The Australian Government are hoping that a bunch on Belgian businessmen will try to keep the soon to be closed down Holden factory open, probably in the same way that the British Government hoped that the Phoenix Consortium would keep MG Rover going back in the early 2000 when BMW washed its hands of it:

What a clusterfuck. Do you have bank records showing your payments to them?

Somewhere. Hell I can just go to Blue Cross's website and pull up the payments (and subsidies).

I'm on the phone with them now, they claim there's no way I have 2015's 1095-A and that I must be looking at 2014's, but the letter is dated Jan 16th 2016 and it's under 2015's messages, they're still claiming I'm looking at 2014's even though everything in it is dated 2015 (except for the date it was generated, which was a few days ago). :downsgun: He finally talked to his supe and told me I'll probably be getting 1-2 more by Jan 31st, since I reported a couple of life changes last year.

Costs are just half of it. Before passage of the bill it was absurd what the insurance industry would use as an excuse to not only decline coverage, but also blacklist people from ever obtaining insurance again across the entire industry.

Yup. I'm sure I'm blacklisted from ever buying private insurance on my own (outside of the marketplace) - diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and insurance paid for me to go to rehab last year.

I had a prof that was famously vicious about no ringers on in lecture, and made that very clear at the start of the semester. This was a huge 250 person freshman class.
Some girl's phone went off maybe 10min into class, and he stopped and asked whose it was. He said that person needed to get up and leave.

I had a professor that was even worse - not only did you get kicked out for the day, but you had to meet him in his office before you could return to class. His office hours were 2 days a week for about 2 hours a day. You also lost your attendance grade for the day, which means you automatically lost points on your next exam.

You should have seen how bad he flipped his poo poo when the severe weather warning went off on everyone's cellphones during a tornado warning, I thought he was going to have a stroke. ~400 person class, with about 400 phones all going off at once (including his - the severe weather alert built into most cellphones ignores any mute/quiet settings).

I had another professor who at least tried to make it funny - if someone's phone rang in class, he'd walk up and take the phone away from the student, then answer it himself and tell them he's their instructor, they're in class, shall I pass along a message? :v: That was a much, much smaller class though (probably 30 people).

Flying to az to visit some family. Somehow a swab of my hands came up positive for explosives so I got an extra thorough screening.

Haven't had that test say anything, but I almost always get pulled aside for "random screening" when I fly.

Dropping "oh honey, you're going to have to buy me a few drinks before you go there" when they start feeling inside the waistband of my pants/shorts almost always ends the extra screening in a hurry. :gay:

I have just spent 2 weeks working on a big bid with 4 other people. Trying to use Sharepoint/Onedrive for business to collaborate on the documents. Doesn't loving work properly and I'm and IT guy not a normal user.

Its going to take a while for 'normal' management types to think about adopting proper shared working habits if there are still lovely solutions that don't work well enough for the most IT literate users to use them. Microsoft are now kings of software that always works like it is in beta (see also windows phone 10 which still doesn't work properly after 12 months)

Probably not. I'm mainly venting though, I, and the company, are making more money than we ever have, so we must be doing something right.

Have a feeler out with another company though, and they seem cool as gently caress. Little nerdy department located far away from HQ, populated by PhDs and a 100 core system to run nightly tests on.

We use Sharepoint for vacation/holiday requests and it's a horrible horrible mess which forces us to use a calendar setup which is just awful and doesn't work at all in an intuitive manner. It's also so poo poo we have to basically repeat the request in email form because sometimes the system doesn't forward the requests for approval.

...it's far shitter than the webpage we had for it before which just asked when you wanted to book and your name. Progress!

Oh God, vacation...

How it should be: upon verbal or written approval from relevant managers, you open a web page and punch in your vacay. It tells you how much you've got left, puts it in your calendar, and informs the relevant parties. Other people can look up when and if you're on vacation.

How it is: You have to email you manager, your project leader, HR, payroll, update at least one spreadsheet, update your calendar and out-of-office autoreply thingie and STILL a middle manager will, once summer or Christmas approaches, send out a mass email asking you to fill in his lovely little table so he can later spam that out to everyone to show that he did some managing that week.
