How to generate an actual RANDOM Number

[text] Oniketojen 851 points 11 hours ago Guy before me wrote a script to save a solid 45 minutes of time and my old boss hated it and refuses to let us use it.

Figure out how long it takes you to walk to the coffee machine and back and add that to the time randomly. Script will notify you when coffee is ready. This will hide your lack of involvement by keeping your consistently not doing things while not at your desk. While youre hooked into the coffee machine fetch the number of cups of coffee produced in the last 24 hours. Add that times 10 to 100 depending on employees that get coffee in milliseconds to each tasks time to submit permalink source embed save saveRES parent report give award replied hide child comments
