I really hope I can find a new job sooner rather than later. Recent developments are leaving me incredibly stressed out and depressed.

just spent the past 10 minutes listening to one coworker discuss how the bible needs to be rewritten because it's been proven that humans are older than the bible because of aliens or something. also, the sphinx was originally some other organism but then got re-carved to be the sphinx. also also the pyramids aren't tombs, they're some sort of electrical power storage device. ANCIENT BATTERIES the other coworker told us about how Stonehenge is a giant subwoofer. the first co-worker later turned to me and told me the other one is nuts. get me the gently caress OUT OF HERE F U C K

The restaurant manager was dumbfounded about the two pitches of liquid yeast that came in at the beginning of the month and didn't know what they were for DESPITE REQUESTING THAT I GET THEM BECAUSE HE WANTED SOME SPECIFIC BEERS! SOMETHING THAT I CONFIRMED WITH HIM MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE LAST MEETING!!! He also asked me about calculating the exact volume of finished beer in the tank that could be packaged before packaging because he thinks that's somehow important for deciding how many 10 liter kegs vs 20 liter kegs to fill. I told him I could do an estimate but I can't get it completely accurately because things like pressure and trub make the sight glass a less than accurate way of measuring liquid in the tank. He asked me if that's really true and if it's how other places do it. Motherfucker never loving believes me when I tell him I can't take care of some of his bizarre requests. Like why even ask me then if you're the loving expert? It's loving insulting. Escape From Noise fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jul 11, 2023

rear end-penny posted:cool, thank you for your input. lord only knows what SAs servers are named lmao As previously mentioned, forums.somethingawful.com. This is one of the few places on the Internet where the name of the server actually reflects what the hell it's serving. Your instinct to suspect it'll be some random thing is spot on: it's just that SA never moved out of the 90s. (I'm not convinced moving out of the 90s was a good idea for architecture) |

Ominous Jazz posted:I uh YouTube and practice! Putting in a hair tie is something I assumed was intuitive until I had to explain it to my husband and couldn't actually put it into words. Gotta watch someone's hands real close, then do it enough to develop the muscle memory. Play with your hair, it's fun! *I'm choosing to focus on hair talk right now because work is a neverending vortex of stress, uncertainty and boredom, but learning how to braid is straightforward, tangible and achievable* |

On a related note, I kind of want to buy a cheap head/block thing and a wig with curly hair so I can figure out how to french braid the two year old's hair. She cannot stay still long enough for me to practice and figuring it out on my own head means the muscle memory get all turned around when I try to do it on someone else's head. Also need to learn how to work better with curly hair in general. She came home from daycare one day with french braid pigtails because the teacher noticed she kept pushing her hair out of her face so she "just braided it real quick." I was mystified. Pretty sure she's a hair wizard. |

Ominous Jazz posted:I uh like DaChurl said, play with it, figure it out. one of my mates suggested switching from hair elastics to those clips with teeth, she said it avoids hairs getting wrapped around the elastic, pulling, etc. I believe this is a skill you can learn. talk to the other people in your life with long hair, they can be a font of information. |

Oops, turns out our client expects us to submit documentation of our QC process as part of our deliverable. Also, they expect us to have a QC process. That would have been a good thing to know 8 months ago when we started this project. |

Yesterday I wrote into the group text saying that the current production schedule process needed an overhaul because there was no way I could work effectively that way. The section head and general manager came in to talk to me. They seemed concerned and basically said I could take control of the schedule, all they wanted was to know how many beers I'd be releasing per month. I guess the restaurant manager either: A. Misunderstood what upper management was trying to communicate. B. Misrepresented what upper management was trying to communicate. C. Was trying to insert himself into a position of authority above me/become my manager D. Some combination thereof. I strongly suspect at least a certain amount of C seeing as this isn't the first time he's done this and fallen on his face because he's incompetent as hell. Doesn't stop him from trying though. I also still have authority to make orders on my own.

My home workstation is pretty much finalized at this point, so I plugged in the watt meter. With everything turned on, including running the few personal things plugged in (a clock and my personal laptop), I'm drawing about 45 watts. When I turn on the ultrasonic humidifier I'm using to cool off, it goes up to about 60 watts. That's less than half the energy my old office used just to turn on the lights. |
