Pi Day. FML. A "minimum pieces of flair"-type speech was given to us and while we were told we can theoretically opt out the hell am I about to describe, we were also reminded of the "mandatory fun" goal that was forced into all our performance reviews this year.
1) pie baking contest ... Not a bad start.
2) random shitty videos involving the theme of pi. Quality is somewhere between public access TV and you and your college buddies drunk with a video camera. It really goes downhill from here.
3) 30 motherfucking minute presentation on mnemonic devices you can use to memorize pi to over 200 digits. Because I need that on a daily basis.
4) team pi recitation contest. It's the retard version of a spelling bee, except with the digits 0-9 arranged in random patterns then handed out in lots of 10. First team up went through 600 digits. Obviously someone's fucking team doesn't have enough work to do.
5) team math competition. No calculators or looking up of formula. Because everyone remembers how to calculate the surface area of a torus and enjoys doing long division by hand.

I have used the Pythagorean Theorem a few times in the last few years. Not bad for a non-engineer. Also calculated a slope. b.

I can't believe I remembered what a transcendental number was.

no wait slope is m. Where the line crosses y is b.

word.
I slept through high school algebra and geometry, and my grades reflected that, but I still remember that shit.

I imagined how one would calculate the surface area of a torus in my head... wonder if I'm right?
We had Pi day at work today too.
We ordered Pizza (pie) for everyone in the building, then had a Pi baking contest.

Well, then, since that was part of what I figured out, I'll just assume I got the rest right too.

Oh work.
So I work for a company that loves me. CEO knows me, VP loves me, etc, etc. But the company is kinda incompetent. Like we make really good products, then do something stupid in the mfg process that causes stuff to fail. 3 times now within the past 5 years.
So I get paid well, but I also am eligible for a 15% bonus. For the past 3 years the bonuses have been:
2 years ago: 0%
Last year: 60% (So, 9% of the 15%)
This year: 0% <-- I'm guessing, we find out next week for sure. We were having a record year until it turns out we fucked up yet another manufacturing process.
Grrr.
Money ain't everything... but damn.
Just wanted to vent.
The only nice thing about this company is they let me moonlight on the side, which is about 2x the $ that the bonus would be. A new client called me up and wanted me to visit them in Boston.
Guess who's getting on a plane?

I got zero raise last year because my manager decided to be an ass and blame me for her not understanding IT tech from the last quarter of a century.
