I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.

These are ok, but a few years ago they had a different kind of lemon cookie that was a sandwich-style with lemon icing on the inside and it was sooo much better.

Protip: hold in your morning poops til you get to work and you can waste 10 minutes, nobody gets any work done between 9-9:30AM anyway

My new coworker eats lunch at the exact same time I do and I'm so used to having the break room to myself when I eat that it feels awkward having someone else around.

I once read this feminist thing about how women are socially trained to always apologize for their own existence, basically. I just thought, good, that's halfway to everyone doing that.

ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


My wife told me she was going to take tomorrow off from work, so I wanted to surprise her and take our 3 year old to the water-park where you can slide down the inside of a 747, but they are not open on Wednesdays. I wasted 20 minutes on their website trying to figure out their stupid schedule.

I helped out another department with getting a bunch of computers purchased and set up.

Unfortunately my POC was the department head and he didn't know anything.
More times than I could count he said, "Just tell me what to buy and I will. I don't know what any of this means."

I just asked what types of things they do with their computers.

It was so bad that I had to walk with him to the Microsoft store to pick up copies of Windows because he didn't trust any other method AND didn't know what to get.

I ran for a VP spot in my union thinking the person currently in that position would run for president now that the spot opened up, but she didn't and now I feel bad running against her because she's done a really good job as long as I've been a member.

if you bitch at them they'll at least refund you the shipping. First time I complained they gave me an extra month of Prime, but considering same/next day shipping is usually free, it's really not a gigantic issue, and I don't want to risk getting my account flagged for filing too many complaints/getting too many freebies.

It's really not even their fault, Lasership delivers our BlueApron too and they loving suck in general

Lol, you're not going to get anywhere in this life with that attitude.

Life is stupid and you get what you get, if you're promoted it's because you did something right.

It actually seems like a pretty healthy attitude to have if you're going into business on your own IMO, but yeah, diligence is discouraged in most corporate environments, it's pretty brutally soul-crushing sometimes

There's an official form I need to fill in and they emailed me the pdf of it. The form requires a signature which you can do in the pdf, BUT I write with my left hand and use a mouse with my right hand. I can't do my signature using the mouse in my right hand and I can't use my mouse in my left. So I can't sign it digitally.
So now I have to forward the form to my partner who can print it out at work, fill it in by hand then take it to the post office, buy an envelope and stamp and post the drat thing. Ugh!

Yeah Amazon is usually pretty good about it, this is like the first time it's ever happened. Mind you, it's also the first time I ever sprang for next-day shipping instead of just using the free Prime Two-Day, so :shepface:

I probably won't make any complaints about it this time, but if it happens again I will be. It was only like five bucks more in this instance, anyway.

They're a multibillion dollar corporation, you won't hurt their feelings by complaining about a service they did not deliver(:grin:) on. They'll probably credit your account and/or extend your Prime membership by a month. Complain.

Yeah but there's this nebulous, unofficial complaint limit thing and people have gotten their Prime memberships refunded/revoked over it, apparently.

You won't hurt their feelings by complaining but there's also no amount of money that you could spend with them that would prevent them from giving you the boot the second you become more of a hassle than it's worth.

Yea, the only time I have seen people bitch about being cut off or banned or whatever from amazon is when they REALLY go above and beyond in complaints in an obvious effort to just steal the service basically.

There was a lady who got banned after she bought and returned like 50 or 100 ebooks over a month or two I think. Stuff like that, yea they are gonna realize you are a problem customer and you are costing them money. Just bitching cause they hosed up somehow? That's just business, go complain.

My least favourite warehousing company are DPD because I once worked for an IT Tech Support line that needed to call their warehouse to check delivery times of repaired computers and they had a bad habit of picking up the phone and dropping it again to stop it ringing instead of actually doing their loving job. Every time I see one of those trucks on the street I just get really annoyed now, and I haven't worked there in 6 years..

There's a deli around the corner from my job that sells individual Fage yogurt cups. The spoons that they give you at the bodega are ever-so-slightly too wide to get all the way into the fruit compartment, and our office breakroom has run out of spoons, so I was only able to eat about 80% of the fruit that came with my yogurt. :smith:

Oh my gosh. I love Fage yogurt SO MUCH. Albertsons had a weeklong sale with Fage 10/$10, and every day now I have been having it with fresh strawberries. I actually look forward to getting up for breakfast. I have a ton of energy too from all the protein. Hnnnngh FAAAAAGE

My FWP is that it takes 48 goddamn days for the bar exam to be graded. Only 20 days left to go until the capricious and arbitrary grading committee has determined my fate. 20 days of limbo, not knowing if I will be employable as a lawyer or if I will be forced to do interim temp work until July, when I can take the exam AGAIN. Wheeeeee.

I look at it more as if I complain, maybe it stops someone else from having the same problem later. Doesn't take much, just drop em an email and move on with your day.
