University: Here is an email to apply for a job! Applies for job.
Emailed person: This is the wrong email! Apply via this link! Applies via link.
New person: I was told to expect your application, where is it? Its not on the website. siiiigh I bet he gave me the wrong link.
Bright side: new person reached out about it, meaning you didn't just get silently lost in the shuffle. When it comes to the byzantine bureaucratic process of applying for jobs, I'd consider that a win.
Its the one where I have a contact but its like, you want me to apply - let me apply! haha
Have you had to deal with any of the online apps where you have to upload your resume/cv, then they take you to a web form where you have to fill out all the info from your resume/cv? Those are the worst
Its similar to one of those, rather than a "just attach to an email your work" one so thats why its all silly!
The most tiring part of this whole application process is having to enter all of your information into a cumbersome set of forms that has a 25% chance of glitching out and losing all that you've entered.
And what the ef is this when they say Chrome isn't supported?

I don't know if it's better/worse when you upload your resume and the system attempts to populate the form fields but does so in such a terrible way that it would be easier to do it from scratch.

My favorite are the plaintext forms where even if you copy and paste yourself you gotta spend a bunch of time reformatting everything. I think last time I was looking for work I ended up just creating a plaintext copy of my resume specifically for those forms.
The baby duiker is barely eating and has become very shaky. I predict it won't last more than another day or two.
This has been a trying few days.
Does Pepto work on Duikers?
I don't know about duikers, but you can't give pepto to cats because they have a hard time metabolizing it. It's rarely a good idea to give human medications to animals without first knowing how they react.
But something like gatorade, to replace lost electrolytes and rehydrate, might be good.

So someone on our networking team (we are still unsure who) thought it would be a good idea to delete the AD group that we put people in to give them the base level internet access here at HQ.
So now a good 80% of the people here don't have internet access and are calling us on the phone in a panic so rather than the networking group fixing their fuckery, the helpdesk folks have to.

When I applied for my current position (as internal applicant) my application literally disappeared. The system just accepted it, showed as having been submitted on my view of the careers site, but apparently didn't exist anywhere else.
I called HR after waiting an appropriate number of days not hearing from the managers in that department and they were suitably confused, because they also showed that it happened, but couldn't find it anywhere. So I resubmitted and also emailed my potential future manager a copy of it, and it worked.

Seaman Skoopy: Petty Officer Quid, what are you going to do if Hillary becomes president?
Quid: Well Skoopy, if she becomes president, I think I'll continue to not talk politics at work.
Seaman Skoopy: I... that's a good idea.
Here's a silly thing: Sending overnight fedex packages to an address up the street from here, that I could literally walk to and deliver in like fifteen minutes.
I understand they want the tracking and official confirmation of delivery, but still.
I want it noted for the record that the heat and humidity in downtown Houston in late June can be likened unto The Devil's Taint. Don't ask me how I know, just be aware that I don't talk about all my ex-girlfriends.

I have heard Houston described as the armpit of Texas. Fortunately I don't think I've ever had occasion to be there any time other than late Fall.

Spring is nice. And the armpit is actually further towards Louisiana, roundabouts Beaumont and Orange. I really can't get back to Dallas soon enough.

It's amazing how showing the tracking of a delivered package will shut down a customer yelling about a "lost" shipment. Especially when said customer was the one specifically to sign for it.

We have a paralegal here who refuses to sign when we deliver packages to her. Her reasoning is "You already input it into your system, why do I have to sign for it?"
We've tried to explain that by getting *her* to sign for it it means *she* received it, so we aren't liable if it goes missing. You'd think a paralegal would understand that sort of thing, plus it takes, like, three seconds to sign for something, but even then...

She's selling paperclips and legal notepads on the black market today; tomorrow it'll be computers.

Eh I don't think she's trying to do anything sneaky, I think she literally refuses to sign because she doesn't think it's neccessary?

There's a lot wrong with my current job, but the days where my bosses are playing Calvinball and dump on me because I don't know the new rules they just made up on the spot is a bit frustrating <said with tremendous restraint>

Well cool, got a phone call with the CEO of a company I applied to next week. The person setting up the interview, who interviewed me the first time, seemed pretty excited for it.

It's a Monday-ass Tuesday so far.
but when they ask you to upload a resume, cover letter and portfolio
and the uploader only accepts .doc files
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

How in the fuck are you supposed to upload a portfolio in .doc format? Did you just link them to your website?
You know how some people think the only way to send you screenshots in an email is to insert them into a Word document and attach it?
