your printer works?!

I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked. After all, I remember this case:

Kane lives in death!

During a previous assignment, I was told that during the summer period I was going to be swamped with work, and I was asked, because I don’t have kids, not to take a vacation in that period.
So I didn’t and told them that I would take my vacation after the summer holiday period, in October. I told them this in May.

The summer period comes around, and it was the slowest period I had ever encountered. There was literally nothing for me to do. Meanwhile the project manager and a number of other people in my team, who had small kids, did take time off in the summer period. By the time it was October, the work had picked up again, and they complained that I was going to be on vacation in that period. The manager called me not a team player. I just told them that I held the fort when they told me to, and that I had communicated this vacation well ahead of time. They had had their relax time, now it was time for me.

I agree, I don’t want to make things harder for my team members, but within reason. And what they asked of me wasn’t reasonable.

So where do you live, who’s your employer and what’s your salary? Oh and what’s your mother’s maiden name? Which primary school did you go to?

Some people prefer not to hurt their own privacy.
Bon appetit with your tree. I’ll expect to see “[deleted]” soon.

Also stop using the acronym, because it’s too easy to forget what those letters mean when just the acronym is being used. Call it “Paid Time Off”.

it’s not fun to stay at the MLCA…

Grindr always reports a spike in usage whenever the RNC convenes. Being gay or in a queer relationship sadly doesn’t mean that the person isn’t far right. They might just be self-loathing.

UK is North Korea of the West’s little brother.

They are extremely stupid, ignorant, gullible, and malleable If the media pulled out all the stops, they could convert them easily.

Except that MAGA is immune to facts and logic. It’s all Fox News/OANN/AmericaFirst or whatever that thing from Steve Bannon is called.

I’ll try to be civil and will ask clarifying questions.

However, as soon as I see someone both-sides-ing, I block them.
Ain’t got no time for their “can’t we all just get along, kumbaya” centrist bullshit anymore. No we can’t “just get along”, the overton window has gone too far to the right for that.
You have actual Nazis running shit now, or attempting to run things in other nations.

We need to fight them, the time for “understanding” is over.
