What Annoyed You Today? (4 Viewers)

The Windows 11 demo. All fuss about how you can now have rounded corners and the start button in the middle. Nothing about fixing the abysmal updating process and fixing the ridiculous hardware requirements, on the contrary, hardware demand went up again to please the people who want a painting, not an operating system. I couldn't care less about what the OS looks like if it's not working properly.

You are a linux guy no?

Yup, but I still have to work with Windows as well.

Marcel, people are always attracted by trinkets.
Years ago, I gave a co-worker a ride to work in my '79 BMW 320i (E21 with tuned suspension and hi-perf goodies) and it was early enough in the morning that I could spice things up a little.
We get to the shop and the guys asked him what he thought about the ride.

He shrugged his shoulders and said:
"eh...it doesn't have a cup holder..."

Hope it comes sooner!

You are looking at this the wrong way. Your blue chef jacket is covered with a bunch of white. You need more leaky pens.,

I tried that with a new blue t-shirt that got splattered with chlorine for the pool, leaving pink spots. I found a Sharpie marker with a cap almost exactly the same color blue and used that to cover the spots. But it seems that the cap on sharpie markers is not a very good indicator of the ink color, The shirt is what you might call Royal Blue and the marker is what you probably would call Navy blue. But the dark blue spots still look better than the pink ones, so I am calling this a success.

Or Karl, perhaps you should get some fabric dye (here in the U.S., the best brand is by "RIT") and dye it blue!

You forgot to add that, since that time, you haven't spoken to him anymore. )))

Another double-shift due to a slacker on the staff calling in "sick" for the fourth time in three months. They're all, coincidentally I'm sure, at either the front or back of his two-day weekend. Can't wait to start partying, and doesn't know when to stop.

Either way, I'm safety-pinned in the pissed-off position. And corporate won't help with the termination that needs to be done.

Well, he was a co-worker, after all...so I had to talk to him when it was needed.
But rest assured, he never got another ride in my BMW (or 1966 Ford Mustang).

Tell corporate that back to back doubles are a crew rest violation and they'll have to pay your fine.

Texas labor law doesn't have that provision.

I'm still chewing on my response. My inclination is to hit HR up first with the idea that a demoralized crew -- and I'm not the only one who's given Slacker a three-day weekend and angry about it -- is bad for bidness. I've been a manager a long while now, I know the language they should hear. That's my assessment right now, but I'm going to sleep on it before I decide how to approach it.

I've given my boss enough lip-service and it hasn't changed, so I think it's time to climb the chain a step.

Our family owns property in Columbia SC. The city requires us to file paperwork for a rental license. Since that office has a history of losing or throwing away the paperwork and I had to drive the 500 miles to the city anyway for other purposes, I decided to deliver the paperwork and the accompanying check in person.

It was then that I found that the City Govt of Columbia SC IS TILL NOT OPEN! They are still cowering in fear over the Chinese Wuflu!

Been feeling rough and tired for months and finally got to speak to a doctor a week ago. Just got results of the blood tests and I am anemic my Liver function is like an alcoholic plus my kidneys aren't working properly.

More blood tests a scan of my insides and a camera up the backside to look forward to in the next few weeks,

 

[Wurger]

Don't worry. Same here...

PITA! Cheer up, mate. I got the wake-up call 45 years ago, and I'm still kicking. Camera up the backside every two years; routine piece of cake.

They didn't take it seriously enough at the time, and are now paying the price.

I feel your pain, brother. My wife went to the hospital yesterday morning. She has some sort of kidney infection. I'm getting ready to go visit her soon.

Wish her good luck for me, bro!
