I'm kind of annoyed that I have to approve a request I made, but that was before I checked and found that the certificate request process was unauthenticated, so anyone could theoretically request a cert. So the extra layer of logging in and providing approval makes sense.
Same here. If those cowards would ever show their face in the present, I'd say we should jump them in an alley.
Me, internally: "I can think of a couple ways that wouldn't work 100% of the time, but..."
Me, externally: "Nope, not possible."
Fuck read receipts.
Eh,I don't bother. If you're left on read, there's a reason.
I made a reference to Jonestown when given a prompt about cults and none of the students got it (but the other two adult supervisors of the club did).
All the adults got real sad...
This should be good...
Follow up: He got them down to zero, rejected a few key resellers along the way, and has declared himself, and I quote: "Lord High Zendesk Arbiter"
Holiday break is too many days away.
Or, now just go with me here on this thought exercise, how about holiday break is too few days away?
Honestly this guy sounds fuckin' rad, I want to get drunk with him.

It sounds like this path leads to super villainy.
Do it!
In other news, found out yesterday I may have been exposed to covid by a co-worker. He has tested positive. Its been six days since and I have no symptoms. Still might get a covid test done today.
My story was when an opposing counsel asked a judge to sanction both me and my client for improper behavior for allegedly freezing them out of a deposition. The judge was not happy with them when I produced both the read receipt and their actual reply showing they were okay with what I had done.
Still warms my heart.
Yay forced vacations for an entire shift of employees! Yay extra unpaid OT for meee!! Yay cult of nurgle not wanting to tell people about a deadly infectious disease in their household!!!
Normally judges take a lenient, even tolerant view of being lied to by counsel. What are the odds of that guy getting the one judge with a hair up his ass about trivial stuff like that?
This is only tangentially related to your story, but I've been listening to the audiobook of the transcripts of the trial of the Chicago 7, and the amount of times the defense counsel says, "I can prove what we're saying is true" and the judge basically tells them to shut the fuck up makes my blood boil. I don't know how often lawyers wish they could punch a judge, but if I could go back in time I'd at least go give Judge Hoffman a wedgie.

He's good people to be sure. Not many I'd want more to stare into the void of the internet on the company's behalf.
I'm just thinking the dude needs a few weeks off, so pretty stoked that it's coming up soon for him.
It's that or I need to go get a conch shell and prepare for some shit to go down within the marketing dept.
Also, I am simultaneously vastly overpaid for what I do, and yet not paid enough. I basically am repeating the same things manually because we don't have enough will to have people help me out in a consistent manner. So I do it all manually without a chance to automate anything to make my life easier.
This is why I'm a grumble about my job and want to find something else, where I'm the regression testing person.
Don't bookmark the new thread until after you've read it all the way to the end.
And then, maybe, click out and back again first, just to be sure.
I wish I could mark threads as unread, as it'd be the easiest way to stay out of topics I don't think I should read.
There's at least three threads with Anime in the title and I have clicked on each of them at least once while only wanting to read one of them.
That means I have to speak to my Brexit voting Tory loving co worker again :?
