I'm dealing with a perfect storm of lovely ERP software and draconian change request processes, my productivity this morning totally shot to poo poo and I want to go break some poo poo while screaming at the void.

As a government employee I can be 100% certain there will be no gifts, no alcohol, no party, and a sweet 3% raise. It's nice to have some stability i guess.

Why is it somehow acceptable to be the go-to person for a particular client but know nothing about them, and then when you're asked you have a guess instead of checking. I'm not a "fire everybody!" type of guy since I am lazy as gently caress quite a lot, but if you have a reputation as needing somebody to follow you around and double-check everything you do and every statement you make then you should be out of a job so somebody else can have a go.

Anyway, whatever he eats at lunch is so spicy that I choke from 10m away. How the hell can people stand such things, much less eat them, is beyond me.

Spicy food owns - we'll sometimes go and get a kebab at lunchtime and get a bowl of chillies as well and munch on them, but don't eat it in the office and chew some gum or brush your teeth when you're done.

Sadly, that is most spicy american food I have experienced.

Hey I had a 6 month span where I thought I had developed an allergy to capsicum. Saw an allergist and everything. Hives, extreme lethargy, rashes, the worst. Then I found out my water softener had been broken for some time and our town has extremely hard water since it's river-fed. Fixed the water softener and holy poo poo, it all cleared up. Spicy food whenever I want again! Check your water hardness and maybe you can enjoy spicy poo poo again too!

Generally the spicy poo poo is what people don’t enjoy about spicy food.

Yeah, this. I grew up eating basically no spicy food, my father has stomach issues and so we just never had it. Once I went off to college it took me a few years of training my body, while slowly increasing spiciness, so I could enjoy it and not pay for it 30 minutes to 12 hours later. Hot spicy poo poo just for the sake of it (ghost peppers)? No loving thanks, I want to be able to taste things and feel my face afterwards.

I used to hate anything spicy, but asian food taught me that it was the oily kinds of peppers I can't stand, like jalapenos. Turns out that when the spice doesn't overwhelm everything else, it can add quite a bit to the flavor of the food!

I am one of those people who can handle food as spicy as you can give it, and I still don't understand why spicy for the sake of spicy exists. Wow, you ate a ghost pepper, guess you're a real man.

Wow, you ate a ghost pepper, guess you're a real man. I have my limits, but you hit the nail on the head. My step brother had to eat at least one jalapeno every day(like straight, pull out of the jar and eat it) while he was growing up, and he had no taste for anything with actual subtlety to the flavor for years.

spicy food consumption is correlated(*admittedly in an idiopathic manner) with increased lifespan, and ghost pepper isn't king of the peppers any more, but they are fruity.

I've gotten all that, except the annual raise has been 1-2% for like five years. (But yes the stability and laid back environment is definitely worth a lot)

Fun fact, Microsoft doesn't port their skype for business numbers internally to one tenant to another in a structured fashion like they do with 3rd party carriers. All you have to do is email ptn@microsoft.com . The problem is that I put in a request to port numbers this Saturday and they instead ported all the numbers right now. 2k of them in all!  I am sure when they fix the port, my team and I will have to reassign all 2k of the numbers manually.
