meco03211, in LPT: You can use Google Maps to measure your yard or any area

What kind of accuracy are we talking? Should be able to find a football field or something with a known size and compare. I’d do it but I’m on the toilet right now.

I used it just now to figure out how much dirt to order to cover my yard (re-seeding with grass) so that’s accurate enough for me I’m not doing rocket science here.

It’s not very accurate, but it is a good ballpark number.

TheMauveAvenger,

It actually is pretty accurate, within inches when measuring across relatively short distances. Try it yourself by measuring a known quantity like a baseball field or football field. Accuracy will obviously degrade over much longer distances, but it is more than sufficient to measure your yard.

Ballpark? Sure you can measure a ballpark! 😂

I didn’t know you could do this. Thank you!

KingStrafeIV, in LPT: When starting a remote or hybrid job, ensure your employment contract is specific about your WFH schedule so you can't be forced back into the office later

FYI for the majority of US based folks, this will not matter. Most US based folks are working “at will”, meaning the company can change the role requirements and fire you at any time.

Kit,

Valid, but also, if the terms of your employment change you are eligible for unemployment. Versus if your contract doesn't specifically list remote/hybrid work, you'll be forced to abide by it or quit.

Of course they can always claim a BS reason for your firing but this can open them up to lawsuits.

KingStrafeIV,

Fair clarification

My employer had me sign a telework agreement that specified where I would be working from home.

The fine print said that this agreement could be modified or cancelled at any time with no prior warning. Guess who was forced to get a new job after his manager gave him explicit permission to move across the country?

Yikes, but good on you for getting a new job elsewhere!

What do you do when you are sitting in the waiting room to see your doctor and they insist on playing commercial radio?

jol,

Send them a letter explaining that the radio is bad for people with mental disabilities.
