SwampD Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Work gave me yesterday and today off. That means five days off,… in a row. I don't think I have had 5 days off with nothing to do in, well,… ever. Two days in and I can't believe how much I have done and how little I've accomplished.

LabattBlue Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The WNY weather is terrible this week. Cold, windy and then...snow last night, and as of right now, it still hasn’t melted. This quarantine will be so much easier once the weather starts warming up...hopefully next week we get back to around average temps. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Here's a very minor item that has nevertheless annoyed me for about 6 years: my coffeemaker, which is a $30 Mr. Coffee model, makes good coffee but the carafe has a cheapo plastic collar that is poorly designed such that when pouring water or coffee, it leaks literally every single time. In addition, the carafe itself is made of cheap, flimsy glass -- and it broke last night when I put it in the sink. I can get an exact replacement from amazon in 1 week, or a universal replacement carafe that doesn't have the plastic collar and looks like it won't leak -- but that one will take 3 weeks. Or I can get a new coffeemaker for anywhere between $25 and $200, but that seems wasteful. First world problems, to be sure, but I'm working at home for the foreseeable future and I need (and enjoy) coffee in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this happen and in my experience you can typically sub carafes from one Mr Coffee into another Mr. Coffee if you do some digging to see what replacement carafes fit what machines. Then what I do is order the replacement carafe for the old machine AND a new Mr Coffee that fits the replacement carafe. That way you have a new carafe for your existing Mr Coffee, and when that machine inevitably dies, you'll already have a replacement carafe on hand for the new Mr Coffee when its carafe inevitably breaks. Then you just keep the cycle going until your children have to handle your estate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day it's pushing the point where I need to turn on the AC, then the next it's down to where I probably need to turn the heat on. That machine is going to hate me if I cave and do bounce back and forth between the two settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need reminding that I’m speeding. I know I’m speeding, I’m the one ***** driving! I thought those were to see if you got the high score! So, we're "restructuring" right now. I hate this period. We have these levels of executive approval on processes but during these times they are never available. They don't understand why work slows down. Then they take forever to implement them and basically waste 3-4 weeks worth of work time by either undoing or not responding to the checkpoints they put in place. My major project is in this restructuring.. so at the moment I am also hoping that I am still around after they are done figuring things out. I'm almost assuredly losing the project (being taken from our whole business unit). I have other projects.. but... you never know. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 This could go in many threads, but I chose this one because it is Thursday. Those slimy Pats. Check out what they show on the video feed directly behind the goalposts when the opponent attempts a field goal (top pic), and what they show when they are attempting a field goal (bottom pic). Notice the skewed visual for the opponent. Illegal, no, slimy YES. The Pats culture of SLIME. It permeates everything they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
