odd.. I work from home ; Get more done

Not odd, the entire industry has known for decades that you send people home to work, you bring them to the office for politics and to serve the egos of managers. Nearly everyone is way more productive at home. That's why nearly all good companies don't just allow it, they encourage it.

as that may be true: i was saying odd because of hours and how I have to put less hours on my time card because I worked from home.

you have to put less hours on your card because you work at home? Did I miss something?

I can only put what "work I did" so basically Billable hours only.

That's not how employment law works. . . you're there and willing and able to work. It's your bosses fault for not having things for you to do.

Stayed home with my son and worked from the house, had 6.5 hours of Billable hours on customer checks and half an hour of emails.
7 hours.

Doesn't matter. Like @DustinB3403 said, you should have rights. If you worked for 8 hours and made 7 "billable ones", ... it's 8 hours of work.

BTW @WrCombs: If you want to learn something really useful, learn PowerShell.

Did you watch my video?

I'm preaching that all day long...

Everything Slowed wayyy down as of 20 minutes ago.

Like... workload slowed down? Or the computers are dying?

ML is slow.

Ah, I've been on the phone. That must be it.

Your spamming skill knowledge transfer rate was better a few years ago

Arrived in the office 30 minutes ago after nearly two hours of traffic jam

That's all billable wasted time that the business should be paying for.

They will tell you that you are free to live next to the office and walk.

Sure, if you pay my moving expenses

Getting to and from work is your own business. I would get paid if the traffic jam happens on a business trip. Guess it's the same in the US.

It's cold and a little stormy, rain is pouring down heavily. Google Maps draws lots of red and black lines... would rather go back to bed

@gjacobse said in Aliexpress:

Has anyone ordered items from Aliexpress?

The order I have placed with them is on hold, they want some financial information I don’t feel they need, but since we are talking about another country wanted to ask.

They want a photo copy of my card statement, drover’s license or passport,...

Seems odd to me,....

Never had any issues. Think of AliExpress as eBay + clearance platform. The question is: Who is asking? AE or the vendor? I would simply contact AE's customer support.

One of my ES-48 went south today

UNMS reported a connection loss, can't ssh or ping the switch. Will have a look at the serial port tomorrow, bypassed the few connected ports to another switch for today.

That's the second (probably) dead ES-48 out of approx. 25 in ~4 years.

Upgrading a few old Dell OptiPlex 9020 with SSDs. For some reason, I can't clone the old OS to the SSD (broken BCD on reboot, already tried to fix it). Will take a closer look tomorrow.
