Sometimes just explaining the issue to a co-worker to get their help will make the solution apparent even before they've had the chance to respond. I suspect that works because the act of organizing the problem in your head to make it clear to the listener also makes the issue clear.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Couldn't you email the HR person and ask?

Mandatory: Send an email. Doesn't matter to whom - HR, office manager, your manager etc. Optional: Give your manager a call and ask him for advice.

Sick of the new job already are you?
Call your boss and ask!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

In my opion, you should've visited with HR when the sickness first began.
That way they'd have proof that you are indeed sick.

We still have phones, Glenn. Why not just call ER and ask? It sounds like a common flu to me, but I ain't no doctor.

Pete, you solved the puzzle.

Yes, real money = Letter pool

describes an act of charity = Definition

I've owned two decent watches both of them Michel Herbelin , the last one lasted ~ 30 years and the current one will almost definitely outlive me.

Is the watch made by the same company as your car?
|
|

Nope, the watch is Seiko (Japanese), the cars are Mercedes (German)
Gawd that sounds pretentious - I have two Mercedes because I'm selling one of them, when the weather gets to the point that it's worth valeting it for photos ...

To own one Mercedes is unfortunate; to own two is...

I've got everything but the mobo (arrives monday) and system drive (arrives the following wednesday)
Then I will do a dry run - placing the cooler on the cpu without paste, just to see if everything fits in the chassis. Gosh I hope it does.
The CPU cooler is huge. The little chip is so small in comparison.
I also think it's funny that both my system drive and my mobo were each more expensive than my CPU. Times have changed. The CPU isn't a slouch - it's an i5 but it ranks 6th at userbenchmark.com, and is routinely classed in with intel i9s in terms of speed rankings.

Well, the CPU is most likely homemade, but the MB is imported. This definitely adds to the price difference. Also, modern MB do some cool stuff - NVMe interface for example.

Yeah and this motherboard is a demon. It's got 3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots, supports RAID onboard, automatic overclocking, DDR5-6000, and PCIe 5.0. It's only real downside at this point is lack of USB 4.0, all in mATX form factor. It's the only mATX board I could find that was DDR5 and performance oriented from a vendor I'd buy from.
