RE: Asking for Passwords
@Benjamin-Hall I take it back. It's worse. They're using a google form to collect the passwords...
I quote from the email (and this was repeated in person):
Please fill in the Google form below with your full name and computer password.
Computer Password Request Form. You must sign in with your Tampa Prep email in order to be able to open the form.
Note: You will see a little warning message saying “Never submit passwords through Google Forms”- please ignore that message. -
RE: One final niggly detail
@cartman82 I'm no lawyer, but if you didn't sign it up front, it didn't happen. Their loss.

Yes. Germans are supposed to do their job thoroughly ; TSA agents are known for letting actual dangerous stuff slip thru.
No one said anything about competence being involved as a hiring characteristic for the TSA, merely the sense of humour bypass. Any competence is accidental.
"Works for government" is, in my experience, in significant tension with "is selected for competence." If not outright opposition.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@PleegWat said in The Official Status Thread:
@Benjamin-Hall I recommend turning your notification volume up (or down) and catching some extra winks.
Is this home office or do they force you to come in?
Home office, thankfully. If I also had to get fully dressed and drive 35 minutes in to work...I'd probably have called in sick as a preventative measure. For everyone else's health.

RE: The Official Status Thread
Status: I'm already calling it that today's going to be a of a day.
- Slept like absolute crap last night
- Had to wake up this morning
- As was preparing my morning oatmeal, I managed to spill the entire bowl all over the cabinet, the floor, and my foot.
- That was the last of my oatmeal until I go shopping tomorrow.
- I'm blocked from doing anything productive at work (QA is backed up + in-progress limits)
- Even if I wasn't blocked that way, almost all of our work is blocked by other teams (despite having spent the last quarter "decoupling" from them...)
- I had to wake up this morning.

RE: WTF Bites
@sebastian-galczynski said in WTF Bites:
in one microservice (of ~35 at this point
There's your problem.Gif
Microservices suck to work with IMX. And the more micro, the worse. I don't mind having several services for different things, but if it takes more than about 2 services to handle a request, yuck.

tuna pizza
The "Nope, you eat it" thread is... Oh wait. Carry on. But ewwwww!
I. Like. Fish.
Fish is fine (mostly). But some things just don't go together.
For example, I use mayo on sandwiches. Unlike the Latvians I knew, I do not use it as the sauce for a pizza. Because that's just an abomination.

RE: Nope, you eat it
@Arantor I guess it's better than trying to oxygenate water and ending up with H2O2.

RE: Today in reading the headlines...
@Zerosquare I did notice that there were order-dependent effects on test grading, but
- I didn't grade alphabetically but in order of receipt.
- The effects weren't always negative. In fact, I found myself naturally being harder on the first few until I settled into a rhythm. I then tried to go back and regrade the earlier, harsher ones to adjust.
So
