[03:35:04] -!- mode/#editorial [+v mrpg] by Hephaestus
[03:43:09] <mrpg> hello.
[03:47:07] <mrpg> iss tourists - ready
[03:47:19] <mrpg> and set for 2/2 20:02 hahaha
[04:06:06] <Bytram> mrpg: hello!
[04:06:18] <mrpg> Hi how are you?
[04:06:33] <Bytram> I see we have similar thoughts... twice I picked a story to work on and found you were already on it! Good for you!
[04:06:40] <Bytram> tired, but good. You?
[04:06:54] <mrpg> Fine. Are we interested in "Microsoft Office 2019" ?
[04:07:04] * Bytram didn't notice that one...
[04:07:06] <Bytram> just a moment
[04:07:20] <Bytram> ahh, a new sub
[04:07:54] <mrpg> I was trying to put another story in, I wanna keep my 22:22 story :-)
[04:08:05] * Bytram chuckles
[04:08:13] <Bytram> hmm
[04:08:30] * Bytram is confused with this sentence:
[04:08:31] <Bytram> "Microsoft revealed today that Office 2019 will ship in the second half of 2018, and will run exclusively on Windows 10"
[04:08:54] <Bytram> Isn't there a (flavor of) Office that runs on the Mac and IIRC Android, too?
[04:09:09] <Bytram> preolly on he iPhone, too for that matter
[04:09:30] <mrpg> I think there was some abridged version.
[04:09:36] <Bytram> ahh, that could be it
[04:10:01] <Bytram> only the full-blown version of Office 2019 would run on windows 10
[04:10:10] <Bytram> not quite right
[04:10:32] <Bytram> The full-blown version of Office 2019 would only run on Windows 10.
[04:10:57] <Bytram> but, presumably, abridged versions could run on other platforms?
[04:11:09] * Bytram thinks of Office 365.
[04:11:23] <mrpg> I dont know, I use libreoffice. I dont do drugs either :-)
[04:11:30] <Bytram> goodman!
[04:11:39] <Bytram> s/d/\1 /
[04:11:51] <Bytram> ~sed on
[04:11:52] <exec> sed already enabled for 10#editorial
[04:12:13] <mrpg> I'll do the Plumbing the depths of women’s bladders may shower researchers with viral gold.
[04:12:25] <Bytram> anyway, I should really be heading to bed soon... really glad to see you at things
[04:12:28] <Bytram> teamwork++
[04:12:28] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 156
[04:12:52] <mrpg> Thank you, go rest.
[04:13:06] <Bytram> the author of that piece, Beth Mole, has a well-deserved reputation for [horriblly-entertaining] puns
[04:13:14] <mrpg> hehehe
[04:13:23] <Bytram> in that particular story, she goes for the gold!
[04:13:36] <Bytram> wouldn't hurt to add an ed note to that effect.
[04:14:49] <mrpg> Like what? I wasnt gonna put it in.
[04:14:51] <Bytram> "The author of this piece, Beth Mole, has a well-deserved reputation for sprinkling puns throughout her work and in this instance goes for the gold!"
[04:15:31] <mrpg> I'll leave it to you for Saturday.
[04:15:40] <Bytram> I noticed on the order of 10 puns in that one story, alone =)
[04:16:02] <mrpg> I'll do the disengagement cars one
[04:17:03] <Bytram> nah, I submitted the Beth Mole story (via MrPlow) I really shouldn't accept it, too. (though I could 2nd it)
[04:18:38] <mrpg> right.
[04:19:24] <Bytram> There's not an absolute prohibition, per se, but it is only in very extenuating circumstances that I've accepted and pushed out a story that I submitted. Probably on the order of less than 0.1 %, if that.
[04:20:02] <Bytram> The majority of *those* being site anniversary or site update stories
[04:21:04] <mrpg> Good protocol.
[04:21:39] <mrpg> It's late, I have to sleep.
[04:21:47] <mrpg> Take care, bye :-)
[04:22:12] <Bytram> It can get pretty tempting to self-submit and accept something about one feels strongly and then lather on self-justification to excuse it.
[04:22:22] <Bytram> mrpg: thanks again!
[04:22:40] <mrpg> Welcome, I do my part for the good of the Republic.
[04:23:16] <Bytram> sweet dreams
[04:23:22] <Bytram> think I'll do the same
[04:23:23] <Bytram> laters
[04:23:27] <mrpg> Bye.
[04:23:33] -!- mrpg has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[12:49:00] <Bytram> reminder that next stories should prolly go to weekend spacing (about every 2h21m)

[18:35:48] <janrinok> mmm flapjacks
[18:36:19] <cmn32480> but only a tablespoon full
[18:36:35] <janrinok> well, there's gratitude for you!
[18:38:43] <cmn32480> I don't have any gratitude today
[18:38:46] * janrinok notes that cmn is doing his usual trick of only responding every 5 minutes or so, then he will claim that he is 'working'
[18:39:01] <cmn32480> cprrect
[18:39:13] <cmn32480> I'm actuallyl on a conf call
[18:39:20] <janrinok> your typing has improved - only 1 mistake in that word
[18:39:20] <cmn32480> banging my head on the desk
[18:39:25] <janrinok> do tell me more
[18:39:39] * cmn32480 thinks janrinok is only being polite
[18:39:59] <cmn32480> and failing, I might add
[18:40:26] <janrinok> are you banging your head in rhythm with some music or at frustration of something happening around you?
[18:41:40] <cmn32480> frustration mostly
[18:41:51] <janrinok> fill in the details
[18:41:51] <cmn32480> idiots frustrate me
[18:42:04] <janrinok> ah, should I leave then...?
[18:42:29] <cmn32480> my new guy has decided that he is going to moonlight...
[18:42:48] <cmn32480> doig the same job we are paying him for
[18:43:08] <janrinok> but taking your contacts and contracts?
[18:43:24] <cmn32480> and he wants to do it as a consultant
[18:43:28] <cmn32480> no
[18:43:38] <cmn32480> basically competeing with us
[18:43:52] <cmn32480> and instead of bringing the business to us as his employer, he wants to take some of it himself
[18:44:06] <janrinok> not a lot you can do about that
[18:44:41] <cmn32480> there is one thing that I can do
[18:44:47] <janrinok> stop paying him?
[18:45:04] <cmn32480> yup
[18:45:23] <janrinok> problem solved, although that doesn't help you longterm
[18:46:38] <janrinok> did you interview personally?
[18:52:39] <cmn32480> we did.
[18:53:41] <janrinok> cos that means you can also give him a slap around the head when you fire him - at least that's if I understand employment law ...
[18:54:59] <cmn32480> i wish
[18:55:28] <janrinok> US law must be different
[18:55:45] <cmn32480> yes
[18:58:52] <janrinok> so what is the plan?
[19:03:23] <cmn32480> first ai shall stop banign my head on the desk
[19:03:37] <janrinok> wise decision
[19:04:39] <cmn32480> I shall next seek the council of someone wiser than me who is familiar wiht the situation
[19:04:58] <janrinok> well that's me out on a number of counts
[19:05:39] * janrinok still recommends that you slap him around the head a bit
[19:43:10] <janrinok> got to go - cheers cmn32480
