Check your entitlement. The belief on the part of USians that "the customer is always right" is the reason nobody wants to work in retail any longer. That florist doesn't owe you a smile or pleasantries. He has as much of a r

I work the graveyard shift, babysitting a rack of servers that do batch processing for a state government's means-tested benefits programs overnight. I monitor the batches, handle deployments, and install OS patches. I do a maximum of

Are we supposed to believe Instagram isn't a virtual sacrifice zone for people who aren't teenage girls? Social media is inherently toxic because that what happens when a bunch of undersocialized techies with no grasp of psycholog

The lack of a home page and an about page is a bug, as far as I'm concerned. And nobody posts here without hoping to go viral.

I think it's unacceptable that I immediately get shunted to a login page. You're assuming people want to join before they've had a chance to look around. You don't even have an about page, do you?

Don't make more of your job than it is. Give your effort, but not your heart. Show up, do the job, and get paid. Don't get any more involved than you have to be. The job won't love you back, aandyou are not your job.

Make it 14 days and I'd call that my last vacation. I spent most of it partying like it was 1999. I read books on paper. I listened to heavy metal albums on CD. I talked to people in person. I got more sleep. I chilled the fuck out and

I certainly hope so. Programming is a shit job, and shit jobs should be done by robots, not people. People deserve better than to spend their adult lives working shit jobs.

When companies buy other companies, they create consolidation in their respective markets. This isn't good for customers or for workers. https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2019/08/29/busin
