Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

hahahah I have been looking at the for the blind cubes. They have ones with arrows on them, and all the arrows have to point the same way for it to be solved  Like the top ^ the front < the right side > and so on.

Is anyone else using Chrome and having issues with closing youtube videos? When I close a video chrome crashes. (Well it says the flash player crashes, but chrome freezes up as well.) Firefox works fine with youtube. I can open and close videos as I please. I have updated adobe and it still crashes... I think I may switch back to Firefox...

decisions, decisions.  I can feel life changes on the horizon.

I got a 32 second solve on my cube today. My new best. (my old best was 36 seconds.)


Tomorrow is inventory, which is kinda gona suck, but it really shouldn't be to bad at all. In fact it should be a pretty good one. Holidays are over, so less turkeys and shit. And we don't get new fright tonight, so less to count. It should go smooth. Hopefully the store manager doesn't notice my headphones. She made a stink about people having mp3 players and cellphones, and how we aren't supposed to have them while working. And while I still carry my phone (a calculator is really nice to have, and texting TPD) I only listen to my music on inventory, since I'm pretty much 100% in the back.

Men are so cute when they act like they're not jealous, but they really are, lol.

Ugh. My pc case has a front and back fan and then a lot bigger side fan. It shit the bed. I noticed last night when I went to bed and looked at my case, I could just see the fan and it wasn't spinning. However, my pc isn't running hot right now. I will need to dust the shit out of it and see if that fixes it. OR if I need to buy a new one. Newegg has them for dirt cheap so it's ok. Just wish I didn't have to spend more money. (THEN again, I have a smaller fan, and zip ties. So I may just kludge it up...)

Buddy, if you didn't live so far away, I'd ship you my Coolermaster Sniper case, got 6 fans running in that one, but it's been redundent since I made a new build.  If it's just a case fan that's blown, it's not a hugely critical issue unless you're seriously pushing the PC frequently.

[Aaron]

Ya its just the case fan. I know its not that big of a deal. (Which is why I didn't order a new one yet.) (and my room is cool right now so I really don't have anything to worry about.) And even a new fan is less then 20 maybe 25 with shipping. So I'm not gona worry about it till I know I can't fix it...

I wonder if I just made a career limiting move and I lost it on my boss.  I wasn't out of control and I was completely professional, but I told him how it is.  Basically myself and 2 other people on a team of 10+ haven't had a completely free weekend since before the holidays.  Every week midweek he has "Lumberg'ed" us with the whole "yeahhh  ummm  I need you to work this saturday" or  be available on sunday for escalations, etc.

I explained to him how we could do this without wasting anyone's time and without losing any efficiency whatsoever.  Let's see what happens.  It feels like harassment at this point and I couldn't contain my opinions any longer.

[Goose]

If you've worked every weekend for a month and a half, any rational person would expect you to be a little on edge.  If you kept your cool and just explained what's going on and offered a better way to do things that's easier on everyone, then that's usually worth a ton of kudos.

Of course, you also work in a place where insanity is SOP, so who knows what the hell could happen.

Either way, there's still job openings up here for anyone who knows a bit of Java.

[individualzero]

Good on you for telling him how it should be, man. Bosses that incompetent shouldn't be working that kind of job and controlling people like that; I say that if he fires you/gets you fired for just honestly telling him the way things should be run properly, then he's lost a valuable asset and he's already sunk his own ship. I'd hate to work in a situation like that, myself.... I think anyone would.





Maybe this lolz moment will cheer some of us up:
individualzero: what's up?
nomesis: Watching the BBC
individualzero: aren't you American? why the fuck are you watching the bbc?
nomesis: sometimes I mute the sound and watch it
nomesis: And I realize
nomesis: these people don't seem nearly as foreign without the accents. its like they could be plain jain white americans wthout the funny voices
individualzero: lol?

Thanks for the words.  To my manager's credit, I am certain that most of this is coming down from above him, but he isn't standing up to them and saying what I said.

I have already mentally checked out of this place though.  Resumes are flowing and I am fairly certain I won't have to suffer under the thumb of lunacy for much longer.

[videodrone]

So one week into the new job and I've had three different people tell me that I should get a second job. Uh, awkward?

drone

[r00]

That is definitely weird.

Is it because of not getting enough hours or because you should watch your back around that place? 

[Aaron]

r00 buy this (  http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/supplies/61b7/?srp=44   ) and then it should go missing. Burn the place down.

Goose how hard is it to learn Java?

Drone that is odd. But ya same question as r00.


I woke up a bit ago. I was gona hit snooze and go back to sleep. Then I heard what I thought was knocking on my door, in an angry kinda way... So I RUSH out there no one there, it was the kids up stairs... (Or at lest I assume it was them, playing in the bath.) Oh well, I needed to get up anyway.


I wanted a new brush. And after asking around and reading I had it picked out, it was supposed to be in stock today. Now the site doesn't say it will be back in stock at all. Ugh. and GRRR all at once. They do have a differen't version of it, just a bit different (I don't think it looks as cool... Ugh. Oh well.) (what I wanted.  http://www.italianbarber.com/semogue-owners-club-boar-bristle-shaving-brush-cherry-wood   )

hahaha  I would be lying if I said the thought never crossed my mind.

I DEFINITELY SAID NO SALT!   WHOOOMF!
