to be fair, Rae named kitten after a demon.
catnik 3:07pm
what did she expect?
earldebuke 3:13pm
Yup
earldebuke 3:14pm
Can't wait to hear about Orcus the goldfish
earldebuke 3:24pm
AFK For another half hour sorry
robinrahne 3:55pm

shadylady 3:56pm

shadylady 3:57pm

robinrahne 3:57pm
Drive safe!
earldebuke 3:58pm
earldebuke 3:58pm
I have arrived
robinrahne 4:00pm
Oh, grand.
robinrahne 4:00pm
😉
robinrahne 4:00pm
Yucky bad weather here.
earldebuke 4:01pm
It is snowing here
robinrahne 4:01pm
Dammit...student needs to talk to me Right Now. BIAB.
earldebuke 4:01pm
Drizzly soon to die snow, but snow
earldebuke 4:01pm
Understood. Later!
robinrahne 4:06pm
And of course, she hasn't appeared yet....
earldebuke 4:07pm
Of course not
robinrahne 4:10pm
Okay, I'll keep that Meet open in case she shows up.
earldebuke 4:11pm
nod Good idea
robinrahne 4:14pm
There she is.
earldebuke 4:18pm
🙂
robinrahne 4:22pm
Little grade-grubber. But she did alert me to a problem.
earldebuke 4:24pm
And thus she may continue to exisit
rae 4:33pm
gotta love work. "Hey, I know you don't know how to do this, and neither do I, but our client wants to pay us to do it for them, and it's money in the bank, so please learn"
robinrahne 4:34pm
Yup. I learned how to code financial reports under exactly such a circumstance. Got a bonus for it, too.
robinrahne 4:36pm
Oh, they need to play this at a Balor court:
robinrahne 4:57pm
Ha! I was just going to ask...
rae 5:01pm
Yes, I love interrupting my research to explain for you to a client why their bullet points aren't "pretty enough" on their site
rae 5:02pm
Mobile responsiveness, go study that for a few years and then complain, end of story
rae 5:02pm
"But I want it to WRAP"
rae 5:02pm
TOO BAD
robinrahne 5:03pm
Hmm...that's not do-able? I'm just kind of surprised.
rae 5:04pm
I simplified it, it's more of a thing than that.... but sometimes the answer is just "because that's the way things work, and it would take too long to explain"
rae 5:04pm
clients sometimes don't like that answer, sadly
robinrahne 5:04pm
So true.
rae 5:04pm
sometimes I'm lucky enough to kick it up further to the boss and see him explain in a huge tech gobbledy gook
rae 5:04pm
"YOU ASKED"
rae 5:05pm
"NOW MAKE SENSE OF IT"
robinrahne 5:05pm
"Why can't you just make it do...the THING?!" flapping of hands
rae 5:05pm
And I get that! Sometimes I just want it to do the thing too. Too often the answer is, "well, you didn't pay for bells and whistles, so it won't go toot toot."
shadylady 5:11pm
🏡 🚿 ✨
robinrahne 5:11pm
Ahhh, so fresh-smellin'!
shadylady 5:12pm
"It won't go toot toot." Is my new favorite tech explaination.
shadylady 5:15pm
Who am I? Where am I?
robinrahne 5:17pm
Could be Adam @ Farm. I have vanish in about 20 minutes, though, so we might need to pause.
shadylady 5:18pm
How long a vanish, BrekkeP?
earldebuke 5:18pm
Till 8 I think
