@jestdotty A p s y c h o l o g i s t. Hahahaa!

@jestdotty Good guidelines will include every basic category, but that is indeed not nice of her.

Al Pacino: "...don't waste my mf'ing tiiime!"

@jestdotty You are right - they don't know and they don't care. It bothers me that they don't care but then I have to adapt to the fact they don't care and start not caring that they don't care. lol. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one worth calling Engineer because I take it seriously. Everyone else is always 'throwing **** together' just to please Business and it bothers me. I ****ing hate maintenance jobs. Let me create beautiful stuff!

Forums! Ah yes, the time-unbound (or should be) way! Good call.

Yeah... people try to get away with bs and move on with their bs. lol

@DivSyntax Interesting... at all the companies I have been I always had to adhere to a strict 'no using internet for personal use/fun' rule.

@jestdotty Hm.. that was an interesting article to read and it also seems to refer to the caves. Yeah, doctors.. they're not always good. It's good to research on your own and I hope you discover useful findings. I hope you are ok and will be.

@jestdotty It's a list of professional behaviors you should exert to stay out of trouble. They are usually given to you as a booklet upon hiring.

Examples:

- don't bully

- don't discriminate

- don't leak information

@donkulator Standard company procedure for the standard process of time-logging so that the Main department can bill us correctly. How do you do it at your company? lol

@BordedDev Not that often.. becaaaause.. The Finance Department has to approve it first. Woohoow, bureaucracy.

That sounds exactly like programming! Yeah.. they're so institutionalized into their lack of self-respect that to them it's just normal and simple.

"Haha yeah let's change the entire company's tech stack, hardware and software, in 48 hours, np"

The importance of prompt engineering.

@jestdotty So wait a minute.. you basically:

do {

nag();

} while(!answered);?

lol. I know I bother the **** out of coworkers by asking them questions in a Socrates manner:

me: "Why is this used this way?"

colleague: "Because useful to use this way. Don't care about the rest. Who gives a ****"

me: "But then why and how is it useful?"

colleague: "Because then faster. For the rest, don't care about it"

me: "But I still don't understand. Why this way when you can do that way?"

colleague: -lost patience-

I just do{why();}while(!crystal_clear);

So.. practically nobody has patience to 'deal' with me. lol

@jestdotty A fight, hm? Company guidelines... ;p

@jestdotty /time set day (jk lol Minecraft jokes). Circadian rhythm adjustments? Hm. Interesting note: in deep, cold mineral caves underground people perceive time differently (2x slower).

@cafecortado After logging in then. lmao

@Lensflare Yes, I am.

@jestdotty /send jesdotty 300 time

@retoor We don't have a PlayStation. lmao...

@retoor tf.ogg

@retoor Sometimes you're reading about people getting smashed.

@retoor I don't attend happy hour. lol

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...

Perhaps a misconfigured proxy server (chain), or some stuck spool file/unresponsive messaging queue, etc. I would talk to the Sysadmins or the backend devs.

@retoor Excellent!

@jestdotty That reminds me of the analogy that your brain hard drive has to purge yesterday's page file (sleep) before it can store and access new information efficiently. Not doing so will leave you feeling sluggish (access from hdd rather than memory). I understand that feeling.

What's this? What's this? A recursive advice! What's this! ♫ Yes, self-knowledge is wisdom. You hold the mirror to your own reality and you shape it. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the wisest of them all? lmfao. It is good to know thyself - it saves more energy.

@jestdotty NnnoooOOOOoooOOoooo. I function without it. : D Though it's nice to enjoy once in a while.

@retoor And you think you like it!

@jestdotty I got sent away like a dog. It was kind of crap, but good riddance there.

What kind of attitude do they have? lol. It's good to challenge yourself and grow. Yes, people who go big mouth when they don't have knowledge are very irritating. lmao the html thing.

@jestdotty Baah.. I tried the busy thing. The same annoying person still pinged me. What works is going offline altogether, or setting yourself to meeting indefinitely. lmao

Yes, contexts carry over.

Thankfully I can book meeting rooms for people to leave me the bleep alone. Even then.. sometimes someone thinks it's funny to knock and ask me through the window if I'm going to join their stupid party. No, I'm not. lol

I read somewhere that e-mails in the morning is throwing off your concentration. I try to automate things as much as possible in software. Swish, swish, e-mail filters. Hah. If from management_software and task_assigned > move to tasks. If from newsletter > idgaf. If from jira, filter it out to separate folders.

@jestdotty Thankfully I hate silent mode on my OS, which is great. Management just likes to point fingers lol.

Sorry to hear about your situations. We must find the best environments.

It's not always easy to tell people off politely - another skill for me to learn. Even to some are so dense that I politely tell them I'm currently occupied on something else, they still hammer on as if it can't wait. The manager referencing is nice. lmao. Managing expectations.. requires such energy. No wonder I'm tired lately.

@jestdotty Management sur likes to get their grubby hands on everything and pretend they're managing. lol.

Oh, but what about having meetings to discuss the scope and requirements? Well.. write them down. Okay, sure, you can have separate meetings to discuss uncertainties.

In a lucky world you get a tester. In a less lucky world you are all roles: dev, tester, DBA, analyst, etc. Fun huh? And then getting snarked at for not writing enough (types of) tests. Spending 1/3rd of your time testing the hell out of everything. lol. "You wrote it, it's your responsibility".

I've had those annoying "this is the way we do things here" meetings, with a PM specifically. Yes, that's annoying. I also agree on the progress notes - just put them in jira or SharePoint. lmao. And the annoying thing of having to keep in mind eeeeeverything everyone is doing on the project because "team" bla bla.

Yes, ridiculous.
