| replaceafill | hey th1a | 18:33 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | sorry i'm late | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | forgot to open IRC :S | 18:34 |
| th1a | hi replaceafill. I wasn't even here anyhow. | 19:05 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 19:05 |
| replaceafill | i remembered you told me about Thursdays | 19:05 |
| th1a | Well, this Thursday. | 19:05 |
| replaceafill | ah | 19:05 |
| replaceafill | ok | 19:05 |
| th1a | This week is comprehensively messed up for me. | 19:05 |
| th1a | Basically everone related to labor decided to stuff their events for the month into the last three days. | 19:06 |
| th1a | So I'm scrambling around to cover all this stuff and jam it in. | 19:06 |
| replaceafill | ah | 19:07 |
| th1a | Also, Monday is Labor Day here (because May 1 is too socialist). | 19:07 |
| replaceafill | :D | 19:07 |
| replaceafill | big day for your paper i pressume | 19:07 |
| replaceafill | i mean, important | 19:07 |
| th1a | Eh, well, it is kind of a mess. | 19:08 |
| th1a | Actually, there aren't a lot of events on Labor Day. | 19:09 |
| replaceafill | ah | 19:09 |
| th1a | Functionally it is a generic "bank holiday" which is called Labor Day. | 19:09 |
| th1a | The end of summer holiday. | 19:09 |
| th1a | Which was the point of not having it on May Day. | 19:09 |
| replaceafill | ah | 19:10 |
| th1a | Since it is always right at the beginning of the month, it is not convenient for a monthly paper! | 19:10 |
| th1a | But also, there is an important union election happening today that is the cover story -- that's why I decided yesterday to push things back. | 19:11 |
| th1a | Need to know who wins that. | 19:11 |
| th1a | To have union representation here there is an election process, which is unique in the world I think, and really pretty bizarre. | 19:11 |
| replaceafill | stop the presses! | 19:11 |
| th1a | I got to observe the last meeting of the organizing committee on Tuesday evening, which was pretty intense. | 19:12 |
| th1a | It is another group of all Hispanic workers. | 19:12 |
| th1a | But the internal dynamics of this kind of election is intense. There are 45 workers and they think they have 27 solid for the union. | 19:13 |
| th1a | But that's a close shave! | 19:13 |
| replaceafill | you need to work your spanish th1a :) | 19:14 |
| th1a | Anyhow... | 19:14 |
| th1a | They had live translation at the meeting, since the union guys don't have great Spanish either. | 19:14 |
| replaceafill | :O | 19:14 |
| th1a | That added a whole other crazy element. | 19:15 |
| th1a | OK, so... I hope I am not demotivating you too much to finish this documentation. | 19:18 |
| replaceafill | well, i've been wandering around | 19:18 |
| replaceafill | have to admit it | 19:18 |
| th1a | I have no meetings or other specific obligations at all to cover tomorrow, at least. | 19:19 |
| replaceafill | but i'm back in the horse now | 19:19 |
| replaceafill | ok | 19:19 |
| th1a | Yeah, task switching sucks. | 19:19 |
| th1a | It is killing me this week with all three jobs plus houseguests... | 19:19 |
| replaceafill | :) | 19:19 |
| th1a | We should try to sprint to the finish by the end of the day tomorrow. | 19:20 |
| replaceafill | i can only sprint until the end of the morning tomorrow | 19:21 |
| replaceafill | i need to take the afternoon off | 19:21 |
| replaceafill | i can start earlier | 19:21 |
| replaceafill | 10 am | 19:22 |
| th1a | OK. | 19:23 |
| th1a | Let's plan on that. | 19:23 |
| replaceafill | cool | 19:23 |
| th1a | Do you feel like you know how the remaining Ark specific docs need to go? | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | i'm just following my initial outline | 19:24 |
| th1a | OK. Great. | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | and taking some of the "top level container" approach | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | "you can get this object like this"... | 19:24 |
| th1a | Yes, I think that can be easier. | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | there's some yellow for you to fill in | 19:24 |
| replaceafill | history | 19:25 |
| th1a | OK. | 19:25 |
| th1a | I'll take a look tonight. | 19:25 |
| replaceafill | cool | 19:25 |
| th1a | OK, I have to feed the children. | 19:26 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 19:26 |
| replaceafill | ok, thanks th1a | 19:26 |
