    All of this is a subset of the “a node within another node, which is a child node” discussions that happened upstairs when I was working in #PR. It turned out that they were building an HR module.

    “This is that ...”.

    A tip: no matter how pricey* the #hotel, bring your own soap and shampoo and TP.

    There’s something wonderful about using products that do not make your skin feel like you just poured a corrosive chemical over yourself ( or rubbed sensitive parts with sandpaper ), but the industry does not want to pay for such products.

    * I work for the US government. As a rule, government does not pay for the highest priced hotels. But when I was in #PR ( #Puerto_Rico, not to be confused with Google’s #Page_Rank algorithm ), the only hotels available were in the luxury tourist area. I found this to also be true there.

    I used to write a lot of one-off unofficial training docs for field employees. When I was in #PR, I discovered that one of the people there was collecting such information into a single, unified training guide and maintaining it. I contributed indirectly to the guide and have been utilizing and distributing it since then.

    Today, my first "patch" was accepted, a one-line addition.

    Hopefully, his guide completely displaces the use of my previous, now outdated and unmaintained, training docs throughout $EMPLOYER.

    Kenny called because he's trying to advise someone that is dealing with several equipment replacements for people working from home. I'm unable to improve the process the person is using.

    I mean, both Kenny and I suggested an improvement, but some manager would have to approve it and I don't see them doing that.

    In an earlier call, Kenny and I discussed the #COVID-19 vaccine rollout and some workplace changes that we hope remain after the pandemic is squashed.

    Kenny called twice, and B called once. B called because she's working with someone that I worked with in #PR and my name came up in conversation.

    S texted, but it was about weather in #SoCal versus the weather in the SE US.

    One other thing to point out ... when I was in #PR, it was apparent that they'd been in a recession for a long time, because everywhere around me were signs of buildings and infrastructure not having been maintained.

    The radio-telescope's maintenance should have come from the money sent by NSF to the organization operating the telescope on their behalf, but it could be possible that some of the funding was supposed to be raised locally.

    I finally looked up “Despacito”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk

    This must have been released after I left #PR. By the sound of it, I would have heard it.

    $EMPLOYER's internal training programs are pretty poor, so individual TechTeam members write training guides and distribute them to the people they've worked with (currently or in the past).

    I've written several such guides myself, but I stopped writing mine because someone in #PR writes a consolidated guide ... I've occasionally sent him some information to be used in the next update, but I don't write a full guide for any task anymore.

    I should dig up my old stuff and see which is still applicable, then send it to him.

    Funny conversation: one lady's family is from #PR, but she's learning Spanish here, so it's Mexican dominated. She calls her relatives and they don't understand her speech.

    It looks like #TropStorm #Marco has moved North and East relative to yesterday’s forecast, so the new projection has it striking Southeast #LA as a hurricane on Monday 2020-08-24. TS #Laura is over and to the West of #PR. The #NOAA / #NHC forecast shows it going right over Hispaniola and Cuba (with some impacts in the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. Current projection shows Laura striking Louisiana as a hurricane on Wednesday 2020-08-26, two days after Marco lands.

    They note in the discussion for both tropical cyclones that there is a lot of uncertainty in the forecasts, so big changes could occur between now and landfall.

    Looking at the #NOAA / #NHC site. #TropStorm #Marco forms, should pass over part of the #Yucatan, then head across the Gulf toward #TX or #LA. To the east of that, TropStorm #Laura is bigger, but sloppy. Expected to pass near or over #PR, Hispaniola ( #DR and #Haiti), #Cuba, #Caymans, #Bahamas, then enter the Gulf of Mexico before becoming a hurricane

    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    As always, these forecasts are based on mathematical models, and real-world situations almost always differ from models. If you're in the US Southeast or the Gulf Coast, you should take precautions as though one or both storms could change course and visit you.

    #TropStorm #Laura forms in the Atlantic ( formerly #TD13 and Invest 98L ). Expected to track North of #PR / #USVI / #BVI, go through the Bahamas and approach #FL as a hurricane.

    #TD14 (formerly Invest 97L) expected to become TropStorm #Marco today or tomorrow, track toward Yucatan, then into the Gulf of Mexico and toward #TX, #LA coasts.

    People refer to "Zeon" ... which I assume is a TV show. It always reminds me of PR:Zeo ( Power Rangers Zeo ).

    By the time #PR:Zeo aired, #sonTwo and my nephews had all abandoned #Power_Rangers, so I honestly do not think I ever saw an episode. I think PR:IS ( Power Rangers In Space ) was the last one I saw any episodes of.

    Toe report: the big toe and its neighbor are no longer sore. The small toe and its neighbor are still partially numb.

    After whacking my foot pretty hard in #PR, it took about a year for foot and toes to return to normal, so I just need to be more careful about where I step.

    #NOAA / #NHC https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    #TropStorm watch for Turks and Caicos islands and the Dominican Republic, heavy rainfall and tropical storm conditions nearing the leeward islands as #PTC9 approaches. Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine also brings tropical storm warnings to Puerto Rico ( #PR ) and the Virgin Islands ( #USVI and #BVI ), Guadeloupe, Martinque, St Martin, Saba, St Eustatius, St Maartin. Some areas of #DR under tropical storm warning.

    Caribbean interests should pay attention to their local weather agency’s warnings. Expected to be a tropical storm by tomorrow morning. At this time, not expected to become a #hurricane.

    Bumped one of my feet against something recently (same foot that I whacked pretty hard against a piece of sidewalk when I was working in Puerto Rico). Two toes and the ball of my foot are sore, three toes are partially numb. (It was worse in #PR, because it hurt more and my foot was swollen for a long while after.)

    Having lived through this already, I know the routine. The pain goes away. The numbness lingers for a while. At least there's no swelling this time.

    Also not as bad as being in #PR. Heat and humidity.
