It might not seem like a big deal, but it matters. It's a standard that service people are held to, it elevates them when in uniform, that they're being held to a high standard when they wake up in the morning and put on their uniform. So when she goes on national TV and fucks up something as simple as her tag and ribbon placement, it speaks volumes even if she obviously (probably) didn't mean to do it.

It falls under the umbrella of "man that's fucked up. I'm not gonna waste my time going on and on about it, but just so were clear I think that's fucked up".

Yeah its pretty obvious we have a lot of folks who've never been in the uniformed services
It's a big deal to them, and she should have known better.
I was in the Boy scouts and her uniform totally bothers me too. Either she put on her flair while it was on the bed and not actually on her body, and or she was super nervous about being in front of thousands of people. I don't think the military trains people in how to deal with a stadium of people.
Yeah I'm sure it wasn't malicious, but damn girl cmon da fuck you doing? I see those stripes on your sleeve, you shoulda known better.
It's cool tho, I'm sure she'll report back to work the next day and her team is gonna give her shit about it for weeks lol.

In a way. But it's part of the job. Every job has things an outsider would laugh at. And appearances matter in how the public receives you and that's very important for any large organization. People equate sloppy looks (and yes that is what this represents) to sloppy work and lack of professionalism. Most importantly this is what is drilled into as being expected and uniform adherence to rules is pretty big deal for the most part in the military. Should've known better never gunna live it down honestly not sure how no one pointed it out before then.... unless they don't like her lol
Quit my job at the beginning of the month. Just realized that using auto-fill for online applications was putting my old work number as my home phone.
Got a new set of irons off eBay for a steal earlier today after failing or coming up short with bids and offers for a week. Was so thrilled about it I started tossing bids around on other parts of my golf bag that I wanted to start replacing.
Welp now I'm out about one grand and even replaced the fucking bag and am going to check out some new shoes and gloves tomorrow. Whoops.
Why for fuck's sake does Chrome allow me to delete a folder with hundreds of bookmarks without giving me so much as a prompt to confirm that I actually want to delete it? Goddamnit.
Take the day off to attempt to file a petition at the courthouse. Probate officer said self help is Mon Tues Thurs. Apparently the self help clinic is only for Monday and I probably have to take another day off to file the paperwork. Ugh.
I don't even have a folder for those, think I've got 2 porn-related bookmarks tops. Actually was my folder for sales listings I use to keep track of sold out stuff that may reappear in various shops. Had a recent check on all sites, so fortunately, I had a very clean listing of all sites in there in my browser history, but still took some time to fix it.
Went to the local State professional licensing office in Chicago this afternoon to process my application for an architect's license. Turns out they can only do that down in Springfield so I have to ship my application and application fee down there. That was my lunch break![]()
Just found out a restaurant supply store like a couple blocks from me is having their annual big sale this weekend. While it's mostly for restaurants it can also be great for just home kitchens or getting some cheap extras of like silverware sets and such. Sales are generally great and they usually do a cookout of free food like pizza, brats, burgers etc.
And I'll be out of town all weekend. I mean granted I'm going to a beer and bacon fest and then partying around SF area but still bummed
Currently waiting in Toronto for a 10:30 flight because the delay in laguardia made me and the wife miss our connection by 3 fucking minutes and they wouldn't open the doors for us. Fuck Westjet
I keep checking my phone for email or missed call (phone on silent) from the job interview.
A watched pot never boils but I can't say much as I keep checking my email and online job status board so many times a day waiting for an update on my job promotion status. Word is they are waiting until June to take everyone at once which makes sense but fuck this waiting is agony.
