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.

Glad to hear it, man. Hopefully they had a side talk with him as well....

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)

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.

my whole state is an ultrasonic humidifier :o:

gently caress yes. I can send referral links that will get people in front of HR and the hiring managers. I need an email address BEFORE they start an application so I can send them the internal app, if they like a job.

ETA: obv after I send them the website then they can decide to send me an email address lol. I just woke up (I'm sick) so brain mush.

I'm making a golden strong next month and was trying to figure out which puree to use. For some reason they left it up to the restaurant manager. He said lychee but I put the kibash on that and showed him the list of fruits I thought would work best. He started asking about colors. What is this motherfucker's obsession with colors? I get it can look nice but like...it's the only part he seems to care about.

i was just checking the employee handbook to find out how to access a resource that i need, and noticed that there's a "dress code" section, which SPECIFICALLY calls out Crocs as forbidden. considering that we're a remote first company and nobody ever sees anyone's feet, this is rather silly. maybe it's the attitude that wearing Crocs brings. "oh you want me to behave professionally? gently caress you, i'm wearing Crocs"

They can pry my pink Adidas slides from my weird, cold feet. Actually they cannot, because I work from home.

Jesus Christ this place cannot figure out how to use PR. They seem to view the press itself as the goal and not as a means with which to make sales.

Hey! We are going to blow your phone up on your day off because we "need" you to make a beer for this TV program! Also we need a ton of bottles for online sales. No, we're not going to put the kegs we have of said beer on that will be featured on said program in preparation of possible customers coming in to try the said beer after the segment airs. No, we are not going to make any mention of the beer being featured, nor post any pictures of it along with the post we put on our Instagram saying we'll be on that program. Why would we do that? Lol.

Cruft Jr has been increasingly concerned with all the blood that pools up in my feet at the end of the day. I stand up all day long, on a hardwood floor, with no shoes on.

Maybe I should get one of them pads to stand on.
