Our pharmacy actually doesn't have any room to support small talk. There's this big sign that says "GIVE PEOPLE PRIVACY WHEN THEY GET THEIR STUFFS HOLY SMOKES", though not actually in those words but consequent to that there's also no seats or anything to properly schmooze in while waiting for the counter to clear up.

Sterno

No one wants to be sued under HIPAA

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I wish it did use those words.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Which makes sense, because it is somewhat personal.

@Sterno Us Canadians aren't subject to HIPAA.

user15026

Ah, this place has chairs and stuff and is like "sit down and relax" so. It's confusing. I don't wanna talk at all and one woman had the nerve to ask me what I was waiting for and I was like uh what why are you even

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Pretend you're mute.

fbueckert

19:02

@AshleyNunn Go away, crazy lady! I'm warning you! I have mace!

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I think the exact words are rather along the lines of "Please respect people's privacy and wait here for the next available attendant", where here is 20 feet away from the pharmacy.

GnomeSlice

Point at your mouth and shake your head

Sterno

@AshleyNunn Tell her you have scabies. That'll shut her up.

<- had scabies. It sucked.

Michel

I hate when I receive the blame...

Grace Note

I'm not sure what scabies are so the first thing I got to mind was a horrific hybrid of rabies and scoliosis.

fbueckert

19:03

@Michel Welcome to being a scapegoat.

It will happen throughout life.

Sterno

@GraceNote Yes. It has a terribly awful name.

user15026

@sterno even the word scabies sounds terrible.

Grace Note

Well, it's his own fault for being a scapegoat.

Sterno

It sounds severely infectious and disgusting. And, it is!

It also sounds like a disease, though, and it's not. It's little skin mites that burrow in and leave poop and eggs under your skin.

WHICH IS EVEN WORSE

user15026

Oh my god

Grace Note

19:05

Oooh, that kind of thing.

user15026

Now my skin feels super crawly

5pike

@Sterno holy hell

Michel

@fbueckert The analyst didn't finish the analysis and It's me that have to hear my boss complaining ...

fbueckert

@Michel Yup. Get used to it. It will happen quite often.

user15026

I wanted to be a shit and be like "birth control so I can get naked with everyone"

fbueckert

19:07

That said, if you find out there's a problem somewhere outside your area of responsibility, and you take the initiative to solve that problem, your boss will look favorably on you.

Michel

@fbueckert I'm starting to HATE logistic... I can't build an analyses because I'm not familiar to the business ... so I can do s*** -_-

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn Instead you're writhing in uncomfortableness after hearing about skinmites.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote It sounds like what a child might call scabs.

fbueckert

@Michel Logistics? I love those.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I'd use two Bs in that case.

user15026

19:07

@gracenote pretty much yes

Sterno

@AshleyNunn Yes! The worst part is, even after you treat it, you still are itchy for like 2 weeks as your body reacts to the dead bodies, eggs, etc. So you are convinced it's not gone and will never go away.

Grace Note

Though as a child, I called them scabs.

Michel

@fbueckert control of cargo traffic and stuff

fbueckert

But if you're not familiar with the business, ask if you can tag along with the people who need the software.

I did that for several days for one of my clients.

Michel

@fbueckert basically where is my stuff and what's going on

OrigamiRobot

19:08

@GraceNote Stop crushing my dreams.

fbueckert

@Michel Yup. Love logistics.

When done right, it's like a well oiled machine.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot It's like I've got a trash compactor but really I just use it for your dreams.

Michel

@fbueckert the guy spend 3 month building the analyse with my boss and the client. I can't catch up with that ... I just got the top of the iceberg here =X

Grace Note

(I almost kinda miss having a trash compactor).

user15026

@gracenote a real one or a dream crushing one?

fbueckert

19:09

@Michel So, in order for you to solve the problem, the analyst needs to finish his job, you need to talk to him directly, or you need to talk to the clients directly.

Michel

@fbueckert True. It's amazing to see the monster moving like a * add something that move smooth here * xD

@fbueckert I did already

fbueckert

@Michel And you still don't have all the info you need?

OrigamiRobot

Hey, I found a way to make an altoids tin look like it's made of copper. Now I have no excuses not to start working on my steampunk Xbox 360 again

Michel

but... could stop my boss complaing ... "you will break the schedule"

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn The former is the only one I merely "used" to have.

fbueckert

19:12

@Michel Point out what you need to get the job done.

