      What's even worse, is all these lines are at the very beginning of the chapter, calling for non existent .css and .xml

      Don't the MS programmers know what they're doing? Aren't they supposed to be the best in the world or something?

      If you used an Acme brand mover, it'll all bounce back with a WAH WAH Waaaah noise.

      That is just insane, you’re working similar hours to my dad during high season! That’s just crazy. :hug:

      I had a stretch with overtime like that and it was a killer, but the money was good. I hope you do get a quieter period coming up though after the pay period!

  4. So, my work schedule appears to finally normalizing.  We’ll see how long that lasts.

    Agenda for today:

    Upgrade the forum
    catch up on self admitted minors
    hunt other minors
    continue the finalization of character set conversion in buffy, where I’m working

      One of the first things I check on BluRay/DVD are the special features.

  5. FINALLY 2 days off, and a week scheduled on ONE shift!!!

  6. We have new hires, that are even trained!  Let’s see how long this lasts, to where I can actually work a NORMAL week.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

      I second what Bronxie said, HOORAY!! And I sincerely hope it’ll last for you, DG. :licking-cat::cheers::running::happykitten:

      I hope it lasts too.  Very tired of the work/sleep work/sleep work/sleep cycle.  With NO time for hardly anything else, except errands.

      I thought she’d be the one to buck the trend, I really did.  That’ll teach me for being positive.

  8. 85.24 hours this pay period.  AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH

      Pay period is seven days, Wednesday to Tuesday.  So that 85+ hours was Thursday through Tuesday.  I also worked Wednesday for 13.5 and today for 10.5.  I THINK I’m off tomorrow, but I don’t know for sure yet

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      7 days is 168 hours, max, so yeah, 100+ hrs/week, that’s some serious overloading which I normally don’t hear about apart from the game development industry!    And here I thought you’d have a vacation or something, you deserve it!

      Where’s the “Yikes!” reaction button? 

  9. Alrighty then…

    I watched Episode 5 of the Rings of Power.  

    There is so much wrong in this episode I don’t even know where to start!

    1.  Mithril is not a melted Silmaril.  The Silmarilli cannot be destroyed.  
    2. Galadriel is wearing the sigil for the House of Feanor.  She is not of that house.  She is of the House of Finarfin.
    3. Tar-Miriel never went to Middle Earth.  In fact, when Ar-Pharazon goes to Middle Earth, by this time, he has forced Tar-Miriel into marriage and usurped the throne of Numenor.  She is supposed to be Queen Regnant, not Queen Regent.

    I could go on further, but this episode has me even more furious at how they have destroyed the legendarium.

      Elrond stealing the table is the best part.

    2. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      I’ll admit, I haven’t yet read the Silmarillion, but how the fuck can you fuck up a legendarium with such abundant source material?!! Like, Tolkien quite literally left us the equivalent of a guidebook…

      @WillowDarklingSheer Unbridled Hubris.

      Hollywood writers seem to think they can be Tolkien but fail. It’s a a bad fanfiction based on something they don’t even have the rights to but think they can anyway.

      They’ll say things that come off fantasy-ish to a normal viewer but to the rest of us the character seems a bit stunted? Episode 5 pretty much cements galadriel knows she’s evil like a rabid dog chasing a car. And despite that the Harfoots are worse than orcs. Which makes it seem like Sauron is the one protecting the demonic critters personally.

      @DemonGoddesshit the nail on the head. Durin and company are unironically the best part of the show.  The sole flickering light of it even.

  10. And my day off is no more.  Got called in for second shift.  Jeeez

      Honestly, you can’t keep this up forever, you know… You need some down time. :hug:

      Seriously, this is how the USPS ended up making “going postal” a household phrase.

  11. Apparently the code is not generating the reset link as it’s intended to.  So Manta is looking at that code snippet to see why, and to fix it.

      I know how tough it is to have to do that, no matter how necessary it is.  As long as he had a good life, that’s the important thing.

      Sympathies, DG… you gave him a good life and a compassionate ending. I hope as much for all of us... :hug:

      Well, it’s getting merrier now that I’m up to having tea, but I think my birthday tikka masal is not going to happen this year. :lol: I’ll make up for it later in the week.

      But, I must squeal a bit, my daft one got tickets for us to see Ronan Tynan (one of the Irish tenors) at Fordham in March. It’s cocktails followed by a concert, and I’m thrilled, because he’s got a magnificent voice, and is a sweetheart to boot.

       

    3. pippychick

      Awesome present, but I’m sorry you’ve been poorly. You will have to have two birthdays this year – like the queen :)

      Thank you! Honestly, I’m not all that bothered by getting older as long as I don’t act older. :lol:

      As “they” say, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional :D 

  21. I am playing catch up, finally.  We’ll see how long this fairly normal hours at work thing lasts, though.  ugh

    1. Desiderius Price

      Good luck, hope the work load stays reasonable for you!

      Find a better gig?  IIRC, you’ve been on double shifts ever since I joined the server (about eight years now).

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      The double shifts are off an on.  it’s part of what happens when you’re a manager in retail ya know.  I’m salaried, so no OT fer me

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, gods, been there, done that. I pointed out to one of my staff that they in fact made more money than me since they got overtime and I was salaried. It’s across all industries, I think, and it truly sucks.
