So, how was your day? - Page 2

If the customer had submitted one change with 9 mods and one or more of the mods proved to be impossible or inadvisable, would you have rejected the whole change with the possibility of the other mods getting lost in the shuffle?
I've seen that happen in a manufacturing context.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!

Different for most of our customers, but in this case, we'd just email the person and ask WTF; and they'd say, no just go ahead with the rest, and we'll figure the bogus one out later.

It's a big help when you can talk to or at least text the right person.

Well, dang. Minifob is off to his first overnight school trip. Mr. Clod is a semi-chaperone*, so everything should go off without a hitch. But I was excited to have a few girls-only days with Minifobette. She and I ate dinner early (normally we don't eat until 7:45 or so, after Mr. Clod gets home) so we could watch a movie even though it was a school night.

Except we forgot to remove the dinnertime pill that makes her super sleepy and save it for bedtime. So she just passed out on the couch 90 minutes early instead. Oh well. Hopefully we'll remember tomorrow.

*For legal reasons our school does not allow parent chaperones. However, for legal reasons they also have a stick up their butt about medications, which Minifob takes a shit ton of. So everyone agreed that if Mr. Clod just happens to be standing nearby and administers medication to his own child, the staff doesn't have to go through the rigamarole of having everything in its original container, etc.

Sappy girly movie?

Clodfobble · 05-17-2019, 06:56 AM

John Mulaney stand-up special, actually. She's a fan.

I should have known.

The ladies here appreciate him as well. I can’t say I completely get it.

You may not have heard this bit...

and if you really want to visualize the experience portrayed above....

Gravdigr · 05-17-2019, 10:09 AM

I'm currently sampling an older John Mulaney special off NetFlix, and he doesn't sound as much like Katherine Hepburn as he did in the other (newer) one I saw.

I just Wiki'd him so I could spell his name right, and looked at his wife's page:

Quote:

Annamarie Starr Tendler Mulaney...is an American makeup artist, bicyclist, writer, photographer, and lampshade designer.

I don't reckon there'll be any confusion with any other Annamarie Starr Tendler Mulaneys.

Greatest Tom Jones story I've ever heard. Best Mulaney bit, too.

Some morning dj's (Bob and Tom maybe) edited all the "cat"s from What's New Pussycat, IIRC it was somewhat funny.

I've got a week off to hang with the fam. I just moved a shit ton of firewood to a good spot for splitting. Is a sunny day so I'll get a ride in. Good day thus far.

This day is already shot right in the fucking head. I do not know a single person that can make a plan for more than 15 minutes into the future and pull it off. Not one. This is the last person I try to help, fuck 'em. All of 'em. I don't know anyone who isn't too fucking stupid to live. Everybody I know is just dumber than shit. How have these people lived this long? How on Earth do they get by being this fucking ignorant?

Help you? Fuck you. I'll help the next person that helps me. See how well that shit goes.

Want a ride? Sure, I'll give you a ride, $3 per mile. And get screwed if you don't like it, call a cab.

Goddamn, I hate people,
