Why do they let step 2 even happen? Is it just that the creators don’t actually give a shit about their product/brand, and just want an easy, big pay day? Screw their employees?

Truth

And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

Ehh I’d say quite a good amount of Gen X are like “Boomer-Lite” in how they act and live, if not full on Boomers. Especially the earlier half of the generation.

Yup. Grew up with stuff like Starfox, and it was later ruined by furries.

Interesting, I didn’t know Utah was known for bees/honey.

Bro, they’ve had a tough time since like…the entirety of their history.

I mean what are you gonna say, twenty nine? That just sounds like 29. Guess you could say Twenty Oh Nine but that feels awkward.

I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.

I definitely feel that… last week I was asked a question by a client regarding our status as a “local business”. I had no idea, and so I asked my coworker, who tried to look into it a little online, and came to the conclusion we probably weren’t one. So i told them we weren’t, and they were like “That’s strange, because when your company filed the original paperwork you said you were”. Weird of them to ask when they already knew the answer, right?

Well the real kicker is my office manager was CC’d on all of these emails, and after all this, I decided to ask her if she knew if we were considered a local business. She just said “yes, we are”. All I could think of was “Well why didn’t you chime in and say that at the beginning? Did I seriously have to specifically ask you to respond?!”

I didn’t actually say that, but I really wanted to…

It sometimes feels like this. At work i keep trying to let people help, and every time I do it comes back to bite me in the ass. I don’t WANT to micromanage, but they don’t give enough of a shit or miss things if I don’t basically direct them step by step and constantly followup. It’s exhausting… I miss working with reliable people.

Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.

Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).

That was Pixar though

It does. My brother and I call those dudes “Burger Kings” because they look like BK’s creepy king mascot

You get off on upsetting the people around you. That’s not normal behavior…

You might be a sociopath

Don’t get me wrong, when I was a teen I’d go to the bakery, pick up a loaf of fresh french bread and eat it on the walk home. But those days are long since past, unfortunately. And I don’t have kids.

Ehhh I mean yeah technically it’s “Scientifically Enhanced” Bread, but the “real” stuff is only good for a short time. I need something that doesn’t rush me to eat like 5-10 sandwiches (or meals where bread is a side) in one week.

That hasn’t been true in my experience. If anything leaving it out on the counter makes it get stale (and worse, moldy) much faster, whereas i can leave a loaf in the fridge for a month or two and it will be perfectly fine.
