The first meal of your day consists of nearly 100g of carbs.
First meal of the day is a skinny vanilla latte (18g carbs). I eat something every two hours during the day and I fast 12 hours overnight. I've been eating like that for over five years now.
Creimer is in a high-risk group for diabetes. He shouldn't be eating any sugar at all, and if he does need something sweet then artificial sweeteners are definitely the way to go.
When my father got out of the hospital over five years ago, he stayed with me for two months to make sure he went to all his doctor appointments. One of those appointments was a diabetic nutritional course. Since my father had to go on a low carb diet, I had to go on to a low carb diet. He was seriously pissed off that I had no problem adjusting to a low carb diet while he bitched and moan about eating so little. However, I used to do weight training. Changing my diet up to gain weight or down to lose weight was old hat.
If facilities doesn't do anything, why do you care?
Because I needed space for the next shipment of Dell PCs from China.
Pile the empty boxes in a hallway and tell your boss, "I can't do anything about it until you get a me a dumpster."
You don't put packing material out into the hallway of a hospital. The IT manager's response: "Go talk to facilities."
Plus, you never have to do anything useful - you can just clean closets and take boxes out to the dumpster.
Don't forget the 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors for deployment, the 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors for disposal, and a ton of old PC hardware pulled from the floors that looked like they were being used but no one was using them.
And when the fire marshal shows up, then management will prioritize it, and suddenly when faced with a $10,000 fine for fire code infringements, or a $5,000 charge for e-waste disposal, the facilities department will suddenly find that it's part of their charter to clean up the closet.
Not at the companies I've worked at. Facilities doesn't do squat. If the IT department gets cited by the fire marshal, it comes out of the IT budget.
It's fucking stupid.
That's why contractors are hired to do all the "fucking stupid" jobs that full-time people don't want to touch. This is why I enjoy working as a contractor. Every job is completely different.
So - "it doesn't happen to me, therefore it doesn't happen?"
Not quite. Some other white male would do something stupid to get the rest of us sent to sensitivity training so HR can avoid singling out the individual white male who thinks he's special snowflake. That was just the 1990's.
That could explain why I'm the only white male in the department.
The trolls on Slashdot assumes you're mentally disabled.
FTFY
They won't admit it to your face, but behind your back they check the box that says they hired you for your disability.
The only accommodation that I ever requested under the American Disability Act was a phone headset since I have hearing loss in one ear. Fortunately, phone headsets are so cheap that everyone gets one.
[...] you wasted money, time, and skills better spent on other tasks to clean something that literally nobody in the organization felt was a priority to fund or budget.
Until the fire marshal shows up. Then it becomes a priority. Having boxes stacked to the ceiling and blocking sprinklers is a no-no.
That management doesn't get their shit together on budgetary issues isn't really the problem of a low level ticket dispatcher
You must not work in a large corporation then. These bureaucratic battles are quite common. Also, I was the technician responsible for unboxing, imagining and deploying 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors. I wasn't dispatching tickets.
I'm afraid not. I've seen this quite frequently with other people. Whenever someone tries to better themselves or promote their personal brand, critics (trolls) are always ready to tear them down.
Mostly you get shit about it, because you cite it as evidence of your "miracle worker" status - as if getting paid an IT salary for doing low value work that is best accomplished by facilities and maintenance staff is somehow an accomplishment worthy of note.
These are IT closets that facilities refuses to clean up. Mostly because they don't want the electronic waste disposal fees charged to their budget. When I worked at a local hospital, it took three weeks for management to figure who was going to pay for three 40-yard dumpsters to throw out the packing materials (foam and cardboard) for 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors.
If you don't think it's important or relevant, why do YOU bring it up?
From what I read in "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, Facebook takes its own data and combines it with third-party data to create profiles on every user, whether logged in or anonymous. A researcher could get their own source of data and then cross-reference it with third-party data to figure out something similar.
I heard those complaints when I went I got my certifications and went back to school. Seems like anyone who tries to better himself is "full of himself" and not "a team player". No wonder this country is screwed up.
No, video game testing was a dead end job. I got my certifications (A+/Network+/Windows) and learned computer programming to get out of the video game industry.
Not a team player for working hard to better your career?
The ugly fact about being a video game tester is that any other job pays better. Whenever someone complained about Sony paying $20/hr when we got $16/hr, management told us to get a job at the Taco Bell down the street. That is until a tester got a job at Taco Bell with better pay and benefits.
Slashdot Mirror
You are not in any way eating a "low carb diet".
Low carb diets are 150 grams or less per day.
No you didn't. Sitting cable pulls are in no way, in any galaxy, universe, or dimension, considered "weight training".
I wasn't doing sitting cable pulls when I did weight training over ten years ago.
You self-aggrandizing grand-standing loser.
I'm more than happy to keep pissing on your narrative.
Oh, and you provided a site, not a label. Is there a label on each cup?
Nope. If you want the nutritional information for a particular drank, you need to go to the website.
In five years, you liar.
The last 13 weeks. Yeah, I know. It ruins your narrative.

Tell us again about your awesome low-carb diet, creimer.
13 pounds in 13 weeks
Which was a quarter century ago.
That would explain my white beard then.

How did you celebrate the anniversary of the day your mother shat you out of her distended sphincter?
Watching Smokey and the Bandit (40th Anniversary Edition) on TV. My favorite movie with Sally "Gidget" Fields. ;)

You said you work with old white beards and you're the youngest.
Everyone has white beards.
Were you lying then or are you lying now liar?
Why would I lie about people having white beards? Even at 48, I have a white beard.
All while losing 13 pounds in 3 months.
Nothing worse than a fat guy consistently losing weight.
So - "it doesn't happen to me, therefore it doesn't happen?"
Not quite. Some other white male would do something stupid to get the rest of us sent to sensitivity training so HR can avoid singling out the individual white male who thinks he's special snowflake. That was just the 1990's.
You're a diversity hire.
That could explain why I'm the only white male in the department.

I've worked for 20+ years in tech and never had that problem as a white male.

Not like cleaning closets. That's a job with limitless career growth.
I seriously don't understand your obsession about IT closets. I cleaned up a few in my 20+ year tech career and that's all you harped about.
Clicking the Amazon Associates stripe to get an affiliate link to spam on Slashdot doesn't count as "computer programming".
Thank God that I'm not a professional programmer by trade then.
What labels does Starbucks provide with your latte?

And how does that change anything?
You can't figure out your diet if you don't know what you're eating in terms of carbs and calories.
Creimer's full of shit.
