If I ever forget what day it is, all I have to do it listen to the lady next to me. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. I hear the same shit: Ugh, it's Monday that's how I'm doing It's not Monday so I have that going for me Huuuuuummmpp daaaayyyy!!! Happy Friday eve!!!!! It's Friday-daaaayyyy!!!
I'm going to start doing the opposite... "It's Monday... I hate being away from here all weekend" "Four more days at the office!!" "At least we have one more day" "I can't believe it's already Friday "
Another thing I've always wondered, do people that really really hate Mondays binge drink all weekend like I do? Seems like it would make sense if you're still hungover on Monday it indeed makes it THAT much worse than every other day. If you had a super Sunday Funday it can even seep into Tuesday. I ask, because whenever I DONT drink all weekend, Mondays really aren't that bad.
I'm going to assume the lady I sit next to doesn't binge drink all weekend, if ever. I agree with what you're saying
Not so much corporate speak, but we're getting the dates for our deliverables for our annual plan. We just got a schedule yesterday. My boss just told me he's in a meeting and the dates are being changed already. Couldn't make it one whole day.
My office is down the hall from my department's coffee pot. There are 2-4 people every day that get bent out of shape about something coffee related. Either someone did not re-fill the coffee pot after taking the last bit or someone turned the coffee pot off too early in the day (2pm). People have gone on witch hunts trying to find out who took the last cup of coffee and did not re-fill the pot. It's fucking coffee, everyone calm down.
We asked somebody a question on a conference call today and we're met with silence. Turns out, they were on mute and didn't realize it! We all had a hearty laugh.
That's kind of our office MO. "Good morning, Michael, how are you..." "I'm fantastic, there is not a place in the world where I would rather be than here right now in this office."
the start of every conference call: Person A: "Is now still a good time to talk?" Person B: "Yes it is" Person A: "Good, how's the weather in that office?" **2-3 mins of small talk*** Person A: "Alright, well let's get started..." I wish we just had a global vote to remove those 5-6 mins from every call.
Can we be friends? Didn't you just start the Coursera Python for Everybody? Just joined up for that too. I plan on learning python and trying to do statistical analysis/data analysis at my job. Having a couple guys from Elder Research come to our office this week to give a 3 day course on predictive analytics, data mining & some other stuff. pretty pumped.
"I think John is on mute" John - "Oh, LOL, sorry guys, I was sitting here talking on mute" Call "lolololololol"
That would be a dream come true what kind of industry/data are you in/using? I start my new job in a week where there are some elite tier Data Scientists on my team that I will get to help #yay
Our clients are people who ship stuff; parcel, truckload & ltl mainly w/ a little bit of international. We've talk about projects with clients moving DCs or placing DCs in certain locations based of their historical/projected shipping. So kinda.
I can't remember the last time I was in a meeting with other department heads that didn't involve the phrase "Let's not try to boil the ocean" at least once. And then yesterday I was told, "that's a great idea, can you socialize that?" to which I responded, "I have no idea what that means"
that seems like a good data set t do predictive stuff with, you could be a huge standout in the company I know 'R' is a good Stat program that seems not too bad to use. I'm sure you can do everything in python also In college I would have never thought I would be drawn to programming and want to do that for my career
Yeah there is a lot of predictive and behavioral shit that you can do with shipping. I was brought in to build and run a predictive analytics team. So we are all starting frontage ground up.
All I knew was SQL before trying to learn I think as long as you are good at approaching and solving problems and have an analytical mind you could be good at python
When it comes to corporate cliches, I caught myself saying one that might be one yesterday. I said "I don't have any meetings tomorrow, so I plan to play catch-up" Acceptable or unacceptable? I would lean unacceptable, but it's easier than saying the alternative with 5 extra words "I don't have any meetings tomorrow, so I plan to catch up on all of my work."
Anyone work with people in other time zones who suck at realizing you aren't in the same time zone? No I don't want to attend a call that starts at 6pm.
"You guys looking forward to the end of this call so you can go to lunch? Lololololol" "It's 2:30 in the afternoon here."
I manage our US customer base so half of ours are central, mountain or west coast and at least once a week I get a GoToMeeting request for 12pm est from someone.
On of our top sales guys always seems to have a new cliche or phrase to throw out when selling our software. We have four different types of user licenses a company can purchase and instead of just saying that, lately I overhear him say: "We have several different flavors of licensing that will fit everyone's needs."
One of the projects I primarily work on is with people in my old office on the east coast. The only thing worse than people trying to figure out another time zone is adding the fact that Arizona is 3 hours behind during DST and 2 hours otherwise.
came here to post this. The TD43 comes in three different flavors; standard, medium, and high output.
I've been getting a lot better with it and have been using it everyday. I like it better than R with the Pandas library in python so far I've been able to; merge, union data, remove duplicates, email, format excel stuff, send emails all in python along with other data manipulation stuff. I'm working on one now to get a certain field out of the active directory in outlook for everyone in the company (>100k people). Sounds sketchy and hackerish
Is it so fucking hard for people to open a fucking webex and get your damn key before calling into the meeting? I have a call and there are fucking 9 "Call In Users" where I have zero fucking clue who is speaking and 9 corresponding names with no voice or phone with their names. Call in user 7 is doing great intros right now.
What causes this? This guy I work with always has this. His name will pop up as if he's viewing but his audio is call in user 69 or whatever
