Oh dear! Their very own problem is already starting in their sentence. Hope it is outside by now!

Do they eat mosquitoes and other pesky bugs?

Yes, they do.

You know what... I might want some alllllll around my bed!

If I don't understand something, I ask. You wouldn't believe how many pieces of other people's jobs that I know where I work, just because of that. Knowledge is power, and it's always better to know things than trust others to know them for you.

*cybermental hugs*

All scripters should start any conversation with "Feature Creep is Not Allowed." I get that all the time at my real job. "It won't take you long to add X, Y, and Z while you're doing A & B."

@Tai_MT nah, these requests are by English speakers - they either have it as their language under their avatar, or it's clear by the actual wording. They don't have a problem with the language, just with being considerate.

I understand it! ^^ On the other had some folks have weird ways to ask for something sometimes.

Reminds me of my last vacation to Myrtle Beach- our room's circuit break began sparking and smoking, so during the last night of the stay, we had to vacate the room we were in (oddly on the same floor height as you) at 1 in the morning, gathering all the stuff we had together and still in our PJs and move everything to the 15th floor. Worst 7 hours of sleep I ever had after that. We haven't vacationed since.

Well, gotta hand it to them for making your last day a memorable one.

At least they didn't make you evacuate on the first day.

How can you have two "highest priority" projects? My plan is to put the respective project owners in a room, lock the door and walk away for half an hour. The ones left standing when I get back will be the owners of my "highest priority" project.

Oh dear. Sounds like you're working at a corporation with multiple divisions, and any and all of them can pull you in "as a resource"? D: Makes ya wonder Who's Running the Asylum, sometimes.

We get a lot of work from the Credit and Marketing departments. Unfortunately, both of these projects are from Marketing, with different people at the helm.

That is truly groan-worthy.

Get a smaller truck then.

Pascal (the philosopher) had this famous method: break a massive task into smaller ones. Do each small ones and the massive task is done!

Some people have terrible hearts...! How can someone do something like that? It's puppies and kittens! Taking money like that... I can't say I wish that person much luck...

You gotta admit though, the comedy of the situation is spectacular. Stealing money meant for poor puppies and kittens is something you could totally see an evil mastermind would do in a kid show.

Another day I do not trust humans again!

Hope you catch the culprit or the Lord prepare the correct karma soup for the person.

I only like Gordon Ramsey in Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell. I like all of the fun drama in those shows. However, I did enjoy a show where he went into a prison to help the inmates do cooking and be productive.

Gordon is #@!$* hilarious!

That's why we like the kid cooking shows and Great British Bakeoff - no meanness.

I feel If I had a new laptop, I wouldn't want to go on vacation... I wish I was in his shoes ^^;

I'm afraid this is due to upbringing. You probably exposed him to Star Wars movies in the wrong order.

Of course, he could use it when you go on vacation to search for pron.

I'm impressed. McAfee was the only thing I had to remove. Had some Microsoft rubbish to get rid of as well, but most of it Windows won't give the option to remove. Typical!

Hubby went to print out the homegroup password and instructions for connecting to the homegroup, but it came up with an error and wouldn't let him print ... get this ... because IE was not the default browser. MS is so fickle.

Best post on the page for that plug-ins, or do a new post under plug-in support.

Some people just never learn. xD

They never learn. At which installment are you right now?

Playing in released order. Just finished Rapunzel. So 7 down, 7 to go. Next one is the Little Mermaid.

Horrible parts done. Now it's just copious testing. But I think, for now, it'll be dinner & bed, as dinner & testing may reveal bugs that will require rework and further testing, and I'm tired just thinking about it.

Wisdom is knowing when to say 'No' and stop.

I took it for a spin in an Aveyond game and it worked nicely. I discovered I'd made an oversight - nothing that can't be fixed with a dozen lines of code. That'll be this evening's task.

They started a massive restructure of the department about 18 months ago, and ALL promotions were put on hold for 2 years. Bummer for those who were close to getting one. So until all of those that had been pending were approved and notified, nobody could say anything.

Wow that sucks...

That's nuts. If they're willing to break their rules they should have the guts to deal with it.
Congrats on the promotion though

(weeks later)
M: I want to go overseas in June, so can you change your June leave to another date?
S: ok.
(later)
S: Has anyone booked leave at Christmas time yet?
M: Not yet.
S: I'll have the 24th off. Let me know if anyone else wants that date.
M: It's okay, you got in first, so you will have that date off.

...
I got in first those other times, too. And now this.

That's unpleasant to say the least. I suppose your only option is to be the last one to choose the date, so someone else will be bumped off for you

When he asked for everyone's dates, I said I would wait for everyone else to choose theirs, and then I'd choose around them. But nobody else submitted anything. So I "got in first" because everyone else was slack, then had to change them anyway. Won't happen next year!

I loved the Han Solo books trilogy, so I really hope this movie will be good enough to make me forget how it doesn't match at all with it. :x
