:same: I don't think I can work any desk job effectively because if given the chance I'll just spend all of my time on SA/YouTube/whatever. But in two years of working here they still aren't aware of just how little work I actually do so I guess I'm effective enough.

Same. I do like maybe a a days worth of actual work a week now.

plus my department has been in turmoil since we got an interim director that was forced into the situation and doesn't want to be there. She basically told us at our first staff meeting that she is a lame duck and will do her best to support us until a permanent director is hired.

A permanent director was supposed to be hired about 6 months ago lmao.

I love how corporate managers from big companies like Microsoft have convinced tech workers that agile is a good thing and everyone is doing it now

nothing like having your workers volunteer for a micromanagement system that will instantly tell you who's not "performing"

On the chest of a barmaid in Sale, were tattooed the prices of ale. And on her behind for the sake of the blind, was the same information in braille.

when i was 19 i interviewed at a chilis restaurant and they gave me a job in the kitchen 5 minutes in because i was able to explain the difference between a franchies and a corporate chain restaurant. like the manager was legit suprised i guess this was a difficult question for a lot of people

then a bunch of hurricanes hit the area, this was polk county florida, before i even showed up for my first day and i moved to the west coast and will never return to florida again

The funniest part is that, with kiosks, it's going to be A LOT easier to get free poo poo. Either directly by hacking the machines, or by social engineering because the only response they are going to have to "I pressed the combo button but it didn't register it correctly" is to just give you that combo or whatever. Combine that with the fact that any refunds/reprocessing of orders is almost certainly going to have to be done by the manager with the office computer and the cost:benefit of just giving you poo poo to go away is even more skewed in the consumer-thief's favor

Stock is apparently a problem too, they don't really have any recourse when customer orders out-of-stock items at kiosks. This can persist for days.

haha, that's a refund and an angry customer, potentially dozens in a row until somebody comes back with borrowed stock from another store

yes i lived in winter haven briefly, it was a poo poo hole and i hated it. my family moved down there and pulled me out of college to start a business that never took off, which was ironic as it was it was going to be a flight school

i spent a month in an old folks pre-fab community and it sucked. there were four models of homes and it wasnt uncommon to see two exact copies of the same home next to each other. the only difference being the poo poo they owned inside it. one time my mother tricked me into playing bingo, alone, with the olds and it was no different from being the unpopular kid at high school lunch.

also when i applied to a community college there the entrance exam guy just took me into his office, looked at my transcript from a chicago university, and spent like 10 minutes telling me how loving stupid all of the students at his community college were and that id breeze through it no problem
