What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Working on some ancient software here. Need to get around to updating this stuff.
-
Waiting to hear from the rest of the house - They are on their way back from TN. Same drive took me nearly seven hours yesterday due to weather, traffic, blown truck tires (not mine), and at one point WAZE seemed to report a 22 mile backup.
At just under four hour drive normally, full tank of gas, no rush to be home, it was a nice day to drive. Except the rain.
But made it home, mowed the yard before it started raining here.. We are expecting up to another 3inches of rain in the next 24 hours. I see that in California they are getting some needed rain,.. but it washed out a section of the i10, causing motorists to drive hundreds of miles out of the way to get from California to Arizona. Adds to the fires and possible mud/rock slides.

The family is all getting ready to head out to the movies. Going to have the house to myself all day which is nice for actually getting some work done.

No, that was to be in the office. You don't go into an office to be productive. That's to see people.

Huh - all this time I have been misusing my time while at an office.
And of course now - I don't have one to go to.

I'm trying to find the registry hack that will allow you to run remote apps and the full remote desktop session in the same RDS Collection.

I'm in a meeting and I am apparently the only one who showed up. Is today a holiday or something that I did not know about?

Nope. not in the US.
-
@scottalanmiller Somebody rescheduled the meeting and forgot to tell you? ... or you are an hour off due to time zones?
-
I'm confused on time zones. Argh. It's an hour before start of day in Silicon Valley.
-
@scottalanmiller they start at 10am?
-
I'm changing my laptop to Panama time now before I get any more confused.

Yes, that's the standard for SF and Silicon Valley.
-
I think that Portland and Seattle are 10am start of days too. Definitely 9-9:30 at the earliest.
-
@scottalanmiller crap now I have to move there. I'm not much for mornings.

Are you going to Panama?
Do your appointments not know the timezone they are set for and adjust your meetings accordingly? or is this an appointment you manually entered and didn't put a timezone adjustment in place for it?

Contrary to popular belief, all of the US does not work 90 hour weeks. The high income, high productivity SV area is very European in that way. But they do it in a straight block rather than working two short shifts per day.

Yup, only in Texas to pack, get everything together and catch the flight. Leave on Saturday morning.

It's a daily appointment that I just keep in my head.
