@CaldeiraG No one is answering that question either.

Morning!

I'm definitely job searching asap when corona is over

making us work changing shifts instead of from home when it all can be done 100% from home just because they don't "believe in it" is gross and wrecking havoc on my mental and physical wellbeeing

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, I can imagine that!

@Tinkeringbell True that :)

Morning!

I'm going to change the sign so the pole is horizontal and the sign is mounted on the front like a plunger, so I can carry it around like a lance to gently push people back if they try to approach.

@CaldeiraG XD Well, that's one (and I think the only?) function of a home-made mask, yes. You don't know if you're dealing with a contagious asshole ignoring the rule to stay at home thinking a mask makes going out fine... Or not. So you steer clear ;)

CaldeiraG

09:37

Yep :P

Well, my computer is struggling to install a printer

Tinkeringbell

Fun. Ours is (luckily) plug and play: Just plug in the usb to the printer and print :P

CaldeiraG

Wireless one

You put the IP in and the Install printer progress bar goes forever (it never finished)

it also breaks other printer settings

(it's the IT crew installing it for me), 45 min yesterday + 30min just now and still not installed

Need to keep the pc on so he can work on it afterhours

Tinkeringbell

O.o That's... taking a lot of time!

CaldeiraG

Yeeea

the computer is pretty fast except installing a printer

Installing another one gave the infinite progress bar again

I bet Journeyman likes printers /s

Tinkeringbell

Everyone likes printers, don't they?

Q: How do I stop deferring to my boyfriend?

In other areas in my life I am pretty outspoken and independent and I’m not afraid to speak my mind or take control. But in my relationship with my boyfriend I am never able to disagree with him and often defer to his opinions or take them on as my own without question. It’s not so much a case o...

Q: So I have stumbled into an anime style triangle love and I am not sure what to do?

So 8 months ago i moved into an apartment with a boy and a girl. They were just friends and were all around the same age. I really like both of them (as friends) and we have an amazing relationship as roommates. About a month ago me and the boy have started getting pretty close. Hanging out all ...

friends conflicts roommates dating

Em C

lol did not expect that to onebox

Tinkeringbell

Is that a love triangle or summoning a demon butler?

Em C

it was the first good result for "anime playing triangle" on image search :D

Tinkeringbell

18:40

Oh well. While you were Googling, I commented and closed it ;)

Em C

that takes more time than one compile :p

(for me, at least)

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, my compiles are soooo slow too. And I had to make changes last week that required a compile just to be able to test them :/

I'm glad I share my desk with my hobbies right now.

Em C

that's all my changes, haha. I usually check chat/email.. or do a couple puzzles in the latest phone game I found..

Tinkeringbell

Oh e-mail... is yours exploding too? It seems like everyone these days needs to e-mail 10 people about everything :/

Em C

my team mostly uses chat, but I've been getting a lot of bug report emails lately :/

Tinkeringbell

18:51

:( Those aren't great either... Mine uses... everything. Our scrum master put us on teams, yet she's herself still chatting using Skype. I use Teams with the two co-workers I work together with the most, and there's managers @-ing everyone in there too. There's 3 extra whatsapp groups (all muted, because they aren't serious business only)...

Today I quit all of it and had a lovely 5 hours of productivity.

Em C

nice!

that sounds like way too much chatting to keep track of

Tinkeringbell

Yeah... especially since some of it is just chit-chat...

I'm glad to hear not every team is as dysfunctional, gives me hope :D

Em C

my company has a number of very active not-work-related internal email lists / forum sites, I don't know how anyone finds the time..

yeah, my current team is good :)

Tinkeringbell

@EmC Probably the same ways that you or I find time to chat here ;)
