While I was wandering the halls, got a prompt from Maps I've never seen before: "Add a photo of this place".
... uh, I'd get a security violation, but sure, Google, I'll get right on that for you.
Now add a photo of you in this place.
Smile.
Yess... unbutton that shirt. Just one button.
Good. Very good.
Lick your lips.

@heterodox I got one the other day saying that my office (an insurance underwriter, no customer interaction on site) is a popular place for photos. I kind of doubt that
Dick pics. Accountants send a LOT of dick pics.

Due to, among other things, the fact that I haven't gotten any work done in two weeks I have finally taken a drastic, painful decision.
I am quitting the internet for a while. Completely. Cold turkey.

@anonymous234 Good Luck.

Most of the things I had to this week were pointless, not defined yet or impossible. What a slow, boring week.

Yeah, Maps got a little creepy lately. I keep getting prompted in the morning to rate the pubs from last night.
Guys, I barely remember I was in that pub, much less how it was.

The less you remember, the higher the rating?

@CarrieVS Ewww. Open office is bad enough... But hotdesking. Fuck no.
Evil idea: get a Motel6, Super8, etc(all hotels) and place label at each desk.

Successful sign-in in Montenegro, following failed sign-ins from Vietnam and Korea. Never once did the 2FA app on my phone give me an alert asking for approval on a sign-in.
Microsoft fix your crap!

Well, those 2 factor token App must not ever need to have network connection to server to work. Otherwise it'd be Doing-It-Wrong (TM).

@HardwareGeek this one time I sneezed while eating and I had a piece of macaroni stuck in my nose for like 5 months. It was getting to the point where I was wondering if there was really anything up there, and then it just falls back down, a bit squishy for its tenure but still tasting just like macaroni and cheese should taste.
-
@anotherusername I... I... I have no words.
-
@HardwareGeek the worst part was, it still felt like there was something up there... I finally ended up going to a specialist and having him run a scope up each side and verify that no, there was in fact not anything left in my nose.
-
@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:

Yeah, mine too, but it definitely feels a lot less like there's something there than it did when there really was something there. it's only been a few hours, so I'm not concerned; I figure it's probably some irritation from the sauce that was part of lunch. I have a chronic runny nose, so it will flush any residue out soon enough.
-

Yeah, it did. Still felt enough like there was something up there that I finally went and had it checked, though.

Well, now we've been told the postal fact, we're in the period of time after learning it, so yes, we're in a post postal fact world. :p

@JazzyJosh Damn you - that's half of my day off you've wasted now!

Since employers these days around here decided that technical skills are worthless and they promote based on behavioral stuff, I think the optimal strategy is to play dumb, and pretending you've had to put a lot of effort to come up with the same solutions.

Status: Managed to trip the circuit breaker for the car's rear window wiper. Then proceeded to pry the offending circuit breaker loose under much sweating and cursing.
After having done so, discovered the sentence: "And to easily remove a circuit breaker, simply use the included pliers on the back of the dashboard cover" in the manual.
Now wondering where to get a single 10A flat circuit breaker from. They only seem to be sold in packs of ten and I don't really foresee them burning out that often.

"Export" is a funny word for "getting stolen and transported to Poland". (paging @Maciejasjmj )

Junkyard is the German word for "Volkswagen dealership", right ?

Status: Off to the doc to talk about my MRI results and find out why my ankle has been hurting nonstop for the past three months. The top two contenders right now (based on my Internet research ) are a contusion on the talus (best-case scenario because it means full recovery, albeit very long and slow), or damaged/torn cartilage near the talus (worst-case scenario because that kind of injury never really heals properly and will force unwanted lifestyle change on me, and I'm way too young for that crap).
Answer: Neither. There was nothing in the MRI to explain my pain.
New hypothesis: The MRI didn't show anything because my injury was almost completely healed by then. I am actually in no pain today, for the first time in three months. Hopefully it stays that way.

Status: On holiday! Yay! Going to be heading to Houston on Sunday , but got some time to relax first (and pack my bags too).
Down-side though is that I've picked up a nasty little cough from somewhere so I'm missing out on the concert I had tickets for this evening. :(

The best thing about Remembrance/Veteran's Day are the SALES! What better way to honor the mega-corporations who get tax breaks from pretending to care about veterans. Go out there and celebrate the true heroes-- the marketing team who made the saccharine-sweet commercial about a little kid doing something heartwarming with a veteran, and then pasted their company logo all over it. Don't worry-- it was focused group extensively.
And Never Forget... that on Nov 12th, those commercials will stop airing and those meag-corps will continue to fight for the right to cut as many mental and physical health benefits as possible for veterans, to SERVE and PROTECT the bottom line of their profits.
Happy Veteran's Dayâ„¢ Sponsored by Bell.
