Random fail on my part, saw a Frozen avatar on the last post and was like "Why is Aks talking to herself?"

This made me lawl.

Though to be fair - both our names start with an "A" and the and the frozen avatar thing. At least I made mine different in some way lol and added in a signature.
But never changing my name - Has been my druid's name since WoW came out and am way too attached and I am admittedly obsessed with Elsa lol.

Lol well I do talk to myself quite a lot, just not on BG. XD

**Abandon** · 2014-06-19 19:49

that's debatable

Why the fuck do I have strep throat / the flu in the middle of summer. Only thing worse than being in the heat is being hot and miserable.

Real fail ...

I'm in school but I just got an email saying my student loan payment is due ...

Um, no........

Edit: Win though, they were able to fix that up for me pretty quickly. I do hate how disorganized Sallie Mae is sometimes though.

25 years for loan forgiveness. I've made it 5 years so far without making one loan payment. Keep deferring. Credit takes a hit, and they did seize my last tax refund for loan payments. 20 more years to go...

I love screenshotting the desktop, deleting all icons and making the screenshot the new desktop background to co-workers.

I got a great reminder of how idiotic the company I work for can be. My supervisor did a performance evaluation, said he would have given me a perfect review if he was allowed, but they're not supposed to give anyone a perfect score on any evaluation.

Did this to a software QA guy recently. Blew his fucking mind. He had to ask several people what was going on.

...he didn't last very long at the company.

Works even better when you set up the taskbar to autohide and include it as part of the screenshot. "WTF, I can't even click on Start!"

Mine does the same. No one's allowed to get a 5/5 rating, so we were only allowed 4/4. THEN it turns out that we're not allowed to get 4/4 anymore... So every single person who isn't management looks like their productivity has been declining. It's bullshit.

Where I worked, we were rated on a scale of 1-5, where 3 is meeting expectations. this means that you will get mostly 3s, maybe a 4, and never a 5.

One of the categories was completing your timesheet. Seriously. If you did it, you got a 3. It did not matter how prompt you did it. You could do it hourly and it is still a 3.

Did I mention that your bonus is based partially on that score?

We pulled so many pranks when I worked at EA. On top of doing this, one day we decided to flip this guys background 180 degree's so everything was upside down, then promptly turned everything, including his monitor and every other thing on his desk and cubicle wall upside down.

Another time he pissed me off bragging about his counterstrike skills, so I popped the ball out of his mouse, wrapped it quickly in scotch tape then put it back in.

Another time we took two different supervisor's filing cabinets and switched them, then laughed for the next 30 minutes when they got pissed off their keys were not working.

dont forget the coversheets on your TPS reports

**Siccmade** · 2014-06-20 14:37

Off a bit too much Christian Brothers brandy with some friends last night, signed up/paid for a Tough Mudder run in August.

I've been sober more than 3 weeks, first time getting drunk and I make life decisions... Oh well, it'll be fun if I don't die.

Free & Cold is my favorite beer, especially during work...

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2014-06-20 16:20
