Aw, c'mon, Mongrel, you're not THAT old.

Well, I may not be two days from retirement, but I was five minutes from break time.

(Alternately, you could argue I'll ALWAYS be two days from retirement).

I have never been so literally told "whenever I tell you to do something, check with me to make sure that's what I want you to do".

It occurred to me today that, of the three people in my team, the guy pursuing a degree in Software Engineering is the one creating low-level frameworks and experimental tools like remote hardware manipulation and embedded languages for automation, and the two guys who have an M.S. in Computer Science are the ones applying them to specific applications.

God damn it, it's halfway through April and the environment in this building is still actively making people sick. I feel like calling somebody about it but it seems like a bad idea on a number of levels.

Um. Its his job. He is at best middle management. He needs the money. People there like him. He presumably respects his immediate supervisor. I could go on but that's just the first few reasons I could come up with off the top of my head.

Clarification: why does it seem like a bad idea?

Ocksi · « **Reply #2088 on:** April 16, 2012, 11:01:40 AM »

Because if the reason people are getting sick is outside of management's direct control, the people you would call to deal with the problem would cost the company a significant amount? Because if it is within management's control, the people he would call would be THEIR superiors and there is no way to look good while going over your boss' head to question his actions?

This seems to be an industry thing and no employer really seems to think that the reliability of personnel is ever worth the cost of air filters and mold cleanup.

We changed proxy servers and now Internet Explorer is the only usable browser. I think my IT department accidentally woke up IN THE YEAR 2000.

Apparently this test rack was already running an automated sleeper script that was set to run the Yogi Bear movie on every screen after about 30 minutes.

So now I'm sitting here after hours, surrounded on all sides by the Yogi Bear movie.

Dear fraudsters,

If you're going to try and steal [some dude]'s ID to try and sign up for fake accounts, you probably shouldn't add 'fuck.[somedude]@hotmail.com' as an email address.

"customer disputing LD [long-distance] calls to labia"

I know the feeling, I spent most of my teenage years making long-distance calls to labia. ( ._.)

Sadly, I missed this by a few minutes, but this morning the receptionist accidentally set off the security alarm, and while she was calling the company to get it shut off a giant male turkey, angered by the beeping, started persistently pecking at the door.

Just worked an all night post prom... went well until close when 2 girls got FORGOTTEN BY THEIR PARENTS and the teachers and us waited around so long the teachers just pooled their money and bought them a cab home, with the permission from the one's mom who was the only parent they could get a hold of, but this was because she was AT WORK and by virtue of being at work, could not come to pick them up.
