If someone asks "what's your availability" and someone answers with "nothing", do you take that to mean they have no availability (i.e. their calendar is full) or they have nothing going on (i.e. their calendar is free)?

Leaving me out of a work email reply all chain is the nicest present you could get me, so that promoted person must be feeling pretty good.
My motivation is gone for the rest of the day. I solved the problem my supervisor needed me to pitch in for and now I just have no energy left to do the things that are actually part of my job that I was planning on knocking out today.
Anytime I tried to explain anything to the two people I was brought in to help it would take 2-3 times before they understood what I was saying. I’m still not entirely sure they actually understand.

My wife was going to drop off her car with the mechanic and rent a car to go to work today
Then, in between our front door and the garage, a bird shit on her so bad that it got both her jacket and her pants
She decided that it was a sign to just stay inside and not go to work today
Seems like the right call
In college, I developed a huge crush on someone I had been friends with for a while. I finally got up the courage to ask her out, and as I was walking across the quad, a bird took a massive shit right directly on top of my head.
That was the sign from God that it wasn't meant to be.
Our department is overseen by the manager who oversaw the similar department from one of the companies we acquired a while ago. They keep trying to fire some of our employees who aren't closing cases fast enough despite us already being shorthanded and the reason they don't close as many cases as other people in the department. Ignoring the fact that we verifications that they don't handle that stay open longer than the verifications they handle and don't seem to understand that international verifications take longer.
So we're going to have to just pull internationals from one of the employees and give them the easy cases so they can get their numbers up to make the remote managers happy. Yay!

Hey ya'll, since CA passed a law recently, the company I work for now posts salary range for all positions! There are a few that haven't been updated yet, but I think that might be a case of old reqs that need to be deleted.
I don't know if this is part of the CA law, but they are including ranges not only for CA, but for other states. I suspect this is because they don't want everyone to think they can get the higher range that is only offered to high cost of living states like CA.
Colorado started doing it and several places then just stopped their hiring in Colorado because they didn’t want to post a salary range. Ugh.
Yeah, my workplace used to only post CO ranges for jobs offered there, and the range was always on the super-low end, and only the starting pay range. So they didn't have any motivation to include ranges for other states, since literally every other state would be a higher pay range.
Another great thing about the CA law is that it requires companies in CA provide average salary ranges by race and gender. Though I can see ways companies can screw around with this accounting to make their equitability look better than it is, it's still a good step forward.
NY just did it as well, and a lot of naysayers were like 'well they'll just exclude NY too' but that hasn't really happened. NY and CA are large enough markets that it probably hurts more to exclude them than to just post the ranges.
WA also did the pay thing, though it's not effective until Jan 1
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

So one of the benefits of being the only librarian in a library is that you can just decide to make changes to stuff without having to get approval from anyone. I decided to rearrange some collections so I could detach some upper shelves from a tall shelving unit by the computer lab to create better sight lines for supervision. Downside is that you have to do the grunt work yourself, but whatever, I like shifting books.
Anyway I'm about half done and last night I had dreams where my mind was like, wtf are you doing you stupid idiot, you didn't think this through at all, you always do this!
It is not a big deal and I can always put the stuff back if I don't like it, but that is just how my mind works.

This is a good example of how collective action and individual patchwork laws can eventually create an outsized effect
The best part about attending a training in something online is that when they try to force people to participate in an activity in a breakout room you can just…log out.
“We think it would be fun for you guys to go into breakout rooms and design a webpage for -”
Absolutely not. Eject.
If this happens in a conference room you run the risk of a moderator blocking the door.

My boss basically told me to take next week off - or precisely, the 3 days before Thanksgiving break. Says he can tell I need a vacation, and that I should take one soon. Next week just happened to work out.

I got a hug today.
On my way to work, a girl with a shopping bag in one hand and a boxed cake in the other randomly stopped me and asked for a hug. So... hug.
Honestly the best start to a work day I've had in a while.
And then I checked to make sure I still had my wallets and phones.

I like the idea of someone's hug tank just hitting zero in the middle of the street, so they just have to look around for the most huggable person in their field of view to give them a jump.

i, on the other hand, absolutely do not
that guy screaming a touch can kill a touch can kill in the old twilight zone that's me that is actually me on a film
Yeah though usually the stranger wanting to hug me isn’t a nice sounding lady with a cake box.
I usually get the possibly homeless dude hitting me with a newspaper because I was ignoring him saying “hey”’to me 20 times in a row while waiting for the train because he needs me to know he thinks I have nice hair and then he asks to touch it.
They very clearly make sure all official talk is Gift and not Bonus, due to tax liability. However, it is dependant upon production targets.
How tf is that not a bonus?
ANYWAYS, as usual, temps recieve 20% of what full time employees get. So I will only come out losing a few days worth of pay from the shutdown. Yes, the "Gift" does not actually replace wages lost due to shutdown for temps.

What the hell
my cry darkened the stars
I’ve also counted how many work days I have left between now and 2023. Time is not moving faster.
And we still have more folks logged in than we ever did at my previous job
lol, lmao
It's 11:25 now
This feels like it took days to get here
I'm very tired, even with the work phone being kinda busy today, today is dragging
Hooray

I replied that some of the rows were missing data in mandatory columns
They asked me for a “specification” of those rows, so I filtered the excel sheet they just sent me and returned it to them
