[15:13:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> eight hours to make a living, eight hours to live, eight hours to sleep. weekends off.

[15:12:37] <janrinok> it was less than 1 million when the story first broke. I sniff a big insurance claim coming ...
[15:11:59] <janrinok> the value of the jewelry is increasing as the story gets more traction
[15:11:55] <cmn32480> that should be on the main page.... we could be the next TMZ.

[15:10:55] <janrinok> but you guys seem to accept working much longer hours than we do over here in Europe.
[15:09:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> pointless jobs is a misnomer anyway. someone obviously sees point enough to pay people to do them.
[15:07:42] <janrinok> we received it as a sub in early September I think, but it only reached the top of the pile yesterday as the sub queues ran down over the w/e
[15:06:34] <weeds> The story actual ran on NPR. I think it was last week.

[15:03:41] <janrinok> nope, just a routine Monday for most of us. You?
[15:03:18] <weeds> good morning janrinok, much going on today?

[14:55:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> had to haul off a truck n trailer load of shit yesterday then another truck n partial trailer load this morning.

[14:54:56] <janrinok> win!
[14:54:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> janrinok, just getting done working.
[14:54:46] <cmn32480> likely both
[14:54:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, roomie's old house is now completely empty of all the crap he didn't wanna take to TN.

[14:52:28] * cmn32480 hands janrinok stronger glasses
[14:52:19] <cmn32480> fair enough
[14:50:46] <janrinok> I struggle to read IRC, tea leaves seems to be a bit beyond me
[14:50:23] <cmn32480> but I guess that answers the question of "do you read your tea leaves?"
[14:50:08] <janrinok> the French idea of tea is diametrically opposed to the UK idea
[14:50:00] <cmn32480> I'm rather surprised, asctually
[14:49:40] <cmn32480> interesting
[14:49:31] <janrinok> bags, but only because that is the only way the French seem to sell tea
[14:33:57] <cmn32480> do you use bags, or loose leaf?
[14:33:25] <janrinok> oh, I'm drinking tea - that is sustenance for a Brit, not merely 'drinking'
[14:33:00] <cmn32480> just a little spash in the afternoon tea
[14:32:51] <cmn32480> it's almost tea time...
[14:32:35] <janrinok> give it another hour here, then I might
[14:32:20] <cmn32480> taht calls for a celebration... time to start drinking!
[14:31:40] <cmn32480> all things considered, I mena
[14:31:07] <cmn32480> excellent

[14:20:01] <cmn32480> sorry..t rying to do the day job (and yes, I'm leaving early today.)

[14:07:50] <boru> Yeah, it struck a nerve with me, since I've been burned in companies before.
[14:05:59] <janrinok> boru, that's an interesting read, thanks
[14:01:34] <janrinok> phys.org works well when used with the logs but doesn't like the -u option, yet the modules and code are one and the same ... I'll have to look at that again
[14:00:28] <cmn32480> phys.org was one of them.
[13:59:28] <cmn32480> yeah.. I tried that on the version we were messing with the other day. some sites just shit the bed
[13:57:16] <janrinok> let me know how you find the output of the -u option. As I say, I'm not very impressed with the failure rate
[13:56:32] <janrinok> lol, now I hate them too
[13:56:23] <cmn32480> that is what I was planning to do when the fuckers cornered me on the phone
[13:56:20] <janrinok> or feet, metres
[13:56:11] <cmn32480> dunno.. haven't tried the version from yesterday yet
[13:55:59] <cmn32480> if you do the distance in kilometeres it looks even further
[13:55:49] <janrinok> good eh?
[13:55:41] <cmn32480> you fixed arthur
[13:55:38] <cmn32480> nah I woudln't punch you

[13:54:38] * cmn32480 woudl prefer to reach out and punch someone

[13:53:40] <cmn32480> I'm hoping I can invoke the rnew rule that the customer is gonna get billed for the time, and the money comes direct to me via my expenses
[13:53:40] <boru> I try to read this once a month: https://gist.github.com
[13:53:06] <cmn32480> I was boiling pissed
[13:53:03] <boru> I'd at least ask for a few days off to decompress if you're not going to get paid for it. That's downright wrong, man.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> THIS IS THE LAST FREE AFTER HOURS SUPPORT THEY ARE GOING TO GET.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> IF THEY WANT A 24 HOUR SERVICE CONTRACT THEY CAN PAY FOR IT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
[13:52:16] <cmn32480> THEY NEED TO GET BILLED FOR THIS. EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE 3 HOUR AFTER-HOURS CONFERENCE CALL FROM THE OTHER DAY WAS GETTING PAID EXCEPT US. LONNIE SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THAT 3 HOUR CALL AFTER HOURS COST THEM ABOUT $10,000, OF WHICH RMS DIDN’T GET A DIME. NOW I AM GETTING ON THE PHONE WITH THEM AT 10PM ON A &^*()%&^(%&*)ING SUNDAY! AND AGAIN WE ARE NOT GETTING PAID. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
[13:51:33] <cmn32480> I basically told the rep that this was the absolute last time this custoemr was going to get any support out of hours without a contract.
[13:51:03] <cmn32480> boru - I seriously considered that last night
[13:48:51] <janrinok> did you threaten to send him hiking with the scouts?
[13:48:47] <boru> Sometimes a strongly worded email doesn't cut it; send them a pipe bomb instead.
[13:48:20] <cmn32480> remains to be seen. I sent a VERY nasty emial to the salesrep and the VP of Service
[13:47:52] <janrinok> no, for working yesterday evening
[13:47:27] <cmn32480> breaking my ankle? I paid for that privilege
[13:47:10] <janrinok> do you get paid overtime for that, or is it all in the day's work?
[13:46:25] <janrinok> blame the ground, good idea
[13:46:12] <cmn32480> proper trail maintenance
[13:45:47] <boru> Footwear with proper ankle support.
[13:45:40] <janrinok> cmn32480 is just a wimp. All the scouts were fine, but cmn, oh no, he has to hurt himself
[13:45:27] <cmn32480> yeah.. that doesbn't help when the ankle rolls\
[13:45:10] <boru> Steel toe caps, old chap.
[13:44:56] <cmn32480> least you dind't break it like I did boru
[13:44:25] <boru> I did, actually. My boot hit my manager's arse with such force, whilst defenestrating him, that it caused me injury.
[13:43:47] <janrinok> ... again
[13:43:37] <janrinok> but look at the bright side, at least you didn't sprain your ankle
[13:43:08] <boru> That's probably one of the few things I like about my current gig -- not customer facing. I do, however, have to put up with moronic management...
[13:42:44] <cmn32480> 2 hours and 19 minutes on the phone with a bunch of idiots who had 2 weeks to test shit out and waited until 2 hours before they went live in the warehouse.
