As the title says. Who is working on a Saturday, what are you doing, where are you working, why?

I'm in my dorm writing wordpress code and fixing js for Business Catalyst accounts for embarrassingly chump change. Sunday too. And half of Monday.

Maybe i'll get around to one of the dozen random personal projects I have stacked up. But probably not. Red Bulls don't buy themselves.

I'm participating in TechPeaks, worked on http://Feetlot.com today. Some other techpeakers decided to visit a 15th century castle in the Alps, but I wanted to implement some new features.

I woke up early. Do some code. Then breakfast with GF and went to the beach. 5pm came back and started to code again :)

In the office. Finishing stuff before a release. It's great!

At home. Just fixed some bugs for a clients release. About to start creating some workers piping words to different translation services. I just want to thank whoever made goslate.py.

Having calls with partners from home... only time we can really catch up because of distance / operations during the week.

I'm working. Email, design, and planning for upcoming sprint (software engineering). Why? Because I enjoy what I do an I have stuff to do. I work for Telenav in Culver City, we were ThinkNear until October. Nothing's really changed, just like a startup.

Waiting on a phone call from an executive to discuss some things. So technically, working at home. I'll code some later but that's just for myself. Because I need to work hard to keep up with my peers.

Working intermittently (10%) from home. Checking in on a production system that's going to get its first big whack of data load later today.

Working from home on a drip email campaign for http://rafflecreator.com.

monkeyspaw13 tahun yang lalu

I'm interested in seeing some drip campaign examples. Just signed up for an account on raffle creator. Will this trigger your drip campaign to me?

jwoodbridge13 tahun yang lalu

It wont, because I'm not finished yet :) But I'll get it sending to you when I do.

monkeyspaw13 tahun yang lalu

I would appreciate it. My email is in my profile (I also signed up using that address).

I'm working a little today, finishing some contract work.

I have a global team of remote people and we're all paid hourly. So, days of the week and times kind of lose meaning after a while. On the upside, I haven't set an alarm clock in a while.

Well, not strictly work but wrote on my thesis on the flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm. Was quite productive to my great surprise.

New knowledge is quite hard to generate in the enterprise system/ERP implementation space. So much have been written on it but it should work out.

Working at home, about to file about a month's worth of receipts into Quickbooks. I've been putting it off for weeks.

I'm working in the office. Developing a web app and need to build some things with D3. In the office I have dual 30 inch monitors so it's much easier to work on them than at home. There's an overtime budget for the contract I'm working on, so it's not totally a major bummer to be putting in extra hours.

Up in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, working on a side project and enjoying the weather :)

I'll be futzing with a side project today--doing some coding.

In a couple of weeks I'll be working Friday-Sunday for the site shutdown for IT.

For a short bit the people outside of IT wanted to schedule it for July 4th holiday to take advantage of the 4 day weekend. For previous shutdowns, major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving have also been suggested. It's never ended up happening, but it's really horrible when you can't make holiday plans for a couple of weeks while the timeline is still in flux, so if anyone here makes that decision for your team, remember your IT folks are people too. Even if you give alternate vacation days it's not really the same.

I'm at a DevOps conference, which technically counts as work.
