I'll be getting paid to learn, take training courses on languages and stuff, and work on my portfolio.

Sounds great! I can see why it feels a bit weird and scary, but it also sounds like a great awesomeness multiplier.
Go you!

Oh no, I was always still going to get paid, I'm salary. It's just I got laid off the project, and was afraid of not getting another, and them just letting me go altogether. I thought there was a 30 day cut off, but I was informed of a previous employee who was on bench for over 6 months, so yeah. There was also hints I could do my homework too, since it's job related and counts towards my Think40 hours (mandatory extra training outside of work we have to do).

That's fantastic! I thought you were out of a job. I'm really happy to hear you're not.

[NeoTifa]

Me too, lol.

Somebody wrote "suck my balls mr garrison" on the whiteboard in a conference room and nobody noticed until the boss walked in and commented. I'm not in this particular meeting, but was just told about it, and now I'm dying laughing.

You get paid to study, who wouldn't enjoy that for a little while? Enjoy the time "off" and being away from Tattle bitch.




I am presently stepping through code that updates a list of conflicting barcodes... Just trying to understand the why some of these functions exist is enough to give pause!

Pushing ASI integration changes right now, let's see what I break!

[depricated]

looking into checking the authenticity of this watch. If it's the real deal, even broken I think it's worth more than I make in a year...

I've been researching different tells to identify it as fake and so far none of them show up. Not sure what kind of professional I need to find for this though.

it's a Patek Philippe

It upsets me that a watch can be worth more than I make in a year.....I just did some research and one of the watches I saw were up for 125.5k

[depricated]

Right? I feel the same.

But hey, if it's worth that much, I'll pay the $1000 to repair it, sell it, and buy a house...

[ybadragon]

Another house*

Hopefully not being bothered so I can study all day. I'm glad it's the weekend though, that's for sure!

Loading the official, real, live data into derpicorn. They now have three choices: (1) use it as-is, (2) don't use it at all, or (3) hire their own developer to add all the bells and whistles they've requested.

Working on a bug that I was assigned last night. Thinking about what type of windowing system I need to write to get our TUI refactored out the wazoo to be more responsive, and have a better overall UI.

So far I have written a drop-down menu for it and like that quite a bit. The problem is that things don't get properly erased when opening/closing the drop-down, and I don't like that (looks messy). I started on a hierarchical windowing system last night and got to the point where it would throw an error when I attempted to find the "Pane" (what I decided to call a named section of the screen that you can change). If I can figure that out I believe I will have a working windowing system. THen I will just need to implement a text input, and a password input and I will have the inputs necessary complete. After that I need a popup window, with options, "buttons" and to implement the rest of the TUI.

This is currently all curses and python.

I hope you've made use of the opportunity to yell "Curses! Foiled again!"

'Cause you know that's what I'd be doing.

Frustrated dealing with customers (internal customers even!) today. They set up a VM, and needed MySQL installed on it. They email me to let me know the VM is setup and to please install and setup the database. I reply asking them for the login information and they tell me they want it setup like their last VM. So, I respond AGAIN, telling them we can probably do that, but we need to have credentials to login to the VM in order to set it up. They reply by emailing someone else asking them to explain the mysql configuration to me...


TL;DR:

Q: "Hey, what is your favorite color?"
A: "So, I have a bowl in the kitchen sink"
