Same here. The work has to get done, but nothing is so critical that it can't wait a few days. If it is, we'll get someone else to do it.

You know what's even more soul crushing? Unassigned cubicles. Every day you come in, potentially to a new cube. Every day you leave, and it's exactly like how you found it that morning when you came in. There's a number of la

A company I know of just went to unassigned cubes. Cubes are first come first serve each day, and as a result of that you can't store things overnight in the cube. Besides real estate savings for the company, I suppose it makes the fir

I've been running CCCP for years (I think at least 5 or so), on multiple computers, and have never had issues with CCCP. The only reason I have to update is for codec features, like hi10p. I agree with your comment on licensing. I have

Where I live in the US I'm at 30% post-tax. I could probably get this down to about 20%, but I'd be adding on an hour or more of commute each way, and I'm in a pretty desirable part of the city.

A coworker of mine at a previous job had an office (shared), but it was next to the break room on the floor. People would frequently walk by for coffee. I thought the microwaves (smell and beeping) would have been the most annoying in that

In the US, credits are typically by "Credit hours", which I believe is in reference to how much instruction time you have per week. A 3 credit hour class may meet 3x a week for 1 hour, or 2x a week for 1.5hr. So saying 30 credits

My first internship offered a 401k with company match. The trick for that is to put in exactly as much to get the company "free" money. If they match 100% up to the first 3% of your salary, you just got a 3% raise so long as you a
