    Gotta say, work is not very good at product launches. They’re the sort of place that only puts out something new every 5 years or so but this has been a real hodge-podge.

    When I worked for the world’s largest instrument manufacturer we would sometimes have 3 product launches in a week, but they were bad at launches in their own way. They’d announce something then say stock wouldn’t arrive for a couple of months. When stock finally hit stores we weren’t talking about it because we were preparing for the next product launch.

    🍻 cheers. I’m trying DHC Twilight Hazy IPA which is from a Japanese brewery near Mt Fuji. It’s very malty for an IPA. I purchased it at Sessions bottle shop in Box Hill. They have a vast range of Japanese beers. What they didn’t have is a Thai spirit called Mekhong. It’s really a rum type spirit. If anyone can turn me on to a supplier I will be your best friend.

    Melbcat seems a bit grumpy and withdrawn today. She ate a bit of wet food after the nausea meds kicked in, then after a while of hiding she came out and had some biccies.

    But she just seems a bit off. There was yelling at the door and to go up on the chair and now she’s just chilling looking a bit unwell. The vet said to monitor until tomorrow and call back if needed.

    I found more of the old brand of flea drops so old mate should be sorted for a few months.

    Date went okay. Guy was nice. We had some things in common but also were in different worlds. I think after I meet these next two people, I will quit this app thing.

      You’re going to quit because the very first person was nice and the date went well?

    I took the best client facing IT guy with me into a meeting today.

    Let me just say, he’s an awesome guy and great to work with.

    However.

    These guys really overestimate what the average person understands. Now I get why they hired me.

      I almost got offered a job because I could explain Juniper and MLPS even though I don’t have the technical knowledge.

      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        If you have good hygiene and can translate any technical concept to a normal person you’re basically an instant hire in IT.

      Back when I worked as a business analyst, about 80% of my work was translating geek into human and back again. It’s a thing. Geek being insurance speak/legalese.

        My job description is “Parts Interpreter”.

        I have to translate descriptions like “Thingy”, “Whatchamacallit” and “Doo-dad” into useful descriptions through dialogue with the customer.

        It is amazing how often the customer doesn’t want to work with you in a dialogue and doesn’t answer any questions or respond to clarifications.

      agree

      the hard part is not making average people defensive

      source
      • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        Part of the reason I gave up on my relationship with my father is that he started off defensive when learning about computers and devolved into a full on adult tantrum when I told him he didn’t need to know everything at the start. Specifically I was setting up DNS and he wouldn’t let me continue but refused to listen to anything I had to say. Still bothers me. Were I richer I’d get therapy for it but as it is I don’t think there’s any reconciling between us at this point.

        If it makes you feel better, it’s probably me who reimburses you for the cost of those. I pay a ton of hearing aid claims

        I’ve had bowel cancer screening and breastscreen letters so far. Apparently turning 50 means your body is going to try to kill you.
