Last time I had to debug this deeply into #m4 macros, my neighbour hung a #pentagram on the #cubicle wall between us.

I hate offices...

Seriously, unless one's having to deal with inbound physical deliveries and visitors/customers there's hardly any reason for an office.

  • Obviously there are many professions where this is expected and otherwise impractical, and I acknowledge not everyone has FTTB or FTTH and proper broadband and/or has to deal with noise, distractions, small children, ... that make #WorkFromHome impossible for them...

And OFC contractors who have to get someplace to setup stuff can't really do that remotely, and that's fine too.

Civil servants versus cosmic horrors in The Laundry RPG. Think Brazil meets Cthulhu, but with more paperwork and fewer ducts. Not quite as dystopian as our current government, mind you - at least these lot admit they're watching.

"The dark side of this is that not all organizations are intelligent and progressive. Lots are run by crass people who take the same kind of equipment and create hellholes. They make little bitty cubicles and stuff people in them. Bareen, rat-hole places."

@TheZeldaZone I really hate employers that demand justification for hating the #UnpaidLabour that is #commute and suffering in a noisy, #PostPrivacy #cubicle where people feel entitled to touch, talk to, and generally interrupt one's work in a disruptive manner. (As in every single of these interruptions coul've just been an eMail or ticket)…

Personally I come closer and closer to just shout at #recruiters and #HR folks:

No I don't want any *"Office Culture"* and *forced-on "socialization"* FFS! If you want a Linux sysadmin feel free to hire me but I'm neither a therapist nor social worker for my coworkers or bosses!! I do tech because people are exhausing and I don't do Tech Support anymore because it's frustrating to deal with *'Layer 8 - issues'*…

Same with masks... I'm currently rotating between 3 different replies to the stupid question 'Why are you masking? CoViD iS oVeR!':

  • "I've got neither the time nor crayons to explain this to you!" (I really need to buy that patch!)
  • "Just because we let flatearthers roam freely doesn't mean earth has become less of a rotational ellipsoid!"
  • "Keep telling that lie to yourself and you may actually believe it. Just because you don't see Long Covid / ME-CFS *survivors* instantly like people *crippled my anti-personnel landmines* nor corses and bodybags lined up at the curb doesn't bean people don't die..."

@ddr I mean, even before 'Rona it was evident that #WorkFromHome was perfectly feasible.

In the 24th session of our #TheEnemyWithin #WFRP4E campaign, two of our heroes are sleeping off a heavy night whilst their companions visit the trial of the Graf's champion and engage in some back-street fighting, all whilst trying to unravel a conspiracy against Middenheim:
