My morning begins with chinar experience. First Shanghai colleague removes all common feeder routings from the system, I ask him to open them as those are the only service from Helsinki to Rotterdam, so he opens them and berates me for asking to open existing routes. Then he denies to open routing via antwerp, telling us that is not allowed, I send him an email with approval for transhipment from his superior, resulting in silence and nothing being done. Im also responsible for EDI development and requested Shanghai HQ to set up EDIFACT connection with our biggest client. It shouldve been direct connection as requested, instead they created it via 3rd party service provider which does not send the messages to customers system it seems, lmao. But at least they are checking now if the customer is able to see them. Also one of our large ocean vessels drove 14 knots speed into a sand bank, got stuck and is now delayed for repairs lmao

LentThem posted:now lets talk about being aware of your surroundings for a little I can't count the number of these things that I saw hitting, or going over a curb and sending the passengers flying. Best was a guy that had a 6' stack of Styrofoam strapped to the back and he came off a curb, lost control, and rolled it. Every styrofoam container exploded in a shower of little cunks when a cab clipped his overturned scooter. He was apparently ok, but I'm sure him and the cabbie are still standing on the side of the street screaming at each other.

As soon as I saw what was happening I waited for the inevitable "oblivious person on a scooter" to drive into it. Link did not disappoint.
