My legal name has two surname separated by a space not a hyphen. I was told by my state DMV that I had to have a hyphen in my last name for nearly a decade because their system didn't support two last names.

Fun fact: In Denmark you can only have one last name. All the other names are (legally) first names.

Same thing in Norway.

I read an article the other day about the possibility of integrating the Scandinavian countries systems for SSN / "personnummer", since it's apparently a huge pain in the rear end to deal with people moving between countries for work etc.

To give a little context to people not from the socialist hellholes in the far north: There's been agreements in place predating EU/EEC to make sure citizens of Scandinavian countries can travel and work in other Scandinavian countries with very little red tape compared to most other places. However, there's a twist. If you leave Norway to work on Iceland for a year or more, the Norwegian govt can de-activate your Norwegian SSN and you have to jump through some hoops to get it fixed when you come back from the island of farts^W^W^W^W Iceland.

Sounds fun. Handy canned replies for 95% of your calls! "Due to an unforeseen conflict, software deploys are temporarily halted."
"Due to a connection error, you can't VPN." "We have no current ETA for a fix, but everyone available is working on correcting the issues."

Then drink. A lot. 80 proof or better.

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

Not pissing me off:

MY GIRLFRIEND who works in our accounting department, got a new job and is leaving the company. A month ago she told them she was fed up and wanted more money, they gave her a 50 cent raise and "couldn't do any more than that", and then after she put her notice in they offered her $3/hr more, but that was still short of what she'll make at her new job and gently caress this place anyway.

How does that relate to me? They think I'm going to leave now so I got like a 8% raise. Still going to look for another job but hey it's free :10bux:

Oh hey, thanks for letting me know that you're changing our DHCP server, but you're not going to do it right and you're going to put in some random loving device that is also doling out bad ip addresses like loving candy.

Also thanks for not being in the day after you do it, you loving twats. Really appreciated having to trace that with half the office breathing down my back because only half the office was being given addresses in the right range.

This was a few years ago, but IIRC our dev was a spanish speaker, and I think he checked the words against a Spanish wordless of inappropriate words instead of english. Also "broomrape" is a type of flower, so technically it's an ok word.

Before I have recounted how at my office I'll go into the bathroom and find something very unpleasant (poop right on the loving seat ). The last several weeks I've noticed snot rockets accumulating on all the surfaces of the bathroom. Today I walked past an employee who smelled as if they hadn't showered in a week! I feel like I'm not just the only person that actually knows how to read but I'm also the only person that understands basic hygiene! Is my experience unique or is this common in the corporate world?
