    Reported the last post bug again. There was supposed to be some fix, but not sure if  it deployed while I was gone.

    Hope you feel better, Jason, and it's not serious.

    Thanks, and yeah, I'm doing better.  Around lunch I was doing better, so I'm leaning towards "cold + stress from the VPN issues = feeling worse than I really am"

    From an e-mail I saw from a dev on my work phone earlier, looks like our sysadmin folks might've lightened up on a restriction on the VPN and are allowing 1433 through the tunnel, which will make it MUCH easier to fix problems.

    How do we know she hasn't already?

    I should have said "UK", shouldn't I...  There don't appear to be any remote/international opportunities.  I suppose the clue is in the name.

    Actually, Allstate has a Belfast office and we do remote for IT workers.

    And right now, everyone is doing remote. We are well equipped for remote work.

    Bit of a commute from Essex for Northern Ireland for me. 😉

    Sent home from work yesterday AM and now working from home.

    Now in isolation with Wife and family, what a bummer.

    🙁

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

    Well, today I was drinking my coffee, trying to come to grips with another day of trying to actually get some work done at home. The housework has slipped. The kids are going stir crazy. I was not ready to face the day. Ian wakes up, comes up to me and says “Good morning to the best Pappy ever! I love you!” My day just got a lot easier.

    If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

    we just got graded on a scale of risk

    but for those of us that are level 2 or higher (children or wife at risk) (0=you will die)  but we have now been asked to split into blue and red teams.. blue in the office on odd days, red on even days … the details aren't quite final but now we have a 50% chance of figuring out which team is stealing the toilet rolls 🙂

    We've just had the notification from on-high to work from home.  I'm going to see today out in the office then literally head to the hills indefinitely.
