Mikl posted:You'd think that after three years the people at that one university would have learned that my generic name.surname@email-provider.com email address is not, in fact, the email address for their employee who has the same name and surname as me, and yet I still have to reply to Very Important Mails (like financial statements, invoices and such) addressed to that person with "you have the wrong address, check it and resend the message" at least twice per week. I'd set up a filter to auto-respond to anything that comes from that uni with a simple "this is the wrong address" and delete the message.

It doesn't work because they apparently don't have their own domain, since the mails I get are from a couple dozen different people (and counting) from Gmail and Hotmail and Yahoo addresses and I know it's them only because the mails are signed "John Doe, whatever department, such and such university". It's not my samenamebuddy's fault either, since their address is probably really close to mine (can't find it via Google though) so it's clearly a problem of the wrong address (mine) being spread at that university via word of mouth.

I have a cold and as a result I'm having trouble sleeping and regulating my body temp. Today's also my weekly breakfast out and I had to cancel it.

Between work and other things, it's 100% impossible to set up a get together with all of my closest friends (6 in total, including myself) where everyone can come, unless I set things up at least a month in advance.

I'm the last person in my office to get sick and my boss thinks I'm faking. He "remembers" me being sick last week even though he was out on vacation. He may be joking but it's impossible to tell with this guy. I haven't taken a sick day in ages. Buuuut I can't stay home because our staffing is so low that the operation needs us to stay just to keep the wheels turning.

Jeff Sichoe posted:If you're sick you're sick, stay at home and use sick leave, right? Yeah. Legally there is nothing they could do but there is a real lovely culture of reporting anyway. Then run people raw and don't seem to understand germ theory. If I called out, my supervisors and managers would give me a rash of poo poo and who knows how much extra work might "happen" to come my way. Edit: It comes from most of my superiors being ex military and think saying, "buck up, bitch" can cure cancer.

I've had a couple bosses who were like that; where unless you literally vomited blood upon them, they didn't believe you were sick.

Choco1980 posted:I got a cpap machine for the first time last weekend, and I swear the drat thing is hindering my sleep ability. Significantly. It's uncomfortable and feels like breathing into a balloon. People always say they take adjusting to, or that they hate them. You would think that would clue people in that the ergonomics need retooling...

They believe you're sick, they just don't care because it'll effect their numbers, so they feign ignorance unless someone above them notices, at which point it's your fault for not calling out.

I was all set to go hit Papa Murphy's for a pizza but apparently sometime this week they closed all their stores in my state (and apparently a lot of others) for some kind of corporate restructuring or something, so what it boils down to is I was all set to have a take and bake pizza and now I don't and I'm annoyed.

The weather forecast sites and phone apps are loving bullshit. All the news people were saying it's going to be 24/7 heavy raining for the next week. It's going to be miserable and make sure you do these steps for safety blah blah blah. And today I wake up and of course it's bright and sunny 60 degrees.

People keep posting about the Sims and now I really want to play it (3, not 4 cause gently caress if gonna pay EA), but installing it is a pain, and I have a ton of mods etc that probably don't work anymore because the game would update to the newest patch, and I don't want to spend hours finding the mods again. Bleh. I just want to kill people via pool or removing doors to a room... one of my best memories was sticking a baby in a door-less, paint-less room and the social worker was just walking around unable to take the kid away. (This is the proper way to play sims if you don't know). Cat is eating my hair.

the sims 4 runs a lot better than 3, but I only have expansions and extra stuff for 3 (no I didn't pay for them lmao) I always spend 3 hours making characters and then building the house, and then I'm burnt out, though.

 MY GIRLFRIEND got mad at me because I went to the bathroom before I hugged her when we got home from eating mexican food. I explained if I'd have hugged her at the moment, I'd have blasted rear end, but that did not deter her from being peeved.

The Snoo posted:the sims 4 runs a lot better than 3, but I only have expansions and extra stuff for 3 (no I didn't pay for them lmao) I got rid of The Sims 3 from my computer so I wouldn't be tempted to spend all day making Sims, moving them into a neighbourhood, getting their house set up exactly how I want it and then immediately losing all interest and doing the exact same thing the next time. When I do actually manage to stay interested in it it is fun though. I like to make sims who are just the worst possible people. Like, one who was having affairs with all his married neighbours. Or one who would go to a neighbour's house, be invited in, eat their food and use their stuff and then go to sleep in their bed and refuse to leave, so they have to sleep on the couch. Or have an adult sim who plays video games all day and lives off the money their teenage child, who also does all the cooking and cleaning, makes for them.

I think I'm just going to invite her to hold my hand while I sit on the toilet and release the kraken. She knows I have IBS, so I dunno why it was a surprised that after tacos I'd need to hit the bathroom, but oh well. My new FWP is I finally got off my rear end and installed a dishwasher that I've owned for like a year now, only to find out that it uses A SPECIAL AND UNIQUE DRAIN HOSE that I had to order and it'll be here in 3 days because gently caress my ability to wash dishes and complete minor goals in life. This also means I have to go to lowe's for a THIRD GOD DAMNED TIME with this poo poo to return the drain hose I bought that don't fit.

We are on vacation in a lovely, sleepy little town, and it's great. Except that the walls of our small hotel are so paper thin that you can hear everything that everyone is doing all the time. Our first night we woke up to the sounds of our neighbours banging, and last night they were blaring the tv so loud I could hear it more clearly then ours. We also seem to be above the restaurant, so we get the sounds of tables being moved and chairs scraping across the floor starting at 7am. For a supposedly relaxing vacation, it is pretty much impossible to sleep in past 8am. Sigh.

I too was not very happy learning about Piers Anthony after reading his books. My high school had almost all of his Xanth novels in their library  I'm gonna go on and guess none of the staff actually read them...
