My wife loves beef tips from IHOP We live over an hour from the closest one, so going there is only on the occasion we are staying at a hotel near one. Last one we tried was a random Sunday afternoon in December and we were told it was like an hour and a half wait to be seated. I was fucking blown away anyone would wait that long for ihop
Got an email back from a company in Montana today... they responded by printing my email, writing their response in ink pen and signing it, then they scanned it and emailed it back as a PDF I am way too amused by this, but it's made me smile a few times since it happened
Print it out, frame it and take a picture of it framed, then send it back as an attachment with a typed email response
Some dipshit didn’t take a snapshot of the DB before running a bunch of schema scripts. That dipshit is me.
It’s a test env so no. No data loss but gonna take me all day to figure out which script added a bunch of duplicate shit.
I used to say fat fingered all the time and once I said it to a lady fatter than me. Legit hurt her feelings bad. I don’t say it anymore.
I just did this! She didn’t seem to react but I’m her superior and she’s a new hire, so I have no way of knowing if it didn’t bother her or if she was suppressing it considering the power dynamic. I considered apologizing for poor word choice but then it would have been more clear that I think she’s obese.
"I apologize for using the phrase 'fat-fingered' since you are a disgusting obese pig. I understand that this could be particularly triggering for you, personally."
Turns out I didn’t fuck the db at all. I actually fixed what I was trying to fix (invalid datatype after upgrade), but then that allowed updating the config store, and some misplaced artifacts got written to the config store twice, which caused jboss to fail creating archives. So I spent 5 hours trying to fix what wasn’t broken and 10 minutes fixing what was (once I figured it out).
I was out Friday and Monday for a wedding in Montana. I rarely take time off. My assistant is now so anxious she’s passive aggressively making me feel bad about being out with “all the things she needs to get off her plate today.” Fuck off with trying to make people feel bad about taking vacation.
lol I have a direct report who always complains about how much work she has then refuses any help I offer or offer to help her find. Some people just love to bitch and moan.
Drives me fucking batty when there's last minute time changes for meetings, especially ones that have been in the calendar for weeks. Especially annoying today since I'm trying to do a presentation whilst riddled with COVID and I've been timing my cold meds to be functional for the call, and 6 minutes AFTER the meeting is supposed to start they push the meeting back an hour. Like great, enjoy listening to me cough through this entire design walk through now you fucks.
On a scale of 1-10 how was the penmanship? I feel like this is a borderline power move if the hiring manager is just randomly a damn calligrapher or something.
Sent yesterday at 5pm: “As many of you know in April 2021, Joe Schmo stepped into the role of Interim Executive Director over the Waco area… …Please join us in congratulating Joe in his official role as the new Executive Director of the Greater Waco area!”
Some dipshit had to go out of town last minute for a funeral but promised to get some work done while gone. The fucker forgot his laptop power cord. That dipshit is me.
We had an employee appreciation gathering deal earlier with some speeches and shit. First time since covid. It is absolutely amazing how hard certain departments were patting themselves on the back for just doing their job.
Those road stripes ain’t gonna cause traffic issues at the worst possible times and repaint themselves!
It was more people who were working from home. If you can work remotely, whatever cool, do it. I don't want to hear that shit when it would take 3 days to get an email back from those people
I’m free at xyz Arizona time. Just give me a damn time zone and don’t make me double check what Arizona is doing right now.
Arizona is like Mets fans. They have nothing better to do than come up with ways for people to hate them.
One of the national grid organizations is mandating that we use the What3Words coordinate system instead of using UTM (S tier), Lat/Long (A tier), or UK Eastings/Northings (D-tier) because W3W "increases accuracy" despite it only being accurate to a 3-meter grid square, and all the other three systems are accurate to a less-than-1 meter grid square. You'll be shocked to know that W3W is a London-based private company and def didn't bribe someone for this.
After approximately 19 seconds of exploring the map, I think that my favorite feature is that the word combinations seem to make no logical sense relative to the others around it, making it conveniently impossible to estimate!
They apparently do that on purpose; the one redeeming feature about it is that it's great for search and rescue because it's basically a phonetic alphabet for geolocation, and its easy to understand over a garbled radio or phonecall thats dropping in and out.
lol. you can tell them to fuck off. tell them to take your coordinates and pay for the API key to spatially intersect your coordinates with the W3W grid.... its not rocket science. we did the same thing a few months back.
I just heard this conversation in the office: Co-worker 1, "Is today Tuesday or Thursday?" Co-worker 2, "It's Wednesday." Co-worker 1, "I knew that." Explain it!
Just got asked by an upper mgmt person, in an informal manner, about how I would feel about being promoted to manage my current boss. super awkward to think about.
Not my company, but I saw this happen recently in a group I do a lot of work with Director retired and assistant director assumed he was moving up, but they promoted a guy who was below them up to be the director leaving assistant director in place. Assistant director found another job in a pretty short time
