I thought I was having a nice but a little intense and personal conversation with my coworker about how isolated people get and how it's important to check in with one another except he was wearing headphones and on a call |

Escape From Noise posted: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. I have to keep reminding our legal department that the service contract is not the final product that clients pay us for, it is the gateway to being able to do the work that clients pay us for. Otherwise, they seem to do everything in their power to ensure that no one will want to work with us. I guess if we have no clients, there's no legal risk to the company, which is all they care about. |

Well my beer was on TV. Technically. I think for like a second it flashed on the screen as part of a huge lineup on different beers in the region or whatever. I tuned in late so I thought maybe I'd missed it but the people I know who watched it didn't see it either. Lol. Glad I had to scramble to get that stupid beer that never loving sells for a blip of airtime that nobody is going to even notice. poo poo's like a metaphor for this loving job.

my boss switched expanding foams we use for hands and feet because the new stuff is cheaper. the first couple weeks went ok, the new stuff is a little brittle and I lost some fingers pulling them. now it's leaving residue behind in the molds, isn't curing the same (squishy and soft, as opposed to firm and rigid), and I'm losing most of the fingers on hands I pull. we have 55 gallon barrels of this poo poo

My employers at the brewery have made us work for 16 hours per day for the last fortnight, all so they can promote their faddish ale in the backpages of a second-rate tabloid! I pray to God that we are allowed to return to a steady 12 hours after this foolish endeavor has ceased. Also, I have fallen into a boiling vat due to a lack of guard rails. This missive has been sent from the depths of purgatory lol |

My laptop hard drive has been making ominous buzzing and click noises it never made before, loud enough to be heard over the elephant seal livecam (!). I've backed up my important work files, just in case, and I've been waiting for an IT response for almost three hours.  I have so much to do and can't do anything until they tell me I'm being a paranoid id10t. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |

The laptop I was given to use while my own is diagnosed freaked right the gently caress out when I turned it on and I, briefly, had another "oh no they said this day would come!" before grabbing my phone to video evidence. Genuinely love modern technology!

cruft posted:I work in an IT group now: you're not being a paranoid idiot. That hard drive was having a bad day. So, reversal of fortune for both laptops! Our IT person poked at the loaner for a moment and said it was in the throes of motherboard failure (!!). It has been taken away, probably to be replaced, but perhaps not. My own apparently was in dire need of hardware updates (!!!). In my defense, we users are not allowed to do these; they require admin access. The solution was for the admin working on it to get it started downloading and then set up so it will now automatically receive updates. However, this one needs to be replaced (IT policy) because its warranty is very very close to expiration. I still need to listen for unusual noises, though. And it will take maybe 2 months to get a new one. tldr; same laptop still used, seals still adorbs. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |

more falafel please posted:i warned you about silicones bro!!! honestly if you follow the instructions silicones are fairly nice to work with, in the short term. the rubber in my experience ages poorly and will tear and deteriorate no matter what you do. honestly that is my experience with molds in general. that you can do everything by the book but by the time you pull your 50th, 100th, 500th part, there will be some deterioration. actually I don't know if I ever used any mold for 500 components. I don't know sbahj but I assume it is the guy in my smilie? |

Sbahj is Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, a parody of gaming web comics that was more biting when it came out originally and everybody and their mom wanted to make the next Penny Arcade (bad) or Ctrl Alt Delete or VGCats (pivoted to furry porn). But also it was the "play within a play" type comic written by a character in Homestuck. Think of "Tales of The Black Freighter" in Watchmen and how it was used to foreshadow events and give depth to certain characters. |

Oh cool my coworker decided that whoever won the billion dollar powerball is a junkie who is just going to overdose anyways because it was bought in "skid row". Like the band. She then pivoted to how narcan shouldn't be used because they often want to die but that insulin should be free "but not like Canada". |
