I got a guy in big trouble because I did his job in 30 minutes when he claimed it took 3 hours, forcing our programmers to have to wait to start major jobs while he was goofing off. Yeah, turned out he just didn’t feel like doing his job for the first couple hours. I didn’t know that. He assumed, when he was going on vacation, that since I didn’t know his job, I’d take longer. So did I, so I went in really early so no one would have to wait longer. Ridiculously simple job. I didn’t mean to expose him at all. He was livid
Yeah we all killed ourselves overachieving during covid, cos we had customers in need, a year later boss is saying why can’t we just keep doing that? I worked 7 days a week and probably permanently burned myself out, why can’t i keep doing that, my arse.
This story is bizarre. 1. why would bf's father be on the deed? What does he bring to the house beside the 20k? You got a first time home buyer's loan. You can only do this once, so it's half yours. Do let your bf or your bf's father put bf's father on the deed. Do not sign any papers. Do not believe them when they lie. 2. WTF is wrong with bf's father and his fucking peach tree? 3. WTF is wrong with your bf? He sounds like a loser extraordinaire. He's way too interested in what his dad thinks and way too worried about not being good enough for you (which he isn't by the way).
This is the answer. But also…get a fun one. When my water boils there’s a beautiful blue light inside that makes the water look beautiful. I never walk away now.
Theres a multi coloured led one at my local dept store. It changes colour according to the temp of the water!! Red for boiling blue for cool. Orange and whatever in between. I’m super tempted even tho i have a perfectly fine kettle.
Electric kettle. Every damn time. And yes i constantly forget, but its no big deal. Everyone should have one and i was surprised they are apparently not in every home in america?
A girl was shocked when i wanted her to actually give a shit after she backed into my parked car when attempting to park in a 30ft parking space. Shocked that i wasn’t like, no worries sweetie. Her car was covered in dents like she touch parked as a way of life.
Wondering into other lanes, almost side swiping others, completely unaware and then aggressive when you honk. Monday mornings are the worst. Wake up you fucken idiots.
She is a weirdo. And rude. Next time have a condition ready, in case. Something long and difficult to pronounce. And say, “but i don’t like to discuss it cos people start crying.”
I can't see how at a tech company this works long term. New people take at minimum 6 months to get up to speed, longer the more chaos there is in an env.
But you see this is how management works. Short term gains cos they are on short term contract. One day businesses may realise they are all being driven into the ground by short term arseholes. But since its management all the way down (or up) its taking a Really long time for anyone to give a shit.
Yeah i got diagnosed with reflux recently. Now on a variety of meds and its helped me do a lot more exercise but mainly i eat a fair bit differently now. Nothin after dinner, eat less, slower. I can breathe better and don’t get chest pains when i go for a walk. Diet improved. All good but i have not lost a gramme of my overweight haha.
eyedrop liquid can easily be used (and has been) a murder weapon. in no way condoning the guys AH actions, but that could have easily been way worse that what happened.
I paid for comp my first year of car ownership, i was a bit dense. The next 30 i’ve stuck with TPP. I buy cars i can walk away from and i guess i’ve saved a fair bit.
Yes. And it sorta makes sense if u remember we change all our cells every seven years (or whatever time i’m not real sure). But really its life stages. You learn more and it changes you.
Did the price of your take away go up? Lots around me have gone up significantly. I understand why, it’s the cost of doing business these days. BUT, it’s reached a point where I am like “I refuse to pay that much for take away food”.
As a consumer i cannot face paying 9.50 for a bagel or choc croissant. Even the bog standard stodgy muffins are 7.50. I’ll still buy a coffee as a treat occasionally but skip the cake on the side.
My home is dark and my eyes are old. I love that i can read anywhere without needing to search out a light source and i can be anywhere even walking around and still be easily able to read.
I’d read more books, same ones over and over, even. Like i did before the internet. (Gen x here). Also draw, make things, visit friends more, go for walks, garden. Sounds like friggin paradise haha.
Friend at work was warned about monday and friday absences and how it looked like it must be drinking related. They were mortified that their migraines were giving this impression. Then checked, and they mostly had wednesdays off when sick. Boss was a lying psychopath arsehole.
I rearrange the cupboard at work when i’m bored. Its a mess of cables and stuff thats always changing. New hire the other day asked for more work and then was like argh i got this really boring work now! I said just reorg the cupboard and tidy the room ffs

Dumbass should have said something before he went on holidays.
Yeah any time management find success with a skeleton crew, they uphold the expectations of a full team.

You could maybe use the eggs to bake cakes? I am in australia we have a different egg care regime but i use eggs months out of date to bake with.

I would assume more that the son is being constantly lied to and gaslighted about everything by his dad. Probably had been his whole life.

Well its true that they don’t know how to handle it honestly
Brand new car, less than a month old. Less than 2000kms on the Odometer.
A girl was shocked when i wanted her to actually give a shit after she backed into my parked car when attempting to park in a 30ft parking space. Shocked that i wasn’t like, no worries sweetie. Her car was covered in dents like she touch parked as a way of life.

The big fat SUVs where the driver has no fucken idea they are over into another lane on the left. Big mercs are the stupidest aholes on the road.

That is very sad :(

Thats fucking awesome! Thank u
eyedrop liquid can easily be used (and has been) a murder weapon. in no way condoning the guys AH actions, but that could have easily been way worse that what happened.
Agatha Christie used it as a murder weapon in one or two novels
A less drastic option would be a Japanese style futon. When you aren't sleeping on it, it can just be folded up and put away.
Or a sofa bed. Leave it as a sofa unless you decide to have a bed.
And he literally told fleeing Twitter (Xitter?) advertisers that.
Shitter
I wonder how many people have stopped using Star Link for the same reason - they don't want to give even one dollar to Elon.
Totally- i would have got a starlink except I’d rather bang rocks together than pay him for internet.
I paid for comp my first year of car ownership, i was a bit dense. The next 30 i’ve stuck with TPP. I buy cars i can walk away from and i guess i’ve saved a fair bit.
Same but tollways

Same! Didn’t realize personally liking something would upset folks but it is reddit I suppose
Ah no we are here to argue :)
What are they gonna do on sunday, give it all back?
My home is dark and my eyes are old. I love that i can read anywhere without needing to search out a light source and i can be anywhere even walking around and still be easily able to read.

LOL NO

Nothing would be the perfect answer.
