Seems harmless enough. But 300 years later . . .

Rats! I missed the opportunity to become a Hive King?!?!

 

There was an internal job posting several weeks back for one of our CubeSats. But it would have involved overseeing subcontractors and not doing any real design myself. No thanks.

That hasn't stopped any other manager I know of.

LOL. That rings true.

The CEO of the company I contract to is also the chief software engineer, responsible for the code of about half of the products now.

Speaking of software: did anybody figure out a script or something to extract the Data needed to repair all those badly formatted customer accounts?

 

The ones you were dreading taking 2-3 days of tedium to fix. 
 

Is that a done deal?

 

Something like this-?-if possible:

Scan all accounts

Flag wrong accounts

Extract good data from said accounts into spreadsheet. 
 

(Manually?) Fix fouled up data fields in spreadsheet. 
 

Find all flagged accounts 

Replace each with corresponding corrected data from spreadsheet. 
 

Maybe that is two scripts(?)

Everytime  I follow a YouTube link I end up in a rabbit hole of one video after another.  But oddly, it isn’t adorbsable kitten videos, like you’d expect. (As it once was.)
 

Now it is all clips from Sharpe

 

(about a soldier/officer fighting in the Napoleonic Wars.)

Some of those history programs have proven to be very educational time sinks.

Needs to rearrange a few things in living room to have a dedicated spot for the new 3d printer that will be shipping later this week...  Three months ago, I did some of said rearranging, and said I had plenty of time.  Yeah, that package arrives in less than a week and I still haven't done the rest of that rearranging, whoops.  I should probably do such this weekend then, and plug a few things back in, eh?

Customer has not provided payment information, so no work has been done. 

I'm not following up with her either - ball is in her court until she pays or inquires about status.  TBH< I had forgotten about her again until you asked. 

Once she's paid up, I'll look into seeing if there is a more efficient way of doing it.

Went on a wee bit of an email rant yesterday at work. a rotating carousel with about 40 people riding along. My request that someone tell me what to tell (not their real names) John or Bob or “ImportantIndividual627” so that work could continue got a chuckle. Didn’t realize the irony in II627 until a reply stating that they laughed. Originally it was RandomIndividual627 but felt that was getting too snarky.
