my employee who had almost *nothing* to do for the last year because of new systems implementations and WFH/travel restrictions has rated herself - amanda jeans Jun 27, 11:29 5
- She did nothing and she did it well, -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 11:50
- That’s tough… she clearly knows her job wasn’t normal so she at least did something to improve. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 11:33 2
  - That was my takeaway. Most people would choose Price Is Right. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:33 1
    - Outstanding. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 11:33
- *promotes her to mandy's boss* -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 27, 11:30

China Mars rover vid! -- (link) - mud Jun 27, 11:04 6
- So it's got a separate camera? -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 27, 11:29 2
  - No, it's got a bunch of pre-rendered footage with actual footage tacked on at the end -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 11:32 1
    - (At least in my opinion. I suppose a drone might have its own selfie drone. This is the future, after all.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 11:33

- speaking of (?), if there was a pool for "what day will mandy turn on the air conditioning," the answer was "this morning at 730." - amanda jeans Jun 27, 11:09
- God luck. I was going to do that on my old one. It actually housed 3 12 volt batteries within it. But from what I saw there were size issues. - Spawn Jun 27, 11:04
- Did the same for my UPSes recently. Tough part was getting the battery case off. Snap locks were a bugger to move. -- nm - budice Jun 27, 11:01

      - Zillow Gone Wild! -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 10:57
- That realtor has an unfortunate name. Anyway, from the figurines I'd have guessed Warhammer, but I guess D&D is more -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 09:32 2
  - Definitely a Warhammer player, but there is plenty of room for a great D&D setup, too. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 27, 11:28
