Morning people of the palace

Going to the office to sanitize and wipe it all down.

Tomorrow we are open as far as I know - apparently a minister of something said that any construction work in progress or just starting on uni buildings must be continued asap.

@Solitude - sorry to hear dude, what can I do to help?

Are you happy that you are going back to work?

I need a new UPS. Can’t seem to find one though.

I am actually - just for a change of scenery. Not that I can do much as of yet - till the meetings start and I get to type minutes again!

But yea overall happy to go back, this having no money extra is getting less fun. I cant wait for the second job to start up so I can actually afford to go buy winter clothing!

Hahahahaha

At this point, its free - the problem we are having tho is more a 1D10T error and PEBCAC error

The boss doesnt understand that you start the meeting out of outlook. He wants to import his phone contacts onto the pc and add them to teams.
He is convinced he can call people via teams the way you do with whatsapp and skype

You can download teams on Android I believe. Haven’t tried that though.

Guys, I think my internet is working now!

It was a real mission. Had lots of problems and I felt bad for the poor guy who did the installation. But it looks like Rain had problems while we were setting everything up. Because now it’s great! I hope it stays this way.

Hi folks. Hope y’all are doing well. Got back to running on Saturday, which was cool, especially considering how few people are out in our part of Centurion.

Also, It’s not a great feeling; the internal conflict of pride and scorn as a project you’ve put too much energy and time on (read, excruciatingly so) goes live, or rather you realize it’s been live for at least a month and a half, yet you haven’t been paid the final amount because of shenanigans by the agency we did the project through (learning curves are nice in the professional world, I guess. Yay, capitalism).

That sucks dude. Hope you do get paid.

Yeah, I started running on the 1st. I’m not gonna lie, its the first time that so many white people have been friendly and greeted back.

CEO tried to introduce that trash. I swore, gave some reasons, and swore some more. We are not using teams anymore.

Yo. We got switched over from Slack to Teams without real warning. Lost all our inter-dev chat history, and I wasn’t impressed.

Why would they switch you if you already had a system in place?

We are using teams because thats what the people we are consulting to are using.

Hey, folks! Checking in before the afternoon routine begins.

@Wyvern: I also recommend Slack over Teams.

@1nF4m0u5: Took a look at your friend’s YouTube channel and I’m happy to help out.

Unfortuantely we are not allowed to make suggestions - Teams is what Stellenbosch Uni uses so that is what we have to use. . . .

My kids’ school uses Teams, and its not been too bad. The first the kids are taught on there is how turn your mic off :joy:

And my 7 year old just “gets” it.

A lot of my company meetings have actually taken place over Discord, which I find is rather good. It is also the only app I could find that supports desktop audio when screen sharing. So it is our default family Jackbox meeting app!
