I literally saw that post after having a stupid new cabling standard explained to me. Turns out we're going to put the full cabinet details of every single hop on both ends of every cable. This will have zero downsides I am sure...

I've been on the opposite side of that meeting in an even more soul destroying way. Turns out that when your primary call driver is "kids spending thousands on imaginary football players in FIFA games" or "buying all the CoD map packs" and the solution is "make it obvious that these cost real money" Activision and EA will happily sit on a conference call for hours and tell you that it's actually impossible and you just gotta do your job better.

I probably know the answer to this, but I assume remote working for that sort of thing isn't an option?

I'm not sure what Vogonesque procedure is needed for me to get remote work, but not having it means I'm not on call.

It's not really a ticket yet because no one has asked me about it but someone is just hammering away trying to process invoices off of a handheld and its not working because they were already entered elsewhere so it's duplicates They're really hammering that button the system events log is full of that error

I love the freedom of working from home, I like to sleep in, and I don't like to dress up. I'd happily show up at an office at 8 AM in a suit if it meant I never had to be on call again.

Our on calls aren't so bad, and I like the extra money. Also, my work is a 20-minute walk from my home, so I tend to avoid working from home; I like the physical and psychological separation between my home and my work.

drat a 20min walk to work sounds excellent. I don't think my 20min drive is even that bad, but there's no way it's as good as not being in a chair/seat.

I got a nice long taste of wfh and I don’t ever want to go back to full time in the city. I don’t know how I stayed sane before, maybe I didn’t. At most I do 2 days per week in the office now.

I have a <10 minute walk to work - quicker on the way home because the traffic gets so backed up I don't have to wait for cross-signals. The quality of life gain is amazing.

My workplace is a 35 minute walk for me. But why do that when I can drive it in 7? (I can't even ride a motorcycle to work most of the time because it's a school district and we cover 10 different buildings all around town)

I ride my bike to my job (but I don't do any computer work at the moment). When you can bypass construction and ride off road, it's great!

Why don't you all just use a bicycle? It's faster than walking *and* good exercise.

I have about a 10m walk as well, the worst thing I have to deal with is Greenpeace petitioners on corners. It's worth more than a few thousand bucks to me, and honestly I'm sometimes afraid that I'm going to let my career stagnate just to keep the nothing commute.

If I need to do something after work it’s not practical most of the time to bike home, shower, change, and drive to wherever. Also I have a 3.5 mile bike ride on streets and a 7.5 mile scenic route on MUP. I’ll take the scenic when I want it - the short route in the afternoon has a lot of traffic and assholes who don’t respect bikes. I don’t walk to work anymore after days in a row of cars leaning on the horn and turning ahead of me against a red when I had the crosswalk. Not worth it.

Everything was fine when I was working in email, chat, etc. But as soon as I had to SSH into something I noped the gently caress out of there. 660ms *average* round-trip means typing is a nightmare.

Does anyone else have "Due dates" on tickets? This is a new thing for me, and I find them generally pointless. Personal opinion is that as long as there is regular activity from our end, I'm happy. Sure a ticket may have a hard date of needing completion, but that can just be listed in the ticket (Server must be installed on the 5th, etc). Thoughts?
