Yesbut the conversion consists of adding 12 to a number.

Arithmetic is obsolete. Computers exist.

When I was 20 I just decided that a 24-hour clock made more sense and I've been using one ever since.

EUROPEAN SPOTTED.

Careful. McDohl's from Texas. Calling him a European is like telling a Japanese guy "Go back to China!"

You might not guess Guatemalans use the 24 hour clock and European dating; until you've spent enough time reading time cards from them and start to do it yourself.

So totally acceptable?

I guess I should point out that the person here is A) a Linux engineer B) working in aviation C) with a Master's degree.

I did not think that expecting such a person to understand timestamps was too much, but when I brought it up with another engineer with a similar background he was similarly lost, so.

Huh. Also, IM.

One of my electrical engineering professors liked to give his students basic mechanical engineering quizes. They asked advanced problems such as "gear A turns clockwise, which direction does gear B turn?" Evidently the three passing grades in our class's first quiz was his record high.

It's a trick question, because (metal)gear A and gear B don't interact guys.

Related to the thread icon, I pressure washed and shoveled the rat feces out of a disused building. #howwasyourday

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

In my annual review I was told that I need to work on smiling more, that not everyone in the office thinks I'm as friendly as I should be

but our audit clients all consistently give me the highest markings for being pleasant to work with, so maybe my managers should step off my nuts

I've been having a passive-aggressive tiff with the guy in charge of one of the bigger job sites. He never gets me site reports on time and there are always stupid problems with it. I never directly tell him to stop being a fucking dick and do his job right, and he acts like I just told Jesus he might be taking himself a bit too seriously right after finishing dragging the cross every time I ask why it's late.

So yesterday I started a new system for tracking employee location. First thing when I come in today there's an email from him to basically everyone in an office position in the company asking me why three days had employees missing even though they were on his sheets.

This allowed me to reply all reminding him that his son wasn't included because even though the kid has worked with us for about a month he's yet to hand in a single time sheet of his own like is expected of everyone else, and the other employee wasn't on there because it wasn't a real employee. The employee that had been on his job site for a week whose name he didn't know was up there though. That guy had turned in time sheets.

I just spent eight fucking minutes trying to explain to somebody why a local printer made in the last 20 years doesn't have to be manually configured by individual USB port. Apparently, somebody in local It told him we couldn't install print drivers over the network because it'd apply only to intranet printers and not to his local machine, and convinced him he needed to manually configure the port.

Mongrel · « **Reply #2279 on:** August 17, 2012, 02:28:09 PM »
