I wonder if Terry was okay during the storm, since it took him ten fucking minutes to call back to say they were allowed to go home.

You know what would happen if I did my job for five different companies?

I’d get fired.

This explains James Bond’s invulnerability

When I had chickens I liked hanging out with them. The way the chased me when I had some food made me feel like I was in Jurassic Park.

I highly doubt hanging out with Trump would be that much fun. Unless I ran around holding a hamburger while he chased me. Maybe.

I’m glad to hear that. It’s at least something.

Every time I hear about a fatal crash during rush hour I feel terrible for the person who died going to work.

There’s a Second Amendment argument to be made here

This assumes the thing with the tariff is even available. I can’t buy a Hilux because of the Chicken Tax.

I remember back when they first started getting popular I was at a conference and told a marketing person that we should make one instead of giving folks a long url. The marketing person said “I don’t know if we have the budget to register one.”

I used to think that this was because the marketing person didn’t know how they worked, but now I know that they thought it worked like UPCs.

Executives do not see workers as people with skillsets. They’re numbers on a spreadsheet. And having ten highly paid workers quit “voluntarily” makes the numbers do good things.

Actually, they’re not even numbers on a spreadsheet. They’re data points in a graph. Executives don’t have time to understand numbers, let alone people.

Thanks for the answer!

Honestly, the fact that junior folks won’t be allowed to do things would be great. I’d love to see IT getting proper engineering certifications. People wouldn’t allow their factories to be built by non-certified engineers, but they’ll let their nephew who’s good with computers build their network. Seems like unions could help with that, too.

Will continue to be.

The part of your workday that you’re most likely to die during is your commute, especially if you drive, which is not covered by DoL or OSHA.

ETA: Okay, if you’re a crab fisherman or salvage diver maybe your job is more dangerous. But for almost every job I can think of driving to work is more dangerous than everything you do.

Another concern I have - which might also be anti-union propaganda - is that I won’t be allowed to do certain things because that job is supposed to be done by someone else according to the contract.

I hate doing that sort of thing because it makes me wait and by the time they get back to me another fire has started that I have to put out and it takes me a while to get back to the first thing.

I’d be happy to hear this isn’t a legitimate concern.

As much as I love the sounds of that it seems like a good way to get arrested under some anti-hacking laws.

He also didn’t choose particularly good targets to accomplish his goal.

Which is a great reason to at least familiarize yourself with it. It’s the lingua franca of text editors.