Grace Note

Not that I'm entirely sure what all we really did with it. To my recollection, back when we were in that house, trash went into receptacles throughout the house but I'd just wheel out our barrel each trash day. No idea what magic means brought how much of what receptacles over to the trash can. Especially the vacuum, I never knew whatall happened to things from the vacuum.

fbueckert

If he can't get it for you, try to get it on your own, if you feel so inclined.

Otherwise, sit like a bump on a log and point out that you don't have everything you need to complete the job.

Michel

@fbueckert nope. it's a complicated part and he didn't pass me a lot to do. So... Also, I'm responsible for the front-end as well (Sweety poker face -_- ) I finish almost everything, just missing the menu and some small stuff... "You didn't touch the layout at all!" ....

fbueckert

@Michel Ow. Coders aren't very good at design, as a general rule.

Michel

@fbueckert I'm. I had to work a couple of year as Front-end dev. So He put all this s*** on me -_-

fbueckert

19:13

I try to punt design stuff off to our designers here. Once they finish with it, I then integrate it into my project.

Fluttershy

@Jin Who's his favorite pony!? This is important!

fbueckert

@Michel So, if you'll break the schedule, point out they've given you too much to get done in a reasonable amount of time.

Fluttershy

Also, man I wanna go home. Work sucks today.

Michel

@fbueckert can't use this one...

OrigamiRobot

Lil' Sebastian is my favorite pony.

Q: What's the formula for getting 3-stars in a Mario Kart 7 cup?

I finished a couple of cups getting 1st place in every race and still got a 2-star rating, so the ranking isn't only based on your position (or total points). Is there a defined formula or is it yet another Nintendo secret?

Q: How to move a wife from her shop to my house in hearthfire?

skyrim-hearthfire

Michel

@fbueckert I took the responsibility. The layout is easy. 1~2h I finish the menu

I'm pissed of beacuse I'm full of bugs 90% of them are because the others devs changed structures on the system (that affect all system). So my part get bugs... and I need to fix that... also change in the analyses (serious -_- there is a screen that I had to redo 3x and now I'm redoing part of it again!!!!)

@fbueckert Gratz!

fbueckert

@Michel Welcome to dev work. :)

Michel

@fbueckert 5 years and still pissed me off

fbueckert

I can't count how many times I've rewritten stuff because the client changed their minds, or had no idea what they wanted to begin with.

Michel

19:20

Want to move to Scotland, London or similares =P

At least I can enjoy my type of place xD

fbueckert

In an ideal world, programmers never meet clients, get perfect specs, and spend all day doing nothing but writing code.

Rarely will that ever happen, though.

Michel

@fbueckert Dream ~

@fbueckert Never SAW that ...

Rofl

fbueckert

I seem to be one of the rare coders who LIKES to talk to my clients.

I so want to play some new game

any tips ?

@OrigamiRobot See! you ARE cute and adorable ! come here your piece of scramble metal ... give me a hug

GnomeSlice

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot There's a wikia for it.

I mean, there's a wikia for everything, but the fact that that one is large is what I'm stunned by. UESP is a thing and I don't see why that info is duped to a random wikia.

Just makes no sense whatsoever.

GnomeSlice

20:04

5pike

@FEichinger Money through advertising. That's why

FEichinger

@5pike I don't think wikia gives any money to contributors, so that'd be a conspiracy theory against wikia itself ... I kinda doubt that.

GnomeSlice

This game is the shit

fbueckert

Did...he just delete his answer?

FEichinger

@fbueckert 'pparently. Or it was spamflagged, maybe? (Which would kinda make sense, actually.)

GnomeSlice

20:06

@FEichinger It definitely wasn't spam

fbueckert

@FEichinger It would take a rather large number of spam flags for that to happen.

So probably self deleted, is my guess.

He's already got Peer Pressure, so I dunno.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice I'm not saying it was. I'm saying it would be an explanation that isn't entirely unreasonable.

GnomeSlice

I guess. Spam flags wouldn't really apply though.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice If I wanted to spend a lot of money, I could put an actual steam engine on it.

We launched Stack Overflow Careers with the goal of fixing how companies hire developers. Traditional resumes only tell half the story, so we created Careers 2.0 Profiles to fill in the gaps. A few months ago, we released Company Pages with the goal of reinventing the traditional job listing the same way we reinvented the resume. Today, we’re excited to announce a new way to advertise your company to developers with Company Page Ads.
