My mad multitasking skillz is teh awesome.
Of course, if ever I have to repeat such a feat of multitasking amazingness again, someone’s gonna have to visit the responsible idiot in the ICU. Once again, our beloved documentation database has decided to take a rather fantastic crap. This one for like 2-3 hours. Not bad if I’ve … Read the rest

Dear ever so thoughtful employer.
Can you please go back to doing your freaking maintenance on systems and tools I’m forced to use in the process of doing my job at 3:00 in the bloody morning, like you used to do quite regularly when I worked graveyard? That’d be real nice right about now. No … Read the rest

Some people just deserve the brainless award. A girl at a Tim Hortons gave a free timbit to a toddler to stop them from throwing a fit in the store, and was promptly tossed for it. Um, customer service, anyone? She was, naturally, re-hired at a different location, but… blurg. … Read the rest
