In BlueJeans you'll usually get the "X is talking" notification a split second before you hear them speak, which is sometimes enough to stop you from accidentally interrupting. Other than that there's no fixing how networking works, but managing those microdelays in your head is absolutely a skill you'll get better at.

cyberbug posted:I started working from home on 9th of March and I have to say that pretty much all the teleconference/videocall tools suck rear end. Slack, MS Teams, Hangouts, Gotomeeting, all of them are so goddamn simplistic for actual work. Like, just to pull a recent example, you have 15 people join a call and the presenter says: "Since most of us haven't met yet, can you all briefly introduce yourselves Your first mistake was caring in the least. IDGAF what happens on calls because: 1) I’m muting myself and only talking when I’m asking someone to repeat whatever question directed towards me because I wasn’t paying attention 2) blocking video because  no3) only listening for my name while I play video games on my other computer that is actually sitting in front of me

The mic on my work laptop is bust so I can only contribute (which isn't often, granted, but when I do its normally something like 'actually they aren't doing X testing there anymore, patients need to go to Y) via the text chat on Microsoft Teams. Which no one ever has open and as far as I can tell there's no "pay attention to me" button. I'm not buying a headset, they can send me one if they want. Oh and the E and F2 keys both come off regularly.

I always make fancier food for season finales and somehow believed this season of Better Call Saul had three more episodes to go (they actually announced the next one will be 13). So I just ate a regular dinner without the ceremony

My house is too big. We're about to have a friend move in for a while. However, whenever they move out, there's no way we're going to use all of this place. 2600+ sq. feet for two people that work all the time. No kids and not dog, yet. 1/4 acre in the city and a drat fine price. But... I might get in shape from moving end to end.

There is a bug in my apartment. Tried smushing it with a paper towel, but it scurried away to god-knows-where. Now, the only rational thing is to basically live in fear until it shows its face/body/etc again.

I’m trying to buy hair clippers and I’m so mad that it’s sold out absolutely everywhere because of people like this. Even on Facebook people in my town have obviously bought out stock and are selling kits for a $50 markup and above. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/epgymw/resellers-are-making-dumbbells-and-hair-clippers-impossible-to-find-online

Motherfucking plain white onions are sold out. How many onions are you using a week you cretins. Pork is also gone and i get it. There's a problem at the processing plant and pork might be hard to come by for a while. But how many onions can a person even eat a day.

Bought a bunch of books for my birthday, thinking I would have some new reading material for my train rides to work once we're out of lockdown. That was a month ago and I've already burnt through one with a second book almost finished (out of seven), instead of just playing video games in my free time like I should be doing.

I have jury duty on Tuesday, I’m scheduled to be there early in the morning, and being furloughed has extremely hosed up my sleep schedule. Preserving people’s right to a speedy trial with a jury of their peers during a pandemic is a whole other first world problem. Dr Christmas has a new favorite as of 05:55 on Apr 26, 2020 |

Apparently there was a cyberattack on the ordering systems for beer here and there's been distribution problems, which I guess explains why it's been hard to get our favourite beer for the past couple of weeks. The world is poo poo and we're sad and isolated, why take our beer away just for the gently caress of it.

My friend/coworker applied for a job with the state a few weeks ago, and got an email to do some online testing. Kinda crab bucket mentality here, because I want him to be happy, but gently caress, how often do you keep contact with friends you make at work, and then they move on to another place? I will miss him something horrible if he gets it, but if he does, it'll be great money for him.

Which reminds me: the Witcher on Netflix sucked. For a show combining monsters, magic, tits, swords, kings, and dragons, it was incredibly boring. Only Sucker Punch managed to take interesting subjects and make them more boring.

I've got some succulents that are super leggy (fancy term for not getting enough lighting*, so they get super tall and thin to try and get to the light), which I should probably do that thing where you basically slice-and-dice bits of your plant off to spawn new plants and basically start over, but I barely have enough room/space for the amount I have, much less "what if this one badly growing plant becomes, like, eight" room. * Bonus FWP of "I have grow lights literally beaming on you, plus the sun, what the gently caress do you want")

Mu Zeta posted:Unemployment is paying a little too well right now and wearing masks all day sucks. I haven't gotten unemployment yet despite applying for it. They're trying to resolve "non-monetary issue" that the website doesn't specify. My job said they'd be going through sick pay during the time off, so I put that on the unemployment form, and maybe I entered it wrong? Still, I have a bunch of money saved up, and I live with my dad and sister so it's lively enough around the house and I have little in the way of expenses. I can go for nice walks in my suburb while still remaining distant. I was blindsided by the call, and I said yes. I realize I'm complaining while being financially well off in a crisis, but this is the place to do it. poo poo, I don’t want to go back to work.

I've been called back to work starting Monday, and I haven't fished all the spots I'd planned yet. I'm also realising that puttering about the house, dropping off the kids late and picking them up early was actually very, very nice and relaxing. Looking forward to getting back and reconnecting with my team, but I feel like it's also a bit inconvenient

I took the covid19 test today and it kind of sucks. They stick a thing pretty deep up your nose for a long time (10+ seconds) and your eyes start to water. They actually give you a kleenex in advance because people apparently cry a lot.
