The Cozy Corner

[rick_j21]

I don'y have a phone at work anymore. Everything is on teams

Occasionally, someone will ask me for my work phone number. I have no idea. I think I have one, but I have no idea what it is because like you we use teams for everything

It just kind of hit me that there have been almost 21,000 posts here in about 5-6 weeks!! That’s wild

It is purely coincidental that is roughly when I found the Cozy Corner.

Really? That's awesome! Don't know what I would do if I met her!

Yeah it's become a running joke that she's Olivia's friend now.

I suppose that would be a cost savings move. No hardware for the phone system.

Precisely

It's not in your email signature?

 

[cocokittysurprise]

Right over my head!

I love it, cause it appeals to the logical side of me, but if you don't like schematics/data models, pipeline flows, data governance, etc. it can be mind-numbing LOL

 

[cocokittysurprise]

My question for everyone that has Teams meets. Why does it seem like you get a group on a meet, and no one has their camera on? Couldn't we just have done this on a conference call then? We aren't sharing documents. WTH?

We have a Teams license, but my direct team/reports hiss like a pack of rabid cats whenever anyone even mentions it by name. We just do a combo of Zoom + Slack LOL

Actually, I sort of get it. I was a project manager for a data center / colocation facility before I resigned. I didn't sit though those meetings but I did sit through the construction phase side of it and managed multiple vendors for each project.

And @Nylonian - yeah I’ve fell down the rabbit hole of fountain pen ink. I’ve learned filling the converter is not hard and YouTube taught me how to clean the pen properly. Bought a couple supplies for that that and a new pen….

Oh nice. Which one did you get? Can't wait to see some writing samples from it. Cleaning is not hard at all but can be annoying to do when you have a lot of pens inked up. That's why I only keep 2-3 pens inked up these days and use dip pens for when I just wanna play/doodle.

Same. I always ask for meetings to be rescheduled (politely) whenever someone suggests Teams...

I could never do what you do. I just make sure that pricing and promotion data is correct for coffee machines and occasionally meet with roasters about beans and attend conventions. Oh that and make the site look pretty but that's pretty straightforward.

Debates making joke about Carmen and construction workers

 

[Nylonian]

Kinda weird now it's over though, it's like now what?
Not quite really but it feels like that

Congratulations! And yeah, it do be like that. Kinda how I felt when I finished Elden Ring. It's like: "That was freaking amazing. Nothing will ever top that. Also, what do I do now?"

Lowkey wanna read these.

It's only a joke if it's not already true.

 

[Nylonian]

Should I be embarrassed that I first heard her music when I was about 50 and several of her songs mean something to me?

Not at all! You do you and her music is universal and comes from the heart.

*Grabs clipboard*
Ok we have food talk later on around noon.... We already complained about yard work....there'll be a rehash of star wars memes and jokes at like 2 eastern time and then it looks like maybe some pet comparisons and alcohol references around 5

Did you need to add anything on?

Add Nylonian waking up and making himself a spressi now.

 

[Nylonian]

Ugh, I love it when people talk coffee to me...

You're gonna love me then.

I'm on the data side of it (I'm a Lead Data Architect). Since we have a hybrid solution (cloud based with an on-prem center for sensitive/healltcare data), I'm typically on all of the calls.

 

[Nylonian]

I definitely would have pegged you as an unsanitary barista

That would never fly at my old workstation. I pride myself on cleanliness, efficiency and high quality shots.

Carmen probably catcalled the construction workers instead of the other way around

We had amazing engineers who always supported me but no, I never sat down for any of the data side line items. The center I worked for held everything from federal and state customers, to big name companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

Actually, that's how I became good friends with Daisy (our HR lead). Hahaha. We still hang out!

I pride myself on high quality shots too. All kinds.

That's why I always clean my rifle after each use and keep top shelf liquor in the house

Good morning!!
Windy and low 50s this morning
I’m hiding in the bathtub
Wishing everyone a wonderful day!!

Did I miss the view?
