    Clearly you need to adopt an agile methodology. Get Kevin and another intern in this sprint, do A/B testing to see what the customer response is...

    UI/UX is yelling about rope color being slightly off and not perfectly coiled

    At the last minute PM demanded we find a unicorn horn and shove it up Kevin's ass because "cUsToMeR eXpErIeNcE"

    And management is constantly asking about time estimates.

    By the time it's all done we will probably end up just sending him on a punitive coffee run and call it good.

    But the though still counts right?

    If you only have to be at the offices a coupon of times a week find a place an hour out past the edge of town and suck up the commute.

    It’s what I did.

    Now I went in every day by personal choice and even if I am not hitting the office I am constantly at client sites so I just deal.

    my closest neighbor is on his own 1.5 acres about 60 yards away. Big open space park behind me and other neighbor to the north is maybe 70-75 yards.

    5 miles outside a town of 4000 and another town of 5500 is 7-8 miles farther out and edge of civilization is a minimum of 20 miles away.
    I carry two kinds of trauma kits. One for fixing it and one for causing it.

    I laughed way too hard at this. The joys of software application development.

    I will remember that if the monsterous creature is within clubbing range, it is a tight situation, and start clubbing. This is true even if my firearm still works. No reason not to club and shoot at the same time.

    My wife used to work for Speedcast when they were still called Caprock. I used to work for ITC global which has a lot of ex Caprock/Speedcast people there. We still know a few people at Speedcast.
