The real carnival ride was the friends we didn't lose (in carnival rides) along the way.

I went to the Cherry Festival a couple years ago and Vanilla Ice was performing. So they aren't normally good at preventing disasters.

Mimesweeper posted:you can take copper to any nearby scrap/recycling place and make some good money, even more if you spend some time and separate it from all the not-copper. Tech companies are THE WORST about this. I was dating an HR person at some techie startup bullshit company in silicon valley for a bit and their company bought monitors that their laptops couldn't hook up to due to a lack of the right port or whatever. Instead of buying, you know, adapters, they just bought everyone new monitors again. HR-Partner has the keys to the storage units and I got myself a brand new 4k widescreen monitor with the USB hub and everything, loving rules. Someone else I know lives in a mansion with like, 10 or so other people. His room is a living room with walls made out of big lego-type bricks and lovely little plastic door. Their laundry machine was broken and all the techies scrambled to buy a new one instead of checking to see if it could be fixed (turns out a sock got behind the rubber gasket thing or something). The waste of the tech industry is all encompassing and nothing matters; excellent place to scam a company out of money or belongings.

Sure the new monitors are nice, but we already had a fully stocked office. When asked what are we to do with the old ones? recycle bin I literally can't give them away fast enough.

But the general trend in the past decades has been the opposite, eg. hospitals getting rid of secretaries so doctors spend their precious time doing basic paper work instead of helping patients.

Full Time Nanny seemed like the job of my HR-Partner; their main task each week was ordering lunch for everyone so they didn't have to leave the building to find something to eat and the company could offer that as a perk instead of actually paying people more to buy lunch themselves. I think its pretty common, as a ton of the restaurants nearby seem to primarily catering to entire companies for the lunches as a their source of income, with walk-in customers an after thought. Needless to say, once COVID hit and all the techies fled the area, a ton of them closed down. Death to Tech. Digital technology was a mistake. let us all return to analog and the warm glow of the vacuum tube.

I mean, restaurants in businesses centers open only during lunch Mon-Fri has been a common thing for forever. When you're in a place that turns to a ghost town after 5 pm, there are no locals to stay open for afterwards.

I've started to go back to the office, and got a new office out of the deal, but have to figure out how to deal with the crap computer and monitors in there. Over a year of working from home with actually competent equipment has made it hard to accept the utter poo poo tech setup in my actual physical office. Part of me is considering sneakily cloning the HDD in the desktop to a spare SSD of my own, which might be enough to make the machine workable. I don't think I have any spare DDR4 laying around, but I should double-check the machine because I do have spare DDR3 on hand. There are other monitors in the building, so I may see if I can just swap those out with or without permission.

Don't mess with hardware in the office without talking to IT first, especially if you're doing poo poo like cloning hard drives. That's grounds for termination and a lawsuit depending on your industry.

The only way I ever get 'new' hardware at work is to be the first one in the day after someone retires and being the first to loot the office for anything good. Also how I get new tools in my toolbox.

When I was working in LTL we had a wooden spool come in that had 9 or 10 cases of DeWalt hammer drills rattling around inside it. We checked the serial numbers and contacted the overgoods department with them and their reply was: "Those went missing in Illinois, the claim has already been paid out, make sure they don't show up on eBay"

I work in tech position at a non tech company and the rule from my boss is “if we haven’t used it in a year get rid of it.” After a year of no meetings and going remote I have a dragons hoard of tech that slowly works it’s way home with me or coworkers. Absolutely astounding what counts as waste in industry.
