DSYWD: DSD edition, Ch. 3. My guy is just lazy and fucks me over. Aforementioned N trusts me to run his route. After eleven years of not taking time off. Stipulations on my end: wheels may not fall off the trailer. Axles may not fall off and get stuck underneath the trailer, grinding furrows in the road while shooting sparks ten feet behind. I would appreciate if the trailer had flooring from front to back. Flat flooring, with no holes. NO loving BUGS! N fixes the floor, more or less. New tires, new axles. Good to go. He asks me when I want to come into the depot to run the route with him. "0200." "Ugh. I haven't been in there that early in a decade. But, ok." To his credit, he's there. We run the route and get done around 0800. "Is there anything you need going forward?" "Yup. Kill the roaches." I make the mistake of mentioning boric acid as a food safe solution. "Buy the big jug at Ball-Warg, and spead it where bugs come in." I take over. Back the trailer up and slam the first tray on the floor. Soaked with sweat, boric acid flies everywhere. He opened the jug and spread it until it was empty. Top to bottom, I'm covered in white powder. Should have been more specific.

I work for a government department that provides support for people who have disabilities. About 20% of our workforce identify as living with a disability, and part of my job involves organising equipment or building modifications for them so they can do their jobs and their working environment is inclusive and safe. About six weeks ago I have an employee who uses a wheelchair send me a photo of the accessible toilet in their office. There's a toilet roll holder installed right over the transfer/grab rail thing which pretty much makes the grab rail useless for its intended purpose. I log a ticket with the property services team to get the toilet roll holder moved. Because the office building isn't owned by our organisation, it's rented from another government agency, any property modifications have to go through the building owners which slows everything down substantially. After about a month, the toilet roll holder still hasn't been moved and the employee takes it upon themselves to attack it with a screwdriver and remove it from the wall. Last week, the contractors who were organised by the property team to move the toilet roll holder show up and find it on the floor. So they reattach it to the wall, in exactly the same spot it was in before.

I was workin wave with my tech and he was dropping parts and I was at inspection and we were rollin hard until about 2:50, ten minutes before his lunch and 40 before mine. He came up to me and told me when he went to the bathroom an hour prior he roasted his rear end raw with diarrhea from a sandwich he ate earlier and he was gonna go home before he poo poo his pants. If that's the dumb poo poo that happens at work in a night, that's a good night!

Was briefly in the office last week and listened intently while my coworker had a conversation with an unknown party. "Ok so click on the grid in the upper left.... no wrong side. Upper LEFT. Yeah. So scroll down to Updated View. Yes it's there everyone has it.... below default view like three options down. Ok. Yeah it's kinda different you're looking f- no, we have to use this one. Because it has data default view doesn't. I don't know. Well we can't invoice or approve anything from that view, it's for the agents. I'm not sure, I didn't build- ok well you'll have to speak to Salesforce about it. Anyway in the details section... the one at the very top. You have it. It's at the top." Etc. She gets done and I ask if she's training a new agent or something. "No that was the VP of Dipshit Co, your new boss I guess. Wouldn't trust him to go grocery shopping without a handler." Wonderful. Then later that day the CEO of Dipshit Co chewed out an employee for approving invoices. Guess who told said employee to approve said invoices no less than a month ago? I have an interview for a union gig in a school district on Thursday. I need to crush it for my sanity. Edit: Dumb boss wants me to send him all invoices so he can approve them before entering them in the system. The system that has a baked in non-negotiable approval process before anything can be paid. Critical fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Nov 8, 2022 |

Our vendors are treating us like poo poo and we love it. One vendor, we tell them how we are measuring to determine if a component in their assembly is out of spec. They are telling us actually that's not the correct way at all to determine if it's in spec. Then they tell us that everything they ship to us, new and reman'd, is in spec because they measured it exactly how we do. We've agreed to have everything we suspect of being out of spec shipped back to them, and they'll tell us if it is out of spec or not. Lol Another vendor announced a product recently that directly competes with one of ours. We've been tripping over ourselves to give them more business. We're trying to get them them to develop components for our competing product and they're ghosting us. Lol Another vendor, we had a meeting a few months ago and they basically blew us off. Late to the meeting, generic presentation, not trying to relate anything they do to our specific applications. We beg them for another meeting. They sell big this time, including selling us on a development process where we pay them to tell us the specs for the system that we will then pay them to develop for us. "Wow! Amazing! These guys are really on top of it now! Can't wait to work with them." Lol

