Yeah, I'm one of the guys who condenses month's worth of daily, hour-long conference calls down to the 2-3 hours of work that has to be done. Let's see AI try to do that!

finally got a raise after several years of nothing
3% lol
fuck this market

i guess it matters that they at least never cost of living adjusted my ass though. I'm not sure why and I'm not going to ask. Everyone else did after the covid shuffle.
but here i am still getting LA rates in Portland. That would have been a nasty ~20% hit.

Co-worker called me just now, wondering how to do something. We talked for a while because I couldn't understand what he wanted. He literally just had to click two things, but just didn't do it? Just changing units from meters to US survey ft. Like it was some serious thing we had to talk through? Bro, click, click, done. WTF, why are you calling me?

Third year of making hockey mini golf features for Red Bull.
This year there's an event called the World Juniors which I guess is kind of a big deal
so they're out on some fake ice bullshit called glice that has introduced complications.

After a decade of failing at making a music career, I'm throwing in the towel. I need to get a real adult job. Any of y'all n-words hirin'?

Ugh first day back
I've been ~~thinking~~ dreaming about scaling back work or retire altogether
The work is fine and I'm held in high regard but also these 2 weeks off may not have been enough to unburnt out

What kind of gear you use to mine lasers? You get like a "Ripley's robo-suit when she fought the Alien" type thing?

Being a supervisor is fucking annoying as shit. People lying on their timesheets like we don't work in the same office.

From: sanka #76

My company owner lives in Oklahoma. He was talking real big about people moving there and working in the office building he just got. How personal interactions made meaningful connections. Buddy, there's an open google meeting we're all on every single day, never seen you there.

Lol, how about fuck you, as well. Oklahoma is like bottom 5 in every single lifestyle ranking ever. You couldn't pay me enough to live there. Hell, Tulsa will pay you $10k a year just to live there. Literally.

anyone commute an hour and a half to work?
I have an opportunity to apply for a job making 20k more than I do now in a field i think i would do well with.

That commute tho

From: sanka #84
Date: 01/06/26 @ 9:29 PM

I did 80 minutes back in the old days. If you are considering this, I can come and shoot you to put you down instead.

It's probably better.

From: Sepharo #87

I had an hour commute (2 hours of my day total) for 3 years before COVID hit.
I would work from home about half the week back then to avoid the drive... then permanently starting in 2020.
Work has a "If you live more than 30 miles away you can be full remote" policy... in a straight line I'm 25 miles from work... but the commute on the highways was more like 45-50 miles. So I had to get an exception, but did.

From: chobbler - - - - - - billy bumpkin here - #88
Date: 01/07/26 @ 12:08 AM

I did over two years of a 60+ minute commute,
but I'd do it on a monday morning, stay with my folks,
and drive back on a wednesday night.

Kinda jacked my life up but this was 2020-2022
so life was all about being jacked up during that time thank you.

I’m back into the office 5 days a week. It’s 90 minutes door to door. Car, train, subway. Often too crowded to work. Reading a lot.

From: LadyAlthea #90
Date: 01/07/26 @ 2:06 PM

hmmm. well i think im going to apply for it.
fuck it.

From: ghoast #91

Was the hour and a half commute each way?

From: LadyAlthea #92
Date: 01/07/26 @ 2:14 PM

i think 40mins would probably be my absolute max and that’s only if it was clear driving most days

if it involves heavy stop and go traffic, that max drops to 20

From: ghoast #95

I did an hour each way for 6 months but only to ride out my apartment's lease, then moved closer.

From: slimwhitem #96
Date: 01/07/26 @ 2:46 PM

twice now i lived 2-5 minutes from where i worked, only at different times. had i not bought my house and stayed in my apartment, it would be a 10 minute walk to iur company’s new building. im still a little miffed

From: LadyAlthea #97

good luck
I'm a little too road rage prone to commute anymore.
covid saved me from a rough one
and my commute has been about 15 steps ever since

be extra nice to your car with the service appointments

From: Ransome #100

and I thought 12 steps was a lot
