The Cream Soda Getting Laid Fund is a very prestigious charity dating all the way back to 2016.

I would like to reiterate that I had nothing to do with that. Got the PM's to prove it.

Can't finish my taxes cause I'm waiting on one W2. It's for a 73 dollar check I get every year for about 2-3 more years as deferred comp from a previous employer and I need their stupid state employer ID

If you get this every year, it shouldn't be a problem since its the same number as last year...

[Melena]

I can't find last years and turbo tax didn't pull it up like in previous years

Feel like watching an old anime. Turns out you can legally stream it free.
FWP #1: Only the first few episodes are available subbed, the rest of the season is free only in dubbed version, have to subscribe if you want the subbed version.

Go looking around. The only "other means" copies to be found are from a group that ripped subs from the DVD. But they didn't rip the subtitles, they ripped the dubtitles (subtitles based on the dub script).
FWP #2: The show is old enough you basically can't get it from alternate sub groups / dvd .iso / there are no seeds.

So wake up sun is shining looks like it's going to be a good day. 30 minutes later completely overcast. Fuck you weather. Manage to make it most the way to work with only light drizzle so not so bad... and then I start hitting every red light. Clearly a bad sign... few minutes later it starts downpouring for the last mile of my ride.

I owe money when I should have been getting a refund because I discovered today my company has had me listed this entire year as having 2 dependents.

Unless they mean my dog and cat that's not something I can actually claim on my taxes.

Why is it so difficult for people to compose thought out email responses instead of a few word answers that do not actually answer my question forcing me to email back AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING I JUST ASKED.

I fucking hate this shit.

[Zetanio]

Not sure. Need resp ASAP

[Roranora]

Well Astylla as a society we are tired, dehydrated, over-caffeinated, only moderately educated, increasingly distracted, burdened with mental health issues and anxieties, crippled by an inability to focus and thus to genuinely listen, learn, and understand, and lastly, clearly, painfully inept at the most basic and mundane office communications.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just stopped fixing all the fuck ups that people in my sales department make and just let their mistakes make it all the way down the line. I'm sure customers and clients would be upset and the company would look bad. Ideally, it would clue the boss in that people are fucking up and I'm valuable because I fix their fuck ups, but more realistically it'd just end up costing me my job because sales can never do wrong. Ever.

At fucking 6 am this shredding truck decides to go to work literally 20 feet from my apartment for 30 minutes. Looking it up this looks like it would've technically been beyond noise ordinances even in the middle of the day for the area but definitely for that early.

I hope you tell them about the mistakes.

I've been working for the same company for almost 6 years and only 2 weeks ago was I told that something I was doing for billing was incorrect and I was overcharging. The partner here used to review the billing, but he was cut out after he broke contract and some other guy took over. Apparently neither of them wanted to tell me the mistake and just let it go. Then I get the new guy complaining to the owner that bills are coming back cut down because I'm billing incorrect rates.

Problem is, as I said, nobody told me in 6 years. Also, this new guy is clearly not reviewing the bills as he should be before he sends them out. He's supposed to review the bills with the back up before it gets sent out. Now he's complaining that he doesn't have time to do that, but for the life of me I can't actually tell you what he does. He doesn't negotiate contracts or contract additions, he doesn't review the bills before sending them in, when the corrections/comments come back he doesn't tell us, and he has a peon doing the re-bills because the guy can barely use Excel.

I have to come up with pricing for contract additions, I have to talk to the clients about the pricing and negotiate, I have to get the agreements signed and returned, I do all the billing every month, and now I have been given the task of tracking down extra back up to give the clients when they disagree with billing. What the hell does this guy do and does he realize he's making his position completely unnecessary?

I'm basically stuck at damage control when sales promises everything then being in service have to make it happen or be the bad guy, ugh.

I'm typically able now to say the buck stops here and make them realize that shit isn't okay to do but they are the worst communicators ever. Oh lets email at 8pm even though we know everyone leaves at 6pm for an appointment TOMORROW AT 9am. Yeah that never goes well.

A couple hours after Astylla found last years W2 from Fry's, I went to take my meds and saw this year's sitting sealed in it's envelope on the microwave...........

Quote from my coworker's email from our supervisor:
"Fine.
Thanks.

No clarification with further instructions.

I can't handle the stupid , seriously it fucking makes me rage. Specifically this morning the email in question was addressing a manager in regards to checking if a specific vendor we work with to see when he would be here. His only response " He's not here this week."

SIGH so then I go ahead and make said appointment with guest for next week and tell him if they vendor isn't available I'll contact personally. Two minutes after I get off phone of course I get a reply to original question which should have been answered originally.

This whole process took 45 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. And that was only the first hour of my day lol.

Think quickbooks just hates my computer specifically. Look up random customer it autocompletes even can go to that customers invoice but I try to do anything and it claims that customer doesn't exist and needs to add it to the list but then says it can't because it already exists... but doesn't as well. Wont even let me close out of it or the program itself without making new customer for it... but only does these things on my computer.

Fuck it it's been bugging me for update so maybe that will help. Update mine and bosses computer. Mine takes twice as long and then when it's done says it needs to restart while bosses nope ready to go.
