Unless we mess it up somewhere in between.

Nice to know there's hope for the next generation. And you and your wife definitely deserve kudos for how you're raising your daughter.

Funny isnt it, how moralistic kids can be.
Back in primary school my daughter was about 8, and her groups friends decided one of them wasnt welcome in the group that day. My daughter said "well if she isnt, I am not either" and went off and played with the excluded girl.
Such consideration, such maturity from one so young, it really makes you think.

If more kids had the same ideals the world would be a lot better place.

Your daughter may be only 11, but she has the wisdom of Solomon and a heart of gold to boot. And clearly parents who've instilled a good set of values in her. You are a blessed family.

Sorry if it came across serious, of course I knew you were not just responding for puns. However, I was just starting a pun by responding to you (sole).

These are the bonus moments of being a parent... and be asured - not all parents have them. So while giving full credit to your wonderfull kid, you can take a 'great job' for yourself too...

So much empathy and maturity in a 11 year old. The world has a better future for sure.

As we monitor the activities of our customers, we could see there's so much of non-peak hours where there's 0 activity happening on the floor. After observing this pattern for a while , I felt like "There you go! Let's wear that business consultant hat and call up the manager of a company & explain about how we could do effective resource optimizations, and bring down idle time of employees".(just to boast how our intelligent software is ,helping to spot weak links in their company's operations )
Me: Hello Sir, great day to you. Like I've given a hint over email about Resource optimizations, we could explore further on how we could tweak the resource utilizations.
Manager: Sure
*Me:* I see a lot of idle time in our activity monitor of your team. During this time your employees simply sit and do nothing?
*Manager:* No we'll all be chatting together.
*Me (in mind):* Well, okay let me go back and tweak my software.
I felt it so funny that he is completely okay to leave his employees gossip around and do nothing during off peak hours.
Hehe

On the other hand, maybe he figures it's good for staff and morale if they all get to wind down and chill between the really busy periods?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yeah , could be. As long as they are doing good with their business, all these chill offs are okay
I just found it funny how he literally took the word "idle time" lol

I agree - I have done the burn out dance and it's much healthier to have a balance than being 100% all the time.
which also reminds me of a boss who made a big song and dance, as he was wont to do, of knowing how frequently reports were run and who ran them.
So I created a report to show this.
He hadn't figured out that the very report itself would keep track of how many times it had been run and by whom - so a few months later I took a peek and guess who had looked at the report a total of once - yes the boss...

That kind of micromanagement is usually frowned upon; next thing you'll be timing how long people spend on the toilet.

Hehe actually it's in context with 0 sales hours.

Does not provide me with context; all you see is that your application is not used during those hours, no additional information given

For example, A Customer support team that's having 0 calls. On the other hand there's pile of email queries waiting to be cleared.
We see what's pending, we see employees are logged in, but just because there's no "calls" waiting they just sit idle. They could very well be used to take up pending email cases.
It's a serious resource engagement issue.

So, the 1/2 or so I spend with my manager in the morning reviewing the activities from the previous day, action plans from the meetings, reviewing how to address requests from internal customers (that would be addressing an internal 'sale' if you will).. because there is no apparent monitored activity is 'idle time'? Hmmm.. no.. that is productive time.
