What’s the first thing you do when you get into the office in the morning?
Lockedby Michael Kassner · about 16 years, 8 months ago
Aside from getting coffee–what’s the first thing you do in the office? Answer e-mail? Do you visit a certain web site? If so, which one?

Email, calendar; voicemail, java fix

In reply to read up on tech news on various sites, including TR
Basically in that order .. email is always first even though I just checked it 30 minutes ago before leaving the house; print the day’s calendar; voicemail; then my second cup of joe.

I spend 15 mins in Outlook before i do anything else. I’ve usually got some sort of meeting to prepare for that I’ve forgotten about 🙂

In reply to What’s the first thing you do when you get into the office in the morning?
after that is done, I look to see if there are any phone messages.
I do a quick scan of TR and then start my day. As it is still so easy to miss anything going on, this trip is quicker and quicker.
Can you believe I only had one reply to my Q&A I put in Friday? 🙁
Either no one knows SuSE or only faradhi saw it.

it is a QUESTION.
Part of the problem because of the clusterphuck of throwing all questions in the same dumping ground is it got knocked down the list because of all the Winblows questions that got posted right afterwards. 🙁

I went away and checked because I thought that an old stager like yourself wouldn’t get it wrong but I thought I’d better leave in the original post because that’s the one thing that I hate – changing a post so that subsequent answers don’t make sense.
Unless, of course, it’s funny…

Sorry, it hasn’t happened before and I think my subconscious mind has already blanked it out. In fact, I’m beginning to believe that you really DID post it in Discussions and only moved it to trap me! You will pay for this, perfidious Michiganian (or Michigander)!

First i check my daily web comics (sinfest, sluggy, dilbert, userfriendly, pvp, dorktower, something positive, punch n pie) next i check twitter for friends, TR blogs, and engadget posts to read, when i get my email (gmail, bee.net, and work) then i check zdnet based off what they email me, and finally i check facebook and livejournal for updated. thank goodness i have a long trainride, i pre-load all of that stuff while eating breakfast, then read it all on the train and finish by the time i get in.

one of you? never. however, much as I like cats, and I do (used to have a house full of them), that is one extremely spooky looking feline on your avatar – just slightly out of focus and maybe just a little bit nightmarish. am I the only one getting jumpy here? (no jokes about computer mice either).
having said that, the last time I admitted to being paranoid, gg promptly posted ‘boo!’ which shows you how much sympathy you get on this board…

Can I revert to the flashy boob top, and long skirt with the extremely long split? Far more comfortable in this weather, and I’m less likely to get up into the local flight path ……

Steffi, can we PLEASE leave the latex for winter?
If I get the latex clobber on in this weather, I’m going to end up as a grease spot in the carpet…..
Can we agree on something cooler, more classy, more sexy? Diaphenous (sp?) chiffon perhaps? (or in my case, not so see through?!) Would go great with the suspenders, stockings and the sexy garter with the secret pocket…..

Not tooooo much MagiCool spray though – it could end up like a wet-tshirt competition! 😀 😀 :p :p 😉

by rob mekel · about 16 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Latex……….. :(
Then may I suggest to take some dress-code for the warm, cool or wet weather we are treated to these day’s.
Yesterday we had an inch of 5 of rain poring down within 1,5 hours. Holy … it looked like a swimming pool … or was it the river we look out on … couldn’t tell the difference. lol The advantage is that now it’s not as sweaty any more as it was before 🙂

Steffi, a TV show called “Charmed”
by charliespencer · about 16 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Latex……….. :(
I don’t know if it showed up in Europe. The show was a fantasy about three sisters who are good witches and fight evil, demons, warlocks, etc. In the episode pictured, they were helping an artist exploited for his ability to turn his drawings into reality. To help them battle the bad guys, he drew them as superhero types with attending powers.
The show ran in the U.S. for seven or eight years. The writers found frequent excuses for the wardrobe department to design some revealing and occasionally cheesy costumes. The Valkyrie costumes rivaled these, but in leather.

