besides do you have any idea how hard it is to sit comfortably in an office chair with a tail?
From my experiences with cats, I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different from sitting on the floor or a bed with a tail.

the floor and the bed to not have a backrest

This is where the short tail of a hedgehog is an advantage
Unfortunately, the quills kinda negate that...
-
In my experience, animals with tails don't sit with their back perpendicular to the ground.
-
Doesn't look like the tail causes a problem.

the tail is the least of that fox's problems!

Most chairs have a gap between the seat and the backrest.

Well, I can definitely see how being a werefox would be more convenient than the normal kind.

Last time I went to Ikea, it seemed to me to be about 50:50

werefox?
WEREFOX?!
THOU DARE MALIGN MY MAGESTIC SPLENDOR WITH THE MERE WORD WEREFOX?!
no! i am far more than a mere werefox! I am Kitsune! and i'll thank you to remember that!
-
That's just the Japanese word for fox. Sure, they like them better and all, but I didn't think that country of origin was enough to make someone able to transform. Tanuki have it a bit different, since they aren't anywhere else.

Unfortunately, the equivalent of that is exactly what the SSIS designer defaults you with when creating the object. Literally.
At least the evaluator considers this a problem, but only until you:

Let the slices dry.
Why would I want to ruin perfectly good mozzarella?
Trying to grate them when they are still wet doesn't achieve the desired result.
Is that really such a strange thing to do? I like to keep grated parmesan and dried+grated mozzarella to use in my food for texture and taste.
ETA:
It doesn't need to dry - you can apply the grater to it anyway.
That didn't go really well when I tried it. The result was a white sludge with mozzarella taste.
If you really want to grate Mozzarella without completely ruining it by drying it out - put it into the freezer. Then grate the frozen cheese.

It's also the name of the spiritual being that is in the form of a fox ;)

That's so obvious I wouldn't have thought of that myself in a thousand years
Thanks.

Also, Teotihuacan on West Bellfort has wonderful Mexican food.
I went to Cabo's and got plantain-encrusted mahi-mahi. But seems they're closed now.

Last status on this, because I have no idea how core programming concepts were not taught to this poor person.
The dumb is leaking into my running state...

Turn off wifi before you do so.
{blank start} I--- I don't understand. How does data on a device you own get removed by a third party? {sideways dog look} Is this a normal thing for you?

Status: The nanny called in sick today. Looks like I am traveling with a 6-month old today.
There goes my plans for a 3 beer lunch.
You can still order 3 beers. You'll just have to share.

I'm pretty sure I've seen chairs with holes in the back, or backs that are only the top half.

^-- Dicksource onebox failSee http://www.bekkelund.net/2012/10/22/outlawed-by-amazon-drm/: Amazon has the capability to remotely remove content from your Kindle.
Hilarity ensues when they fuck up, of course.

I've only watched the first two seasons. The joke about bum fights was like in the 4th episode.

FFS, people, it's not a Discourse Onebox fail.
It's a "look, I used an HTTP link in a post on an HTTPS forum" onebox fail.
-
-
Because when you click it, that guy's webserver will respond in HTTPS if the referrer URL is HTTPS.
Either way, still not Discourse's fault.

Status: Between all-hands company meetings, and the one guy who has production access being in constant meetings today (and the others being OOF for various reasons), it's goddamned impossible to solve this super high priority production issue and it's starting to piss me off.
-
starting to piss me off
My condolences. Wanna help me sync eight sets of (almost) identical database tables?
-
No, I want to solve this fucking prod issue so I can go home.
-
-
This is usually my work from home day. I said I'd come in because I was on the prod issues on-call list for this week.
This is actually the first time ever I've actually gotten a prod issue that requires changes to prod to fix.
-

That's.... quite lucky. Unfortunately, by the time any issue gets down to me, it's likely to be an actual issue.
Well.... unless people are direct-chatting me with questions on how to make a flipping For Loop.
-
So you're on the on call list for production but they haven't given you production access?
-
I don't want production access.
That's not the problem. The problem is that the people who do have production access are inaccessible. There's a process, but it's impossible to follow the process for people who aren't reading their emails or IMs. So I'm just watching the SLA timer on the ticket slowly count down while I sit here at my desk waiting for the ONE person who I know can handle this ticket be free.

Status: Today has been an odd and draining day.
Our intern (who is less than a month from getting an Associate's degree in programming) got let go today. He lasted 3 weeks. He was a nice guy, didn't seem to be phased by any pressure, but didn't seem to have drive to learn or do. He started strong on one task, but when given a task that required more than copy and paste, it took him the better part of 4 days to get "almost" done (and took me just about an hour to clean up), then on another task he started down a bad path, was told it was wrong, and pretty much tried to "fix it" (wrongly, by the way) instead of reverting and starting over.
Then we went bowling for our lunch break, and after getting back, I'm using the computer the intern ha was using because mine is being prepped to upgrade to Windows 10.
I'm mentally and physically fried today. Planning on going home to unwind by playing in the The Division beta.
-
mine is being prepped to upgrade to Windows 10.
I'm assuming such a thing exists because you have special programs that are not part of an approved System Image that need to be backed up and whatnot?
-
I don't want production access.
Ok, fine.
The problem is that the people who do have production access are inaccessible.
The problem is that someone who's on call relies on someone else for the access to fix it.
Maybe on call is different where I work but I don't see why a company would put someone on the on call list if they don't have the access to fix a high priority issue?
-
My system wasn't even being backed up in the first place. They were getting a backup now, plus switching my primary hard drive to a bigger SSD.

Oh. I still have a lovely 300 Gb spinner. Not seeing any kind of upgrade in the foreseeable future...
-
The problem is that someone who's on call relies on someone else for the access to fix it.
Since prod changes require approvals, it wouldn't make a difference if I did have prod access, because I have nobody to approve them.
-
nobody to approve them.
Well, sounds like your job is pretty relaxed then at the moment. Don't get worked up about things you can't solve, and since you apparently can't solve anything, you should be pretty chill!
Then again, who am I even talking to, after all...
-
Meanwhile, we have customers who can't do the thing they need to do, so no I am not relaxed. And I'm sure everybody's getting all set to point fingers directly at me.
-

Where I work, if there's a high priority issue then that is the approval to do whatever is required to fix it.
For some issues I'd need to get approval afterwards, which is stupid because by the time I've done it and fixed the issue, the approval is somewhat pointless.

That's great, but this is HIPAA data and we get regularly audited so that ain't happening here.

Status: Why do I always make this typo and why is there no GCC warning for it?

So what you're saying is that there is a problem with health care records services, and both you and your customers are surprised enough to be distressed by this state of affairs. YMBN to the medical field.
-
no I am not relaxed
So... exactly what is it you're spending your energy doing then?everybody's getting all set to point fingers directly at me.
Do you not have any CYA tactics already in place? If done correctly, you can redirect any ire pointed at you into the faces of those who dared allow the department bereft of the ability to act.
