Fail of Your Day

It gets better, reached out to support and apparently it’s a known issue. They have a work around that fixed it, but no before they berated me for applying a software update too quickly.

My wife works for the Yorktown-Jamestown Historical Foundation as a supervisor in their gift shop. Today some lady came in and started freaking out and screaming at one of the other employees, and when my wife went to see what the fuss was about the lady turned on her and started screaming about how the foundation were leftist commies for having a section of the museum dedicated to colonial slavery and how “slavery was a liberal lie put out by the commie leftist government until Trump came to fix things, and that they are ignoring white oppression which is the REAL oppression and how dare they even mention slavery around children.” She did this in front of a group of elementary school kids on a field trip and had to be escorted out by two security guards.

That feeling in your stomach when you’re interviewing for a new position and you know you completely botched one of the questions they asked you, and you can only hope that your other answers make up for it…

Don’t worry, mate. With interviews, they know you’re nervous. It’s always more about how you answer, than what you answer, I’m sure you’ll be fine.

There’s a big tournament in Tokyo next month where I could test for rank in the martial art I do (and get to borrow a $10,000 sword for a few days), but the flights are $1200. Plus, if I don’t pass the test, I don’t think I would be allowed to test again when the judges come to visit the US in August.

I think you’re right about not being able to do the test this summer. At least for kendo, if you fail the test, you have to wait a year to retake it.

I’m freaking tired and I don’t know why. :sleeping:

Once in an MRI, they let me pick a radio station to play through my headphones. It’s never happened again. Why is it not the norm? It is so dull.

I had a calming waterfall but it just made me need the loo.

Mine just played the sounds of screaming.

I’d want a podcast. People short-form talking about stuff I’m interested in is my active listening and my background noise.

I woke up to a puddle covering about 1/3 of my kitchen, Turns out there was a tiny crack in a shutoff valve under the sink that had been leaking for at least several hours.


No major damage thankfully. Every time I have to deal with plumbing I’m amazed at how poorly standardized everything is.

When I was still working for Lowe’s I DREADED having to cover the plumbing department. Poorly standardized? How about not standardized at all. Seriously, nothing ever matches and especially older buildings are FULL of patched together repairs on various kinds of copper, plastic, and PVC pipe.

The last person to make a repair in that old house was too lazy to tear it all out, and so are you. And thus, it will be even worse for the next person for as long as the house shall stand.

Not me, I fix things correctly when I discover the problem or hire someone who will if I can’t.

Go for it!

Also, good luck.
