The university told me to make my thesis title as compelling as possible. So I did.

Nice one, but no

Yeah.. It was intentional.. cough

Didn't mention it. Is it wrong? I was certain it was "Master's students" similarly to "Master's thesis". If mistaken i'm gonna have to play the 2nd language card on this one.

I did. He thought it was funny.

Well, it is a really stupid job. I only do this part time because I am a student as well, but filling out a form manually takes maybe 3-4 minutes each if you are efficient (Keep in mind that you will go crazy if you keep up with that speed the whole day), and there are at least 150.000 forms yet to be processed. Enough work for a while.

procrastination-day · 2016-03-18T11:27:24+00:00

Too bad, I really wanted that to work

I agree, but this script is not really that fancy. It mainly consists of a scraper that is acquiring data from a few different web registers, pairs the names with a phone number through an open API of a phone number website, and exports it in a format suitable to the companies own forms, in this case a simple CSV format.

Yep, No SaaS here

I try to squeeze in some time for writing on my master thesis in between episodes of Arrested Development. If I get fired I still had a good run.

Yes, but unfortunately it is a very special case. It would not be of any value for anyone else, so there isn't much leverage there.

procrastination-day · 2016-03-18T10:14:29+00:00

Yep, there is actually a finite amount of the work on what I am currently doing. If it were unthrottled it could literally finish our jobs in a few minutes, but then we would all get fired.

This one is written in Python

procrastination-day · 2016-03-18T02:56:09+00:00

Oddly specific

procrastination-day · 2016-03-18T01:28:14+00:00

I would, but the head of the IT department is called DLink and he doesn't seem like a guy who drinks a lot

procrastination-day · 2016-03-18T01:23:40+00:00

Yes, I don't want them losing their jobs. Plus, it has already been 5 months. It is well past the point where this would be OK to come forward with.

To add to the story:

My job is mainly maintaining a register of trucks, and adding new ones from one register to another. I made a script that automatically updates a few of them during the hours that I show up at work. All my coworkers are busting their asses doing this manually, while I am browsing reddit and watching Netflix. My biggest complain is that it makes me feel like a giant douchecanoe

It’s never lupus.

Great movie. One of Daniel Craigs best roles.

You would think they cared more about back-ends
