We did this, but wound up cancelling before it paid off.  Then we bought an eero mesh system and stuck the router on the shelf in the basement.

Sorry, I should not have just used the word router (though one could argue that at least one of the mesh devices serves as a router, the others are just access points).  Yes, buy a modem and router or if your place is large, a wifi mesh system.

Meh. The confusion is probably mine. We have one of those quantum gateway things. I don't know if it modulates, demodulates or routes, but it is definitely gathering dust.

Oh yeah, I see.  I buy my modems and routers separately as the modem should last longer than the router as modem technology develops much slower than WiFi technology.

I demand more excitement from this board this week

Ok…I’m enjoying the Van Weezer album, it’s great to stream when picking up carry out on a Friday

I'm always really hesitant to get outdoor tickets for concerts in August but it appears like things are going to be spot-on weather/temperature-wise for Bright Eyes and Lucy Dacus in Charlottesville tonite. Dinner at Tavola as well should make this a quality use of half a PTO day.

Nice! Boardies ramping’ up!

Make sure your timesheet is correct, sir.

I, like virtually every other salaried employee on Earth, am not filling out a timesheet.

I'm admittedly surprised Jules has to request PTO.

While I get 5 weeks of PTO which is atypical (for this country anyway), my workplace is not Lord of the Flies and I do need to tell people when I am not coming in so they don't think I'm dying on the side of the road somewhere when they can't find me.

indeed, wouldn't want to foster such false hopes.

same.  well, not daily - i have to log my hours once a week in one system, and separately twice a month in another system, and i have to use yet a third to track PTO. 

don't nobody know my troubles but god… and two different HR dept.

well if I'm being honest…it's not daily, but that's the expectation
and yes another system for PTO (plus you have to update a company cal and have to update an in/out board)

What is this inefficient trickery.

Fair enough on the "we have to bill clients" for those in the MSP/legal/etc world, but what is this three-systems nonsense?

As executive management, if I work even one hour a day, I do not take PTO.  PTO for me is only when I take an entire day off, and yes I burn a lot of vacation at the end of every year.

so how many 1 hour work days do you do a year?

I'll be doing one of those next Thursday, and my timesheet will reflect that.
