Random Fail FWP Thread 2: Something, Something, Your Mother's a Whore.

[Mayareira]

It appears that you really dodged a bullet. In fact, you’d never marry or consider a longer term relationship with her judging from what you’ve written. Years have passed and you (both of you) were simply waiting for “something” to finish it.

The thing is, our lizard part of brain gets so used to the comfort of having someone, regardless how shitty the relationship is, and reacts in a primitive way the moment we lose it. Day will come not far from now that you will be grateful that it ended.

To cope with the short term shitty feeling the best remedy is to focus on self development.

Do’s:

- hit the BG Fitness thread. Lifting is a very good, high quality seratonine source
- taking long walks also help, eases, calms mind. + the fitness aspect
- Read. Lot’s of quality material out there that will teach you how to go through adversities. Also very helpful in your future life and career.
- Casually meet new people not to start a relationship but simply to build relationships. Aim to enhance your friendbase.

Don’t
- Play too much MMORPG. Much better to start them with a healthy mind.
- No booze. It is a natural depressant. Short term relief for long term super-shitty feeling.
- Rely on others too much. Be positive near your friends, emotions are contagious and honestly, talking too much to the others about the failed relationship doesn’t provide any relief other than an instantaneous energy discharge.
- Dwell on how good/bad she is, you were simply incompatible nothing more. Don’t give a further fuck. Stuff you’ve learned + the way you cope will make you a much better, powerful partner in your next relationship.
- Fap too much.

I just started watching Star Trek Discovery and I went on the show’s Wikipedia page to see if a character was played by an actor that I thought it was, and the wiki just has spoilers fucking everywhere with no warning. It’s like [Actor] portrays [Character], who [insert spoiler here]. Like damn fam I was only on episode 3 chill with that shit.

IMDB?

So yeah, no clue why updating BIOS completely bricked W10 but here we are. Spent all of last night and since 6 am today (and counting) getting everything set back up. I still have some programs to download and what not but the biggest problem is, who'd of guessed, FFXI. 6 1/2 hours to download. I don't even know why I'm bothering.

It won't take 6.5 hours, promise.

you had me until this

IMDB?

I try to avoid IMDB cause their site layout is pretty awful. But I can say they haven’t spoiled me on anything. I’ll have to remember them for the future.

So I've made mention about my silly workplace and what not. Well, today the boss was, as my coworker put it, pms'ing all over the place. I was last in today so I missed it but I guess he was going on about how the office is set up and how clutter is everywhere. He then was super pissed our plow guy didn't plow even though he instructed plow guy to only plow if there is 1 1/2 standing snow. There is not.

The crazy part was my two coworkers who normally don't give a shit because they aren't paying attention to work were actually bitching about boss man after he left. I was like, wait, y'all are for the first time openly bitching about him? Whoa. Sounds like this is sort of a win yeah? No it's a fail because nothing will change and the next day will be the same.

I’m in the process of firing someone and it takes forever for legal reasons and I’m miserable.

[Byrthnoth]

I was involuntarily promoted to manager about six months ago and I hate it.

[Buffy]

I took it for all the good reasons and I’m glad I did but I have two people that have to go and the hoops/documentation you have to jump through to fire someone at one of the largest companies in the world is truly staggering. This person has been in the process of getting fired for over a year and now I’m the third manager of his guiding the process. I want to hurt myself.

This is interesting to hear because I currently wonder how/why my coworker who is basically super terrible still has a job. On one hand it's because my boss hates confrontation. On the other, is it just too much of a hassle.

I estimate the total productivity of the part of the business my team is responsible for will go up 5-10% with these two less people because we don’t have to spend time explaining things they already know and fixing their mistakes. But it’s a super time consuming process

[Byrthnoth]

Average employee lifespan for my position is under a year at the moment, it takes about six months to become competent, and some people never get there but also aren't removed because we are understaffed.

So removing deadwood at big companies might be hard, but it can also be hard at small companies for a different set of reasons.

I am starting to realize that the hardest part of any job is signing the contract.

My dude. You know we go way back in FFXI and we've met irl several times. If you want my contact number to just get shit out of your system, I'm a great listener. I went through a retarded assed breakup recently and it fucked me up a bit but I have exciting stuff to look forward to soon and I'm doing my best to stay positive. Seriously feel free to contact me if you need it. Plus I'm like 5% Ashkenazi Jew so we're practically family.

i did not know you were a jew, shoulda had you take me to fancy spots in your town instead of just the gaslight

Was feeling like I was getting sick a couple of weekends ago but after a couple. Cough super tired a little bit of congestion but nothing more and it was mostly gone after a day or 2. Except this weird raspy cough and some extra phlegm buildup still here. Shit is super annoying

edit: So my outlook at work has been getting this popups telling me I don't have access because wrong password or something.
Me: hey you mess with outlook recently
Boss: oh yeah forgot to tell you.
Me: you know that has to be changed for all computers not just yours right?
Boss: actually it's not in mine either because I already forgot the password
Me:..... why did you even change it?
Boss: well I was doing stuff on the internet and shiny object and was changing password on quickbooks (actually it isn't) and shiny object so changed that yeah...
Me: …. you explained no actual reason

Would have been hilarious if it were ransomware instead.

[dasva]

Don't tempt me. I've already caught him trying to enter info in on obvious ransomware thinking it was legit stuff from microsoft

[Kalmado]

This windows reinstall has been an absolute nightmare. For whatever reason I'll randomly get freezes when clicking the start menu or using the search box. I tried reinstalling FFXV that I bought from the Microsoft Store (don't ever buy from there) and I cannot log into my account getting "we experienced an error" and it says my windows store cache is damaged. Have spent about three hours trying to troubleshoot this mess and nothing works. Just gonna do a format and reinstall of w10, again, I guess. fml.

[synistar]

At work writing notes to 5S (L E A N B O I S) an excel file to clean out the junk and errorproof a file. Tell Supervisor that he will need to do the clean up with respect to my notes. Says I should do it and reinforces the write access I have on file. I reply that it's outside my responsibility scope to amend data. Pushes further. I retort again that he should promote me to give me more responsibility. He replies that he will talk to the team leads; translation - I don't want to do the work.

Sigh I have a team skip meeting with the department director (2 management levels up) and this furthers my ammunition towards how ineffective my supervisor is.
