My objective is to waste as much time and phoney fiat currency (formerly known as money) as possible. Trying to be efficient is a good way to get fired. Just look at healthcare.gov, nobody who played along is getting fired, despite it being a half a billion dollar failure (in the middle of a recession). Only people who rock the racket's boat get canned. That's the way the corporate cookie crumbles. So just have another bagel and socialize in mindless meetings all day.

There is some irony here. Wikipedia reports that ASCII was first published 50 years ago.

Of course ASCII was kind of absorbed into Unicode, which grows toward replacing plain ASCII daily. Though I guess we're referring to plain text as opposed to word processing documents. (Though when you say "text" or even "plain text", some people think you're talking about Microsoft Word documents. Frustrating.) I join your sentiment as I use Emacs a lot and pretty office document tools rarely too.


This is the wrong thread to vent about that. Otherwise I'd commiserate with you on this very sad chapter.

Emacs is a nice software.

Let's take an example Office documents such as *.doc or *.docx. I wonder if it makes any senses to keep using those formats, since it may change again and again...

Can't vote. I arrive at 7pm...and do the amount of work they pay me for!

Either I dont understand you or its the other way around. The guys who work in night shifts are in office by 10pm and work till 7am. So how are those inefficient?
And why is giving flexi timings lack of efficiency or lack of priority? I see it as a very good offering from employer. Also, meetings are usually arranged with clients during their work timings. And we adjust to those accordingly. I dont see lack of efficiency or prioritization in any which way.

Clarification is needed.
DON'T show up at 8:01 AM and clock out a 4:59 PM.

I changed to ODS years ago partly for that reason.

For this reason, I use only cliword, clisheet, ... on the ncurses layer "nframe-os":

It is a fantastic move, which remains compatible with Windows and Mac.

* TIP(1) on Time Management *

Another trick to save time...

Besides you think, but you probably spend too much time in front of your pc doing surfing, and checking your posts, right?

PIM tools allow in a nice manner keep you well informed by Email.

you may save a lot of time by a quick manner just as example:

you direct to your chromium path into ~/.config
and then:
There is no formatting at all but still you can use it in plain text.

You add it to your user cron by You may save at least already 30min each day.

Furthermore, there are many benefits in getting up very early.

I'm where I need to be when I need to be there and stay until I'm not needed. Some days thats 4 AM and some it's midnight but I will always be where I am supposed to be.

I don't get there until 2 pm.

But you probably work very late?`
