That's not a marsupial! If it was the ball type, it might be assumed to have a "pocket" for its young. But ...

What made me snigger was watching the BBC News Channel was the 'Space Scientist' who they were interviewing standing outside the door at JPL was told by the interviewer that it had successfully touched down as the live video feed had everyone cheering & hugging, while those outside did not know!

I missed the news. How did the little Klingons (CubeSats) following it do? Were they able to relay the status of the lander as hoped?

I'm an 'Murican on the East coast. Headquarters is on the West coast but we have teams in Europe.
I have an error in a stored procedure that is owned by another team. I've been told to ask the on call person for that team since they are located in the UK but probably won't get an answer until tomorrow.
All I wanted was to know the name of the repository so I could look at the source code. What really irks me is the person who told me that probably knows the name of the repository.
UGH!

The text of your URL and the URL itself differ. Was that intentional?

No, that's strange my URL is exactly the same (using Chrome) after clicking it 
Oh, now I see what you mean, I tried to clean it up but that did not work out ...

Look at the URL under the caret ^ symbol, the one that opens in another window.

Oh, well then come over here... We now have "enterprise" TFS -- one TFS to rule them all. Everyone's code is in one repository.
Oh, wait. It's down today.
Ah, so then what do we do? Oh, well open a ticket in Jira...
Oh, that's right, we have "enterprise" Jira as well -- one Jira to rule them all.
Hmm... no... at least I can still log the issue in our team's SharePoint site.
It's "enterprise" SharePoint you say and it's having issues as well?
I am so out of here when I can, but first I have to check in my changes...

We have all those systems too. Well, enterprise github instead of TFS. Our Sharepoint pain is people post things to places we haven't been given access.
It's the developers in the other cities that are the problem, VERY protective of "their" information and very reluctant to respond.

And at sometimes it is really convenient, you can work on a problem in different time zones, so that you have 24h coverage.
We (east-coast) have teams in Europe and many times I have asked questions during the day and I know that when I will come back in the morning, those questions will be answered (and vice-versa).
I'd rather be phishing!

(Intended as a satirical view of managers who just don't get it.)
Manager: I need you to train this dog.
Developer: Sure, we train dogs all the time. It'll take a month.
Manager: I need this dog trained by the end of the week.
Developer: We can't have that dog trained by the end of the week; it takes a month to train a dog.
Manager: OK, then have this wolf trained by the end of the week for the interim, and train the dog next month.

And while you're at it, make sure you train the wolf to meow like a cat.

Now if only he had asked for you to put a diaper on the dog until it was trained. That would be more reasonable.

No no no, no time to train me to do that. Not even with a "Dummies' Guide to Diapering Dogs" and a long weekend.
