Ahh #corporate woes. Today is a day to recognize my chosen career -manager has made the appropriate post on internal Social Media, and invited us all to #sharethejourney which of course in our case-based pay environment is inviting us to participate in an unpaid activity that would require me to share personal info with ppl I’ve not met. My whole chested response is Thank you , NO. I’m paid by the case- I should do it for all the soft skills it would show but folx, I’m tired. #workwoes#work
I'm off for a week of full-time volunteering with Three Rings at 3Camp, our annual volunteer hack week: bringing together our distributed team for some intensive in-person time, working to make life better for charities around the world.
And if there's one good thing to come out of me being suddenly and unexpectedly laid-off two days ago, it's that I've got a shiny new laptop to do my voluntary work on (Automattic have said that I can keep it).
At #work I found nearly 3TB of userland backups made by my team, stuff I asked them to take care of, and I'm not upset, but the storage started to run-lean, so I went poking about. One user here had over 550GB of backed up data. I laughed deeply, and my first thought was “Yeah, it's all dupey bullshit I bet…”
Yeah. It is: "Progress [1329713/1631812, 440601 pairs matched]" and it's been chugging away since yesterday afternoon... with 20% more to scan. LOL. #jdupes#infotech#DataStorage
"Is it time to ditch your emotional support hoodie?" Boutayna Chokrane writes for @WIRED. Her piece examines how what we wear can affect how others perceive us in the workplace, and consequently, our opportunities. "The hoodie masquerades as an everyman’s garment, but in the office, it’s a rich man’s privilege. For the rest of us, it just makes it easier to be overlooked," she concludes. We want to know: Do you have different wardrobes for work and home? Tell us in the comments what you think.
