Always remember: Your job may suck, but at least you're not making 10 bucks an hour and getting random drug tests while your boss smokes pot with Joe Rogan.
Or maybe you are. I have no idea if any of you work for Tesla. Sorry.

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Looking it up it doesn't seem like it'd be too awful of a commute, since it's basically going the opposite direction most people are going in.
I dunno. Worth considering, I guess.
That's a lotta money.

Coworker: Do we have a paper cutter?
Me: Yeah, it's under my desk. Just be careful: the finger guard is broken so I guess don't stick your finger in there.
*10 seconds pass*
Coworker: OW, SHIT, MY FINGER.
He got 3 stitches at Urgent Care and blood all over my desk.
Coworker: Why didn't you warn me?!
Me: I DID. Verbally and in writing!

So hooray for having options, I guess
I had 8+ hours of OT from 2 days! so three day weekend!
Now the conversation I had with the well support informing him I would not be there Wednesday because of the massive amount of OT I ended up with
I just wanted to tell you I had Wednesday off. Why? I have 8+ hours of Ot right now. Really that's impressive. No, that's embarrassing. Why Wednesday? B told me to take it off because he had it covered. Of course he would do this to me. It's only one day you will be fine. No you are a good worker it's going to hurt without you.
The lead support was going to talk to him if he wants this job as I have found out he had a total break down last Monday with the whole crew turning on him and everyone else. This was in no small part due to my silly goose of a manager.
Engineers are either total gearheads or 100% unsuitable for field work of any kind.

This is so true. It all depends on what they did growing up.
I remember in college, senior year, driving with a guy in my senior design group in his truck. It's making a VERY loud squealing sound when he brakes.
Me: dude you need to get your brakes replaced.
Him: oh is that what that sound is? Thanks!
This is entirely unsurprising

Well, I was trying to tidy up my desk and found a little Rolex booklet that had arrived for him the other week that I could have sworn I’d left on his desk, but evidently not. Anyway, I went to give it to him and it turned out that was the important document he’d been waiting on. Uuuuuugh.
The store manager is finding my despair funny as hell.
I'm sorry BL, the thread title clearly says no more vacation. You missed the window.
I guess I'm taking the train!
Well that's not as heart breaking as being told on the eve of one vacation I planned for {that Saturday} I was told that they were canceling it as I had to cover for blank for his vacation
If it helps at all, so am I.
Wait, that doesn't seem very helpful at all, now that I read it back.
The closet I've found is Muscle & Motion, but I'd rather buy a complete program than have a subscription based service.
Yeeeep. I work with an engineer who is a legitimate genius, and yet I wouldn't trust that boy to use a toaster unsupervised.

I love my engineer hubby dearly.
but his observational skills are questionable.

Then five minutes later they loudly proclaim it to be busted, they leave, you walk over and *process* oh hey look it works now!
Going back tomorrow is going to feel weird.
I opened it up, there was a torn piece of a dollar bill in the cash dispenser feed path that was triggering a sensor. I used my pen to flick the torn piece out, machine back up and running.
I sat next to the photo copy machine at my old job and became the photocopier guru. There was only once or twice we had to call a tech and that is because we had a contract for service that precluded me getting into it and fixing it myself.

Analyzed, made moans to supervisors and got it serviced. Calipers were dying.
In regards to last thread about diversity hires.
My varied job history made me kick ass at college because i knew how to heard cats and how to handle crisis.
So now I am teaching medieval history to 7th-graders for the entire week.
What's the name of that Frenchwoman who sailed a fleet of vengeance after her husband and children were murdered by her political enemies?

is that it's really easy to do a short term fix in the wrong way.
Then you have a copier working, but making shittier copies, or increasingly cascading into a series of hard jams.
Which is super bad, and things can get to a point where there isn't an easy "call the service company" fix.
Lots of printers nowadays are pretty good about having a self diagnostic function,
with video directions on all the steps for dealing with stuff though,
so the chance of a laymen fucking things up is diminished.
Do Arabic medieval history it's bonkers
Then yesterday, same department head emails me
'hey 101 I need the reports in a PowerPoint for a meeting tomorrow morning'
At 4:30, as I'm heading out the door for a gp appointment.
Fortunately my boss covered for me and got the PowerPoint out, but good lord why is this an issue now.
Oh well, I'll spend my morning writing up some vba to output our reports in various formats. By the time I'm done my dept he's will be able to read them in Morse code if they want.
So you added LaTeX output?
