must take a shit after 2000 calories have been digested.

Write a simulation that displays the queuing behavior of NYKC's co-workers throughout the workday, with reasonable assumptions about distribution of need-to-crap (normal distribution, or loaded to favor a post-break shit, or hack into NYKC's workplace and use actual schedule data from Outlook calendars). You may assume that anyone still in line to crap at 5:00 goes home annoyed.
For added reasonableness, discard my assumption that each episode of pooping takes ten minutes, and use a normal distribution around some reasonable value. Don't get caught hanging around in the company restroom with a stopwatch.

Extra points for animated behaviors displaying frustration as time in queue increases - fidgeting, tapping feet, steam from ears, crapping in potted plant are some examples.

I am enjoying the assumption that everyone in the office pencils their daily restroom use directly into Outlook.

Not exactly what I was thinking... I was thinking more along the lines of "when you're in a meeting, you're not pooping*"

"* unless something has gone terribly wrong"

[Nykc]

Time tracking. If it's not on the Outlook Calendar, it better be logged in Version One

Another item to factor into the equation is the food type consumed for the day. Indian Buffet is almost always out of the question, as with Mexican 85% of the time. Choices are left to Asian Buffet, Burgers and Fries or the ever so popular and healthy pizza!

Bagged lunch?

I am working on scramble with friends since there were audits going on and projects were put on hold until the audits are over......
