Status Someone just jokingly called me out that we're not supposed to be in our new offices until monday. I responded that I was deep undercover as a business administrator (the previous occupants of our new offices). "Right now", I continued, "I am playing solitaire!"
...I may have said that last bit just a wee tad too loud. :innocent_whistle.lha:

Next up: not thinking about a pink elephant
Ha. I'm thinking about a purple elephant in a shade that you'd probably claim, incorrectly, was purple

I didn't remember it exactly correctly: He paid $1100 extra to get a navigation system. […]
"He" is a she.

Are those metric... ounces?
is a metric ounce?25 grams, although some countries have redefined it.
-
Around here, an ounce is 100 grams, and a pound is 500 grams. These are only in popular/verbal usage, rarely written down.

What the fuck, Windows? Are you intentionally breaking my programs when there's an update ready?
I actually started suspecting chrome slows down once "update is ready", forcing you to restart.
-

Those programs are probably referencing a dll that's been updated. Between updates and a restart, you're in a zombie state where stuff like this can happen. Just reboot the fucking PC

"The Netherlands" ∈ "some countries".
A metric pound is 500 grams and is made by 20 metric ounces.

No, he's got an F-150, but NYT reporters have never seen pickups before, so they assume they're tanks.

Status: At first, I thought someone had simply @accalia'd
sausage
… nope: http://www.dausage.com/The Dausage is a cross between a sausage and a doughnut. It is a succulent meat sausage, filled with different varieties of jam (or if you are from the US, jelly!) and other doughnut-like fillings.

wat?

Status: Employer suddenly wants to know our full educational histories. We're all engineers and joking about making stuff up. I think I will have a Master's in Underwater Basket Weaving, and a coworker dropped out at fifth grade and hasn't been to school since.

That is usually an ominous sign...

Yay! More digital panhandling.

No kiddin'. I'm used to "succulent" in the context of plants, where you're usually talking about thick leaves or stalks filled with sap. I'm not sure how that maps onto sausage. Extra grease?

We have a Jeff at work named Jeff.

Does he Jeff?

Jeffly!

Install a bikeshed and give him some buckets of paint.
That should keep him occupied and away from stuff that he can really do damage to.

Enough fat that the sausage isn't dry when cooked (when cooked well done, most of the water is driven out or evaporated). I'm OK with that, I was objecting to the jam/jelly fillings.

Status:
1 TB (actually 924 GB) hard drive was full, as in 0 bytes free. So I emergency-bought a 3 TB drive (actually 2.72 TB) and cloned the 1 TB over to it. Now the 3 TB only has 1.2 TB free. How does 924 GB on one drive take up 1.5 TB on another?
Conclusion: ESXi can't math.
-
You crossed the 2GB cluster-size boundary, and the size of each allocation unit doubled?
-
If that's the case, what a pain...
-
If that's the case, what a pain...

Actually, for now I'm going to stick with the ESXi can't math hypothesis. For a while it was complaining about having a full disk yet reporting 440 GB free. Eventually (like a week later) it updated to actually say 0 GB free.
-

And now you crossed the post-doubling threshhold. Nice.
