Also, we have now taken to hiding our laptops whenever we leave the house. I'd like to think we're not a particularly attractive target, since we don't have a lot of major electronics or fancy-looking items, and our schedules are somewhat erratic. But I still worry, of course, mostly about what might happen to the (decidedly indoor-only) cats if someone broke in.
Yeah, after the recent break-ins, I've started locking up the laptop when I leave. Our house is one of the smallest and crappiest, so I feel like it's not an appealing target, but I imagine thieves target whatever they can.
Apparently at Walmart, business meetings routinely start at 7am. So.
It's Friday! I thought that would never happen.
What are people doing this weekend?
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
Well *I'd* grumble, but only in my head. And I'd show up for the meeting. But I've been spoiled by working for MSFT, because core hours there are understood to start at 10am.
I worked with engineers. They thought 7:30am was reasonable, if not late (ouch).
My old boss wanted us in by 7:50 or so, so we could be oriented and have read overnight emails before Monday through Friday 8am meetings. My current boss doesn't drive in before 9. Neither does my manager. We have 1 8am meeting on the regular books, and that's because it's a con call with India.
I'm skating, working, going to a movie, SAME AS ALWAYS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT, BITCHES.

No, that is the middle of sleepy-time.
t /went to bed around 2:30am last night

I bet there's data to support that the earlier the meetings, the more toxic the corporate culture.
