One I'm happy for, although it should have been earlier and when we could have celebrated together.
Another that is being stubborn, with a rough commute just to say they're still ahead of where they were before.
Another that's getting fed up, and probably would give me their spot if they could but at the same time a lot seems self-defeating.

Too much stuff to do at work. Too little time to play FPWW. I'm exactly the same, the only upside is I can play Fire Pro 2 on GBA so I can work on my edits on that. It's going to be March/April before i get any proper FPWW time at this rate. |

Just a simple gripe: my throat's been burning lately so I have to switch up what I drink. :/

Nothing like a familiar but unwelcome face to set the mood.

First world problems. Tucking your shirt in. Work is now starting to enforce this because six months ago a guy got pulled into a machine by his t-shirt and got pretty messed up. Weird that they're blaming his t-shirt when he had just worked 3 night shifts in a row and his mandatory call in just happened to be the next night and he was working in an exhausted state. But putting the blame on anything the company might be culpable for is not an option; so it was obviously his t-shirt and his negligence. Now company wide all employees in all shops have to tuck their shirts in even if they aren't working with machines that can snag you, like my shop. Never in my life have I ever worked with my shirt tucked in, I find it extremely restrictive, especially when you're doing a labor job where you move around constantly. Weekends and night shifts when the day trash isn't around to enforce the new rule I can't see most people following it, but fuck is that ever annoying. Mostly because my shirt comes untucked within twenty minutes of tucking it in. The company has just completely written me off from ever volunteering for working any sort of overtime again. I actually worked my night shifts with my shirt untucked as usual but the last hour of the shift when the day trash started showing up in the morning I tucked it in. I still find it pretty offensive the company completely dismissed employee exhaustion as the reason for the accident. If I ever win the lottery I wouldn't even show up to work to give my two week notice or even to say goodbye to anyone, I'd just call in to the gatehouse and let them know I'm done.
Less than a month to go to vacation. Which is my second bitch. Timed my vacation for the release of FFVII Remake and the game gets delayed. Fuck.

Influencer: talentless, obnoxious, narcissistic douchebag that spends hours in front of a camera, droning on about topics they have little to no expertise in that inexplicably have armies of lemming like virtual followers that ensure substandard humans getting paid for nothing continues to become the new standard. Influencer. http://instagram.com/p/BN7PJXxhy57 Please use “influencer” in a sentence. “I fell out of my chair, hit my head on a pile of feathers, and killed too many brain cells to keep my career as a turnip spinner, so, as a back up that is within my intellectual and maturity capacity, I will pursue a career as an influencer.” Hater: see poster. 🙂 |

I expected that D and I were going to end up getting the new minion ready, but neither of us expected having to fix something that shouldn't have been a problem. In part because this particular person doesn't want to do any of the important stuff and then when they have to, they aren't familiar and even worse, they don't bother to ask.

A lot went down this past week and it hasn't let up. Emergencies popping up leading to short staff, a "they can't be this dumb" from two that should know better but seem to be wearing out their welcome, and some more "well, if this person changes spots then I think ____ and/or ___ will try to take their place" that may or may not sort itself out. Oh and another call that might help in the short run but complicate things later in the month.
That's besides net week, which I don't really expect to provide any clarity.

There's enough going on to make the Chicken Little types in our areas extra paranoid but "I know how the game is played."

Walked in expecting one kind of bullshit, ended up overhearing a completely different one that will make tomorrow even more "fun."

It annoys me when comedians claim not to understand something that has a ridiculously easy explanation.
Case in point, there was some guy talking about how greeting cards are getting too overspecialized with their categories. Which, ok, maybe.
He lost me when he started talking about "blank inside" cards as if that's some abstract emotion or something. Like, as if it's sympathy for a friend that's feeling "blank inside."
No, dude, it means the card itself is literally blank inside. As in, no little pre-printed message. Extra room for writing your own. Taking two seconds to actually look at one would've made that obvious.

For a moment it seemed like everything was fine again, and then back to being a stone wall.

Back in my day, you had to hike 10 miles to the town printing press for them to fill every inch of the greeting card with pre-stipulated emotions. But now people are allowed to say stuff personal to them? Psh. What's next? Allowing people to make their own character in video games!?" 😁 |

I knew it was going to happen, I knew as soon as she came walking into the break room with that hacking cough I was instantly infected. After the token 72 hour incubation period which also happens to land on my first day of vacation, I woke up sick as a dog with a head cold. Didn't help it was also -18 outside. Oh well, at least it seems to be one of those three day head cold's because I think I am almost through it after sleeping through my first two days of vacation. I'd rather be sick at home than at work anyway.

Two words,
Mouth watering.
What normal human uses the term “mouth watering” to describe a great item of food? This term is used in advertising to get us troglodytes to shell out our hard earned Zenny for some shitty microwaved dog food to be carelessly shoved at us through a drive through window, but when was the last time your buddy polished off a burger and said “that was the most mouth watering burger I’ve ever had!”? The answer is NEVER.
Interesting and vomit inducing all in one stroke, a ridiculous term meant to entice us to purchase food even though we would never use it to describe our favourite meals.
Sorry... not sorry. 🙂
