    I've been working 16-hour shifts non-stop since Oct 28th. All customers who can receive power have had their electric restored. There is lots of follow-up work to do, but absolutely no longer an emergency of any sort. Gov. Cuomo has ordered the emergency status to remain in effect until further notice. So, I am going to continue working 16 hour shifts every fucking day until whenever he feels like lifting it. Probably through Thanksgiving. There are about 40,00 homes that were flooded and can't have their electric back, it seems that Cuomo's goal is to keep us working until they are all restored. He's even forced our company to accept inspection letters for these homes from any licensed electrician without question and the workers signing off on these have all written letters of dissent because they know the inspections are bullshit. We've already had 3 house fires as a result. Electrical wiring that's been in salt water is no good. But our wonderful governor thinks it's better to just get the lights on so he can look good. Who cares if a few people die? It can take months for the wiring to corrode enough to start a fire too. It was originally over 50,000 homes that were flooded, many of them will be on fire within the next few months. Thank you, Cuomo.

    Uh... I assume this is a bug, or my browser cache not clearing when I told it to. But for some reason this post only shows up on the front page of the forum? But if you go into the General Discussion Threads, it doesn't show as having updated this thread with Behemoth's post. Obviously it's all still here for everyone to read, the interface that's supposed to show new posts just isn't on this one though, at least for me anyway.

    On topic: That's shit and politicians are shit.

    Edit: So I guess it saw my post as a recent thing? So it's fixed I guess? Maybe I should have posted this in a different thread to see if anyone else had the same thing happen... Whoops, oh well.

    No matter...but yes. This is indeed a case of politicians not really thinking about things. Or worse they DO think about it and incorrectly assume they are right and awesome regardless of the facts.

    Oh good, Adam's alive. When this is done you should run for governor.
  • edited November 2012
    Agreed.
  • edited November 2012
    There goes Adam, being smarter than the Governor again.

    Governor Gerhauser, I like it.

    Is the fact that Americans are gorging on delicious turkey today whilst I had to skip lunch and have a meal with a distinct lack of turkey and potatoes a reasonable grounds for hate?
  • edited November 2012
    There was turkey to be eaten but I didn't because I do not like turkey. It also snowed a bunch, but that was good fortune for us. It had been dry so we weren't going to do our usual enormous fire. Snow changed those plans for the better.
  • edited November 2012
    I was too lazy and cheap to go out for turkey on Thanksgiving. So, I did KFC. I made sure to get some mashed potatoes too. Close enough.

    We had a proper Thanksgiving dinner like normal, but everyone in my family always comes here. My mum's getting seriously tired of always having to do the work, and we can't really afford all the extra food.

    My mother and her four siblings take turns every year.
  • edited November 2012
    Had the usual split dinner between mother and father's families, but I think this will be the last year I do that. It's hard enough to unwind after Thanksgiving dinner with Black Friday the next day (someday I will escape you, retail), but driving to two separate locations takes away much-needed relaxing time. I'm thinking I'll push for a breakfast-type gathering at one place and dinner at the other.

    My grandparents from either side of the family used to live literally a block away from each other (now my aunt and uncle live in one of the houses instead), so cross-family holidays have always been pretty convenient for me. Thanksgiving isn't one of those, though. That's strictly the domain of my mother's side.

    So steam doesn't send offline messages to people right? It's bugged out and making one of my friends appear offline, and I can't tell him that I can see his messages but can't respond to them, because I can't respond to them.

    MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER.
    (I apologize to anyone on my steam list for me trying to communicate with said friend through renaming my games and starting them.)

    I got a job offer with a relocation fund, good benefits, decent wage, etc.

    It's based in the czech republic meaning it's not a job it's possible for me to take it.

    Fuck you fate.

    Climb out a window and dig a network of tunnels through the snow. Maintain a stock of snowballs, build a fort and defend your territory from would-be invaders. Also, invade nearby forts to expand territory.

    Standard snow day stuff I should think.
  • edited February 2013
    Boy, British snow sucks. I want to open my door and just be confronted with a wall of snow :(
  • edited February 2013
    I would never want that ever!

    As long as the power doesn't go out and the internets were still there I'd be ok with that about once a year. A power outage in particular would be unfortunate.

    Today fucking sucked. Client's site breaks after a migration. Copy all 11gigs of data and 3gigs of mysql to us, change every config file, but it still doesn't work. Then I see a file with base64 code in it. Turns out that is one of the secondary config files which is only modifiable from the admin panel which the client refused to give me access to (Uses salt hashing on the password in the database too so I couldn't sneak my way in) for ages, this file being the cause of all the problems.

    12 fucking hours to fix this site.
  • edited July 2013
    The client locked you out of a critical config file that needed to be changed to make a migration work. Of course.

    It's not much to add, but I have two episodes left in Breaking Bad before I'm completely caught up.

    While I love the show, I fucking hate every character. Each and every one of them.
  • edited July 2013
    When you say hate, do you mean you love to hate them, or just want them all to die in a car accident and just end the series prematurely?
  • edited July 2013
    Differs by character. Though, the two episodes I had left made me not hate Jesse.

    I want Skyler to die in a car accident prematurely though. Everyone else I love to hate.

    It's a long weekend and I left my 3DS on my desk at work. >: (

    Also I left it on, so Resetti's gonna be pissed.

    I had a class last night and one of the other guys in the class forgot his laptop charger at his workplace after they locked up for the long weekend. He was also unhappy.
