It’s so awful. I love it.

I have to finish it before my baby is born. I can’t expose her to this wonderful garbage during her formative years.

God that’s so true. Even the successful “normal” ones are train wrecks.

The wedding speech by that girls brother... andrei and Elizabeth. I thought the brother was going to get actually murdered

And honestly the dude who was posted above, paul, is a star. He’s such a loser it’s legendary. He took his wife and baby to a sewage treatment plant as a vacation, to show how great the USA is and why she should be happy living in a trailer with a bunch of dogs

I've transported multiple folks, multiple times each, with .35+ BACs that are pleading for help. There isn't really a drat thing we can do since the hospital sobers them up and they change their mind, saying they don't need help and didn't mean it when they said they did.

It's heartbreaking.

Daniel's always had a pretty goofy looking form and his posture, especially while in his gi(?), is terrible too. There's a shot of him in one of the final few episodes and his shoulders are forward and his back is hunched while you're looking at him straight on. I don't know if he was flexing trying to look bigger or what but he looked ridiculous.

Still gonna watch season 4 tho

His elbows are always out of place and if i got more into detail I’ll sound like a karate autist but yeah he’s just so awkward looking. You can tell he hasn’t kept up too much because he’s insanely stiff - which I fully respect because he’s 50+

I think I need to give up woodworking as a hobby. Not because I don't like it, but because every time I make a mistake, I have to explain it to my wife, then I have to hear about it from her what I should have done. Then she goes online and looks at the same thing online and asks why I didn't make it like that. I'm just sick of having every little thing critiqued, especially when I already know I screwed it up.

Oh man did this chap the rear end of my programmers and even senior IT leadership. Every year - you submit your goals (professional, personal, education) all out and then you are measured against them in your annual review.

It got to the point where when had to meet with our executives to lock in our goals for 2020, we’d all meet beforehand so our guys would agree on the goals in the worlds most vague standards, so they weren’t screwed over when they came up short due to timeline or technology hang ups - which was happening ALL THE TIME!

It’s square peg round hole. It’s like when we’re switching to agile and my management flat out me to just reuse our contracts that were specifically tailored to waterfall methodology. It’s... impossible.

Also, I may be going crazy from 2020 and work from home, but just connected a bunch of dots and realized they might be setting things up to outsource IT. It's more of a growing feeling in my gut than any concrete evidence, but I'm at least going to get the ole LinkedIn updated.



Mega switch to immigration work visas and regulation in Mexico have made it much much more viable for for “off shore” rates with easy connectivity, and I know the big tech companies are doing it themselves. Nextera was shifting about 30% of the work they had been handling in hour and staffing to off shore or contractors.

Best of luck with it. Nice part is - some companies seem to already be realizing what a bad idea it is for quality control, and that project managers will always say there will be no dip in production. Gotta show those reductions in costs!

This is my problem with OKRs, Smart Goals, etc both as a manager and also when I was a developer. You don't have full autonomy over your work so you can't ensure you hit goals you've decided on and are subject to priorities shifting and other external factors. However, I've also never been anywhere not fulfilling those goals in any way reflects negatively on you during a review. It's kinda just going through the motions but nothing I anyone is super focused on.

You have a better company. Big reason I left was because they opted not to give me a bonus I was “promised” because my scrum team didn’t finish a project on time when... absolutely no one finished. We pivoted. It’s an excuse to do what they want which I’ve learned is just too much power for some directors.

Joey's whole thing reminds me I do not like how companies do hiring now. Have been working this project as a contractor, and they've been searching for a full time director. Its down to me and this other guy on my team. I accidentally found out because I was copied on the wrong email (yup) and now... apparently they're going to offer the "loser" of the competition a year contract at the senior level, then evaluate afterwards..

It feels like a goddamn game show. Being virtual is making employers view us as even LESS HUMAN!? Bastards. I wish I didnt know my competition, because hes freakin' really good.


Good luck Joey. I know all too well the butterflies but you've clearly got an edge so just close!

I even miss commuting on the metro. My stop is the first one on the line so I always got a seat (at least going into the city) and it was a nice 40 min to quietly read in the morning. I also liked people watching, being out in the world a bit, etc.

Sounds like you miss being outside and walking around moreso than just working in an office, outside of how much easier it is to get help etc.

I miss socializing but in no way shape or form do I miss the commute or the bullshit that goes along with it. I’ll never go back tbh
