Asheville CharlieYa know.. you hear a lot about how young people don't want to work or don't have work ethic but what are you comparing them to? When people could have a regular job and afford to buy a house? When a car note wasn't half of your income?When going to the grocery store wasn't a choice between food, rent, or utilities?I work with young people and I can tell you it's not that they're lazy. It's that you've removed the incentive for them to care.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worklife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worklife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truth</a>

Flipboard Tech DeskIf the rapid ascension of AI has your head spinning, imagine how it must feel to be an AI researcher. “Fierce competition between AI labs has fomented an isolating atmosphere … while the rising stakes have ratcheted up stress levels,” reporter Kyle Wiggers writes.

ischrisstarting a new work project and it's really exciting for several reasons, a primary reason being that it's in a stage that involves a lot of sitting and just thinking about stuff... or exercising and thinking about stuff! It's really nice to count my exercise hours as work hours once again. Haven't done that since leaving full-time science research behind. On a related note, got in a 6.5 mile run today! <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RemoteWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RemoteWork</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/worklife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worklife</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸hmmm... maybe my scorn for MS Office is misplaced? was it Mail.app not dealing with big things well?I randomly went to the Connection Doctor window in Mail.app, turned on the activity log and clicked "show logs".It brought me to the log folder which has 200MB-1GB log files...and one that was OVER 25GB!I deleted it! We'll see if Mail.app and Exchange are better now, but if you're ever looking for a quick space recovery. Look for those log files!

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸fun fact: Earlier that month, at the beginning of the semester, both myself and my colleague came down with a flu-like illness. We both recovered fine, but both of us thought we probably got it from a student in the class who was also sick. We didn't think much of it at the time.But now.. we both believe we and that student, probably had COVID.I didn't get COVID again until July 2022 when we went on our <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/EVCrossCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EVCrossCanada</a> trip. <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pandemic</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Work</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/WorkLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorkLife</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸I've been wrestling with the reliability of my work email (MS Exchange) for a few weeks and decided today that I would eliminate one potential issue and drastically cut the size of the mailboxes. IOW, delete tons of old stuff. I had an uninterrupted string going back to 2011, and even some from 2005!Anyway, I had to decide where the 'cut off' should be. I decided:"Coronavirus monitoring” January 31, 2020 10:56AMIt really did all change after that! <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pandemic</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Work</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/WorkLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorkLife</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Today marks the 365th day since I started Door Dashing. My first Dash was Dec 31, 2023.It's a little slow tonight, as I thought it might be. But I won't be going out tomorrow night on New Years. So I'm hanging out in the parking lot, listening to tunes. 🎶 This has turned into a 2nd job. A reliable source of income to cover costs. It's by no means ideal. My car got rearended at a stoplight in June. I have a sore shoulder some nights. I would like to do other things on my evenings and weekends, but it hasn't been bad. I enjoy it. I have actually got to engage more with hockey (both local <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/bulldogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bulldogs</a> and NHL <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/canucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canucks</a>) by listening to radio broadcasts like the old days.I've come to know my town a lot better. I've also come to know a much more broad variety of the people that call it home. There is comeraderie between dashers as well as with restaurant workers. Before, and when I started, I was frankly embarrassed, ashamed, that I was doing this.What a stupid, privileged, ignorant attitude... totally unnecessary. There should never be shame in working. My family and friends have been so supportive. I feel good and lucky to be able to do this. I am also grateful to live in a province that has forced the delivery companies to pay better wages.Onward we go. Tip your delivery people if you can, but if you can't, that's ok too. We're all just getting by the best we can. ❤️ 🍔 🍗 🍕 🥤 🍷 🌯 🚙 <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/doordash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doordash</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ubereats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubereats</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/SkipTheDishes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SkipTheDishes</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/gigwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gigwork</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/worklife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worklife</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/affordability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#affordability</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/delivery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#delivery</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Guys!! i think my very pointed whining (with spreadsheets!) back in September to my local bus service may have borne fruit.1) A month ago I sent an email asking for an update on getting me some historical schedules to continue my comparison and (!!) was informed the person in charge of scheduling had moved on…2) the manager committed to get me the schedules within the month.3) yesterday I got an email from the manager saying the schedules were ready for me to pickup. (all the way back to 2000!)4) Today I see this service notice for changes coming January 5 which includes additional buses and, most interestingly *3* changes to the Qualicum-Woodgrove including increased service and 'minor route changes’.They haven't published the schedule itself yet but hope springs eternal that this could be an improvement that allows me to get back on the bus more often! This fall has been the least I have taken the bus in probably 15 years purely out of deteriorating schedules.🤞🤞🚋 <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Bus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bus</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BusLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BusLife</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/WorkLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorkLife</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Nanaimo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nanaimo</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/RDN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RDN</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VancouverIsland</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCPoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Commuting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Commuting</a>
