Filenames Fallacy

Anonymous

Working on our site and needed some product details from our dear leader the Marketing Lead. Received “Store_CATALOGUE MASTER (2) - Copy - Copy - Copy.xlsm”.

Smash head against desk, rename file to “Store_Catalogue_12122013.xlsm”

1 hour later, mail from dear leader. “Oh shit, I sent you the wrong file, there are so many of them on my desktop, we all make those sorta mistakes right?”

Receive new file: “Store_CATALOGUE MASTER (2) - Copy - Copy (2).xlsm”

*sigh*

    For the tale, I would've renamed the file "Store_Catalogue_20131212.xlsm” for file sorting purposes.

    Also, evidence that the tales backlog is two years?

    Is this where Isaac goes berserk and kills many of his co-workers? It seems to be leading up to that. Then we find out why Isaac had to take a QA job after being a dev, and was sleeping in his car.

    Not necessarily.

    I guess the Trenches is out of comics again. I really don't get why I bother anymore. The Tales from the Trenches should be put on the end of the news posts periodically and this comic should be done away with. I don't give a shit about a single 'character'. I put 'character' in quotations because these aren't even characters. They're abstract masses that briefly take form to splurt out a joke before reverting back into globules of nebulous tropes.

    Also, that girl on the right only has a single breast. And I do this not to mock her if she's had a surgery or something. She literally has one single breast growing out of the center of her chest.

    I have never seen any comments for the trenches, so I figured that the only reason why this comic was still going on was because it had some sort of fan base that loved the comic. Coming here made me realize that I am not alone in thinking that both the art direction and writing of these strips are both horrendous. And yes, these horribly drawn women are the rotten cherry on top of this pile of crap. I actually liked the art style when this strip began too... and then it turned into what ever this crap is somewhere down the line.... why?
