My agency at work recently went full electronic time sheets , awesome makes it easier. Except that most pay periods we have request off or overtime cards that are hard copies that are required to be turned in to get paid. So instead of just letting us email them over we have to attach them to a new form and have it sent over. Except we don't have access to our own scanner or drive so we basically have to turn it in to our Sgt. and have them do it. So dumb..

So was on stupid flight back was organizing vacation photos on phone and saw a button for freeing up space. Well I could use some more space on phone so click it expect to go to another menu or something since it doesn't really say what exactly it does and had seen the same button before and it previously had shown me duplicates to pick and choose to get rid of. Nope it just starts going without even a confirmation deleting photos off my phone that it says had been backed up. Doesn't even let me stop once it starts even turning phone off started it back up again. Weird considering I didn't really have back up and sync on but ok I'll just restore it later. Now looking around the menus and online can't find anything that says how I just restore that shit back. The stupid thing they say about accessing it on phone basically is just redownloading it... yay since I had it all organized and shit. Extra fun since some are still on phone for some reason and it seems I have to redownload them individually... then find where my phone puts them so I can grab them back to where I can view them with all my others and reorganize them... joy. Looks like I have an options on browser to do it all at once though so yay for that I guess

Someone at work thought it would be perfectly fine tying up our main Konica with an 1100 copy job and not tell anyone to use the other smaller konica's temporarily.

One of the best days of my working life at my old job was when we put cost limits on printers/copiers. I remember staff was told they would be limited on how many copies they would be able to make in one year. We based the number on the average use of our top 20 users, then gave a 10% increase buffer. Meaning, this shouldn't impact 99% of the users, as they didn't overuse resources.

Within the 1st week, our top user ran out of copies. She throws a fucking fit outside my office (I didn't have to deal with her directly, but i could hear her). She was told by the director she could have more copies if she went to the board that told them why she used printed more paper in the 1st week than everyone else uses in a year.

Still brings a smile to my face.

We primarily work digitally when drafting construction documents, but when senior staff members want to review and "red line" the drawings they somehow need to print a full drawing set (24"x36") instead of using our PDF editing software . . . Its disgusting how much waste there often is.

My old firm would require us to charge our prints and copies to a client's job number, so it was rarely used in order to keep the budget as tight as possible.

[Tokitoki]

I'm a PM for a contractor. I very rarely print drawings. It's required for some items to be sent stamped/sealed to the owner, but most things I do digital.

It's the downside to working with a government agency that does a lot of work within the public. I'm hoping it was a typo as the program deals with hospice service for those who may not have many or any living relatives, so that people don't have to die alone and they are a small program. Typically at most the jobs are below 200 unless it's for something school based and people get approval first.

I threw out my back somehow in my sleep last night. The muscles in the middle of my back feel all weak and wobbly and it is super painful. I hate this.

I threw out my back a few days ago sleeping as well and have been in agony since. Chiropractor Friday and they want to charge me a $40 co-pay and a $68 one-time fee for some bullshit. I'm pissed and in pain.

This happened yesterday. I was scheduled to attend a conference seminar for continuing education. The location was "Hamburger University, Chicago IL". So me, the smart person I am, know that it's just down the street from my office. What i didn't know was that they REALLY meant the other one in the west suburbs an hour away. I had to book it in an uber and was still late.

[Astylla]

I haven't thrown my back out sleeping but occasionally if I sleep too long in one position like curled in a ball my back has been killing me. I suffer from a lot of nightmares so I can twist and turn a lot without knowing it.

I have found putting a blanket between my legs or knees helps however.

Some THC:CBD oil and advil helped me sleep better last night. Back is feeling a little bit less tight today. Getting old sucks! Plus it is really hard to be patient with the kids when my back hurts so bad. Not to mention the fact that my wife is pregnant so her hips and lower back are in a lot of pain right now too. We were both hobbling around the house last night.

I used to get stiff necks all the time which suck but are less inhibiting than having the muscles tight lower down on the back. This feels kinda like a stiff neck but in the middle of my back.

Keep moving and try to force yourself to move normally even if it hurts. It will go away much quicker than if you change your movement to avoid any pain

Yeah definitely this. If I sit in one position or lie down for too long or even stand for too long it gets more stiff and I have a harder time moving but if I move around it starts to loosen up. Thanks for the reminder.

Been sick with a cold since Saturday, it’s been a miserable past few days, but today I’m feeling better and on the mend then I get that feeling—I think we all can feel it—of a cold sore forming on my lip. Noooooooo. The worst.

[Ksandra]

Are you ready to feel a little better about your own problems?

My school partners with the local community college so students can take college courses in hs for free.

Found out today the dean at the college was stabbed to death by her own father last week. Holy shit.

Another train suicide this time woman brought her dogs. Check the comments section and people are saying it's all about safety precautions or shut the train down to "fix" this... in the comment section of an article about a person who ducked under the crossing guards, looked at the train and then jumped in front of it <.<.

[Byrthnoth]

I know that suicidal people aren't thinking clearly and/or don't care, but suicide by train really is one of the least considerate ways to off yourself.
