Please wait...
I've been using -d -r for a while... it's interesting if you ^aS within it, though, then ^a[TAB].
You can split your screen in twain, then tab into the other screen and view a different session.
Then ^aQ to close the other screen if you are done with it.
Today feels like time crawls along, ambling at a slow pace that seems unnatural for some reason.
I doubt it'll feel that way after work.
Mostly testing today, with dev work to fix things that aren't working correctly, to tighten code. But... it just feels like I have all the time in the world for this today.
Yeah, something like that, although oddly without the tiredness.
Still, I was happy to get the hell out of there that day.
I heard that Freakdog is now in charge of Unix *and* storage *and* backups.
So now when a unix system blows itself up and the backups are no good, they only have one guy to blame.

I'm ok with that.
I went to the hearing center at the local hospital to get my mother's hearing aid repaired. There was a young woman standing in front of me waiting to speak to the receptionist. When the receptionist opened the window the woman said that she was there for a job interview. She was wearing jeans. *jeans* I wasn't at the hospital's main entrance, this was not the hospital's HR department, this was at the hearing center. She was interviewing for a position within the hearing center. Have we lowered the standards so much that jeans are acceptable interview clothing?
It depends on the kind of position you seek.
I sought a junior developer's position 19 years ago, wearing shorts to the interview, and sandals. Mind you, I asked about appropriate attire before going on the interview, and he indicated such a relaxed dress code would be fine (and I did get the job), but there you have it.
This said, today, I wouldn't dream of such relaxed standards, because the kind of folks who might want to hire me intend to spend far more money than a mere junior developer, so the least I could do is dress very nicely when asking for so much money.
It really does depend on the employer. When I interviewed for a company up
in San Francisco not long ago, the headquarters of the shorts-and-sandals
office motif, they clearly wanted business casual. I didn't even get a chance
to ask; it was on the interview letter. But, yet, my interviewers at Facebook
were like, "All we care about is that you're dressed; be yourself." I still
went biz-cas, but I saw several other interviewers which were more casual
than I was, to be sure.
<laughs> Oh gods LS.. Make them pay you for the time you spend filling it
out.. And start billing for when you think about your work while in the shower
or in the car.
We do timesheets here, even though we're salaried.
It's a government mandate, even though we're a private enterprise. Because we have a lot of government contracts, it winds up dictating how we do business.
Never before have I been so careful about the time I spend... as in, I try not to work beyond a set number of hours, unlike the old me who wouldn't pay attention to the insane number of hours I worked at all.

Don't forget to break out your capitalized labor vs operating expense
time.
That gets deep into the weeds pretty quick. 100% of what a developer does is capital. Except when she's putting out fires. Some weeks I spend all my time putting out fires. It follows that the firefighting should also be capitalized as a development cost. ;)
Write your own goddamn TPS reports. The Cube will not do it for you, no matter how many idle cycles we have.
