welcome back from a holiday weekend (if you're an Amuurrrican). Tell us about stories from your job! I got a new thunderbolt display for my work setup, and it is super awesome. I don't think I've ever worked on such nice gear for my work computer

It's not a great sign when you're seeing family and friends for the first time in 10 months and the thing you're most excited about is getting away from work for 8 days.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I'm sure you'll feel differently once you're there. And then probably feel differently again after you're there a few days. At least that's how it goes for me.
My head housekeeper has said that my rooms were so good that she didn't even really need to check them.
and then I get told that oh whoops you've been doing it wrong the entire time not to mention quite a few unkind words with regards to my character overall from the manager of another property, regardless of the fact I haven't ever engaged in the behavior he was criticizing. Kinda bothered by that!
Oh well.
my cousin just got done with a 6 week long grievance procedure due to a jealous superior trying to bully her out of her position as consultant at a property development company
she just got a new job lined up thats a pay rise so good for her

Also, working 12 hours on Monday made me FAT stacks of cash
I also watched a guy sprint out of another entrance with a gas powered leaf blower under his arm, jump into his car and speed off. The blower was then returned by his girlfriend using a receipt from another store. I missed the return because I was at lunch.
Thankfully I have a pre-interview writing test tomorrow at the local branch of a Japanese government office for an executive assistant position. I don't know how it will go. I'll have to edit, proofread, and speech writing.
Last night I thought everything I had done had mysteriously broken after an easy merge.
Thankfully I figured that out this morning and it was okay. Yay more stuff into prod.
I am so relaxed right now. Waiting until the bugs start pouring in.
I'm a crazy perfectionist though, and everything feels pretty clean so I anticipate there won't be all that many.
Hello, referral bonus. Come to pappa.
I suspect the former, but he's come back from the almost-certainly-dead before.
Can you build a sniffle bot to replace him?
Program the bot to sniffle and mumble out some kind of apology.

you'll be fine man, just be honest and be yourself. you got this :^:
That's basically everyday for me
I really thought it was not going ot turn into a total shitbox at work after xmas but alas I was wrong and totally wrong
Pff. Like he ever apologises.
Actually the robot would be a huge improvement in most regards.
anyway, full story has now been unearthed. Yes, he's been fired, and the only thing left for him to do is commit all his code updates and fill in any documentation that seems important - but he will still be here on and off for the rest of the week because he asked if he could stay around until he'd finished building his buzz lightyear cosplay costume, which he's been working on during lunch hours.
Gotta admire someone with their priorities straight.
Still a lot of work to be done, and also jobs needing hunting.
So now I may get to work for the gubmint, or a biomedical research place which will most assuredly be responsible for the zombie uprising.
Hope that the money is good!
Naph, have you learned nothing from your time shambling?
and that's how i'm rollin today

which lesson applies here
that he should walk out of the meeting promising to be back in a moment only to make them wait 30 minutes while he smokes a bowl
or that he should run through all the void zones in a panic and die 60 seconds into the interview, and lie on the floor until they go away
Or you show up at the very end of the day, and convince them to do 'just one more'
This is amazing.
Satans..... hints.....
Robot + Buzz Lightyear suit = Disney contract.
Either way, I'm going to listen to Don't Stop Believing on my way there.
I don't think we have a clause like that :P. But it was an ongoing project he had when he arrived in any case, he's just been using our workshop tools and some material offcuts to construct it.
boss was like "well as long as I'm not paying him and we're not needing the equipment, he can do whatever!" But there is an air of bafflement to the statement.
Perhaps ironically, one of the reasons he was hired is that the boss thought his cosplay hobby showed he had creativity, artistic sense and experience with low-level manufacturing tools.
I always liked their designs more because it was literally hand crafted and unique like how it's suppose to be.
