President Donald Trump demanded federal employees who have been working remotely "show up" in person Wednesday amid a week in which he visited the golf course three times and attended a NASCAR race. Trump shared his message for workers from Florida after visiting the Trump National Doral Miami earlier in the day, according to a
Why would I spend a ton of money to go out in public and play golf, when I can stay at home keeping that Teams icon green while playing videogames and watching mid-week Europa League fixtures?

It is the absolute truth when I say to you that the green Teams icon is one of the highlights of switching my work machine to Linux.
Once we got the clear from IT to dual boot (just had to match the hostnames to our Dell Service Tags so they could still identify the developer PCs on the network), Teams became a webpage in Firefox just like the rest of the Microsoft applications. So even when we are all in the office, it is totally normal for somebody to show as being idle for the last 10 minutes or the last hour.
There’s one guy in another country (team is split between two continents) that has clearly set it up so that he’s green 24/7, but everybody else is mostly “idle” because we aren’t doing things in the Teams browser tab. It’s nice to just not worry about it, especially on days I work from home.
Gosh that sounds lovely, especially the Linux part. Actually, mostly the Linux part.
It really is lovely for mostly that reason!
If only business leaders around the world also knew how I could apply major updates to my system without being locked out of it for 45 minutes, and how that translates into money. Oh and it’s free.
You just reminded me that I have to do my annual sexual harassment training. God damn it 😩
Trump and co haven’t ordered sexual harassment training to stop? I’m genuinely surprised.
No, it is training you how to sexually harass.
Maybe I get lucky and it’ll be stopped before the deadline? I’ll just wait to the last minute to do it, not that I was totally planning on doing that anyway. 👀
