lol not as funny when you do the edit!!POSTED 11 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST
Hehe
Google/Internet search - I can't actually imagine doing complex IT stuff without it for finding reference info etc. I know people based in certain very secure sites where they have to go to the car park (where they have to leave their phones) to check stuff, screw that.
As others have said Google. I work in an IT role with a large crossover into a scientific field, I actually moved into the IT role from the scientific role because I know how to correctly phrase the IT questions in Google (I have never revealed this but one day I am sure to get found out).
A lack of self respect.
Handing in my notice, might just do that next week.
Nukeing the offices of the Scottish Qualifications Authority would make my work considerably more straightforward.

Water-cooled cold saw, now modified with precision calibrated end stop. So, so quick to cut things to length and leaves very little in the way of burrs behind.

A co-ordinated Cabinet and evidence-based policymaking. Oh...
"Ctrl - Z"
...don't actually do that much paper filing these daysA co-ordinated Cabinet
When my boss isn't trying to get involved
Getting at least 25% of the budget we ask for
Not spending a chunk of the limited budget we do get on random shit the boss wants us to get
Niche and expensive, but makes troubleshooting so much easier!

Business is booming at my Dracula doll production facility. I have employed an assistant, but I still have to make every second Count...
Switching subjects, from ICT to physics - no more endless weekends/'holidays' of marking coursework.
And Google Sheets.
Hot chicks in low cut blouses.
Audible... Especially during the winter months... Makes working outside in the wind and drizzle just about bareable as my mind can go elsewhere.

Working from home twice a week
The removal of six miles of roadworks with 40mph limits over Bodmin Moor.
And not having to drive anywhere further north than the south of Birmingham or into London.
Lie flat airline seats and a decent wine list.

I think you mean the dualling of the single carriageway section over Bodmin moor. At least the roadworks meant they were doing something.
100hp 4x4 tractor and loader- soooo many uses! Saves a lot of lifting 🙂

poah - Memberstudents that aren't morons
Hah, I'm fine with the morons, I could do with a few less clever ones
What [u]would[/u] make my job easier is a tape measure/ruler that logs measurements as you take them and gives them as a readout at the end of the day.
My work involves measuring field trials of plants and many of the measurements we take involve clipping on an expensive bit of kit, pressing a button and storing the result then moving on to next plant. A lot of measurements however are done with a ruler/tape which involves taking measurement then putting it down while you enter data manually into a hand-held computer or on a bit of paper, or having someone there to write it for you if you are up a ladder. I know there are laser tapes that will do this but they are no use for us as there are leaves in the way or we have to measure curves.
A leica disto will do that and bluetooths to your phone.
Not really a plant measuring device i grant you but its got lasers and stuff so its pretty scientific obvs.
And now i read the bottom of your post.
Just dictaphone it?
How the delete button on my keyboard interacts with email software.
Little things have helped: Instant messenger at work has hugely cut down on email traffic - and you can set it to "do not disturb".
Similarly, Outlook's meeting scheduler banishes the tedious back-and-forth discussions about peoples "availability".
Word macros.
A tedious multi- hour job interlinking documents and cross-references can now be done automatically.
I haven't told anyone this though 😉
Sublime Text 2 and knowing how to use RegEx.
Variety. And decent flip chart stands.

It’s easier to use your finger.

Means I'm far less likely to get fired for slapping one of our technicians about the head with a real wet fish.
Bose sound cancelling headphones make my housework much easier - I don't mind doing the vacuum cleaning as I can listen to a book. Better add in the mobile phone too as that's what streams the book. And Audible.

That’s very true, it’s just that having to share the works section with all the grockles and emmets during the holiday season was getting [i]very[/i] wearing.
So glad it’s all finished now.
