[13:07] <rick_h> woo! here comes the snow
[13:12] <cmaloney> Heh
[13:12] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:21] <mrgoodcat> morning
[13:22] <mrgoodcat> signed an offer letter last night
[13:22] <mrgoodcat> :)
[13:22] <jrwren> congrats!
[13:22] <jrwren> with whom? what is the role? when do you start? is the commute long?
[13:24] <mrgoodcat> with dynatrace starting on the 16th
[13:25] <mrgoodcat> the commute isn't terrible. its the same commute i've been making for teh last year so at least not worse
[13:25] <mrgoodcat> its really just making official what we already knew. i've been working here since last september as an intern so this was a pretty natural step
[13:30] <cmaloney> That's awesome! Congratulations!
[13:31] <cmaloney> And awesome that it's already somewhere that you have some background
[13:31] <rick_h> mrgoodcat: congrats, love that intern->fulltime move
[13:32] <rick_h> suddenly, you're worth more $$ than a week ago!
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> yea srs
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> thanks
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> and with a pretty aggressive pay schedule for the next 12 months
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> so even more in a year
[13:35] <mrgoodcat> i guess they couldn't get the number they actually wanted as a new hire of a recent college grad? so this is the workaround
[13:35] <mrgoodcat> just my guess. this might be SOP
[13:44] <cmaloney> That's cool
[19:34] <cmaloney> Macomb CC just canceled classes, as did Schoolcraft
[19:34] <cmaloney> I think I'm going to do virtual CHC tonight. ;)
[19:35] <widox> and you're the closest! :p
[19:35] <cmaloney> Yeah, no kidding
[19:35] <cmaloney> Thinking of doing a virtual CHC tonight. :)
[19:35] <cmaloney> eg: starting up a Jitsi meeting or something like that.
[19:36] <Zimdale> A virtual meetup sounds more doable!
[19:36] <cmaloney> Also means I can drink Kahlua instead of just coffee. :)
[19:37] <jrwren> AAPS did a while aog
[19:39] <rick_h> wheee https://photos.app.goo.gl/e6rCfuNZIDPzpEn13
[19:40] <jrwren> so glad I don't drive :)
[19:41] <rick_h> 4x4 mode engage!
[19:41]  * rick_h needs to find something to go drive around in a few more hours when it gets deeper
[19:41] <jrwren> Monday I tried to take the bus instead of driving... i waited 15min for the bus. it never came, so I walked home, got in the car and went to my meeting and still got there on time.
[19:41] <rick_h> they let school out an hour early and got to get the kids
[19:41] <jrwren> yeah, we walk to school. :)
[19:42] <cmaloney> rick_h: Glad you got home safely
[19:42] <rick_h> meh, it's not that bad. didn't slide around once :(
[19:42] <rick_h> jrwren: yea, I like to walk but I have a hard limit when it's down in the teens.
[19:42] <rick_h> forget it, I'll drive then
[19:43] <cmaloney> heh
[19:43] <jrwren> rick_h: same here... unless there is many inches of fresh snow, then I don't want to drive either, so I'll walk :)
[20:34] <waldo323> I slid a little yesterday though wasn't going very fast
[20:35] <waldo323> spent most of my day in the car today i think - we had a holiday lunch event +plus the longer than I had a few months ago commute
[23:14] <cmaloney> Whee
[23:14] <cmaloney> Off to try to plow
[23:36] <waldo323> off to brave the roads
[23:36] <waldo323> hope the plowing goes well
