I'm having a tough day dudes. I lost an account today that I've been busting my rear end on for months, and they basically pointed at me as the reason we were losing it. Internally everyone knows it's not me, or at least not all me - it's just operationally we suck and our customer service department is less than great but I've never had an account point a finger at me and say "you're the reason we're leaving, you didn't do a good enough job". I take a lot of pride in my work and work my rear end off for my clients. loving sucks.

Plus, if everyone knows it wasn't you, you're gonna look like a rock star for not letting it effect you. Affect you? I dunno, I should learn the difference.

Don’t worry too much about it, and definitely don’t let it effect your other work product

At one of my first major jobs, we got an account where the client asked us to go through a fuckton of hoops, to the point where we had to internally change our IT systems to comply. One employee (who in the previous month won employee of the month) completely hosed up on one of their projects (he lied about what was on his reports), and while we came forward and were transparent about what happened and gave them a refund for that project, the damage had been done. Some clients are dicks, and will blow you off for things that aren't in your control.

You'll learn from it and do what you can, but it probably won't be the last time a client pulls this poo poo so enjoy that you had a presumed long run before it finally happened.

Almost everything without exception is obsolete or grey market. They want 5 year pricing tiers without giving us a forecast or guarantee to order.

Joey I’ve been riding a high from crushing it the past month and handling so many last second things only to get completely blasted because i didn’t follow ONE redundant policy, which is now all people think about, so i feel you about it. Sadly it’s the joy of working for others. Opinion matters.

Effect is to make something happen, making it (e)nd, "Effect change," etc. Affect is to influence something, (a)dd on, but it won't create an outcome. So affect. The Language Bore has logged on.

Amy Pole Her posted:This is how i was taught it and boy howdy was it wrong as I’ve learned. Effect is used as a verb very rarely, so it's one of those cheap schooling tricks like "i before e except after c" and poo poo like that. What fucks me up is lay and lie in past tenses and which to use and blah blah blah, I can never get it right.

I take a lot of pride in my work and work my rear end off for my clients. My advice might make me seem like a bit of an rear end in a top hat, but its the only thing that helped me get over this kind of stuff quickly. Take 15/20 minutes and write down everything and anything you could have done better or improved upon in your dealings with the account. Did you lose focus at a time when greater attention to detail was warranted? Did you fail to follow something through when another dept was supposed to take over and ensure they did their job (even if its not in your job description)? Stuff like that - you don't need to show it to anyone or let it go beyond the page. Once you're done write a line or two about how you could have done better, then screw up the paper and throw it in the bin. If you can find anywhere you hosed up, even just a little - it can help, at least I find, by giving you something to pay greater attention to in the future. I find that if I can find somewhere I contributed to something falling down and find a way to minimise the chances of it happening in the future rather than it playing on my mind I find it a lot easier to move on. The other benefit it gives is that if it's ever brought up at a performance review you can talk honestly that you re-assessed your processes and found room for improvement (I have since implemented strategies blah blah blah) that management types get their dicks hard for. It certainly comes off better than if all you have to say is "but they didn't do X". The process of writing it down and throwing the paper out is a good mental exercise for compartmentalizing which can be really helpful for poo poo that causes you to lie awake at night about. Knowing you've done all you can to deal with what happened and with what you'll do in the future is a pretty powerful thing. or I dunno - get shitfaced and don't sweat it. Also for blowers buy Stihl their products are loving amazing. You might spend a little more but god is it worth it. Speaking of which I pulled the trigger on buying a fancy gaming chair. I got a bonus at work that was way bigger than I expected and my company let me expense it (since it's technically office equipment) and took it out of my pre-tax income saving me a big hit from the tax man. I bought from a local manufacturer - cost a little more than some of the ones built over seas but I'd rather spend my money locally and support small business. Holy poo poo is it worth it. This thing weighs like 26kg (58ish lbs) and was a oval office to put together but the lumbar support is truly outstanding. It's firm and rigid but still comfortable, like a hug from a well muscled kindly man.

I mean there were ways around that anyway if you knew what you were doing and I've appreciated it more with other foods more than steak, but it's now impossible to gently caress up.

You know poo poo is about to get real when the suggested recipe includes "Step 2: Turn on your vents and open your windows" The key to a good sear on a sous vide steak is patting it dry before searing. Don't skip or half as this step. I think you said you got a torch, but if you go skillet route, get it smoking hot, with putting it in an oven at 500 degrees for half an hour being the best way.

I think you said you got a torch, but if you go skillet route, get it smoking hot, with putting it in an oven at 500 degrees for half an hour being the best way. This is good advice. I've also found if you sous vide a bunch at once the ones that come out of the fridge and get seared are a little better because the inside is just warm by the time the outside sears.
