But I might join their ranks one day, so this is an aspirational post, right? /s

I am technically on 8am-5pm, though the boss lets us stop responding to emails at 430pm and head home. I’d have to answer a call or text, but that never happens. I get 1h unpaid lunch.

My coworkers come in a half hour later but only get a half hour lunch. I like the longer break, so I’m find with it. Technically, we’re all salaried, so we can show up a bit late or leave a bit early so long as we communicate with the boss about it.

Well said.

I had an in-person interview lined up after a phone interview went really well. However, I got offered a different position before the Linux interview was scheduled and I had to take it because I was unemployed and couldn’t gamble on it not working out.

I just got back into virtualizing Linux instances on Proxmox (had been on ESXi before the Broadcom fuckery). I’m considering going that route again as of just very recently.

And the reason for my mention of sarcasm proves necessary. I can’t contribute code, so I contribute money to FOSS projects. And I think it’s stupid to dehumanize people. I haven’t embarrassed myself because you aren’t able to properly interpret my post building atop prior sarcasm.

There’s a reason I’m on the SDF instance and it wasn’t an accident. Learn to internet.

Thanks for the correction.

Sounds like a great way to further undercut public services while turning young people against the Torries. Make this shit retroactively apply to everyone serving in government and I’d have no problem with it. Fuck legislation that by design will never touch them.

We need laws that say that pre-historic fossils can only be housed in museums, universities, and other places of learning / study / exhibition.

Frisbee is surprisingly fun and aerobic. I’m with you on the rest.

At least this one didn’t get to resign first. Might reduce the number of departments where he can apply, though that number won’t be anything near zero.

You know what, they’re right. All this time I’ve spent praising our study of the universe, development of medicine and vaccines, even harnessing energy and sending information around the planet and I just feel duped.

Science is a liar sometimes.
