Just imagine how our parents must have felt in early 90s.

I don't have to. I was there.
TBH my family had bigger problems at the time, such as a literal war.

I figured, but your parents then were roughly your current age.

Thereabouts, yeah.

@Parody Where the heck can you accrue that much sick leave? Even government tops out at something like 120 days. It's funny how the world works. First time around, I liked my job so much I simply never took off. The payout was a nice surprise. This time...well, I've been saving up for the biggest payout I can get when furloughs hit. The number I'm looking at right now...wow, sure would pay off alot of bills.
"There is no limitation on the amount of sick leave that can be accumulated.", says the (US Federal) Office of Personnel Management.
He's considered law enforcement, works mandatory overtime, and "gets" to keep doing his job without pay even during government shutdowns. He's counting down the days until mandatory retirement.

@Parody said in The Official Status Thread:
A buddy of mine is getting close to a year of sick leave. I tell him he should burn a day or two for sanity's sake once in a while, but he won't.
My problem has always been that I use a day here and couple days there, and I don't have enough left for a real vacation — except for the mandatory (maybe) "save your vacation to use now or take unpaid time off" end-of-year shutdown.

Status: One common C++ question in job interviews is supposed to be about what the problem is of forgetting to declare a virtual destructor in the base class.
Well, wouldn't you guess that today my code didn't get through review, because I checked in utter garbage, which I didn't notice because it was exactly in that destructor that wasn't executed because I forgot to put a virtual destructor in the base class.
I feel like a fool, but at the same time I'm happy that reading 'typical interview questions' a while ago actually helped me a lot today.

@hungrier Data exporting is the current theory. Please nobody request a data export.
-
@pie_flavor I don't think that was it, data export just caused some slowdown like we had in the morning. This was hours worth of 502 Not OK
-
Specifically, the "Profile" export, which apparently dumps every post you've ever liked or disliked. Which for somebody like me is a sizable percentage of the entire database.
The other two exports work fine.

must resist urge to test this theory.

Status: This morning they told us we have tomorrow off for something called "Juneteenth." I had never heard of this in my life until about a week ago. I wonder if it's a real holiday we'll have off every year or it was just a stunt because of protests.

@Zenith It's an official Texas state holiday, at least.

At minimum. Maybe even deleted. Who knowwwssss

As a rather new resident of Texas, TIL. However, I've heard about it a lot recently. One of the classical music stations I listen to is going to celebrate African-American and African-non-American composers and performers; a lot of the music they're playing is by dead white guys being performed by live black people on Juneteenth — except they've already been playing their music heavily all week, and talking about it incessantly. Not that I object to the choice of music; a lot of it is unfamiliar and a nice change from the usual Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, but the constant talking about it comes across, at least to me, as blatant virtue signaling.

status The crows are being very inconsiderate. I have my window open (before it gets too hot). Sounds like there's an entire murder of them in the tree directly across the street from my window.

Maybe they're protesting something? It seems to be all the rage these days.

Status: Decided that there weren't any Windows-based, non-web-platform, simple combat/initiative trackers available. So I'm in the process of writing my own (C#/NET Core/UWP). I used a very nice iOS one, but the iPad I was using belonged to the school, and I had to give that back. And I'd really rather not splash down a bunch of money for a device that would get used for exactly (and only) one purpose.

Given the OP, I read that as "crotch" wall-braces first, and got really cross-eyed trying to figure out if I needed to scroll past before any co-workers walked by.

Status: Wondering where all these posts appeared from on account of seeing Bad Gateway for the better part of the last day.
Anyway, I won't be getting an interview for a senior app dev in another department. They had a fit over experience with something called "ESRI GIS." So I said "If you looked at the long list of technologies that I learned mostly on the job and still think that I can't get up to speed with this single tool, then don't interview me. Good luck with your search." I hate my job so much but I don't have time to waste interviewing with people that think like that.
