Uuugh, remember .. I had to check a couple of company laptops.
And out of 10 only one was at risk ... but we never needed to replace it
because the laptop got crushed by a (electric adjustable) chair in a BMW X5

Tall and cold again... Friday coming up, again. Couldn't come soon enough, even with Monday off...
I'm not sure about this "new schedule" at work...

Hi all!

I just finished off a new song. This one was done on my laptop with vst synths, as I am confounded with driver issues on my main machine. :'(

The tunes called "decompression". Lemme know what you think.

Interesting Killer... dunno what my immediate reaction is. Rather like the ambiance to it, for sure.
What's the next piece in mind?

At Least This Printer Doesn't Sparkle

BWHAHAHAHAH!!! Someone's having WAY too much fun!

Bloody cold's still driving me nuts... and I have to work this weekend. Tall and... well, something soothing
for the throat, please.

Hope you're feeling better.

I posted a new song on my site:

Tunes called "decompression". I got a chance to play with my ZETA2 vsti synth as I laid in bed sick. The tune was all done on a laptop, no external hardware.

Beyond that, you ain't miss much.

Monday this week was such a fuster cluck... colleague of mine kept going on about how they were
going to quit after the day ended. Ended up going out with them for drink and dinner to calm down.

After that, had two lovely days off, but didn't get muhc accomplished... lesse, on the todo list is
annual RRSPs, and figuring out if I want to get another internet package. Seems I have a tendency
to transfer too much *sighs*

Otherwise, not much else Tau.

Tall and Cold... back to work, and I've got another loaded schedule this weekend, though thankfully
not with work.

....little UNIX / xkcd humor for you... yeah, I don't know UNIX THAT well -- http://xkcd.com/1168/

Also proof (your) upper management's TOTALLY out of touch with reality. Namely, are the hours 24/7?

“Of course.”

Overtime pay?

“This isn’t McDonald’s. We don’t pay by the hour.”

Compensation for overtime / above and beyond performance?

“No. That’s just part of the job.”

Total hours worked on average?

“We’re team players. We don’t count hours.”

...Riiiiiiiiight. Funnily enough, sounds almost way too close to my situation right now... almost

Original Story here I need another drink...

Damn ... that does feel close to home .....
Then again .. I told management, if they wanted 24/7 they should hire at least 3 more IT staff.
And they didn't so our 24/7 is more 16'ish/5

If you need staff Tau, you know where to find me... and my keyfob

Tall and Cold... life's just life... got a special assessment coming on my condo fees, and I just made my
annual RRSP contribution, so not a whole lot of spare cash sitting around. Which sucks cuz I'm trying
to find something to do with my vacation time that doesn't become a STAYcation.

...since I try and find some good news to share... 1/2 way through WC Saga : Darkest Dawn. On the mission
right after the Behemoth jumps into Torgo. Too bad you know how THAT one ends... Oh how my inner geek
goes pitter patter playing it.

LOL .. Man I've been playing Strike Suit Zero and I got a bit sidetracked.
On the good side of the news I found those evil type of stroopwafel and they will be going on mail soon to two Canadians I know ...

HELLFIRE · Post by **HELLFIRE** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 3:05 am

Ya got two Canadians eagerly awaiting em Tau... let us know

I got the weekend shift this week, and I'm house sitting for the folks.

Got a look at Aliens:Colonial Marines. It looked good on Youtube, but then a friend showed
me what the demo looked like versus what it looks like now. Kinda reminds me of what
happens when the boss comes around and says "okay, we're running out of time, so everything
on THIS side of the line says, everything on the other side of the line goes..." Can't return it
now so gonna see if I can get my $60 back out of it.

Tall and Cold please barkeep, and a side order of APIs for the BarPhalanx.
