Why nothing sucks today
-
I agree that not much sucks today too. I'm still floating on becoming a grandfather for the first time this past Thursday.

I :love: my job. Lucky to work with people smarter (a lot smarter) than me and management that intuitively gets it. And the 10 minute commute (with WFH capability) doesn't hurt. And yes, we are agile (not just dev, but including PM, release management and implementation). :) Caveat: The coffee in the office is nothing to write home about. /ravi

Very cool, Ravi! I don't think I've ever experienced that combination (excepting the coffee part) in my entire career. The closest I've managed is my current, post-retirement, job working part time in a gun shop. The owner really knows guns of all kinds, the full time gun smith really knows how to fix a bunch of guns, but both have gaps in their knowledge and need the help of an engineer to get the job done. It's also fun to come home to my machine shop, play with various heat treating processes, and parkerizing or color case hardening my home made parts for obsolete weapons. Metal work is far more interesting than coding apps for Millennial snowflakes, even though it's not nearly as lucrative! :-D You're a lucky man, my friend, though you've earned every bit of it. Have a ham sandwich... ;)

Congrats! I got my prerelease notice last week. A grandchild is due in April next year...our first. :) Funny, I don't feel old enough! :laugh:

I felt exactly the same 29 years ago when my first was born. Last week my third great-granddaughter was born, and I still don't feel old enough.

Judging from what you wrote here over the years, I sincerely doubt this is possible. Cool, my job situation is complicated, 1h/commute, but the direct management OK. All in all, I cannot complain.

Are you working from home with your SO beside you today? How come it takes you 10 minutes to get from the bedroom to the basement?

Ha ha! No, I prefer to go into the office and interact with my coworkers. But I'm not a morning person and I'm thankful for a job that allows me to come in later than most of the other employees. The focus is on getting your work done on time and doing it well, allowing artificial constraints like dress code and official working hours to be set aside. /ravi

Thank you, sir. I will indeed have a ham (and salami) sandwich for supper tonight. :) /ravi

Pick up a Nespresso Pixie machine if you like espresso (~$100 - $150). Some of the coffees are truly amazing. If you prefer coffee, get yourself a Kureg and find pods you like (even cheaper). I had my own Nespresso machine at the office for years.
