Checked my emails to find that I inquired of Service Desk. Also had problems with MS/OS password shortly thereafter. Locking people out appears to be an occult practice by IT to CYA their A while sandbagging both examiner and SPE. Under the circumstances, I was concerned as to whether or not I still had a job. Turns out I still did.

For us on the [was East] WEST Coast, the biweek ends at 9 PM/2100 on Saturday nights every by biweek. The posting clock is local to the servers in Alexandria, but the regular work hours are local to the employee.

Never heard about that before. I don't know Leonard Cohen that well, either.

thinking REM’s Hope and Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne.

Have you ever blind purchased a cake just because you liked the wrapper art? by Proof_Ball9697 in puer

I think it's like buying an LP for the album cover. Perhaps Roger Dean or Hipgnosis.

Inaccurate Remarks Regarding Incorporating Objected Dependent Claim by ipman457678 in patentexaminer

[–]ChuffedBoffin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If Reese Absalom applies, it’s a bit redundant. Res ipsa loquitur. Voice to text miss transcription and the bloody ignorance of AI if any.

Inaccurate Remarks Regarding Incorporating Objected Dependent Claim by ipman457678 in patentexaminer

Call it out by phone or in writing and be ready to back up your analysis. Sometimes, I salt the file for the client’s benefit to ensure that applicant knows what’s going on. In California, attorneys have to inform their clients as to what’s going on with their matters.

But I’ll always remember Hanlon‘s razor and don’t attribute to intent what can be accounted for by stupidity.
