    If I even have read emails sitting in my inbox and not properly filed it makes me twitchy, unread emails are like nails in my brain.

    I open a lot of tabs when researching something so that I can go back and forth. The tabs stay open a few days, then I whittle them down as I get what I need. I usually try to turn my computer off for the weekend, so I try to get all my tabs closed by then. Sometimes it happens.
    If I bookmark, I just lose track of everything.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    I keep tabs until the icons become invisible, then I open a new window. At the moment I have 3, one for each screen and a third with leftover things.

    Things only get closed when Chrome crashes in a way that ruins restore, and I can't recall everything that was open.

    Email filters are the light. I honestly don't know how people function without them... ESPECIALLY at work! Should be required to set that up, IMO. So tired of people saying they can't find an important email because their inbox is completely unsorted and unread. LET ME HELP YOU

    google has spoiled me, i just need a vague idea of what the email was about and i can find it in my personal emails

    outlook's search is unfortunately still shit, but i refuse to adjust to inferior technology, so i just spend minutes finding the exact wording i need to pull up an email

    So my work does this thing every year I guess where they hide an elf on the shelf around the building a give "clues" as to where its hidden and if you find it you win a prize.

    You notice how I put clues in quotes up there?

    Because we've done it since Monday this week and every day the clues have been awful:

    Day 1: I like the view up here! Not on the 5th floor balcony, or one of the lunch rooms with windows that look out over town, but in the 5th floor computer lab that has no windows.

    Day 2: I'm chilling out after a rough day! Inside a piano on the first floor. See its by the door so its cold.

    Day 3: I'm relaxing! Not in the room literally called the relaxation room, or any of the break rooms, no it was in an 'isolation' room in the satellite building across the street that none of the people who've been here for 10+ year even knew existed

    Day 4: I see you! Sitting next to a plushie owl in the cafe.

    Day 5: I can see you, can you see me?! In an elevator ontop of a Christmas decoration.

    Seriously these are awful clues!

    agh, hammered by my own browsing hubris

    I should have gone through my 4-months worth of open tabs and bookmarked the important ones weeks ago, because my computer just crashed randomly
    and due to an unfortunate collision between the system default of "open all the shit that was open before the crash" and an automated database authentication script that pops open your browser without asking, I didn't hit the 'restore tabs' button.

    I have no idea what was there. Important things, no doubt. Research papers. Hardware shopping carts. A funny video.
    All those tabs, lost, like tears in the rain.

    I have 99 tabs open on my phone and I really need to get this shit under control before the exact same thing happens to me.

    how do y'all function? If I get 8 tabs I start sweating

    Dogshit memory and not giving a fuck, mostly.

    Second interview completed. This was a weird one, because they asked questions about my answers to questions, like a normal interview. I haven't had one of those in years! State's very rigid normally, six questions no deviation.

    I think I did pretty well though. If anything i might have rambled too much because every question I had an ocean of examples to pull from, such as what computer programs I have experience with.

    Yeah uh this is my first year here and the email introducing the elf and the concept thereof was just

    "Tee he he, I'm hiding and you can't find me!

    -M "

    (the elf's name is Mikey) It was not a comfortable thing

    Yesterday I had to cover another substitute teacher.

    At one point during 3rd period they suddenly puked in the classroom's garbage can and then just stayed in the class.

    At one point the vice principal arrived and the substitute refused to leave (saying she could make it through the rest of the day). So the administrator went, got another teacher on their planning period, brought them to the class and forced the substitute to go home.

    Somehow, somehow, I don't think this emergency substitute issue is going to continue for much longer because the actual substitutes keep shitting the bed.

    Want a clean office? Want your bathroom scrubbed and your lunch boxes washed? Hire stoners, apparently; the staff has been killing it here lately. The second the budtenders have any downtime they’re instantly scrubbing/sweeping/vacuuming.

    Yes, but I would not use the comparison to justify it. Even if that's fair, I just don't think it would work.
