Hi All,
I am sitting in a Ghost Ship today we were told to work from home today, at half past nine pm. Via 'Teams', fine but I was told off for using a non-secure machine to access the company network. I was on the list for a laptop but it hasn't arrived yet...  So I couldn't see the message, so I came to work!

At least no one is going to annoy you today
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Good point, but it looks like I am going to kicked out...

This whole thing is a bit of a comedy of errors and a bit of a wake up.
We figured that we, of all organisations, could work from home and not even notice the change (except for Brigitta's pizza runs). But suddenly we find VPN access isn't working for one person. Another is having Zoom issues. Laptops are now as scarce as toilet paper (and nowhere near as soft and pliant). State bodies looking to get an edge are going to have a field day sniffing around all these exposed and poorly setup connections.
One interesting thing is seeing the natural work day drift by a few hours, and in both directions. Some are working earlier than usual, some switching to a late (late!) morning start and going through till the wee hours. Way more civilised.
cheers

... Cyanide & Happiness[^] Rarely KSS, but today it's work safe (except one word in the first panel that I missed) - and a pun I wish I'd thought of! 
[edit]Ooops! I missed the "F word" in the first panel - may not be safe for work[/edit]

I think the way it starts off is NSFW (first panel)

I find NSFW overstated. Evidently some haven't worked in the kind of environment I sometimes did, let alone been on the playground when I was in 7th or 8th grade.

Who knew violin and dubstep could go together so well? (That's what it is, right? I'm terrible at naming genres)
I've been a fan of hers for quite a bit of time. And I don't even particularly like dubstep.
|
|
|
|
|
And I don't even know what's dubsteps! 
(Sorry, I have been living under a rock for I don't know how many years already, due to chronic sicknesses!  )

Look for dubstep on YouTube and play a couple of samples. I think you'll agree her music shares"that vibe"...but what makes her unique is mixing it up with violin - not an instrument most expect to hear in this type of electronic music.

This might be the year of Zwift and other indoor training apps.

Yep. Just started using Final Surge to run my workouts on my Garmin.
Problem is everytime I come across a new training app I think "I could write that..."

Priority #1 for day 2: Wash the blankets on the floor of the office that the dogs sleep on.  Whew!
Software Zen: delete this;

at least you don't have to wash your shirts and pants for 2 weeks

Interesting. I never knew that CP would be of interest to people in the laundry business. You learn something new every day...

The virus comes from China and one of the first symptoms may be the urge to open a chinese laundry shop. Then you shrink by half a meter and develop an appetite for cats, dogs, bats...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I hear that it affects your speech as well. You start to speak Pidgin Engrish...
