Random Rants Eighty-Four: Rants Gone Wild!!!!

[aimeeandbeatles]

A person I work with just asked me if I could figure out what was wrong with their printer. I had to stop what I was doing, go down the hall, look at their PC and printer. It needed paper. They do this crap all the time. They aren't stupid, they're just one of these people who think all technology is indistinguishable from magic. They won't even bother to understand the basics of the 30-year-old technology that they use every day. Makes me [forking] insane. They don't work for me, though, so I don't know if I can tell them that it's [forking] 2020 and they should maybe learn how to use [forking] 1990 technology. At least they said 'thanks.'

Poor Lexxy, she was such a good girl and I killed her!

Most pizza places here, in addition to pizza, offer various kinds of bread/cheese sticks, pasta, fries/potato wedges, seafood (usually shrimp, but Pizza 73 had cod bites for awhile, which was good), chicken (nuggets or strips), some places offer ribs, and most offer some sort of dessert. Of course they also offer beverages (mostly pop or water; some offer coffee, tea, and juice). The reason is that most people like a variety of finger foods, and if the restaurant expands their menu to offer it, they're more likely to keep a customer who might be tempted away to another place.

Wow, that actually sound interesting.

Depends on if it's a rifle or a snub nose.

All you need is a good guiding hand.

If it's so easy, how do you explain the messes I've been cleaning up for the last decade when I've had a man living in my house?

Wait, don't rifles work by making the ammunition spin around? So, uh, how would that....I don't want to think about it.

Barrel length also has an effect on accuracy.

Maybe the solution is to hire a housekeeper? At the very least your sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping would be done, the laundry would be washed, ironed, folded (put away would be up to you; the person who helps me sometimes puts my stuff in the weirdest places), and you might get someone who would take the garbage out.

If Mr. KB objects, tell him to step up and do his share.

Every year a colleague produces a stack of documents that I have to go through. It's tedious, but it's only once a year, so f it. He left for vacation on Tuesday, but before he skipped town he made sure to leave me the stack so I could get started.

These are last year's documents.

For his sake, I hope he created this year's and the whoopsie-daisy here was only that he sent me last year's.

I've lost patience with people. Especially at work. I'm just tired of hearing excuses and sob stories about why they can't complete the tasks they are assigned. Even if some of those excuses may be legitimate, I just don't want to hear it anymore.

 

[rah]

Of all my years in management, the most creative excuses were from when I was managing a call center. Minimum wage phone center workers just didn't care how outlandish theirs were. My favorite was my grandmother got hit by a car and my parents are spending the weekend at Sybaris and there is no phone in their room so I have to go over there to tell them. EW Or me more common, by boyfriend got into a fight in a bar and got his finger bitten off and I have it wrapped in my car and have to take it to the hospital so they can reattach it.

TIL that ricola candies work as laxatives.

Normally I'd say that I learned this the hard way, but it's quite the opposite.

Ah, so it fixed a case of constipation?

I think it's the echinecea.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I think it's the echinecea.

I think there are places in life where the exact specifics of how you got there aren't really important.

 

[The_J]

Since I need some type of candy (throat issues), it kinda is important.

Nope

I think it's the echinecea.

There's supposedly no echinacea in there, and I've been taking echinacea separately for 2+ years, so no, don't think so .

I am a shill for Fisherman's Friend.

 

[The_J]

I don't have problems with a blocked throat, rather with a dry mouth, so that probably wouldn't help :/.

Rant: Sometimes I find good fanfics that were abandoned years ago. That's sad.

I usually just chew gum for a dry mouth. Make sure to get the kind with xyitol (or something like that) because I think it's better for your teeth than other ones.

I dont always pee whilst standing, but when I do I lift the seating ring to prevent absolutely any spilling over it at all. It is not that hard. There are no excuses. When I go into a public toilet and the sesting ring is full of yellow-greenish droplets, I am disgusted at the slovenliness and the poor disposition that people seem to have.
