I normally go out for my lunch at about 1.30 or 2, in a day which is roughly 9.30 to 6. This makes the post-lunch part of work pleasantly short, and I get to 6 without feeling at all bored.
Today I had a lunchtime meeting so I had lunch from 12 to 1. It's now 5.15 and I just want to go home  .
I've always felt that the norm of taking lunch at midday is weird – people don't centre their living day around the clock, we don't go to bed at 8pm and get up at 4am ... so why make 12pm the 'middle' of your day when it clearly isn't?

Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe. I get up at 4:45, I'm at work by 6:00, and I'm out at 4:00. Lunch is around 12:30 or so, after I've run or worked out.

That's fair enough if you actually do centre your day on the clock by getting up at crazy o'clock.

It's a couple of factors.
I'm a morning person, so going in that early is less annoying to my coworkers. That whole chipper "good morning!" thing has worn off by the time the rest of them roll in at 8:30 or so.
Going in at 6:00 and coming home at 4:00 keeps me off the highway at peak traffic time.

Wussies! My grandfather would get up just after he went to bed and walked 14 miles in the snow in subzero temperatures, year round, uphill both ways with only old newspapers for shoes and coat and worked 27 hours a day without lunches or breaks. Stop whining.
At least that's what he told us when we were kids.

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

It's not the total number of patches that burns me up, it's the number of reboot cycles triggered by dependencies combined with having to download a large number of patches (and often multiple reboot cycles) before Windows Update will even offer a Service Pack for installation.
(Yeah I know I could probably bypass the SP thing by downloading and manually running the SPs offline installer; but that has a much larger effort requirement than just mashing the Check for Patches Now and Reboot Now buttons repeatedly.)

Hello All,
What project management software/tool are you using to manage tasks, deadlines, errors, communication with team etc.
I started a web development company last year and initially we had only 2-3 projects. So it was easy to manage. But now projects are increasing and so is the team and I think it's not efficient to communicate via email (other than face to face meetings). Now I am looking for a proper project management solution where I can assign team and monitor progress, deadlines etc.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I didn't know we have that tool available to us; very cool!!

We are standardising on JIRA with the Greenhopper agile plugin. This is more of a development perspective tool but it certainly does well to store tasks, known bugs and things that need doing, and I believe some people put PM type information in there as well as the more well defined developer stories. If you set up your 'sprints' appropriately for any agile task board it will give you good monitoring of progress and impending deadlines.

We used OnTime a my last job. Management liked it, devs hated it. We use JIRA at my current job, I'm not impressed but its less annoying than OnTime. I use BugNET at home, its all free and stuff.

Hi Andy,
(Shameless plug...)
Please take a look at the link in my signature. And let me know if you have any questions.

Try this[^] Note that the tool for holding the incentive is remarkably similar to this tool[^] which means that it can be used in an alternative mode for motivating assignees to expedite tasks. Quite versatile.
