Seight Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 If a restaurant like, hypothetically, let's say Little Caesars has a drive thru where your experience could be "order at the intercom, get to the window, pay, find out the food isn't ready yet, go inside the lobby, wait longer than quoted by the guy at the window while other people get their orders before you" maybe...they shouldn't have a drive thru window? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrose321 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I try not to discuss politics very often, it's just not a pleasant experience these days, what with everything being a circus. But the more I think about PSLF, the madder I get. The only reason we need it is because funding to nonprofits got cut, and is still getting cut year after year. That impacts wages, even for jobs that require degrees. They basically took away wages that were fairly earned, then shoved them into a bullshit "forgiveness" program so that hillbillies and rednecks could gripe/brag about "paying off someone's art degree" for them. But the math just ain't there. My last library job had to post openings with two wage bands - one for if you are new to the system, one for if you were grandfathered into the previous, far better contract. This is decided not on years of experience, workload, success rate, etc. It's purely whether you've been in the library for long enough. You just gotta be old. Not only did we lose benefits but we also lost, I shit you not, $10,000 a year. PSLF takes at least 10 years. Ignoring any CoL increases on top of a higher wage or potential promotions, that's $100,000 pre-tax that we've been denied. PSLF doesn't end up forgiving anywhere near that. It's a net loss. On top of that, we get to hear Boomers bitching about "paying for our mistakes" when they STILL OWE US MONEY. To make it even worse, we paid THOUSANDS more in tuition, we commute significantly further because CoL is too high, and we often end up doing more work because we're better with technology. We take the shit shifts because our contracts don't limit them anymore and, frankly, working in nonprofits is an exercise in patience, at best. I'll never go back, you can't take me alive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_annoying_one Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) I’m pretty hungry but I don’t really have anything worth eating in my house. So, I was just gonna order whatever to get me by. That is, until I realized we’re about to get a rough thunderstorm for the next 2 hours. I don’t like sending delivery drivers out in this shit. Dilemmas…..

Gemini Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I appreciate the fact you listened to me when we signed back up with the internet service you had before we got this one.

[classic swim] Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Really fucking annoying how many months have 30 days instead of 31. Like come the fuck on just add the other day. 31 days always feels like 10 when you have a landlord. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_annoying_one Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I ordered a single pizza for myself because I just didn’t feel like cooking. Just a few minutes before it gets here, I get some unexpected company. They proceed to eat most of my pizza before I have a chance to protest, then have the audacity to complain that I didn’t get the toppings they wanted. What in the actual fuck is going on in my life?! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I found out yesterday that one of my favorite old stores is going to close for good June. Since I know I won't likely get back there for any last minute sales, I went today. Artisanal soaps, tea, a pair of socks with a swear on them, cat nip toys, a pack of sandalwood incense that my friend's apartment used to smell like. One last sit in the wooden booth in the back - it was the last place we all gathered together in one spot. One married [ but at least still lives in the area, our schedules just conflict ], one went to Canada to be treated for mental illness properly and without going into debt, one went crazy period, and one died. I feel like I'm the only one left in the group and now even the places we hung out are going to be gone. Already feeling miserable, I wanted to grab McD's on the way home only to find out that that particular McD's has been torn down and is now an empty lot. So tired of soup. I wanted medicinal fries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll click it for the weird little alien musclemen in their Chippendale collars, that's why! And yes, I have no idea why it takes literally 15 minutes for a payment to be processed but a week to get a refund. It should be the equivalent of a reversed charge.

[classic swim] Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 They permabanned my guy yesterday lol.

The_annoying_one Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 More TV woes. Was finally able to pick my TV up from the shop today. Got it home and….I don’t have a power cord, even though I’m pretty sure I didn’t give it to them. The repairman said they’d supply a new cord when I picked it up but they didn’t. I have to go back tomorrow morning and get it. I am so done with this fucking bullshit…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, don't let me bother you *Contemplating saying too late* it's ok. *Storms off to bother some other poor soul, sitting alone* She was a passably attractive female, and 10 years ago I would have took a shot, but these days....just leave me alone, pls. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 All these dillweeds grasping at straws talking about how Lebron James is "better" than Michael Jordan. (He's not.) For context, there's this graphic detailing all of the years MJ didn't win the title. On said graphic, it has the year 1994 listed. Now fot those who know, he had retired before the 1993-94 season. I point this out, and the guy who posted the graphic says it means the 1994-95 season. Talk about grasping at straws, right? So I point out that it would say '95 instead. He then doubles down and responds with stupidity at its finest. (Also, the person who made the graphic, for whatever reason, chose to make it listing the beginning years of each season in question instead of the ending years of each season, which is what you're supposed to do.) My comeback: "Admitting it is the first step, sir. Good for you." Recency bias is real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Shackleford Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 One of my pet peeves as a cashier is when customers try to pay with a busted up ass card. Either the strip is completely fucked up then I have to type the numbers in manually or the numbers are faded or the card is completely falling apart. Is it really that much of an inconvenience to just simply order a new card? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
