this job went down the toilet into the Ur-toilet
I think maybe if employees are expected to stay up to two hours after closing at the bank, something is not being run correctly
Also any time there is a sales goal deficit now, the daily goals are doubled
Why don't they just slam my head on my desk

Well it is my job today and tomorrow to go on some business travel, basically so that I can stand there and be completely outnumbered in a room by the client and contractor.
Take basic fear of public speaking, little knowledge on what's actually going to happen, and my job on the line and you can imagine my stress level right now.
Had a little girl come in to the ER tonight for a popcorn kernel stuck in her ear. She was seen by a doc earlier somewhere else who referred her to a specialist to get it removed because they couldn't get it out. It was causing her too much pain so the dad wanted to get her checked.
I got that shit out in like 5 minutes 8-) 8-) 8-)
that is awesome
but stuff stuck in your ear is my nightmare
Behind spoilers if you don't want them nightmares:
A friend of mine went to the ER because of a loud scratching sound in his ears. Turned out a small cockroach crawled in there and had to be dragged out. :?
Been there. I had a trouble hearing out of my ear one day in high school, and something blocking my pinky from getting in there (I know, but I was young and reckless and wouldn't let the man tell me what couldn't be used to clean my ears). I pulled it out with tweezers. My reaction at the time was "huh", but I slept with cotton balls in my ears for a month.

Ahhhh memories. Not meeting your goals?
Raise em up!
Doing too well at your goals and exceeding them?
Well you're doing so well, lets raise your targets!

I've been at this company for 8 years now. All that time I could have been using the free tuition policy to improve myself for the job market, but I foolishly thought I'd be with Verizon for like 30 years, loading up on the union seniority. Sigh. I'll probably have to go back to phone support for my next job.

Is this real life? I tend to pass this stuff off as urban legend, but someone here saying it personally happened to them rather than their friend friend makes me think twice.

I can only pass on a friend's story but said friend absolutely had a bug in his ear many years ago. Had to flush it out with water.

My sister had an inch-ant in her ear when she was a kid. Can definitely happen.

More spoilers for disturbing -
I once dated a guy who lost hearing in one ear due to ....
When he was around 3 his parents came to the states from Vietnam and lived in really crappy apartments for a while. A roach got in his ear and ATE part of it (the eardrum?). After the roach was removed - because his parents couldn't understand or read English well, they put medicine in his ear that was meant to be taken orally. Even though he was super young - the whole experience was so horrifying he remembers it vividly.

So we just had an active shooter situation a few blocks away on the campus (USC, if it isn't obvious). Heck of an hour until the rumors that it was a murder-suicide rather than active shooter were confirmed. All sorts of bad reports of shooting in other areas during that hour though and it was a bit harrowing.
The danger passed, absolutely no work is getting done now.

Man, we had a guy shooting at the cops here the other day. Then some crazy chase, and they had a SWAT team come in and escort everyone out of a nearby Byerly's.
One of the lady's coworkers was in Byerly's (a fancy grocery) at the time, and it was apparently the first time she had been there.

So I have this desktop monitoring software that lets me see live views of all the computers in the library and take them over and issue commands. We use it to make sure kids aren't playing quake or something.
There is this company default logo that comes up when I hit the button that blanks their screens.
I might have just changed it to a black screen with a red Hyrda and the words "Hail Hydra" below it.
I just got very angry that my mouse had up and shat itself and no amount of shaking or banging on the desk would fix it
...and then I realized I was holding an orange
Mouse works fine, I however am broken as fuck
With all the talk of timspork's literal mice, it took me far too long for me to realize you were not talking about mistaking an orange for a rodent pooping itself. It was a strange journey.

I've been incredibly unproductive this afternoon because of that. Glad you're okay.
why did you get rid of all of the good flights to greenville/spartanburg

That's my home airport!
And the answer is because they hate all that is good in the world.

Yeah my back is fucked. Called in, nearly collapsed outside the gym, had to take a cab home. I'll go to the VA hospital if I can't move more by tomorrow.

Yep, the official annoucement came down that Verizon Wireline in FL, TX, and CA are being sold off. At least I have a year to find a new job.

that makes no sense.

If we fall short of the daily goalby enough the next day's goals are doubled

see when you make a sales budget the world instantly spawns the amount of people needed to buy your product and sets them on the path to your business
you never know when during the year they'll show up, but they will
was it that you'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes?
You better be undermining them from the inside, Tam, if you know what's good for you

All boundaries! Geographical, emotional, social, political, economical. All the boundaries you need to think about when designing a space!
