metadigital Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 And Strongbow is the best cider I've ever drUnk. Quoted for truth. That's like being the best batsman in the Canadian cricket team. If you work for yourself, you can turn that extra time into an investment into yourself (study, organising, leisure, what-have-you). This is what I do, for instance, today I had to show up half an hour early because there was a meeting. I ate a free bagel, sat around for an hour, then I went to my cubicle, where I proceeded to sit around for some twenty odd minutes. Then I thought to myself "Self, I should probably finishing those computers I didn't have time to yesterday." "That's an excellent idea Self, let's go do that!" That took about twenty minutes, then I came back and sat around for another hour or so. Then it was lunch time so I went to get lunch, came back to my cubicle and sat around for an hour eating. Then my boss found me some work to do so I did that, it took about twenty minutes. Then I came back and sat around some more. Then he found me a little more work to do that took thirty minutes. Then I sat at my desk for another hour, then I fell asleep for an hour. Then my boss woke me up and told me it was time to go home. I get paid $12 an hour for this. This is California's taxpayer money at work people. My job would be really boring if I didn't have internet. Help your boss with some of his work. He'll either take all the credit, feel guilty and hate you, or take all the creidt, like you and promote you (take you with him as he goes up).

metadigital Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"Istanbul" 1953 Words by Jimmy Kennedy Music by Nat Simon "It's Istanbul, not Constantinople now ...." Leave it to Tin Pan Alley to turn centuries of ethnic and religious struggles into a catchy ditty. This song, although copyrighted by Kennedy and Simon, is a direct descendant of the humourous piece, "Al-Bar the Bubul Emir" that could be found in the pages of "Captain Billy's Whizbang," an early 20th century precursor to "Mad Magazine." Lyrics: Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople So if you've a date in Constantinople She'll be waiting in Istanbul Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why they changed it I can't say People just liked it better that way So take me back to Constantinople No, you can't go back to Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works That's nobody's business but the Turks Istanbul (Istanbul) Istanbul (Istanbul) Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why they changed it I can't say People just liked it better that way Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works That's nobody's business but the Turks So take me back to Constantinople No, you can't go back to Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works That's nobody's business but the Turks Istanbul clickie OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been helping him with his work, but so much of his work acting as insulation between the upper management and my department, as well as dealing with suppliers, I can't help him with the bulk of it.

metadigital Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, in my experience there are (broadly speaking) two types of management style: bottom-facing and top-facing. The bottom-facing manager will be a great leader, an inspiration to their team, and promote a great work environment to encourage them all to do their best individually and collectively. The top-facing manager is more interested in being a member of his management chain, and treats his team like a bunch of commodities that are to be exploited for maximum benefit for the company, regardless of the consequences, just so long as they earn admiration from their higher-ups.

Musopticon? Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, I'm the UK. I thought I made a lenghty post here about it earlier. I'sa gonna go to London for a week on Sunday. If you can give a ny tips what to see, I'd appreciate it. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Well mine is definitely bottom-facing then. He is a pretty cool dude, there just isn't that much for me to do right now. Currently I'm preparing a laptop for a user.

Unfortunately. Short-sighted ignorance is pandemic. See, my boss is all about telling it like it is with an almost complete lack of concern for self preservation.

Pope Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) Ah, but has she got red hair? no Never before have I received such contradictory signals... We've had a couple of awesome moments together and there is definitely an emotional connection as well as an attraction between us. She keeps suggesting to have another date, but again and again she cancels or just doesn't show up. It's been 4 bloody times now. I've neither the time nor patience for this. next!

It usually lets some good managers rise to lower-middle, where their management skills are useful. The upper area is a political battlefield ...

Enoch Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 The neck problems of last weekend have gone away, but now I can't sleep because of a persistent cough. It is rather loud and difficult to suppress when I'm lying down. This has been going on for 3 straight nights now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Uploading a zillion directories and files for a plugin and then upon install, having a message say there's a new version of the plugin already (not on the official site yet) and having to re-upload/overwrite all those files again, is a pain in the @!@#$.
