Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

If a closet had 20 linear feet of hanger space, the husband will have
a) < 5 feet
b) > 5 feet < 8 feet
c) > 8 feet

of hanger space.

More than 50% of the space, not only limited to hangar space, but also total area of said closet including shelves for all of his crap in boxes that he hasn't unpacked in years. :mad:

I mean, c.

Truth be told, he's got half the space in our closet and most of the space in one of the other bedroom's closet. This is because he has work clothes that need to be hung up. I have mom clothes that can be folded and put in drawers. :)

I had my master bedroom built where they just walled off one end for the walk-in. Then we put in two doors, his and hers, then added bars for hanging. Hers got a U, mine got an L of hanging bars. Still more than I need, but I'm too lazy to go through and toss stuff. I'd guess she has 16' and I have 10'.

Trick question - it'll all just get tossed on the floor. Or left in the laundry basket.

The software that I consult on, presented their vision for 2017 at their conference in Vegas this week. They are proposing their own smartwatch. :rolleyes:

Every god dammed time...

This one guy make an error on his delivery using an old system that's scheduled for replacement and he sends and email that he needs an item updated from Status ABC. I then have to ask him for the record's unique identifying information and to what Status value he wants. While I know the status change desired I have to ask because it's required for audit purposes, and thus he should be providing the information in the first place. Every time we have to go through this dance rather than idjit simply giving me that needed information up front.
 
Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

One thing that REALLY grinds my gears is when some manager or business analyst makes a design decision when they have zero clue how the existing system works. And then they try to schedule based on their thoughts of complexity.

There's been a big discussion today about our email servers, and one of the people in the discussion said this line, "...a community of 52 mail servers..." Really, a group email servers is now a community? These things are living organisms now, are they?

52 mail servers? That's kind of insane. I think.

We're a global company with almost 300,000 employees and direct daily customer email contact - not all customers are contacted on the same schedule. I'm willing to bet that you guys have something similar for hardware, if not quite as many as we have. Plus, I don't know the age and specs to all of those servers. We've recently been reducing the number of our application servers as we've upgraded equipment the past few years.

At my last job, we used to refer to a "farm" of X dozens of servers, if they were all supporting the same enterprise application.
 
Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

some ******* flipped me off this morning because he doesn't know how to zipper merge.

When they started adding roundabouts, the DOT sent out an informational brochure with license renewals that explained how to drive through them, and how they were "better". They need to do the same for the zipper merge.

Remember, in NJ, the car ENTERING the rotary/roundabout/traffic circle has the right of way.

We have yield signs on both sides of the road for the traffic entering the roundabouts rather than actually spending the time and money educate people on how to use them. People get them wrong. The best is when you see sign posts and painted instructions on the street explaining that the right-hand lane in a specific roundabout by my house is for going straight or turning right while the left-hand lane entering the roundabout is traffic going straight or left. I had a guy about half car-length ahead of me in the right light cutover into my lane, missing me by inches, while he decided to go left. And, of course, the idiot was driving a Dodge vehicle. Come to that...


People who drive Dodge vehicles grind my gear. They're all idiots on the road.
 
Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

A big gear grinder is that people don't know that Memorial Day is specifically for the fallen. Not for Veterans. Have heard and seen many veterans comment on it too, it bugs many of them too. For them, this is a day (yesterday) for their brothers that didn't come home, and many times died saving their lives.
