We are all stuck at work, probably. Or looking for work. Or dreading the idea of work.
Come and share your woe, that it may multiply!

I don't really get red pandas.
They're like...glorified raccoons.

ALSO: We managed to bust ass and get a project done and delivered to the group that has been dragging ass on answering questions we needed answered. I tell representative of said group that we should be done by day's end and his response was "took long enough." He then turned around and walked off.
If I stabbed him I would go to jail. There is truly no justice.
But then I saw this morning that there's a job posting for my other dream job - namely, as a footman in the royal household of England. I really want to apply even though I lack a passport (and am cursing myself for dithering so much about acquiring one).
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
What's a footman? Wikipedia says it's like a servant? You can be Alfred to the Queen's Batman?
Well if she has to fight Killer Croc, yeah, she's going to need all the help she can get.
Passports take like a couple weeks to get? The work visa would be harder
Look into the face of a hardened killer.
driving half the day tomorrow to get to a conference, then driving half the day to get back on Friday. And today I spent two hours animating videos of humphrey bogart and anthony hopkins because apparently it was urgent that a french planetarium have a robot that can impersonate these people at a moment's notice.
I need to pack ...
This is such a weird office.
You might try and start another bloody revolution.
I'm not the person hiring or interviewing, so I can't really do more then point in the general direction of HR's inbox and ask for resumes.
On a related note, the fact that y'all coons was pretty disconcerting for me because here in Australia, that word is a hella racist term for the aboriginal people of Australia. 'Make sure you don't leave any rubbish out! Those coons will be on it like white on rice!' 'W-what?!'
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

But then we call cigarettes fags.
I'm pretty sure those are offensive terms everywhere.
Sounds a lot like socialism to me.
Depending on the makeup of the crowd you're in, using the truncated version of the word 'raccoon' in America will get you into a world of hurt.
But if you're going for 'ironic lynching' then you'll be set!
Friend of mine and I keep talking about how cool it would be to open up a cool coffee place in the Orlando area. We're both coffee nerds, and we think we could maybe do something cool, and his dad has been looking for a neat project to invest in but ahhhhhh the whole thing sounds utterly terrifying
apparently there is emergency server maintenance from 8PM CDT to 6AM CDT
which includes exchange server
and i was editing something to send to my boss, which i did, welllll before thing went down
then she was sposed to send it to client tonight after reviewing
but i do not think she did before e-mail went down.... which means she did not read the e-mail from IT either
ohhh well, i know she got it, nothing to be done, e-mail is down
dan how good of a shot can you pull
make a youtube video
if you succeed then you should do this
actually you should do this anyway, follow your dreaaaaaaaams
No one reads emails from IT.
"AHHHH THE EMAIL ISN'T WORKING, WHAT DO WE DO"
"Something...else?"
Thankfully since I moved all the transactional stuff over to Mandrill invoices and shipping notifications and whatnot all still go out without issue.

Got in touch with one of the IT guys today, tried to get my web-mail reinstated:
"Okay, no problem, I'll just send you a new password that you can reset whenever. Aaaaaaaand done."
" ... Did you just send that to my personal gmail account or to the company email?"
" ... So, what's your gmail?"
*sigh*
I was the first freakin' person they called up in front of everyone to tryout during the first set of auditions (as if I wasn't nervous enough already, having never acted or had an audition before).
Apparently I did well though, because I made it through all the auditions and got hired. One of the other people that got hired even commented to me that he thought I was the best one in the group, but I'm like 90% certain he was just being nice and making conversation.
So now I'll be working 7 days a week for most of the next two months (Mon-Thur at my normal office job, Fri-Sun at Busch Gardens). Hopefully I don't go insane. I also won't be getting to see my wife very much, but we need the extra money for Christmas time so hopefully it'll all work out.
Also, I learned something important about auditions. It sucks to go alone. Virtually everyone else that was auditioning was there with a group. I did manage to eventually socialize a little, though.
sadly, a lot of people think the correct answer is to yell at IT
So, so many useful things I've sent to our CS Dept
"Oh hey, while I was working on another thing, I found a great way to notify you when an order that was placed on credit hold, had the hold removed, but hadn't yet been printed, to make sure you print it so it can go out to the warehouse to be picked and shipped, here's some detailed instructions on how to set it up and also I already made custom ones for each of you CS guys so it's literally just a few mouse clicks"
*one week later*
"WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ORDERS BEING TAKEN OFF CREDIT HOLD AND NOT BEING PRINTED"
:?
No I just think of Spark Mandrill from Megaman X
*not really
nobody at work uses eFax on a regular basis, and certainly not internally
nobody at work has an American Express card (except for like, three people)
nobody at work has a Verizon account
And then as soon as I send it for the next several days I get everyone forwarding their spam to me going "WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS?"
