The restaurant manager is very convinced that we'll be set if we can get a certain beer bar in town to buy a keg. This place mostly stocks hazies, pastry stouts, and smoothie sours. We don't really have those in our catalog.

I kind of wish I could get everyone in a meeting so we could figure out a fuckin production schedule instead of constantly being told what to make with like a week of notice. Especially now that I have two liquid yeast pitches in the walk in that expire in September.

well do it after it spoils when management fails to give you the greenlight for a beer to make with it.

then say something really weird like "senpai gives me big cummies"

actually that might be very normal in Japan, I leave the one liner to your best judgement

i hear this and lots lots more every day from my doofus coworkers and also from the public

did you know that the moon is hollow and rang like a bell when the astronauts landed on it?
did you know that bigfoot is an interdimensional time traveler?
did you know there's a giant magic crystal under the coast and that redirects the really bad hurricanes away?
that's just the warm up to all the medical conspiracies, government conspiracies, casual racism, transphobia, ugh all kinds of dumb stuff. these people are headstrong and convinced they're the good guys and also allies to the oppressed. it's wild. man that's an understatement. ignoring that, there's a litany of crazy poo poo i've seen just day to day

plus all of the REALLY crazy poo poo

add to that a long-rear end drive each way to make up for other people's slack in an underpaying thankless job where i get to do cool poo poo like hand dig graves for dead kids or maybe soon to be anyway and assist in burying young people who seemed cool and grandparents who lived full lives and random strangers who, sorry, but some of your family members are real assholes down to their core even considering their grieving state
and, well, some strangers who seemed like jerks and gently caress em, they're dead and we're not

goddamn I need a new job

it's not always terrible day in day out. i've met some people and done some things and been glad to. have. glad to have?

I do dread going to work every single day though, ugh

sorry to go on a rant, things have been pretty wack lately and it's impossible to avoid it infusing my posts and I don't wanna doom post too much

not surprising but sad. yeah, it's spread across all ages but in my experience older people have a higher chance of being lovely about it. but I work with mostly middle aged doofuses so it's all over I guess

I'm open to interpretation!
I have to say I am glad that where I work, the bosses don't really tolerate that stuff. I've had run ins with a couple repeat offenders going off on transphobic screeds and one malding incident over the Little Mermaid remake. It had been an ongoing thing with those couple guys and one point it got so egregious and the conversation started spreading out to a couple other people who were obviously not into it so I shot an email to my supervisor, and in the next couple minutes the big boss swooced around the corner to take them away for a quick "shut the hell up" talk. I haven't heard a peep from them since. My bosses are all conservatives but they're professionals first.

I am a patient they.

New job, fully remote, it's okay.

It's weird because freaking nobody talks to me. But whatever.

I finally found another fully remote employee, who also thinks this is weird, and now we're poo poo posting on Teams and designing cute stickers to give out at our next training. This makes me feel like I won, somehow.

more falafel please

forums poster

a lot of what i've been doing at work recently is rewriting systems that worked with the old API for a specific console and converting them to work with the new api for that console. it's kinda silly because the new one is just the more verbose version of the old one and we don't want to change how we're interacting with the APIs at all so it's just taking 80 lines of code that worked fine and rewriting them to be 300 lines of code that do exactly the same thing

but anyway i started work on a system this week that was bound to be obnoxious and i finished it today and it Literally Just Worked out of the box which, like, yeah, it should, but also i do not trust it at all lol

No, I like my hat, thanks.
We have had 4 employee satisfaction questionnaires in the past 12 months. In response to our responses, our CEO decided what would really improve morale is to hire a corporate motivational speaker to lecture us on living a complaint-free lifestyle and entice us with a Complaint-Free Month Challenge! We have been assured that learning not to complain will make us so much happier. Oh, and we have to pay for our own copy of the book that this motivational speaker is shilling.

Why am I skeptical about this? Is there something wrong with me?

Ass-penny

buying a book is mandatory??

No, I like my hat, thanks.
Only if we want to read it, which we were encouraged to do. We do have to stay late to attend the motivational lecture.

This is a weird feeling. As you gain experience, it happens more frequently, but it never stops feeling catastrophic.
