slackr status

Status really designed to be used with quick shell aliases for when you need to go do something. For example you could use the following when you are picking up your kids from school.

alias carpool='slackr status --emoji :school_satchel: --time 45m "Picking up the kids from school"'

A list of aliases for various activities are where Slackr truly shines.
