    Yeah if it's like my work and has a bunch of out of shape 50+ year olds playing volleyball in the sand then decent chance of some pretty sever injuries.

    I got sent the absolutely worst redlined legal agreement I’ve ever seen in my entire career. Was literally one step above someone printing it out, manually writing in it, scanning it back in and sending it to me.

    I'm in a different field but we have old guys who print, redline, have someone else scan (they don't know how) and email.

    It's beyond infuriating.

    2 of my co-workers, both of whom have been divorced at least once, are bitching about their current wives over the stupidest shit. Oh the horror, she likes to have multiple pillows on the bed. How dare she want to go to breakfast with you in the morning. What a bunch of miserable fucks.

    I legitimately thought multiple pillows was just an automatic thing - especially if you're living with a female or just anyone that cares about how the bedrooms look.

    I can't imagine trying to tell a colleague or friend about how stressful the process of moving a pillow is. :roll:

    Those temporary bathrooms are single unit things. Most public bathrooms are big multi unit things. The privacy of a single unit portapotty type unit makes it more likely one is to shoot up or whatnot.

    Our "carefully place" pillows are currently resting on the floor so there was a reasonable amount of space to sleep.

    Cringeworthy things you do: I casually asked two coworkers (both basic white girls) wtf Vanderpump rules was...


    Me to Girl 1 in break room discussing tv: What is vanderpump rules anyway?


    Girl 1: [​IMG]


    Girl 1 slacks 2 to come to the kitchen. Then asks me to repeat the question
    Girl 1: He said "who is vanderpump and who do they rule":pffft::pffft:

    Girl 2::ded:


    me: :killmepete:

    They basically had a meltdown and have been clowning me since

    Oddly enough a huge component of my married midwest/southeast friends are Vanderpump die-hards and of course we see the staff on a borderline daily basis so have never really thought anything of it.

    I'll have friends come in town that I've developed full restaurant itineraries for that just have to go to Sur.

    Vanderpump owned restaurant that was the initial catalyst of the "Vanderpump Rules" franchise as an offshoot from her already being on Real Housewives.

    Forgot to share we had another “reply all” fiasco on Friday. All the usual “I don’t think applies to me”, “I think this was sent to me in error”, “please delete me from this” etc. Someone finally came in with the “stop it the whole company can see what you’re replying to” and put an end to it.

    I feel kinda bad because it’s hilarious but it’s always the same usual people. Not like the same exact people, but usually people who work in one of our plants. So like the floor supervisors, warehouse managers, shipping/receiving people all have work computers but when they get an email sent to them it’s usually pretty important. So when they get something that’s not for them they take it seriously because usually if they’re getting emailed something it’s for something high priority for them to do.

    My sister was telling me that someone at her company meant to send a Happy Birthday email to her department. Instead, they sent it to the entire company. People thought it would be funny to reply all and also wish the lady happy birthday. By noon, the email server had crashed and remained down for 2 days.

    I had to listen to my coworker rant that forest wildfires are a liberal conspiracy theory to push their "global warming bullshit" on everyone. His evidence is that the wildfires burn "that liberal hellhole" California and now Canada.

    Us libs can't get anything past that guy.

    We had this when Oregon had the crazy wildfires. Allegedly antifa planted firebombs in the woods. Presumably it was antifa because people heard them yell "death to fascism" before they torched a million acres

    Still yet to be confirmed

    Welp, today’s the day. A “cold” front moved in so we’re looking at a high of only 85 degrees. Starting things off with a 2 hour discussion on the results from our personality test (or whatever it’s called).

    Dealing with some sciatica pain after sitting in a car for 5 hours yesterday. Might have to add myself to the 15-Day DL.
