Me: Hi, I can't access any of my systems that use ID XXXX, it just keeps asking for the password and won't let me in.

Helplessdesk: OK, so which systems can't you get in to?

????

Me: I called Friday and was told it was a known issue and being looked at, is it still broken?

Helplessdesk: No. You're ID has been locked. What can't you access?

Me: Ummm, everything that uses that locked ID and why wasn't it unlocked on Friday when I called?

UGH, eeeeediots :mad:

Damn you! I spent twenty minutes on that site... before my supervisor asked what I was doing and I had to pretend to work again.

Sorry, The laughing out loud is a dead giveaway.

He is worth the read, though.

I really don't want to be here (at work) right now... Can't I just go home due to lack of interest/motivation?

Yes. I authorise you to go home.

I concur. Two internet mods oiutrank a real life boss, right?

Dngrsone · Mar 20, 2017

It might actually be the only way I could get myself fired...

lunatic59 · Mar 20, 2017

One of the happiest days of my life was the day I was let go from my last job.

Dngrsone · Mar 20, 2017

Well, I am about to apply for a much-better-paying job, but it will involve deploying once again... if there is room for upward movement, though, and a chance to stay home more often than not, I am all for it.

I've given the boss plenty of chances to accommodate me, so now I am seriously looking elsewhere.

If you're constantly treading on egg shells, there comes a point at which you have to break a few.

Yeah, enough with the coddling.

As my Mum used to say

YOU can't make an omelette,,,,

...without whipping three eggs, tossing in an oiled skillet and adding chopped ham, bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, and cheese, folding it over and placing on a plate????

Clementine_3 · Mar 24, 2017

Hold the peppers please! I do enjoy an omelette and make a pretty good one if I don't say so myself.

It's my son's goto breakfast for the last couple weeks (he's 9, it will soon switch to Eggos or something else) and I can whip out a bacon (facon I call it, the precooked stuff) and cheese omelet in under 5 minutes.

Clementine_3 · Mar 24, 2017

What time is breakfast? I'll be there

the lucky William · Mar 25, 2017

Is it time for dinner? :rolleyes:

Clementine_3 · Mar 25, 2017

I'm so glad I read that between sips of coffee, there would have been a laptop screen cleaning involved otherwise.

My tablets recovery mode is written in Chinese. Looks like only mikedt can clear my system cache...

So I'm watching "The Warriors" (1979) and Cyrus is giving his "Can You Dig It?" speech when it occurs to me that the platform he's speaking from is almost an exact duplicate of playground equipment I used to play on after school in the 7th grade. The only difference I could see was we had a telephone pole with a thick swinging rope sticking out of that second from the top platform.

Post a screen-shot, and I can tell you what it says

Dngrsone · Mar 26, 2017

Wow, apparently this has be known for a while, but I only found this out right now.

Yes, that totally sounds like a click-bait opening sentence, but in this case it's true: if I pre-soak my pasta, I can toss it into the sauce and cook it just before serving. reference

Which would have been nice to know before I went out and spent $1800 on a new stove because the old one sucks at boiling water...

Okay, so Dngrswife wanted an oven with accurate temp settings and top broiler, so we would have bought it anyway, but still... So many meals have been delayed while we've waited for the water to boil... (even starting the pasta water first, then making the sauce)

dontpanicbobby · Mar 26, 2017

Where are you from. How did you not know that?
