In today's #WTFGermany #wtf #Germany building code

Public buildings may not procure single serving coffee machines with capsules, or offer bottled / canned beverages, or have disposable cutlery.

But: the allowed heat transmission coefficent of building elements is so high that summer will turn rooms into ovens. They trust users to open windows to provide enough ventilation and cooling. They use wood pellets to heat water for a high temperature district heating system instead of having a low temperature installation.

Today I had to reboot my work laptop, which meant it installed the updates, and upgraded to Windows 11. All in all, a hour work.

Then I realized the update/upgrade had removed the teams meeting add-in from Outlook. Had a Google, tried to fix it, no go. So I opened a ticket with IT.

IT was busy for 45 minutes (in which I could not use my work laptop), and tried several times what I had already tried and a couple extra things. They did not fix it. They decided to escalate to second line.

So now I'm waiting for a solution from second line.

Just got an email from a (hvac) professional association announcing a course. Went to the website to check it. The following pictures are shown:

1. Male with t-shirt reading " FE field engineer" holding laptop working in front of a server rack
2. Female it athleisure attire, bare stomach, draped on top of a chiller
3. Typical union makes strong picture of four hands, each gripping a wrist, forming a hashtag shape. None of them "typically female"
4. Male in dark shirt, holding papers, staring at a whiteboard full of schematics / drawings.

Now can someone tell me this is not blatant sexism? I know I work in a male dominated field, but this is utter bullshit.

Monday morning, first work day after vacation: out of coffee error.

My inbox only had 100 mails after two weeks off!

How to procrastinate in the morning and get your active minutes for the day : mow about 3/4 of the yard, that after no mow May (and part of June) had above the knee grass.

Doing it in the morning because it's cooler, and that area is in the shadow. The other 1/4 will wait to the evening when it's in the shadow.

Benefits of working from home and having a flexible schedule...

This is investor slide deck shit right here. #Barbie #Chicago #worktoot

Reasons why I rather work from home: so I can yell "FUCK OFF" at the top of my lungs at some people without repercussions.

Pick me up during a crappy day / week: 99% cocoa chocolate.

My emotional support stuffed sheep is doing extra hours the last weeks.

Work is being a huge pita that makes me reconsider my whole career. The issues I'm seeing are not company, but industry wide.

Took a half day worth of overtime today, because I was feeling drained.

OF course a manager demanded I went in to the office for a meeting (that yes, could have perfectly been a teams, since half the people were on teams anyway). Which meant wasting 1h driving there and back.

So my half day off started a bit later and even more tired, so I did some #YogaNidra deep guided relaxation, which often helps.

Then I watched some more of the yoga for athletes course I am taking (super interesting session on #YogaForCrossfit #CrossFit), and afterwards I went for a walk.

And I'm sure people at work judged me because I took time off in the middle of a delivery period, but it's either that or ending sick / exhausted, so I've been setting boundaries and doing what I need to do to keep myself healthy.

Frustrating when you're trying to get a couple of high priority things off of your task list and you're waiting for various co-workers to respond to requests related to these tasks.

Guess I'll move on to a less pressing task that I don't need anyone's input for ...

Working from home with this loose cannon…

Werk is hartstikke gezellig vanmiddag. Vol spelletjes, grapjes, muziek en verkleedpartijen. Inmiddels sta ik in de keuken om een pan andijvie stamp voor 4 kids en 2 volwassenen op tafel te toveren.

Personality types: conflict seekers and avoiders #worktoot

Despite reams of literature, I'm not sold on these labels, particular because "conflict avoidant" is often pejorative and/or synonymous with passive or passive/aggressive.

seekers→champions of an idea or position

avoiders→stewards of relationships and harmony

Are you a champion or steward?
