I once DMed for a group that did that. I had the sidelined player take over some of my NPCs ;)

The more urgent the request, the less information is provided seems to be the rule.

Replying to a vodcast, on Youtube, was how I initially started making friends with various creatives in the Pacific Northwest. Now I'm out there visiting them, every year or two. I'd call that pretty social.

I have abused History as a cross skill in several different games, in this manner :ROFLMAO:

When I had been in the job for about 6 months, I had a received a work order from an engineering prof that stated every time he turned on his computer, his printer would spit out a page with a single character on it. I had a look and there was nothing that I could do. It was an issue with Win98...

The ones that get downright abusive over their demands are the worst. I fully expect this to get escalated all the way to my CIO because some profs think that a PhD makes them God and simply don't accept "No."

No, Professor, I can't help you with your esoteric issue with <Microsoft Product for Web>. It works correctly in the actual application. The notes for <Web Application> indicate that not all functions work in it. You getting petulant about it doesn't change the fact that I am not Microsoft.

I also took a bunch of pictures that I donated to the production, some of which will likely make it into the Dorkinomicon. Unfortunately while I was "ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille", I missed out on getting more shots of cast members in costume. It was a long day and they were understandably...

Might I suggest avoiding family Thanksgiving Dinner? It helps minimize the pressure.

Backers, make sure to check for a survey. Even late backers may get a chance to increase their pledges and will likely be included in the prop auction that will be dropping on Sunday. As an early (and foolishly lavish) backer, I already managed to snag something ;) The link to the Festival Cut...

Well, written into the show in that she was still present but only seen at remote sites. In this context I meant not actually replaced, just sidelined from the team for a bit and left as a cast member. They used the switch to the new season to hide it via her "reassignment to Area 51."

That happened with Amanda Tapping (Major Samantha Carter) and Claudia Black (Valla Maldoran) as well. their pregnancies were written into the show.

No real new information here, but I thought it was interesting. Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) talks about how he feels about the new series. Seems that the old cast were told about it, out of respect, a couple of days before the announcement. Warning: His internet connection isn't great.

I can't remember if it was here, or on a discord channel I'm on, where someone said that a batch of fibre they pre-ordered was getting redirected to a "higher priority client."

For us, at the moment, it's manpower. We got a new school of medicine. That got 4 new people, because that's what the support requirements take. Well needs 5, but you never actually get what you need. Four techs for the first year of a new school, that is currently less than a third utilized...

I'd like to see more IT people get experience with direct client contact, as well. I don't mean Help Desk, but rather face-to-face. I've been doing it for most of my career and far too many of my co-workers have no idea what it entails. They hide at their desks, in our basement cave, and just...

Yeah, the waits are pretty long. Then there's the mid-season splits that are also too long.

The next evolution. Not bad, but I know I can do better.
