Status: Investigated a support issue for "missing records from report". They specified 2 specific records they were missing.
This report runs every day automatically if it has data to report on.
It has erroneously detected that it had no data every single day since early 2011 (some changes went in and the report regressed).
Today's report (post bug fix) is quite large.
Here's the kicker. This report is how the customer is supposed to detect when we miss SLA. They just did the M&A dance and the people who were supposed to be consuming this report did not survive, and apparently rightfully so, because they weren't doing their jobs.

Not OS X1? Or even OS XOne?

So we can set topics to close in Discominutes but they can only close automatically (based on a topic setting) in Discohours?!
Correct:

Status: Playing Quake II on Hard+ again because @mott555 mentioned it a few days ago.
And it seems like the bug in the source port I use that prevented an elevator from working in the first expansion got fixed in the meantime. Yay!

Status: ate brunch, came home to dark-colored water in my basement. Thankfully, it went under the plastic mat that my computer is on. The water appears to have come up through the floor drain.

Your IT situation is scary.

Oh yes it is. Homemade milk gravy is really easy to make and soooooo much better. Brown some sausage, toast a few tablespoons of flour in the rendered fat and then add cold milk and bring it up to a simmer to thicken. Add a bit of salt and a shit load of pepper (maybe 1/4tsp of red pepper flakes if you want your gravy spicy) and you are done.
Gravy is one of those things that has to be fresh made. The starches coagulate when they cool, which makes it rather disgusting.

I think you under estimate my laziness. Also if you want a little hardier taste try corn meal instead of flour.
-
That would be polenta...
Or grits if you are from a former Confederate state. ;-)

If I pull out a @lucas
Is poland one of those abstinence-only places? Just wear a hat, ok.

grits
No grits can be made from cornmeal but that is different from using hominy. Note: I learned to love gravy in the south, need to escape before they infect me more.

Hey, so am I. I do pay for the basement, though.

Quite the opposite, really. We killed off some British politician with our vodka recently...

Found out my employer discontinued HSA contribution matching. Not from my employer. But from my account statement.
Apparently everyone else noticed and got their whining out of the way during healthcare enrollment season. I truly work for the most despicable pile of shitfuckers on the planet. They killed 401K matching a few years ago.
Discourse note: I copypasta'd that from Excel. It pasted the raw text PLUS an image of a table? Did we get a wooden table plugin!?

Status: dad took a plunger to the floor drain. The water went down. Currently lying in bed in a fetal position watching my Dwarf Fortress AI choose an embark:
It chose a site with no trees, no vegetation, and yetis. Well, at least the temperature is reasonable.

I think your woosh here might be due to cultural differences. Abstinence, pull-out and ‘wear a hat’ refer to different methods of birth-control.
-
wear a hat
birth-control
Is "hat" a euphemism, or do you actually put a fedora on your penis?

Nah, that's just caffeine defficiency speaking. That detox was not a good choice...

Putting a fedora on it would have a similar effect. You'd get laughed out of the room before anything happened, so it'd be pretty safe.

Found out my employer discontinued HSA contribution matching.
One of the not-plentiful good things about my current employer is that they really encourage employees to enroll in the high-deductible-plus-HSA health plan, not by matching HSA contributions, but with a yearly lump-sum contribution of 1/2 the annual deductible, regardless of the employee's contribution level or lack thereof.
They killed 401K matching a few years ago.
They have never, to my knowledge, matched 401(k) contributions. OTOH, a former employer made contributions even if the employee didn't..
-
Yeah. We have 4 plan options. All 4 are high deductible plans. There is zero employer participation this year.
Our benefits are basically all employee funded, with the exception of a 1x salary life insurance policy. With the company as a 50 percent beneficiary (to fund the costs of hiring a replacement ).

Status: uninstalling Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web.
In the meanwhile (because it takes about as long as formatting the drive and reinstalling Windows (that's an exaggeration, but still, it's damn slow)), I counted the number of entries it has created in the "uninstall a program" thing. There are 43.
There's a middle ground between "the Unix way" (dumb tiny programs that do just one thing) and those fuckhuge monster programs, people.

A good fedora coupled with good clothes and a coat is about as classy as you can get.
None of that Inspector Gadget style trilby bullshit, though. Proper, wide, flat rim and a fold is a must.

That's nice. Ours changed this year with 401K and HSAs being, erm...means tested. So employees above certain salaries get smaller employer contributions.

Has there been a Dilbert strip with this story yet?

You still want to work for people who pull that sort of shit on you?
