All of the good ones did.

This is truth. Try hard is try hard though.
Fail of the day. Places that want a high school diploma, and then complain you give them a transcript instead.
My isd doesn't do diploma copies bit only takes a day to get the official transcript. This is the 2nd department that's asked for diploma and complained over the transcript being given instead.
Seriously strange. Anyone got any insight on to why?

my guess would be theyre lazy fucks.

Generally a transcript does not say whether or not you graduated just what classes you took would be my guess as to why. If you give them a transcript they have to go through the whole thing and see if you completed all the required course work. If they see a diploma then they don't have to do as much work they just know you took and passed all the required course work.

I am assuming this is for job applications? They might be lazy fucks or they are so swamped with other applicants they do whatever they can to streamline the process. If this is for a college application then I don't know what the heck is going on there because most colleges I know are the opposite and want a transcript but don't care about the diploma.

It's for a police academy. Transcripts show graduation date, as does a diploma and will show class rank and such.
Even though i fcked off in school and should probably rather not let them see my grades, i don't have any other choice. Can't get another diploma cause I'm sure i used it as firewood the day after graduation.
Who'da thunk I'd need it now.

Give them exactly what they ask for, and only what they ask for when it comes to the academy process.

This, they will dig up shit you wouldn't even think about. I completely forgot about a fight I got into when I was 12yo cause the guy's dad decided an MRI was medically necessary after i whacked his son with a whiffle ball bat when he tried to beat up my little brother, then tried to sue us, and that came up on my background check. And this was for a civilian position.

Contact your school and see if they can reissue a diploma. I know of a few people in the past that have gotten replacement ones after their originals had been damaged. It could just be a local thing, but you'd think educational institutions would be able to do that for it's alumni.

So I was in my Linux class tonight, and someone had a syntax error they called the "instructor" (I use that as a VERY loose term) over. As I looked over I saw he had a random "!" in a config file before a command. So the instructor says "that was just a nut on the keyboard is all".

I slowly tilt my head and turn with a (seriously.jpg) look on my face and say "nutted on the keyboard, huh?" and got back a "yeah, that is what they call it. At least I call it that". to which I laughed and said personally I try to avoid getting a nut on the keyboard, and ask if he even knows what that means (he is not an old guy). I then made a "bleeeuhkk" noise with a slight simultaneous closed fist to open hand gesture to illustrate the point.

Spoiler: show

I'm glad to see someone's stepping up their game now that Mazmaz is gone.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2015-05-05 12:01

I never really saw his posts that often so Mazmaz references are over my head.

**Zetanio** · 2015-05-05 12:38

I have forever name changes. PM me breh.

**zoobernut** · 2015-05-05 13:33

Mazmaz replacement? More Mazmaz than Mazmaz. I got nothing right now but I like the idea.

**AidenCarby** · 2015-05-05 13:37

Tbh he's just dumber, not as appalling to read his posts as Mazmaz's were though.

So, since today is May 5th we promptly had catering from the local Mexican hideout aka "The old train station" (it has no name) delivered and then everyone figured it would be a good time to drink at work.

The boss described himself at "Cheap Date" in regards to his tolerance.
Anyway, everyone had margaritas except for me because I opted for the "I am not a woman give me the bottle". So I sat with my cutesy owl mug (hoot hoot!) with Tequila and watched as everyone got talkative and giggly. After the story about the naked women on the jet skis and some details of private lives. Someone then looks over and goes "Hey don't you have a meeting with Chase bank soon?" to Bob.

"Yeah, don't drink Ryan!"
-_-

Too late
