i am mildly salty she stressed how important and useful and good it was for us to come back into the office and she's been in like 1-2 days a week tops
I was just talking to my buds about finding stuff on old high school friends
Mine was a bummer but one of the guys they knew in high school — a goof, nice guy, was really into Warhammer, I believe dropped out, etc — joined the military and now has two medals of bravery: one for disarming an IED with no gear on, and one for rushing into a burning building to save a child and her mother.
God damn
Man, he's just dedicated his life to making you feel inadequate. What an asshole.

Man I know you've got an awesome-ish job right now but I'd be fucking banging the hammer on that shit and fuck the consequences. I hate it when bosses are all "okay I've gotta go do something without letting anyone have any warning have fun working for the rest of the day" and especially when you find out that they paid for a full days work.

we don't really have natural disasters you can be in that much, come to think of it
bits of it fall into or slides down onto other bits on occasion but like, either that just stops your roadtrip or you're dead
Our earthquakes hardly feel like natural disasters. They have definitely injured/killed people, but most of our building have to be built assuming a fairly big quake will occur. So short of Cascadia finally coming to save us all from civilization, it's not usually a huge issue.

i mean she works all day long, just not in the office most days, so it's less like boss being a slacker and more just not really leading by example
we also have a realignment in the works and she won't be my boss in a few months so there's zero benefit to me to make waves

I just ran a meeting that started very rough but I think we saved it. I’m on break
Also, we were discussing school uniforms in the office earlier and somebody brought up how they hated their school regulation underwear. We're not convinced it was actually a school she attended.
Was she a Mormon, I know they have their special underwear.
I mean how couldn't you feel comfortable wearing an entire 1920s bathing suit as underwear.

More than once I've had a boss skip work only to find out that yeah, they went to a party and got paid.
My last bosses did that too only they invited me and the rest of the of age coworkers to the party which beat the hell of just about anything else they could've done to smooth that over. Best bosses I've ever had actually.

i actually get on really well with my boss and i'm bummed she won't continue being my boss and the work from home issue is basically the only complaint i have about my job

oh I suppose you can just build to make most earthquakes be less of a disaster and more of an inconvenience like, well, a storm. Like somebody unlucky might die and some roof might get blown off but for the most part it just means it's going to be unpleasant outside, some trees will fall, and ferry departures get canceled. On that level rather than disaster movie.

They were actually super professional when it came to work. Plus I got paid real real well for working in what was basically a corner store/gas station and I think I'm the most appreciative of this, when it came to assholes in the store they brought a hammer and gave all of the employees a hammer and went "Yeah call the cops if you need to here's where the silent alarm is we'll back you 100% regardless when you need us."
It's just they were basically retirement age and they knew the people left in charge could handle just about anything short of like, the store blowing up suddenly and they wanted to enjoy themselves every so often.
i am mildly salty she stressed how important and useful and good it was for us to come back into the office and she's been in like 1-2 days a week tops
management has been making us come into the office once per week for no reason, and now they're talking about bumping it up to twice per week.
I've got at least half a mind to yell at someone about what a waste of time this is.
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Also, we were discussing school uniforms in the office earlier and somebody brought up how they hated their school regulation underwear. We're not convinced it was actually a school she attended.
I've spoken to people who had regulation underwear at their schools, along with teachers who would check with a mirror on the end of the stick like you'd use to check a car for bombs
They would have been attending school a while back, though, like, 1970s

we had a big earthquake here like ten years ago but we're east coast where they don't really happen so it was really low on the richter scale and all the west coast people shit on us for making a big deal out of it but none of our infrastructure is built to handle that shit
also because the plate is extremely rigid the epicenter was in Louisa, VA, and it was measurable as far away as Toronto
but speaking of, bits of the country falling off doesn't just mean swiping away houses or blocking roads, there's also this, which will at some point happen
but that does fit my idea that you're not "in them" either you've left or you're dead (the movie thing about the movie's plot is that something something plausible enough reason for the layman that they fail to predict the rockslide ahead of time - in reality they're fairly certain they'll be able to tell in time - but the rest of it is real. At some point Åkerneset will fall into the fjord and ten minutes after that a wave the size of the one in the trailer will delete Geiranger. Fun!
My boss is gone well over the hill and is a completely entitled ass so I'm more than a bit sick of him.
He took a job with a 4 week lead time(2.5 weeks ago)-so due 7/20. Engineering told him they couldn't get it done in time. 'Fuck you I'll do it myself then'. The engineering still isn't done, huge revisions still ongoing. Job has a couple longer leadtime items.
Emailed the vendor 6/29, they said yes they can have it done in two weeks. They need design parameters(6/30). He just sent them this morning along with "I need delivery next week".
If it was just the incompetency (he has refused to learn how to use our design software or even just Autocad for over a decade) or just him sniffing his own farts I could deal with it, but together I'm going to snap.