Boss says she's going to assign me a task at 9:30. Boss emails me what I need for that task at 12:28. I immediately message her asking for clarification on a few points as what she's mailed me is unclear. Now it's 2:00 and I haven't heard anything. I have literally nothing else remaining assigned to me in this sprint. I have a shitload to do next sprint, but we are under standing orders not to bring anything forward and therefore increase the workload of the current sprint In our morning meetings if I come up with something that should be done and is a very quick fix, my boss tells me not to work on it and to book it for next sprint because we can't add priorities midstream. This includes for things that would actively assist us or even reduce overall workload in the current sprint. My current favourite game is being told in a meeting to book a small thing for the next sprint, and then completing that task in secret before the meeting is over. The above is all a result of my boss's unwavering dedication to Agile, which she considers the silver bullet management style. We are a platform management team that deals in policy and a significant service desk bau workload. We do not develop software.

champagne posting posted:Escape you should branch out: Apparently, the leap from beer to distilling isn't huge, as with grain spirits the first steps are pretty much the same IIRC. I just don't know if I have enough interest in it right now. Overall, things here are fine but we're definitely never going to grow. A few days ago a brewer I know dropped by and commented that he had to like search for my beer to find it. They have a beer pairing menu that uses nothing but guest beers. My beers are on a paper printout menu that often leaves the tables and aren't replaced. I also don't think they really advertise that we make our own beer that much, just a few small mentions on the signage outside and on the menu, which seems pretty goofy to me. I've come out of the brewery into the restaurant and had patrons ask what I'm making in there. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that most of the customers don't know there's a brewery on site. I get that at a brew pub the main focus is going to be on the food but I mean come on! We don't even have "brewery", "beer", or any other similar word in our name. We also don't have a dedicated sales person, so on the rare occasion where we get orders it takes like a week for the restaurant manager to even respond. As it stands though, it's an easygoing job and I have a lot of freedom to do things I want. So I'm using it to learn more and improve where I can. I'm going to probably think more seriously about where I plan to be after I get my visa renewed early next year. At least in the meantime I'm making decent enough money and being able to take things pretty easy. Showed up at 2 today. I'll probably leave at 5. Pretty much nothing happening for me until the 15th so eyyyy!

Fortunately, I don't have to listen to this guy. If pushed though, I'd still push back only because at one of the places I worked the owner insisted on me adding protein powder to a west coast IPA. When I asked what he wanted from that he only said it would be "cool". All it did was gum up my mash and added nothing noticable to the finished beer.

Food coloring is about the most inoffensive dumb thing to do to beer. I agree that it's dumb, but all things considered beyond the usual food coloring crap like getting alarmed at a neon green poo poo the day after St. Patty's at least it's not loving up the taste etc.

I also don't think it's going to drive sales really. Plus I have somewhat colored beers with butterfly pea tea as well as hibiscus. If I really had to add coloring I'd prefer only doing a small amount like a keg or two. It's just that classic case of trying to come up with gimmicky stuff for the sake of drumming up interest and ignoring nuts and bolts solutions like maybe featuring the beer more prominently in the menu, increasing social media presence, using our own beers for the pairing menu, etc. IMHO.

My mind immediately went to tiny chunks of mystery meat floating in beer and was immediately horrified. I know it wasn’t the intent (at least I hope not), but felt compelled to share that mental image. Although, I suppose it could be tofu, but somehow I don’t know if that would be better. I can’t envision what that would actually be like, so my mind just defaults to boba beer. Can you tell I know nothing at all about brewing other than to leave it to people who do?

years and years ago a roommate of mine (Mike) worked at a bar/restaurant and on St. Paddy's day they'd do the green beer thing. At the end of the night they had a keg more than half full left over and they let him take it home for us at our little beach complex to enjoy. What Mike didn't tell us that he injected that keg with like 4x green dye servings, so much that the beer was almost black. We were all poopin dark green for a while
