In the Pacific Northwest a common variety of rain is this mist that’s too heavy for visibility, but too light for windshield wipers.

Today’s meeting schedule is like that but for productivity. No meeting flood, but no ticket work until 2pm.

But I get lunch!

blocked out calendar with intermittent meetings from around 8am until 1:15pm, with a break for lunch.

@tithonium I’ve had heavier schedules, and some of my coworkers have much much worse.

Makes me feel bad for being sidetracked by such a comparatively light load, but I did the time math and it just don’t work!

@freakazoid Made myself proud yesterday with " Is there a legal, technical, or $problem_domain-based need for this?"

@FerdiZ @freakazoid If they’re a manager, I answer “because you’re management.”

Else, it probably won’t come up because I tend to be more enthusiastic and excitable with new devs.

Enough friends have mentioned cohost — and it’s not connected enough to everything else yet — that I went ahead and signed up.

Waiting part’s done. Now I got my introductory post out of the way:
