I’d kind of see that as a bonus. Some time to bond while on a nice vacation on someone else’s dime would be cool especially if it meant not having to deal with the ex and the new guy as much. Definitely don’t go if you’re not going to be civil with the ex and him though (which would be understandable given the circumstances). Ruining the trip for everyone else won’t gain anything other than possibly resentment from the kid.

That probably wouldn’t have been too far off.

They banned me for giving my opinion on how child molesters should be punished and then permabanned me for doing it again when I got back. Funny thing is people say the exact same kind of shit about all kinds of other people and those comments are fine… weird how they only care to protect people who molest children.

This is why I write down everything when I’m setting something up that’s new to me. Even if I go off someone else’s tutorial I put it in my own words. That way when I come back to it later I’ll understand it and if I run across someone else that’s trying to do the same thing I have at least one step by step guide to offer them.

I CAN’T FIND MY DOCUMENT!!!

Okay, where did you save it?

I DON’T KNOW, I JUST CLICK SAVE LIKE ALWAYS!!!

*remotes into workstation and clicks save only to find the file was saved in their temp directory*

I had that conversation hundreds of times when I was doing desktop support…

I used to work at a auto shop and one time a lady came in wanting an estimate to replace the majority of the exhaust on her car. We didn’t do exhaust work so the only way for me to price that out for her was to go based off the purchase of all the components from the parts shop which would have been way more expensive than a shop that actually does exhaust work. I told her as such and then she insisted that I price it out anyway which took forever because I had to find a diagram of her cars exhaust and cross reference all the parts with the parts shop website and then the entire time she’s bitching at me about how long this is taking. I continued to explain that going to an exhaust shop would be cheaper and she continued to insist. When I handed her the estimate she glanced at it, laughed in my face, and stormed out. That shit happened almost 2 decades ago and it still pops into my head frequently.

Yea, I was just thinking this morning how fucked up it is that there’s nothing you can do if you’re in this situation to catch up. The world won’t stop moving while you try to figure your shit out and you’re just fucked if you fall behind while trying to deal with it.

I accidentally switched to it and it dropped all my non-MS mailboxes. Then when I immediately switched back it had the gall to ask me why.

Reminds me of my last job where I had to build a ridiculously complex excel spreadsheet that I copied a bunch of reports into to do scheduling because someone decided I didn’t need access to the actual data…

Agreed. They switched us to teams for our softphone and the caller ID doesn’t even show me the number that called half the time. I just get a generic location which is worthless to me.

Damn, I used to walk home from the bus stop that was 1/2 mile away when I was in kindergarten. These people need to calm down.

You truly believe someone thought that you would just throw away an entire dump truck when the battery died?

I know how it works. I was making a joke by applying the concept of disposable e-waste junk to a massive dump truck.

I remember staying up til I heard my parents start moving around in the morning and then rushing to shut down the PC and jump in bed before my mom came out. Good times.

Maga types will be doing a lot of this over the next 4 years and I certainly won’t like it when they’re doxxing immigrants and LGBTQ folks.

They’ll do it regardless of if it’s done to this dipshit or not.

Mayhem commercials are the only decent commercials there has ever been or will ever be. I don’t remember what brand they are advertising for but that’s beside the point.

I didn’t know Frieza had a lemmy account.

You just toss it when the battery dies and get a new one.

They’re blaming minority groups for problems with the economy and people getting left behind. If that shit was resolved and things were good they’d have nothing to blame on the minority groups.
