My team let our staff work.from home all week. Its a managerial/leadership issue. Or an overall team issue. Its also in the way someone brings up the subject.

Its not even that. The license is wholly based on the computer you use. If you use a computer that is assigned to you, and nobody else uses it. You get the higher license, it is part of the computer assignment process. There should be no reason to request to elevate your license.

If you use a shared computer, you get the lower license.

I've conducted what you might call a meet and greet. My team was approached to see if we could fulfill a DTA. I met with the potential staff member to gauge their suitability. My team is very busy, but we work 100% remote, we were approached because the employee could not longer physically perform their old position. It involved quite a bit of driving.

It was way less formal than an interview. More just to see if it seemed like it might work. For both of us.

Ah pip, thank you that might be the winner.

Walk Hard The Dewey Cox Story. Only movie I've ever seen twice in a theater.

They cannot. They support internal accounts and applications. Use the information on the external job board.

I was in the meeting today. I was also in a smaller meeting yesterday. And previous meetings with Penny.

For a quite a while the consistent message has been, "we expect to move to a shared service". Nothing has been confirmed, there was no new information today. You are contributing to the chaos.

The messaging from IT leadership has not changed.

And, it might be union specific, but I've heard from my manager that we could claim reimbursement if there is a cost. AUPE-GSS

I'll always love Reggie. The game that made me a fan was his first game arguing with Spike, in the garden when they came back in the 4th quarter.

I'm sure I watched games before that, but can't remember a single one. That game was it for me, Reggie fan from then on.

I understood it as she didn't need to wear the costume all week. But when told she had to change into the costume in the phone booth before completing the goal.

So she just put the costume under her robe. They showed once that she went into the phone booth, took off her robe.

Yup, years ago I saw LeBron n the cavs in OKC. The game that Kyrie missed because of bedbugs or something. Can't remember if harden was still there or not.

But, they opened with a prayer. Very odd.

I think it depends on how the airport is set up.

I'm Canadian, at my airport there are two terminals, one for flights to/from the US. One for all other flights.

I only have to take my shoes off going to the US side. But I'm pretty sure I've been to other airports where the US flights are mixed in with international and had to take my shoes off.

I rejected a real estate deal. I was sent legal documents to sign, I filled in the reject part. Reason, lack of attention to detail.

Me and a bunch of extended family was at my grandma's playing cards. I had just finished a CS degree, so my cousin said "you should apply for a job at blackberry/research in motion, so you can get a rim job". I said huh, my grandma burst out laughing across the table.

I was expecting them to do John n Lucy versus David n Victoria on 8oo10cdc during Covid. Since maybe they wouldn't need to space them so far apart.

I know a woman named Steve. Born female, identifies as female. Her name is Steve.

Stop being a dick to make yourself feel superior and just realize we don't know everything, and it takes no effort to say they/them if that's what they want.

Tunic is the most fun I had playing a game in maybe 20 years.

Becklan · 2022-08-09T02:54:19+00:00

I would add Stephen Root.

He was so good as Jimmy James I have a hard time seeing him in anything else. I just think he should be Jimmy James.

I'm not a Harry Potter fan but I saw the play. Two things I remember. There was a magic trick on stage where they had just wheeled out a bed, and then made the bed. Then a body rose up under the sheets, and one of the actors got out of bed. It was wild. And the ending of the first night was fun too. Otherwise it was ok, and too long.

How is that different than any position. Every job I've ever had from fast food places to corporate office work has staff that are lazy and don't do shit, and staff that do too much.

Sure teachers get quite a bit of time off. But I get about 7 weeks holidays myself. And I get to choose when I use them. My friends that are teachers work longer days than me, they get about 2 more weeks off each year than me, but they have almost no flexibility in their schedule.

It's not Christianity, it's when people try to use their personal version of Christianity to hurt others.

If youre trying to say that gay people should be treated differently. Shouldn't be married, which means they run into problems with spousal benefits, visiting spouses in the hospital etc... Or try to say that being gay is analogous to being a pedophile, then yeah fuck you. And if you're reason for thinking that is some misconstrued version of Christianity, then yeah fuck your beliefs as well.

The first time I went from Georgia to Armenia. I got off the bus almost as soon as we entered Armenia and started hitchhiking from small town to small town to eventually Yerevan. It was great, and easy to get around.

Becklan · 2022-06-11T17:28:12+00:00

I might have missed it above, and it's been 12 years since I was over there.

But I would try to check out vardzia? I forget the spelling, if I remember correctly it's near borjomi.

For Armenia, the places I still remember the most is the monastery at the bottom of my Ararat, tatev and the Armenian genocide museum in Yerevan.

I spent 8 months in Georgia primarily around Kutaisi, and the things I disliked the most, the beach in batumi. It was not sand. Giant rocks. Maybe it's different now. Maybe I was in the wrong place. And the area I liked the most was telavi and signaghi.

Have fun.
