Wtf do you talk about 5 hour meetings daily? Jesus christ, when do you guys get time to work?
Well, this isn't a typical thing since it's a data demo of a product, but I usually have four hours worth of meetings a day which range from project status updates to configuration to process mapping. The IT world is very meetings heavy and doesn't always allocate time wisely.

Mostly about what Matt was wearing today I suppose.

I work with a Matt on a project; definitely not a good look for him today on Zoom.

I like going to the office -- and would probably be happiest with a hybrid setup of flexibly going in and not during the week.
This is the key, that choice to do whichever 90% of the time.
I liked going in when I had a job with great environment and co-workers roasting each other all day.

But that was one job. The rest was crap and I'd much rather work from home.

And yes, commuting is hell but it's the best time for listening to music.
:agree: The roasting was the only thing that kept me sane at my last job.
I fucking hate when people feel the need to schedule meetings on a Friday AND always use the entire time allotted for the meeting despite the fact all of the agenda items for said meeting were addressed in the first half of the meeting.
That's when you start throwing out some bullshit about how you're going to circle back and touch base next week, then something about synergy and just leave.

Mormons don’t do Amish.
I downloaded some unseemly videos from the Internet that say otherwise. :stuckup:

All valid points including the pointer about relocating to Chad
Gotta be a Chad to get the Stacy, yo. Even a Chaddam.

Anyone a boss on Outlook? Have this issue where I accidentally close it while using stupid work PC.

Would be nice if instead of closing first time, when I accidentally click the X, it would prompt me asking if I'm sure I want to close?

That would be far too obvious for Microsoft to have a close prompt, wouldn't it? Of course they don't.

You might find a tool that someone has made to do this, but personally I don't trust a lot of these in terms of security.

Only thing I can think of is that when you boot up you create a new message with some random text in the email address and body, that way if you accidentally close you'll get a prompt to save or not. But you'd have to do this every day...

Actually, just found this on the same principal: http://sjcblogs.sanjac.edu/its/2016/03/28/prevent-outlook-from-closing-accidentally/

Set a message for future delivery and it might work better.

besides the workaround jay mentioned, there's a commercial software for that:

30-day trial is avaliable. pretty expensive for what it does tho
