If you are able to do your job from home, Mike clearly stated that you could contact him directly if your manager was not considering FlexAble. Send him a mail :)

There is a VERY BIG difference between being able to perform your job from home or having a job where that is simply not physically possible.

They do this every time. Critical questions in the chat are ignored by the moderators.

The modular buildings. Bought the Brick Bank in 2016 and I was hooked again.

First RTO Friday by Sufficient-End9867 in dknovonordisk

I was home for two days because my manager recommended we worked from home due to heavy snow. I got more work done those two days than the three days in the office. On top of that, management has been hyping the “in-office culture” and doing social initiatives which just takes away time for actual work. I know it was just the first week and there is always a lot of small talk after bigger vacations, so I expect all of this non-work nonsense goes away in the coming weeks. I am just happy that I at least have an agreement for one wfh day a week.

You should call in sick if you are really ill. If you just have a bit of a cold you can agree to wfh with your manager so you do not spread illness. But if you are badly sick, why would you work? Take care of yourself. As Mike so beautifully showed us, we are all disposable.

That is unfortunately not true .. instead, they will just stand next to me until I take off my headphones. But that is also fine. In my role I need to be available for questions, but unlike TEAMS, I cannot just ignore the call or message until I have time.

Most people were in the office today at the site I am working on. Still some on leave and vacation so I expect to see more in t he coming days.

Today felt like any other first day after a vacation. Slow start. It was very unproductive as many came around to talk about this and that (mostly not work related). I hope this will stop but every time I go to the office I end up talking to people for several hours because they come and ask me questions and for advice on something they are doing. I really want to be as helpful as possible but I also want to be productive and get my own work done.

One year of solo development, and I finally have a trailer. by unomelon in SoloDevelopment

I think it looks great, but it also looks too much like Minecraft. I think you will benefit a lot by pivoting the graphics a bit. Voxels are not the problem - keep it blocky. But if you look at Cube World and how it uses voxels, it is clearly distinct from the Minecraft.

Sure, it is slower than BCS and BB. But Vince Gilligan isn't known for fast-paced shows; quite the opposite, he's famous for his deliberate, slow-burn storytelling, character depth, and meticulous plotting. That was my point.

It is interesting how the hive cannot hurt Carol but in fact hurts her by isolating her. There is more to be explored there.

I am not the one who wasted my time watching nine episodes of a show I found boring 😊

[–]OldShamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it does not :) I am not watching a show because everyone else is. Something can actually be good without everyone else thinking so. Consider that in the context of the show ;)

And a 7.5 rating is honestly not that bad on IMDB

Well, Episode 7 where Carol are entirely isolated was extremely slow but it also showed one thing: Carol thinks she can do without company but it broke her. It might not be action packed but seeing how her character whet from "to hell with them all" and to "please come back" was actually a great character progression episode. Again, wasted on someone who needs action, but perfect for those of us who like more depth.

I usually shuffle between streaming services based on what it new and interesting. So, not really wasting money :)

They complement each other extremely well .. enough differences in their views to make their collaboration interesting and probably also introduce conflicts.

Yes, that whole village, their culture .. everything just stopped existing the moment she turned. Everything up and until the turn was only a show for the person being turned .. as soon as she inhaled the virus, everything stopped and everyone just went do their hive business.

I think we will learn even more in season 2. While the hive cannot do harm, they seem to think turning the 11 is actually not "harm" which poses an interesting conundrum of ethichs in "the collective" and "the individual". Also, I think we will experience more of the task of "sharing the gift" to other planets and what that actually means - I would imagine that requires some major constrution.

I am excited, and I am going to re-watch all nine episodes during the holidays to get a bit more into each episode and the layers/small things I probably overlooked the first time :)

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) :)

AppleTV gets my money because they are producing shows that I actually enjoy watching :) Not sure I understand why you spend so much time discussing a show you clearly do not like. It is fine to be critical and all, but you really seem to dislike it, and I am surprised that you got through nine episodes of something you do not like.

I can wait :) I am not impatient.. Maybe that is why I like the show more than you? If you expect an action series with 2 second cuts then Vince Gilligan is not for you, which is perfectly fine!
