There is a lot of swearing going on in this office right now.

Sometimes I wonder if I swear too much at work, but then I just say "gently caress it", out loud, to nobody in particular.

Job I'm going back to got the brewing license! :toot:

Now we just need to take measurements using a flow meter for each fermentation tank, the hot liquor tank, the mash tun, and the boil kettle, fill that information in for the official forms, submit the paperwork, and wait for approval from the tax office to be able to use these pieces of equipment to brew! Because it's not Japan without mountains of paperwork.

Compared to most of the world, we are but toddlers who just heard someone say, "gently caress!". We are just not as talented at good, solid spontaneous cursing that can creatively cover all time and space for the subject of our ire.

Americans would use maybe both gently caress and poo poo but asssss and piiisss, no.
More of us should be encouraged from a young age to develop creative swears and oaths but we are hampered by a distrust of literacy and hypocritical protestants.

Our work is once more taking a grim turn and I'm probably going to be wearing a mask in the office for at least another year. :sigh:

We need to learn how to curse all proper like, e.g., "De'il ding a divot aff yer wame wi' a flaughter spade."

It's kinda odd that some common swears are just completely off the table in north America, and especially the US, that even saying something like see you next Tuesday is grounds for probation. Like you can't even hint at saying the c word. Meanwhile everywhere else practically greets their granny with it.

I feel quite strongly that if you are submitting only 15 encounters for the month of June, then that data set ought to be loving pristine, not require fixing multiple issues. gently caress's sake.

I can't remember who wrote this (Robertson Davies?) but the gist is: Protestants are more offended by vulgar language and Catholics are more offended by blasphemous language.

I dunno but if you call me a slang term for a vulva, you're gonna fart your veneers. It has zero to do with me being protestant or Catholic (I'm neither) and everything to you with the pejorative usage of "a vulva." Which is typically weaponized against non-men in this country.

It's just me, the big boss, assistant, warehouse manager and shithouse intern next week.

I'm hosed.

Escape From Noise

Just the kind of quality equipment I've come to rely on here.

Escape From Noise

loving recirc, lauter, and sparge is already at almost three hours. I hate this loving system. At least it's only 150 liters today. Fuuuuuuuuuuck thiiiiiiis!

Escape From Noise

I got everything done and could have been out of here after being here for only 9 and 1/2 hours, but I'm going to have to probably stay another hour or so waiting for the beer to cool down because we don't have a proper wort chiller for the smaller system, so the wort in the the tank is too warm to pitch east. I might pictured early, but the other issue is that I can't set the temperature to 20° C right now because if the temperature is set more than 5° lower than the temperature of the tank the glycol system freaks out. So I have to wait for the temperature to drop at least 1.5 more degrees.

Escape From Noise

Working like half an hour late today, but this way I should be done early tomorrow, and then I'll have four more days of work with I guess one brew day to do, but I'm getting my first jab the day after tomorrow so it'll definitely have to be after that. I'm also going to ask for time off because seven days in a row is already ridiculous, it's completely insane when I only have 4 days worth of work to do.

Ass-penny

Work was too busy too late and all the customers ignored the times we told them and called 9 times while we were trying to make food to tell us they are loving idiots who don't know what words mean and I WANT THEM ALL TO DIE.

Except for a brew day I have everything I need to have done completed three days into a seven day work week. gently caress this place.

Lol. My bosses texted my coworker on his loving day off to have him text me about something they wanted me to do instead of contacting or talking to me directly because they're like "shunning" me because I'm quitting or something. It's loving pathetic. What a couple of pissy little babies.

Why do you go back if you're quitting and they're this petty? Is there any legal liability if you don't, and is there any real risk of reputational damage?

Yeah there's some reputational damage and I still need to get some things secured. I have the apartment lined up but the contract isn't totally complete yet. I'd also rather not deal with the added drama of the whole employee housing thing. They haven't done anything too over the top to the point where I feel totally justified in walking yet. It's just little lovely things. I agree it's really dumb, but I do think there'd be a bit of fallout in a relatively small professional community. Probably nothing too huge, but not quite worth it just yet. Also I compain a lot because lots of things about this place are just frustrating.

I texted them saying to speak with me directly next time they wanted something done and that I would get it taken care of tomorrow since I had things I needed to prep before I could do so. They responded by saying that they weren't going to have that done until later and they're still talking about it. Either my coworker made a mistake, they're trying to backpedal, or some combination of the two.

My boss got mad at me for pooping at work today and I reminded him that I had to be in at 5:30 to receive freight, alone, and that I didn't leave until 4:50.

He piped the gently caress down, because I don't get lunches or breaks.

Wow. Policing pooping is gross on several levels.

Yeah, same kind of. My mom and I may disagree on many, many things but she at least taught me not to use the c-word (or b*tch for that matter) for the exact reason you said.

I found another job! It's data entry for a medical laboratory. Not anything exciting and the commute by bus is a little janky time wise but at least my coworkers and boss seems nice. Unfortunately since my background check took longer than expected to clear they had me start last Wednesday for training and I'm going to be working until this Friday. Also my shift is early afternoon to night so dramatically adjusting my sleep schedule is going to be fun
