Funny you mention this. I was thinkg the same thing for myself here at work.
I still haven't heard an elephant fart of a thank you anywhere, from anyone.

Thank you? You're not doing the work as a favor out of the goodness of your heart. You're doing the work because you're getting a paycheck.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Absolutely true. However, a little bit of appropriate praise once in a while can go a long way toward keeping employees happy. It isn't the number one reason employees leave, but it is the number eight[^]. Its a soft skills managementy thing.

I'm sure they did, and it appears that it would be beneficial to give some to Congress, as well.

We all know that Australia's problem's are created outside of our border's. If it ain't the Yanks or the Poms it's gotta be those bloody Kiwis.

At least they left us ample OneDrive space to back our files up. Oh, wait a minute...

foolish people.
windows machines are for windows, maybe a few other optional ms products, but nothing else!
remove your files now! documents, photos, movies for sure all must go.
Note: you may use onedrive to store some files, but be warned, the terms state: at our sole discretion we may start charging for continued access.

Crash my PC? Oh I'm used to that. It happens all the time since I went to Windows 10.

I made several thousand code changes over a couple of hundred files and I wholeheartedly believed all my unit tests would just work.
I hate it when my serene view of reality doesn't align with what the rest of the world considers reasonable.

That's probably a better state than being optimistically delusional.
