Really wish the restaurant manager would stop responding to me asking the last time he cleaned the loving beer lines with "I don't know. I want to, but I'm busy!". Just carve out like an hour pre opening once a month. It's mostly just waiting with caustic in the lines. You can do other things while it sets! I used to do in before opening once every two weeks or so when I worked behind the loving bar! It's not that hard! Weekdays tend to be pretty slow! Guess I'm gonna have to get back there with a bucket and a mop as well as a rag and bleach water to clean up the floor that is once again caked in dried up stale beer while the hoses are loving caked in mold. I mean... for Christ's sake!

on the other hand Amazon hosting 70% of the internet and establishing themselves as The online shopping facilitator seems a little less ephemeral to me currently and makes me feel like I'll be dealing with Amazon until the day I die absent any antitrust actions being taken against them (lol)

Hi Sentient Bag of Human Garbage,

The beer lines are loving disgusting and the beer tastes like rear end because of it. The bar is also a gross health code violation. This is unhygienic and is going to cost us money. It also reflects badly on the company. I will not be supplying you with any more kegs until you clean them twice a month.

I can't really withhold beer from my own company, unfortunately. I dunno. Things are mostly okay as far as my actual job goes. I'm going to bring it up again. Possibly to the section chief. I don't want to rat, but I also don't think it'll end very badly for the manager. He's a level headed guy. I'm just getting tired of the lackluster presentation of what I produce and the lack of effort towards sales. I know my jobs at least safe and pay is okay. I'm coasting until at least March before I make any real decisions or start putting any effort into maybe looking for another job. I was thinking about working on opening my own place, but I've since reconsidered that option. I dunno. Just thinking about a lot of stuff.

When I was in high school my best friend’s cousin was one of the top raiders on his EverQuest server. He was also an EMT in our tiny town and regularly worked 24 hours shifts where he would either have no calls or be gone nonstop. The ambulance barn was right by my house and occasionally I’d be woken up at like 2:00 am by a phone call to him going, “Yorkshire, I got a call, come do this raid!” And I’d run over and and go click whatever two buttons I needed to until it was over.

Amusingly, they recently announced a UI update that is basically just Netflix:



I absolutely hate Amazon's new video interface. They have actually made it MORE difficult to find the shows we were watching to begin with.

In fun "dumb poo poo" news, apparently the husband has to go in tomorrow to craft the office's "Fire Evacuation" plan after today's fun times.

A fire alarm went off in an office filled with engineers, so high INT, but low WIS. And, the engineers did what engineers do. "Huh, this fire alarm is going off. Let's troubleshoot it. What could be causing this to happen? There's no smoke, so it must be something else. While we look into it, let's turn it off and go investigate."

The fire department was not impressed and apparently explained quite clearly, but kindly, that the investigation part of a fire alarm is actually their job, and THEY will be the ones to figure out what is going wrong while the office people EVACUATE THE BUILDING.

Oh, that part is even better.

The alarm was going off, not because of a faulty sensor as they were surmising... But because they decided to stress-test multiple machines at the same time right underneath the sensor that detects an increase in heat caused by fire.

Like, the heat coming off of said multiple machines at the same time in the same place.

Restaurant manager comes in at 10 today to clean up before opening at 12. He's cleaning the floor and when I mention that if he put caustic in the lines before starting his cleanup (I put it forth as a helpful suggestion, or that was at least the intent) and his response was that setting that up takes a lot of time. It's adding loving 50 ml of caustic to 5 liters of warm water, running it through 10 lines, waiting at least 30 minutes, then flushing. That's like maybe 15-20 minutes of setup, then just let it set as you clean everything else! It's a weekday! The place generally isn't too busy until later in the afternoon! I guess I'll have to clean these loving lines if I don't want my beer to taste like loving garbage!

Edit: I kind of feel bad about it but I sent pics of the state of the cold room with pictures on the mold and the dirty floor to a group chat with the restaurant manager and the section head saying they needed to start scheduling regular cleaning days. Again his response was "Well I've been busy...". This is killing me and partially why I'm probably just thinking I'll just do it, it's not even that much work. I used to do it regularly before opening when I was behind the bar as I prepped for the start of the day. I could literally do it while I'm cleaning the brew house tomorrow.

Meta Horizons is pretty much gonna be the same as Facebook but worse, because it's a legal bucket to contain data from all their existing and future services instead of quietly shuffling it into Facebook behind the EU's back.

My expectation is to migrate everyone to Horizons and then let Facebook wither as a marketing move to jettison the toxic branding for nice shiny new Meta. It won't work, but they clearly think it will.
