But I don’t. I have never played golf. I have no desire to play golf. I never played golf while working remotely…I never even thought about it.
This is insulting - not because he’s saying I’m lazy and don’t do my work, but because he thinks I would play golf.
If I wanted to be lazy and not do work while being remote, I would play video games like other civilized people. I have some self respect.
Why would I spend a ton of money to go out in public and play golf, when I can stay at home keeping that Teams icon green while playing videogames and watching mid-week Europa League fixtures?
Source: currently home sick, but feeling good enough to clock a few hours of required training and data backups.
It is the absolute truth when I say to you that the green Teams icon is one of the highlights of switching my work machine to Linux.
Once we got the clear from IT to dual boot (just had to match the hostnames to our Dell Service Tags so they could still identify the developer PCs on the network), Teams became a webpage in Firefox just like the rest of the Microsoft applications. So even when we are all in the office, it is totally normal for somebody to show as being idle for the last 10 minutes or the last hour.
There's one guy in another country (team is split between two continents) that has clearly set it up so that he's green 24/7, but everybody else is mostly "idle" because we aren't doing things in the Teams browser tab. It's nice to just not worry about it, especially on days I work from home.
Gosh that sounds lovely, especially the Linux part. Actually, mostly the Linux part.
It really is lovely for mostly that reason!
If only business leaders around the world also knew how I could apply major updates to my system without being locked out of it for 45 minutes, and how that translates into money. Oh and it’s free.
You just reminded me that I have to do my annual sexual harassment training. God damn it 😩
Trump and co haven't ordered sexual harassment training to stop? I'm genuinely surprised.
No, it is training you how to sexually harass.
Maybe I get lucky and it'll be stopped before the deadline? I'll just wait to the last minute to do it, not that I was totally planning on doing that anyway. 👀
Right what makes Trump think I play golf. Maybe the occasional putt putt. But golf nah.
VR mini golf is where it's at. Hehe. There is a course on walkabout mini golf that is officially themed to the movie "the labyrinth", some pretty crazy holes on that one, especially when you get to the MC Escher stairs scene with the baby. It's fun trying to hit the ball from a completely different perspective. Not to mention all the other courses that are also awesome. There are a bunch of free built-in ones, but special licensed ones like that, of course, are DLC. But the DLC courses are only like 3 bucks, so kinda whatever. Playing each course once is more than worth 3 dollars, let alone if you are gonna play them a few times. Only the host of the game needs to own the course, so it doesn't fragment up the user base.
Walkabout is the only thing I use my Quest 3 for, and I love it. I play every week with my friends around the country and it's a perfect venue to socialize and have a blast mini-golfing. I joke that I have a $3 a month golf membership because I buy every new course that comes out (Usually ~1 a month) and it's easily worth it. If you like the Labyrinth vibes you should try Meowwolf, easily my favorite.
Sounds good, will look into it.
Also VR piracy is alive and well for those that have no other options. My favorites are beat saber and power wash simulator, both have dlcs like you described though
