Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    Timecards are ridiculous

    Me and HR have reached an agreement. I pretend I give a shit about my timesheet and she pretends that the times on it are accurate.

    I'm basically at that point for one job.

    The other gives me quite a bit of leeway, but it still has to vaguely approximate reality
    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    Desc: Blah blah meeting a friend for lunch at Fashion Island

    Desc's boss: Why don't you just take off the rest of the day after that though?

    Desc: well I guess I could use 4 hours of vacation ..

    Desc's boss: Dude, I don't care. Just go.

    Yay!

    I am

    jealous

    of this outcome.

    run away from work and meet me at Fashion Island and lunch is on me.

    I'll meet you at Fashion Island!

    (I assume you don't mean Fashion Island in San Mateo, CA. :( )

    Newport, Beach.. DONT YOU KNOW ANYTHING? God! There's no fashion in San Mateo. ;)

    The interns have wondered why they have to fill out time sheets. I pointed out they are hourly employees. They get paid by the hour. There were some blank looks.
    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    I don't get overtime. If I work more than twenty hours a week I get to enjoy a long lunch.

    It's.

    It's great.

    I'm told it is great.

    i have this weird blind spot for Grapenuts. Every couple of years I think, man, I could sure go for some Grapenuts right now.

    So I buy some, and take a bite, and am, like, wait, why is my mouth full of beige-flavored gravel? So I throw out the box, and then a couple of years later do it all again.

    So I got Superman: Red Son last night after watching a bunch of streams of Injustice.

    That was a really really good comic book. I wish they could all be like this.

    okay, i'm having second thoughts about this Game Chef analog game jam...

    I don't think the game concept I have in mind is all that impressive and probably hard to judge without trying it... :|

    Your boss doesn't care about your absence?

    is that good or bad?

    I think it's more that I'm salaried and come in early sometimes anyway, if someone comes in 5 minutes before I would leave with something they need done I just stay and do it, and Friday afternoon PST is like a total dead zone in the alcohol industry.

    It's not that she doesn't care if I'm here or not, but she has the attitude that 3 hours of an early weekend is her privilege to grant if she feels like it.
    Does not compute.

    My supervisor just asked me if it was 530 (quitting time) yet though. She has almost no authority on the other hand, at least as exercised, so neither of us can leave early.

    It always seems like contractors and hourly guys are always screwed on vacation and benefits though. I celebrated greatly when I finally moved to full time salary.

    Eh, this is entirely reasonable, it's not like their making them take it down, their basically saying, sure you can put up the entire content of our game without licensing it from us, but we get ad revenue.

    I would argue it's pretty much the ideal situation. The only real improvement would be being able to work out a split.

    -when I'm in a meeting and where
    -when I'm en route to another building and to which
    -when I'm in the caf or outside (which no one does)

    -when I'm working some place other than my desk and can be paged
    -when I'm working some place other than my desk and can be phoned

    Some of it is convenient since I can figure out who I can contact if necessary. But it also means you're flagged if you leave before 530 (but not if you get in late or early) or if you work less than 7 hours in a day.
