Are you saying those are fashionable? Damn. What did I do to deserve that?

Oh, well - I'll just wait until next week when the hipsters are wearing Lentil Framed Retro-Aviators or something...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Cards, please. Punched cards. Paper (and Mylar for important stuff) Tape was such an improvement when it came out. You no longer needed wheels to carry your apps about... Laugh | :laugh:

I've often wondered ... did you get on well with Babbage, or was he a bit of a diva to work with? Wink | ;)

Well...I tried to interest him in electricity, but he just fixated on gears. At least the hints I dropped to young Joe Jaquard had some effect.

Hi All,
Question for the hive mind...a meeting for the project I am involved with is on, I think. Walking across the car park I saw most of the people in it.
I haven't been able to find an email invite or Hipchat mention I have the felling that it might be above my pay grade. So I won't barge in late... thoughts please...

Yup, above my pay grade, I have been invited to the progress meeting next week. Smile | :)

If you weren't invited - don't go. If anyone asks you were you were, tell them that you weren't invited.

It could be an oversight - you haven't been added to all the relevant mailing lists; I wouldn't go paranoid quite yet...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you haven't had an invite and it's going on, you will only bring attention to yourself if you do enter late: either they will realize you should have been there from the start, or they'll be all "what is he doing here?"

It's early days with the company - I'd get on with what I was working on yesterday and if anyone comments, just tell the truth: you weren't told it was going on.

I wasn't complaining, I was just worried that I may get 'volunteered' to do something horrible like last time (I'm still battling with Ardriuno...) Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Last time it was 'Glenn, you know Adruino's dont you?', 'Ah well, yes', 'Oh good do a unit for us that will Ping the units Ethernet ports when the board comes in to verify the connections, now Tim...', no chance for me to say 'but that wont do what you think' or 'Ping does not verify all connections' and most of Ardruino is a type of microcontroller board not a magic wand to solve all your test issues...

We are still sending emails to people that left the company a couple of months ago, with the expected answer that "email address inactive".

Mailing lists are often bad managed and updated too late.

As others told... in this case honesty (you didn't know that you should have been in the meeting) is the best option. If someone still to be blamed, at least it won't be you Smile | :)

Any meeting you weren't invited to is time for you to get stuff done. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Arrange for a really, really big cake to be delivered. Hide inside it and pop out when it's wheeled into the meeting room. That's sure to make an impression.
