Web conferences.

I'd tolerate a lot of aspects of a centralized command and control economy if it would lead to us as a nation selecting and investing in one Web meeting platform that actually works properly. Today's culprit was Polycom...

The city wants five grand of my money for something they can't show me and my landlord is being a prick about it. It's only money, I can make more right?

I agree that Trump has some angle that benefits him in everything he does. It's all about him. Plain as day.

My ass isn't big enough for how chapped I am about the direction the country is going.

Now you sound like a country music song from the 70's :)

I would cry myself to sleep for weeks over that, then probably laugh all the way to the bank. hummm?

Make sure that there's some pink somewhere on the tool too...

Haven't stolen even an hour on the trainer since last Saturday so the grump-o-meter is a little sensitive. But...

It’s been a couple weeks since I managed to commute by bike, until today.
Arrived at office to find that the (crappy, but acceptable) locker room in our building which had been under repair, is now completely walled off.
So, now shower today, and more importantly, I need to track down where the lockers went, since they contain my toiletries and a pair of shoes/belt.

It’s a LEED certified building, and they took deliver of some bike lockers a few months ago (not yet operational), so I’m hoping there’s something better coming rather than simply the elimination of my shower facility.

I hate the post office.

Congested for the third day in a row. Thankfully no fever yet!

Someone took my Michael Morris knife out of my checked luggage and kept it. I figure this not official TSA business as there was no note. There is a special place in hell for people who steal pocket knives.

I do feel so much safer though, don't you???

I have to apologize to TSA. We got to the airport this afternoon, and I figured since we were flying in a puddle jumper and there was no pocket knife in my bag, might as well take it to the gate and check it at the end of the jet way so we could grab it and make our getaway in NYC. Got to TSA, and my bag got pulled. TSA guy asked me "Do you have a pocket knife in your bag?" I must have looked confused, because he pointed at the screen and sure enough, there was my pocket knife. It was wedged between the canvas outer and part of the plastic inner shell. So we had to take the bag back to the ticket counter, check the bag and then go back through security. Now we are home and I have my pocket knife, safe and sound.

So thanks TSA for finding my pocket knife.

my boss is resigning. she leaves on the 28th. the other firm principals seem to not feel like they need to replace a chief operations officer. i now have zero internal support in a role that has had minimal appreciation within the firm (contracts manager), and am going to be expected to use lawyers as my sounding board. what fucking joke that is considering how busy they are. i have no idea what this means for me.

and it's my birthday.

[guido]

Happy birthday at least!

I'm an engineer at a manufacturing plant. For my platform, 4 machines, I'm the only management person here for the holidays so I'm The Engineer, The Team Leader for Operations, and anything else that comes up that no one else wants to do. There are typically 5 engineers, engineering team leader, and operations team leader. Everything is going pretty smooth, I wonder what all those other people do all day. Still leaving at 2pm today and not returning until 1/2.
