Napa_Don 688 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I did it. I changed all my bulbs to Hue bulbs. I switched out all my light fixtures for ones that can take bulbs (some were just LED built in) I saw two new in box 3 bulb + switch + hub kits on eBay listed for $100/each so I offered $75 and it was accepted. And then I bought some just the white ambiance bulbs for the bathroom since I’ll never use the color function in there anyways. And then I bought some on prime day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I don't have any of the color ones, just white ambiance and normal white. It's such a waste of money, but I love it. The software is just top tier. Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 MD/CIO and I had another chat today. He brought up compensation and kind of hemmed and hawed a bit before asking "What number are you thinking?" I replied with "Well, what I'm thinking of is where Rick from Pawn Stars says the first guy to state a number has already lost the negotiation." and looked directly at him stone faced. He hemmed and hawed a few seconds and said I was thinking 100. I said that's kinda what I was thinking too so that's what he's going compensation board with. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Summer has been a bit more relaxed for me. Went on vacation for a week to Atlanta at the beginning of the month. Got to see the Braves at SunTrust for the first time. We also went to Zoo Atlanta and visited with some family and friends. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,757 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I haven't been to Atlanta outside the airport to do anything of substance since I was about 13 or 14. I don't really feel a strong pull to even go to Georgia again. I done love the fruit stands, but that isn't Atlanta related. Is Atlanta a cool city? What's it known for? I only know it as the busiest airport in the country. I know nothing other than that. Link to post Share on other sites

I only know it as the busiest airport in the country. I know nothing other than that. Besides the Braves and the Zoo, they also have the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and some other major sports teams (along with hosting a fair number of CFB games). Some decent restaurants and atmosphere too. It's actually rather hilly and wooded for a metro area...which makes for nice parks, walks, and drives. Fair numbers of lakes relatively close too if that's your thing. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Went to Chipotle today for the first time in a year...and I think for the first time ever by myself. There's one really near my work, but I never am very interested. Went to Panda Express initially, but the line was too long (was in a decent hurry), so I looked next door...but they didn't sell pizza by the slice...so Chipotle sort of became the best option. Had a steak burrito. Not too bad...smidge spicier than I remembered. They really are a bit too big though, and I'm not quite sure how to combat the problem of uneven distribution. The last third of my burrito was pretty much only rice. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,387 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 just ask for less rice. little trick i learned along the way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,757 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I still have yet to eat at a Chipotle, even though I have one 3 blocks from my house. I eat at Qdoba/Pancheros a few times a year though, which is basically identical in my head. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,757 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 So great. Well done, Hank. This is my busiest time of year, and man are we busy. It's been nuts around here since the Dean of Edu was fired. I think I've been at the office from 8-7 eight business days in a row. When do you guys go to work/get home? What are you commutes like? I have a 14 minute commute. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I work 8-4, with a 5 minute commute, except staying til 6 on Wednesdays, and 1 on Fridays. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’m in the office 9:30 to 4ish typically, sometimes staying later depending on how the day goes. 10-12 minute commute. I work from home a bunch, sometimes work weekends if I want to accomplish something that takes focus. I made enough of a stink about not having clarity on my career path that apparently deliberations are happening behind the scenes. I have no idea what that means. Day to day, it feels like there’s some small chance of something happening to cause me to snap-quit. I fantasize about it sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,757 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Thera/IE, those are awesome hours. I love that you get off at 1 on Fridays. That would be sweet. IE, I hope you get clarity soon. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 My commute is 25 minutes in the morning. 30-50 in the afternoon, depending on when I leave. Right now I get in around 6:30-7:00 and then leave 4:30-5. But work a half day from home on Fridays. Non-summer hours I leave around 3:30-4. These last few weeks I’ve been working a lot longer hours just because of workload. I live 15 miles from work. Link to post Share on other sites
