Ya that’s our employment insurance. Glad you were able to get back on your feet!

Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you’re the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Didn’t care that I’d had a TL cover for me as we’d always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That’d be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

It tastes good, but i feel pretty guilty doing it

I don’t do it often, but pasta with a cream of mushroom or clam chowder soup.

Maybe not too weird, but that’s probably as weird as it gets.

So apologize if you feel you need to and use the cash you put behind your phone in case of emergency if need be.

That’s their problem not yours.

Not sure why someone would downvote your opinion and relevant story there…

It still seems relevant enough though for the time being. Getting the stink eye isn’t a no, and maybe you’ll have to be a little picky on where.

Still better than not having it at all though.

Could throw a couple quarters in there just in case as well

Put $20-50 behind your phone in the phone case.

If you ever forget / lose your wallet, you’ll have a little cash.

I heard it tastes better.

Do you play a brass instrument?

Oh look at Mr You can just do it this way or that way.

I STILL CANT WHISTLE ALL YOU WHISLTING ELITISTS!!!

😭

You beat me to it.

Start em young.

Also I lost the game.

Is it his company? It could be his baby and his passion.

If it’s just some random manager… well, I got no clue lol

There was perpetual stew?

I tried doing a dual boot to Mint awhile back, I did the mint backup at the start like it suggests, changed some things, broke it, restored from the backup thinking it was great id already made one, and broke the WHOLE pc.

I had to pull the battery on the BIOS to get it to go beyond a black screen when turning on.

It was terrible.

It seem to recall at the time recommendations about not doing dual boot, and if you wanted to dual boot, remove the main OS drive when you install Linux. Then put it back in.

I don’t see him mentioning low level audio performance is a requirement. And he listed flutter as something he had considered.

Can you not process audio in the JVM?

Edit: targeting JVM he could also use the JNI and do the low level stuff in c++ if needed. I don’t know how that’d cross to iOS but it’d work on all 4 other platforms.

Edit: And he doesn’t need to target mobile either, he can just target the JVM, write it in Kotlin + Compose and if needed write native code if he needs more performance.

You can try Kotlin Compose Multiplatform.

It can target JVM (windows, Linux, Mac) and then work on iOS and Android.

Android and JVM are stable. IOS is alpha and works well. Should be beta this year.

WASM support is coming as well but is experimental.

You can do as much multiplatform as you want and do as much platform specific as you want.

Compose itself is a declarative UI framework. Your UI is code.

Edit: You do require a Windows, Linux, and Mac machine to build the executables for each desktop JVM app, as well as a Mac for an iOS app. Android you can build on any of them.

I’d greatly appreciate a “requires account” on app stores.

Looks like Lifeograph has a 3.0 release candiate which is brand new last month. Maybe they’ve have made things simpler and added a better theme?
