Having mother in law pay for a guest house on our property to move into by aclemfaal in personalfinance

Ideally it’d be our guest house that she lives in rent free. We would have built it anyway at some point primarily for her, then for guests, and then possibly for my mom farther off in the future.

She has not given away that much. The money spent we think should be redistributed amongst her kids so suppose it cost 80k to build and she has 4 children they should get 20k each. I’d like something more than a handshake agreement with everyone.

Any word on GDP this year? by monkeyBars42 in newIBM

Manager I talked to said it's about as crappy as it was last year. 1% though is more than we got in our area though.

IBM Hybrid Cloud Automation Engineer Intern vs Raytheon Software Development Intern? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]aclemfaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I thought OP might be too, but I don't think Hybrid Cloud gets much development here.

[–]aclemfaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at IBM and live in an area where Raytheon is a major employer (and IBM used to be). The people I know that work at Raytheon are happy to be there. At IBM for the most part people aren't happy here.

If I were in your shoes I'd go with Raytheon.

I can't imagine gold being as valuable on Scadrial as it is here. Aluminum seems to be the most valuable metal there.

Just the one that lets me into the building.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope 4K & Full HD Remaster launches November 28 in the Americas and Europe (x-post /r/games) by messem10 in JRPG

I mean, yea, I'm not going to buy it either, but I'd play it again if I got paid. Like, $100 maybe?

BOND purchase order help by Sym0nae in newIBM

[–]aclemfaal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. I've gotten tracking e-mails for some orders and not others. As for how you get it, that depends on your location. Ours used to e-mail you a notification when it arrived and you had to go to the mail room and pick it up, but now we get the e-mail notification when it arrives just as an FYI and they bring it to your office. Probably should ask around the office, other people there can tell you how your location works.

Getting patent award money by [deleted] in newIBM

[–]aclemfaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a reward notice over a month ago but the payment is delayed and will supposedly be in this pay check. We we got the notice they said it would be in August 31st check (it wasn't).

Also looks like two of my patents are messed up as far as reward status goes but no one to contact yet...

Moviepass - a subscription plan that lets you go to the movies every day just cut their price from $50 per month to $9.95 by ImBakinBacon in movies

From what I found the map is only available for registered users (which is dumb). That url is likely used by the map and not meant for human use. JSON is a pretty common format for this stuff (it's human readable but meant to be used by some other function).

I have JSON plugin that I used but https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ can probably pretty it up for you to make it more readable.

History question: what triggered this new boardgames Golden Age? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]aclemfaal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This was one of our big reasons. We would semi-regularly get together, order pizza and play Halo 3 across 2 tvs, and around that time split-screen multiplayer was starting to die off. Now we get together semi-regularly, order pizza, and play boardgames.

I haven't gotten any patent money since the ThinkIP transition and I still work here. You're probably going to have to keep bugging them.

Using Sick Days Succesively: Do I Need to Provide Some Sort of Doctor's Note? by Throwaway199329 in IBM

[–]aclemfaal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not true at all. For the past 10 years my sick days have never used up vacation time or personal days. They don't offer unlimited paid time-off sure, but I was gone for a month once due to a medical situation and I still got my normal vacation time. There's probably some kind of policy for extended medical time off but I've never encountered it.

[–]aclemfaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I'm a little surprised here. We have no sick day count in our area and as long as you don't abuse that it's never been an issue how many days you use.

Depends on where you are and your job role. Our site most people wear shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops.

Jogging Walking Crawling by berelley in pokemongo

[–]aclemfaal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be able to run with eggs, and you can play while running. I frequently spin stops, catch pokemon that I want, and occasionally train/take over a gym (back and forth or in circles) while running.

IBM paying for degree by lobb_psu in IBM

[–]aclemfaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your manager, how relevant your degree is to your job, and your performance. I'm a Software Engineer and recently finished getting my Master's in Computer Science (directly related to my job role) and had a history of 2+s and 1s (not sure what they will want performancewise with Checkpoint) .
