Take it back and get a K95 w/ browns if you do a lot of typing.

Emilia Clarke walks like a monkey.

That was the joke.

Well, unless you're Shireen, then it would have been a pretty big deal.

I dunno, "A dragon is not a slave" was pretty fucking cool.

So, yeah, if I stream Twitch at max res on my desktop, while my laptop is on the work VPN doing encrypted tunnelly things over the VPN, my modem will just shit itself and go unresponsive soon afterwards. Probably time to get a new modem then? It can't be my router, right? Because I can...

lol. Scene was great.

I'm sure it happens slower in the books, because Dany chapters are always slow, but if you didn't know that was coming in the books then I don't know what series you've been reading. The only way she can be the true Khaleesi is to unite all of the Dothraki, and what better way to do that than...

This episode was almost all plot and no jokes.

I didn't like any of the Oceans movies, and I am a huge fan of heist movies. Why remake them?

If it's all hot chicks I'm totally down. If it's whales like McCarthy they can call it "Toss Her Back in the Oceans 11."

This modern open was fun to watch. I have almost all of the cards to build that URW Nahiri deck, in foil.

Oh that's nothing. I once got a very small mousepad in a box that was at least 2 feet by 3 feet.

I think I'll have to come back to this game when I'm not mentally exhausted from the grinding attention to minutiae of my job. It does seem like a cool game.

Like how Chromatic Lantern is a 9 dollar card instead of a 25 cent card?

Yeah, but it could also be 700-800 dollars.

AMD is getting schlonged on 2 fronts right now.

Avaya has tools to trace jitter on a station, but if you've got static on a specific station, it's usually just the handset or headset. Occam's Razor. If you've got static or jitter on only calls going out over a specific DS1, then it could be the board (or another board on the trunk that's...

I do tier 1 and 2 support for Avaya VOIP products and Oracle SBCs for 19 dollars an hour. Not rocket sorcery. Even when I do identify firewall rules or other network issues causing a problem, for 98% of our customers we can only offer advice on how to correct it, because they didn't buy...

And here's the OC performance so far...

Yeah, I mean, on one hand, I'm the first to admit that I am totally not cut out for this shit, purely from a culture standpoint. On the other hand, my ability to produce output is extraordinary, and I learn things very quickly. When I show up to work, I am there to work. I do not get...

Combat has been bad in Civ for a long time, it is just a production war. 1 UPT didn't make it any worse I don't think.

"Shitshow" is the word of the day pretty much every day around the service department. If don't hear the word "shitshow" once an hour it must be a good day. But sales keeps roping in new customers upper management has no plan to manage growth, so that is exactly how it's going to stay for a...

Not even close to the case. This is my first 'corporate' job though, for sure.

This is the only place where I've had an awful work experience. All the rest of my problems are just awful friends and family experiences. I've really enjoyed every other work experience I've had before this.

They said they're only allowed to give out raises in December, but the new advisement for what they can offer new hires changed in January. So that means every existing employee is fucked for the whole year, no matter how hard they work, and then when raises do come up, since it's a simple...

The best part about the EAP thing is they said that it can come with financial assistance, lol. I'd be fine if they'd just pay me what they're paying new hires. I'm not even asking to get promoted.

Is this game good? Forty dollars good?

That whole EAP thing is fucking ridiculous because my coworkers are all drug addicts and alcoholics. Every 'team building' event ever hosted by the company is just a bunch of people going and getting totally smashed on the company dime. Multiple people on other shifts have come up to me asking...

Contrary to what you might expect, I've spent most of my life mousy and quiet. I rarely speak when it isn't absolutely necessary. For once, I'd like to make some noise. The company handbook requests that a resignation letter be delivered to the CEO for all employees at all levels. By...

They literally made me sign up for a mandatory EAP on the same day that they gave me the quarterly award for my division, and specifically said 'this EAP not about job performance, and no disciplinary action has been taken, your coworkers are worried about you and emails were sent to...

Oh, I did. My boss and his boss both agreed with all of my points, and begged me to stay because they're having trouble getting continuity from competent people on the second and third shift. But then they said because of how department budgets are done, that any raise would have to wait for...

In number of hours worked, number of incidents handled, quality of communication on each incident handled, amount of administrative bullshit handled, etc, absolutely. There are definitely male members of my team who know more about networking/VOIP/SIP than I do, but not by a huge margin. And...

My point is, if I'm not going to get a raise on merit, what exactly is the point of being in the private sector when there's plenty of WAY easier jobs in the public sector for the same shit pay? Metrics wise, I am producing 3-4x the work of my peers, and received an award from upper...

The evil part of me wants to go to the free 3 sessions of therapy for the EAP, then stop going once I have to pay for it myself. Then I'll let them try to fire me for not complying with their mandatory EAP under no legal grounds. I'd make my discrimination case to HR then, then let them try to...

Why don't more companies make 25 inch 1440p monitors? 24 is too small, 27 is a bit too big.

Where do you work for Raytheon? Please tell me we're not neighbors.

Had a meeting with my boss and his boss. They said I couldn't get a raise until December, because raises are only given once a year, and I'm looking at 6% at best, despite the fact that I won an award that is basically impossible for a second or third shift person to achieve, given that it is...

I'm not going to disagree with some of your points. I will add that from what I've gathered, I was making the cap for the position, but that cap was changed internally by management when we were effectively down 7 people. They then strongly obligated me to work ~60 hour weeks during this...

It's a 6 month contract to hire, not a permanent position. And it's a whole new set of bullshit service processes to learn, in an field I don't want to be in anyway (help desk IT.) And it's a 60 mile commute instead of a 7 mile commute. OT would not be remote either. So there's definite...
