Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Maybe just try washing your hands before you suck your thumb. :w00t: I needed that right about now. Back to the grindstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Update to my own issue: The engineer tells me that the test setup isn't done the way it needs to be and I need to redo the cert. They never told me how they wanted it, so I followed what documentation I could find, but its not quite right and we're starting over. FUN. I'm making him stay on the line and make sure everything is correct, then run the tests he needs to see so I can do all of it on my own next week and not have to worry about it. The guy I'm working with is a nice guy, but this company never seems to have its ###### together, and its wearing on me.

Sabel79 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Training a new hire at work for the past few weeks. Instructing attorneys on the proper way to do anything makes cat herding look like a worthwhile endeavor at the best of times. Then I get this today after the 95th screw up of the morning: "Man, maybe I should be taking my ADD medication after all." I have another one waiting for me when I get done with this one. No word on any meds involved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) The Butcher has passed away. I'm showing my age, but I remember those games in the 80's at the Rockpile fondly. edit: From the comments on my Facebook page he was running the skate sharpening operation at a local (Lancaster/Depew) rink.

darksabre Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 It's the rule rather than the exception. They make money in spite of themselves. It's maddening. I always enjoy when the owner of said business makes sure his success is obvious by driving fancy cars and having a big house, but he can't be bothered to make his business run better in order to do things like pay his employees better. Just throwing money away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDart Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) My Buffalo people driving 5 mph under the speed limit, seems everyone is stuck in winter driving mode; then flip me off, or beep as I drive by doing 65. If you ever have flipped off a guy in a Black GMC and he opens the rear window, waves, and blows kisses at you. Yup, that was me. Shopping with my wife since 11am. This is awful. Just ###### awful. This is the reason I wear clothes from 2003. Anything new that I own was bought online. This is the reason children are always missing at the mall. They aren't lost, they ###### run away! No end in sight. I don't give a ###### if anyone is judging me for sitting on the floor. Put some chairs in here! No end in sight. That is the reason none of my clothes fit. I run in grab the size I was last year, get home to find out it doesn't fit. Then it goes into the closet with the rest of my clothes with the tags still on them.. My wife works from home which is great, sort of. She's....ALWAYS...HOME... There is no escape, no sanctuary, no respite. The warden's eye is always cast upon me.... Take back your castle.

biodork Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Work is getting super awkward. The chick from last week is still all over my direct supervisor and doesn't trust him, and while I definitely disapprove of her actions having been on the other side of it, I also can't blame her in some ways for her feelings towards him, because he's had almost a year to get this operation off the ground and has seemed to waste time and money without having accomplished much. So far she's happy with me and I appreciate that I'm being given more work because she's delegating directly to us rather than me being out of the loop and having to wait for him to hand off work (which he's far too slow to do), but it leaves me in the uncomfortable position of feeling like I'm playing both sides to keep her happy and get things done without unintentionally giving her more ammo to make his life miserable. Blargh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 DirecTV I'll not complain about the outrageous cost... Sunday night, CBS, every fall.. CBS regular programming is always running later because of the football games. So their lineup gets shifted to weird start times. How is it possible, in 2016, that DTV can't figure out that Madam Secretary is not on at 0900, but will start at 9:46 and record at the proper time? There must be some information that the network provides along with the stream that says when a program is starting... After all, they don't seem to have an issue getting local commercials in. Every week, my recording misses the last 10-15m of the show, you know, the unimportant part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(snicker) Just adjust the recording option in the series setup to record for an extra 30 minutes (an hour if you're really worried about the last 2 minutes) & you'll be good to go. Either reset it in February or just ignore those extra 30 afterwards after football is done. Madame Secretary. Good one. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
