Terrible situation. I had a temp come work for me that had fled from Ukraine. I judged the situation at first, but I considered what I would do in his situation. I’d like to think I’d stay and fight, but we only get one life. My guy was just trying to to survive.

Myth busters had to be the worst offender in that realm. “here a 2 minute recap of that things you just saw 5 minutes ago.”

Those bad boys are concrete lol.

Same here, I still do a lot of complex problem solving and modeling but excel/python handles a lot of the dirty work for me.

My favorite is summoning salt.

There’s a place right by my house that does full English and it’s heavenly.

I had a plaintext guide from gamefaqs that I printed at a friend’s house because we didn’t have internet lmao.

Got me thru it but I have no idea how.

Try smaller businesses maybe? Corporate isn’t for everyone.

I got hired for two simple tasks and quickly realized the company (being small) was lacking in a lot of areas I specialize in or am passionate about. I started doing all these extra things and I got a lot of recognition and $$$ in return. I also don’t hate my job, it’s a small team and we all get along great.

That’s something, lol. I’m not irreplaceable but it would be an absolute clusterfuck if I left, at least for a while.

I do a good job of documenting everything but so much of my work relies on scripts that I wrote and never properly deployed - a mix of python and VBA, and all my reporting relies on an API connection that nobody else maintains and other than a handful of queries I shared, nobody really knows how to use it.

I’m not trying to be shitty but it’s job security.

Someone measure the pixels, if this isn’t to scale imma be upset

And they’re going to populate. Sounds like a movie I saw.

Think about it longer term… All the people struggling at the bottom now have secure housing. More money is free for nutrition, hygiene, they can get better jobs or afford schooling… Trades or higher education. More people have a chance to escape poverty and contribute production, get more money to spend, more money gets out into local economies. So and so forth. It’s a good idea.

Yeah I get this too if my beard grows for more than a couple days. Also the back of my scalp if my hair gets really long.

I think this is from a mobile game I used to play… Neko Atsume? Pretty cute and fun.

It’s that a snake or grass? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m not a programmer by trade but I learned some python and VBA to automate some of the things I do every day. Any time you’re doing some manual shit and think “there’s gotta be a better way” there probably is - just Google how to do that one thing and you’ll build up your knowledge over time.

It’s up to you to decide if you tell your boss or not. I chose to and took on some extra duties along with extra pay so it worked out for me but it’s a small business with a high value on productivity.

Good God please use xlookup. We have some old school people that still use vlookup and refuse to convert their ranges to tables, it drives me crazy.

I still use index/match for multiple lookup returns (or is it sumifs I can’t remember?) But I do a lot of work in BI and it’s much more intuitive for me in DAX/M.

For Agatha!

It’s always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.

I wonder if he has any scrolls or guns.
