This is a thread for dynamic people who want to share their tales of accomplishment and triumph in the workplace, for stories of the fulfillment you get when your peers and superiors praise your work and hold you up as an example to all of the very best that we all strive to be. Or, you know, other work stories, but I'm sure it's all good stuff.

As far as i know, no, nothing built into win10. I usually use PDFtk.
I hate it when people bring doughnuts 'cause I love me some doughnuts.
yeah, sounds about right.
I would later go on to cut the same pinky in the same spot on a piece of glass from an aquarium that basically broke while I was holding it to clean it and my hand went fucking through the glass.
As a fellow green banana lover I wanted to high five her, but refrained.
They have such a weird taste though!
That's fair.
Something to be vaguely proud of before I take a week's leave (because the monthly investment definitely wasn't it. This time I felt really bad for the IT guy, mind. Poor fucker has basically had a load of work he doesn't really know how to do dumped on him, nobody properly reviewing his work, and obviously it's all gone tits up).
Solar said something nice about IT!!! Positivity is already kicking in!
They did a load and it was wrong. Missed out over a thousand member's employer contributions. Lot of money.
So we got them to do a load of just those, and they sent us a report saying "everything that has a y next to it loaded, everything with an n didn't load" Because there was only six n's, we can manually do those easier than they can reload, so okay.
Turns out, that the ones that said y hadn't loaded, and the ones that said n had. So, you know, six worked.
When I called him up to tell him this, he just sighed, and it was painful to hear. I just softly asked him to load it again, please, if that's alright, cheers very much, and he said he would.
I mean obviously, you look at the first one, it's not worked. But he's so snowed under, and by himself, he didn't look, he just shoved it in and hoped for the best. Poor bugger.
... Eventually realised some numpty had entered the part weight as 100lb.
Oh and got confirmation of my participation in a law course in Geneva come summer.
I mean I don't know what you expected when you decided to order a piece of neutron star. That's on you, friend.
fuuuccckk
No they're not, they're tough, starchy, and acerbic!

Wanting a piece of neutronium for perfectly normal non-villainous usage is totally noble.
this is a thing I'm not used to yet but the 'compromise' temperature in the training room at work is 75 degrees. several of my coworkers will turn it up to 78 or higher if they think they can get away with it, and I'll turn it down to 72 sometimes when nobody is watching. and this is why I've been wearing skirts, cropped pants, and tank tops to work in fuckin January and February
And if you expect me to wear long sleeves it ain't going above 71.
Bring a fucking jacket.
Can I use my space heater?
I am... a hair's breadth from a six figure salary. what the hell
The room here that my fiancee works in has its own thermostat, and everyone else besides her in the department is over 55. The lady in charge is 65 and always cold. ALWAYS. Since the thermostat is next to her desk she controls it and its always extremely hot. Today she reported to me that it was 83.
As far as I'm concerned that grounds to kill.
[three fire emojis]
Sure
I got hit in the head with a box of hand weights weighing over 30lb at work while unloading the truck
When I went into work with my head very swollen and I was blind in one eye because it swelled shut
It became a legend at work and sadly the rumor of I am a super soldier program or failed kill bot started up again
I am not allowed to unload the truck piece by piece but I still have to do it for pallets or such
The orc green ones? that's a new hybrid replacing the last cloned one as the fungus was getting close to figuring that one out
The joke is because Sigatoka fungus is figuring out the clones and hybrids as fast as they put them out for production so bananas may have less than 20 years left in them
See!
This attitude right here is why I end up kntting myself all kinds of things.
In preparation for the ridiculously cold that my office is going to be this winter, I have a new quilted lap blanket my mum made me, handknit wool fingerless gloves (wool and silk, actually), and a brand new handknitted shawl I just finished for myself.
Because it gets fucking cold in the fucking office and I've already been told to "bring a fucking coat then".
So fuck that. If I"m gonna be cold, I'm gonna at least be cold in style.

'Well we really need to be able to talk to the cardholder about this, is she available?'
"No shes sleeping."
ok so...she JUST lost her card, but she asleep already and having you call us at 2 AM? Fine "Well in these situations its preferred if we get the info from the cardholder, in case we need to ask sensitive information."
'Well I'm her father, I'm on the account, I can answer anything"
'Again, its preferred and in the future unless theres an impairment she needs to be the one calling in to let us know'
"Look just cancel the damn card"
'Ok. Did she want to mark and transactions on here as fraud?'
"I don't know what were the last few?"
'It looks like theres $250 at *A bar* and $120 at *A Well Known Sex Shop Chain*' (Thank you universe. I appreciate this gift you've given me)
"Well she would never make purchases like that! It must be fraud!"
'Are you sure? Because it looks like shes at this bar often, and at the store she used her Chip and PIN which means the card had to be present'
"...I'll have her call back in the morning."
Yeah see thats why.
The next one just pissed me off. An 18 year old whos grandmother called in, I said the same and she was very understanding "Ok let me get him" and I can hear in the background as he stumbles over to the phone saying "I don't want to talk to them. Your suppose to talk to them!" and being really shitty before picking up the phone with a "Yeah what". Like dude, your calling me to do you a favor. We go through the whole thing with him being super rude the whole time and at the end he just says to his grandma "Its done. It was dumb you could have handled that". Didn't say thank you or goodbye or even confirm the actions he wanted me to take. Which...I could have been a real dick because technically since he didn't listen and hung up on me while I was confirming what I was doing I could have...not done it and been within protocol. But his grandmother was very sweet so I went ahead and took care of it.
Actively heating anything above 63 is a crime.
This is madness.
But, food?
