Running npm install would give me a mini heart attack

It should; but more because it installs things right off the net with no validation. Consistency of code product is not the only thing you’re tossing.

It’s not the product, it’s the cavalier consumption of unsigned add-ons despite knowing better.

Months before. By the time it comes around, the only thing we’re doing is calling the cab to the posh airport hotel (because fuck yeah) and bugging out.

The Clovis people would like a word.

But they’re wiped out. Violently.

Weird how that’s not in the stories though.

The CF is an armed force. It’s a force that is armed.

Primarily it’s brought out for prisoner search and sandbags. So, so, so-so, so, so many sandbags.

Um, sorry. We’ll be more polite.

Two things:

• our alexa units are fine. We manage a half-dozen bulbs and a set-top box.
• if they want a subscription to keep doing that, HomeAssistant becomes the top job on the queue.

That’s it.

Hasn’t Hezbollah been targeting Israel for decades?

It’s just cute how much you left out, there, as if that’s the only thing that’s been going on.

My chiro has all his training in physiotherapy. So is he a quack or is he a pro? I’m so confused!

I wish people knew this wasn’t a word.

This happens on my country all the time of late . I can’t even pronounce the letters in the new name of the hospital where I was born.

They’re gonna name the town the same name, so I wonder whether I’ll get a passport with a home town I can’t say or spell, or a passport with a home town that no longer exists. Either way, I’m getting strip-searched .

No, it’s Cunningh-- heyyyy, wait a minute.

I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.

My current day-job went from 100% get-in-that-chair-and-straighten-that-tie to 100% get-out-now on CoViD day 1. It was a rapid adjustment, to say the least; and the shit managers who needed to stare at asses all day to feel better just … left. They’ve since sold most of the office space but for some meeting space, 2 hotel spaces for those who prefer it, and one rotating helldesk dude to receive Fedex.

Supporting users? Onsite? Nope. It’s 100% remote service, and for the rare cases where it needs physical interaction with a component, the user and gear comes to the office and the onsite helldesk stuckee works it over. For those of us far-remote (regs are anywhere in the country, so long as the internet’s clean) we cross-ship for cheap or bring it to one of a very few deputized-for-secret-squirrel shops. I have a docking port-replicator I’m waiting on a shipper label for, for instance.

TL;DR - you don’t need to be onsite to support remote workers. That whole “bodies in the same room” thing is gone.

my work [computer] is powered off[;]

That’s the way. KVM switch if you multi-use the space. Mine has USB for sound so it’s the same sound setup.

the office was only 5 miles away […] enough to keep you on a schedule and get out of the house.

The new building where I live has wework spaces. I can rent on 5 and live on 20 and it’s an elevator ride if I want to work in the glass cube farm or open petri dish. But nooooo, we got this place for the AC and extra bedroom to write off and my cat’s sleeping on the desk as we speak like a sloppy floofy hobo so … nooooo.

It’s not WHY people quit, but it’s why they don’t stay.

most people that are for in office work like having the separation between work and home.

My apartment offers wework-style glass cube space, as well as (totally unused) conference space on the 30th floor. Big conference TV, kitchenette, global supra high-back seating (good-not-amazing) and panoramic river views.

the commute is considered working hours.

I think in Germany that’s part of the labour code: the clock runs the entirety of the time you’ve left the house on their instruction.

My ask is

You mean ‘request’, right? You need to leave the used-car-salesbro jargon at the lot, man.

But I run a surcharge as well, and it’s prohibitive for some. It’s about 40% more for the first day in the office, and 20% more for each day-per-week after that, to 120% surcharge at most. I put the interview answers in the spreadsheet, and when they ask about Salary I tell them how it’s based on the per-person rent of a 2-bedroom condo closest to the work location and a percentage surcharge or rebate based on the job attributes. Either that’s too offbeat or detailed for them, and they sometimes get sad for one or both of those reasons.

Software update policy, dress code (there’s a difference between ‘casual’ and ‘business casual’), a tax for Teams or Office or Outlook, mandatory standby, forced field work, 9x9 schedule, etc. I don’t have a tax for ‘distance from nearest commuter train station’ but it’s coming.

Absolute.com (security not vodka) was down to $85k, though, as it was so awesome. But ohhh, if MDA or the BoC had bit, it would’ve been nearly $500k as they had SO many problems.
