This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yep.
100% remote here -- staff not permitted in the office (5 'hotel' spots and a walk-in desk behind a buzz-door staffed by a rotating helldesk rep to receive deliveries and give/get laptops for repair/re-image/replacement. This from like 400 onsite) unless there's a good reason.
We have a few meetings, but they typically go 15 min or so; CAB meetings, strategy, an hour's status-and-plans that goes long at 30 min, a 'watercooler' meeting for breakfast and random chat, to build the team and get the nerd zoomies out. No one wants to prolong a meeting, and that's awesome. It's an interruption, but they block together what they can so it gets it out of the way, and Monday and Friday are kind-of a bust because it's common for 9x9 'compressed' time workers to take those days off. So Monday and Friday are quiet work-times.
Everything else is handled by a slack-like chat setup, but we light a call if someone needs to show a screen or we need fast chat between many people -- crises and the like.
You should come work here. We have a few spots open but they go fast; and people only leave on retirement (thus the opening today).
