I love those instructions. Pour about the amount of milk you're going to use. Don't pour the exact amount you're using, just about the amount.

TheAgent posted:the current HR manager at Wilmslow was a barista/waitress in 2014 They started the year with a hundred (100) positions to fill (Edit: In *January*) after the Calders windfall, and one of the things that I pointed out is that it's really quite hard to fill positions, especially if the industry is becoming aware of you. They've filled 27. Now I'm not suggesting that it's entirely static, but managing to hit 27% of your target is pleasingly in-character.

So, they can't get much progress done because they are spending all day making their morning coffee? I mean, boil water, throw two spoons of coffee into mug (clean or dirty it doesn't matter, it's coffee ffs), add boiling water, stir add sugar/milk, done, enjoy your caffine fix and follow up turd.  Starbucks and that other lovely liquid poop shop have ruined productivity in the workplace.

I remember when my cousin got SimCity 2000 and it was on multiple 3.5" disks. Installation took seemingly forever but the installation screens had so much text based info about city planning and SimCity mechanics it was still exciting.

Anyone ever see that Conan episode where Conan is giving Jordan Schlansky poo poo for his stupid espresso machine he bought, put near his office, printed instructions, and then kept the espresso machine language on Italian? It's hilarious and this is that.
