[04:07:26] * Bytram wanders in and takes up a comfy seat by the fire to rest his weary bones after getting home from a late shift at work.
[04:12:38] <Fnord666> Evening Bytram
[04:12:48] <Fnord666> long day today eh?
[04:19:40] <Bytram> longer than usual
[04:19:50] <Bytram> a co-worker called out -- feeling sick.
[04:20:13] <Bytram> I went in a couple hours early to help pick up the slack
[04:20:53] <Bytram> oh, and it snowed all day long -- and heaviest just before it was time for me to go home
[04:21:36] <Fnord666> of course
[04:21:47] <Bytram> that ensured I had plenty to try and clear off my car and a few inches of snow on all the roads on my way home (including an interstate highway)
[04:22:15] <Bytram> my top speed was ~40 mph
[04:23:17] <Fnord666> best to get home safe though
[04:23:41] <Bytram> better safe than sorry^W dead
[04:23:43] <Bytram> that said, I have a job, food to eat, and a place safe from the weather to sleep that is nice and warm.
[04:23:55] <Bytram> aka luxury problems
[04:24:06] <Fnord666> yup
[04:24:15] <Fnord666> first world problems as they say
[04:24:40] <Bytram> as I heard someone describe it a few years ago: "I have problems in areas that I didn't even have areas before!"
[04:25:14] <Fnord666> I like that
[04:25:38] * Bytram thought you might =)
[04:26:27] <Bytram> I also noticed that you and JR have been taking turns at pushing out 9-10 stories at a time !!!
[04:26:49] <Bytram> Can't thank you enough!
[04:26:52] <Fnord666> teamwork++
[04:26:52] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 216
[04:26:59] <Bytram> indeed!
[04:27:02] <Bytram> teamwork++
[04:27:03] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 217
[04:27:13] <Bytram> brb
[04:27:16] <Fnord666> I think he's trying to keep me from catching up to him. :)
[04:30:06] <Fnord666> not really of course and I really appreciate all the stories he has been pushing out!
[04:30:19] <Bytram> :: laughter ::
[04:31:06] <Bytram> well, from *my* perspective, it looks like both of you are hell-bent on trying to catch up with me!
[04:31:23] <Fnord666> oh heck yes
[04:32:28] * Bytram can't wait until mid-january when inventory is done and I might even have some spare time to apply to the site.
[04:32:56] <Fnord666> oh yeah, inventory. ugh
[04:33:52] <Bytram> yup
[04:35:14] <Bytram> fortunately, for us, it only takes a couple days to do, but it's the prep work to make sure everything is *properly* tagged that takes a huge part of the time...
[04:36:15] <Bytram> that, and the distribution center really doesn't want to count any more than they have to, so they are trying like crazy to get everything they can shipped to the stores.
[04:36:48] <Fnord666> lol
[04:37:21] <Fnord666> How much stuff ends up "in between" during inventory?
[04:38:13] <Bytram> for instance, we got 4 totes (about 2' x 2' x 3') of new stuff in a couple days ago, along with about 60 loose boxes of stuff totaling about 32 cubic feet
[04:38:25] <Bytram> there is a cut-off p
[04:38:52] <Bytram> there is a cut-off point where shipping between locations is supposed to stop -- musical stores
[04:41:13] <Fnord666> gotcha
[04:41:14] <Bytram> whereto? http://feedproxy.google.com
[04:41:15] <systemd> ^ 03CRISPR scientist who made gene-edited babies sentenced to 3 years in prison ( https://www.cnet.com )
[04:49:09] <Fnord666> inateresting
[04:50:41] <Fnord666> Wow He really got slapped down hard.
[04:50:51] <Fnord666> both legally and scientifically
[04:51:50] <Bytram> I take that as a good thing
[04:52:20] <Fnord666> Certainly from a legal and ethical stasndpoint
[04:52:46] <Fnord666> I was curious about the science though and what they were trying to achieve
[04:52:53] <Bytram> messing around with DNA as He did... it's not just that one person that is affected, it's in the germline so *all* of their progeny would also inherit the changes
[04:53:02] <Fnord666> apparently the science was shite also
[04:53:07] <Bytram> yep
[04:53:32] <Bytram> just subbed a story on it... have a bunch of or prior stories on it.

[08:46:20] <janrinok> Fnord666, I set myself the goal of reaching 5000 stories before S had her recent deterioration and hospital visit. I am still determined to get there, but once I do I will be slowing down my contribution. It is time for other editors to step up to the plate. Don't worry, you will be passed me in a very short time. :)
[23:11:41] <Bytram> janrinok: Congratulations on posting your 4,900th story!! And... you snuck it in before the new year!! =)
