WindowManager

Window Manager is Japanese expression (madoguchi) for a manager with limited operational responsibilities and engagement. The term suggests a manager whose primary “duty” consists of gazing out of the office window, symbolizing a position that has become largely ceremonial, redundant, or sidelined.

@Rainmaker1973 Back in the 90s I seriously considered taking up smoking for office networking as several senior managers and VPs went outside to the smoking area and chatted with the other smokers hanging out there.

When you have a bad day at work but you don't smoke.

@KurtSupeCPA I’m recently retired and wrote a blog post about needing to become a financial expert to manage retirement, with the main takeaway ‘Look into this stuff now, not the year you retire’. windowmanager.blogspot.com/2025/12/rememb…

@DieinPlace I put this on as background one day while working but had had to turn it off due to Willie’s constant screaming. However I would note that the opening musical number is great, and Willie looks fetching dressed up for the Raj dinner.

@TheCinesthetic Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates

What actor will you always associate with *that one role* no matter how many others they do?

The other way to think about it is the English system is to human scale: an inch is about the size from your finger tip to first knuckle, a foot about the length of a human foot, a yard the length from your nose to your fully outstretched arm, and about one pace. In English liquid measure, the units can be halved and halved again, useful for cooking. Metric being decimal cannot do this, and where in your bird is a centimeter? The other helpful accident is when driving on a highway in a car, you are going about a mile a minute, so a glance at a road sign that a city is 60 miles away is just about an hour away.

アメリカ人達から真面目な答えもアメリカンジョークも来て面白い ・40年前にメートル法を導入しようとしたけど広まらなかった ・日常が全てヤードポンド法だから特に困らない ・ヨーロッパの言うことに従うのは癪だから導入しない ・ヤードポンド法がアメリカ人としての意地と誇りになっている ・アメリカ独立時にフランス王室からメートル原器が寄贈されたけど、積んだ船がイギリスの海賊船に沈められた ・メートル法はゲイ

@skweeds @TheCinesthetic The Usual Suspects is my favorite movie, and I’m not personally insulted when people say they don’t like it.

@TheCinesthetic Didn’t realize this would be polarizing. Looks like you either really like it, or you don’t, right down the middle.