The first thing I do is check my emails. Then log onto TR and first see if anything has been added to the Yuk and if I need to reply to anyone, then have a look to see if theres any interesting discussions going on.
Then I log onto my iGoogle page and read all my jokes, see if theres anything interesting in the news, read the new Dilbert comic and check CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if they have a new comic, then check ITToolbox to see if theres any interesting blog posts, then check TR again then reply to any emails. Then its usually dinner time then after dinner I do it all again and then its usually home time :p

In reply to i think a few of us need toclarify..
I do spend more time on TR than actually working but I blame that on the fact that I’m only on work experience and everyone around me is earning almost three times as much so I therefore should do less work than them, makes perfect sense!
And after looking at CSS files all day like I have for the past few weeks you sometimes need not to work :p
And anyways 2 weeks today is my last day so I’ll be outta here soon (Fly home 2 weeks on Saturday 😀 ). Shame it’s to go back to a fast food joint for a year until I graduate 🙁 Although I’m flying home on 4th August and not going back to work until 24th 😀

I just don’t give a flying f*ck about the work i gotta do. When they gave me my new contract it was just the last straw i guess. No matter how much i do, or how hard i tow the line i get the same f*cking over as i always do..so whatever.. by the end of the week i’ll probably not be so mad and start doing a bit more..maybe

Yes as on two weeks Saturday I’m not going to be on TR as much, I will still come on though I’d miss you guys too much if I didn’t and I will be on all the time while in uni :p
Just unfortunatly my part time job involves standing in front of a till and not sitting in front of a computer.
And don’t feel bad we all get days like that, just sort your head out, and it seems to me you need to get outta there as soon as you can hun.

Seaweed

In reply to Nice to hear
I thought I was the only one, I can’t stand the stuff and I’ve been ridiculed for it by everyone I’ve ever been on holiday with.
Ok I’ll admit I have a mortal fear of seaweed coming anywhere within 10 feet of me, but still that’s no reason to ridicule me!

I have heard

In reply to Nice to hear
that in Japan they love Seaweed. Never been over there but that’s what I have heard. so maybe it’s a good idea to get over there to get over the fobic the 2 of you have over Seaweed. In other case I could recommend to come over to Amsterdam to try (only if you like) the other sweets. 🙂

First off
by maecuff · about 16 years, 8 months ago
In reply to What’s the first thing you do when you get into the office in the morning?
I scowl at anyone who tries to talk to me anytime in the first 15 minutes after I arrive. I don’t like humans early in the morning.
I read my email, Check my bank account (I’m obsessive), See what’s going on here, and lately, check the job listings.
I used to put some music on first thing, but our new management has banned music. Who does such a thing?
Sometimes, I read the headlines or something of the sort. Then I make a list of all the things I need to get done and them promptly ignore it as other things always come up.

In reply to What’s the first thing you do when you get into the office in the morning?
I close the databases that have run over night. Then make a coffee, check my email and browse the net usually tech republic site because of the emails i have received informing me of new articles.

a guy in my last job used to do that.
9.30 am like clockwork. sometimes he even took in a cup of coffee!he was a bit of a joker, so i could never decide if he was for real, or if it was his way of spending 20 mins reading the paper without getting in trouble…..

Server Rooms

In reply to ickk
are always a good place to hide for 20 minutes. They also have the added bonus of being cool on those long hot summer days!

In reply to Server Rooms
I used to duck in occasionally. ‘we’ had a pc set up in there that was outside the network so wasn’t monitored..great for surfing and playing games 🙂
sadly i don’t have access to the server room in this job, but its a pissy little room that is roasting anyways..so no matter!

In reply to yup..
Was going to give up IT and try the brolly selling game.
Even practiced the:
“geyabrollies & bluerinsecovershere, brolliesbluerinsecovershere”
My main worry however (and reason for not doing so) is the weathers apparent dislike for anything I have planned.

🙂I’ve just started mumbling uncontrollably about the weather (like a grumpy old person)..can’t say its an attractive thing to do..but what the heck
you could always inflict torture on yourself like i do..watch Sky Travel channel..all those deals going cheap..i don’t care if i was in a tent on a beach..as long as there was some sun
