I believe there’s still a system of tubes somewhere

I do a fair bit of freelance and also access a lot of client networks remotely or using their hardware. I have my own licence for ms365 as well on my own hardware.

Teams just doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing. It holds on to old accounts from years ago but doesn’t recall my own, active account. It behaves in the app sometimes but a lot of the time the browser option is the only viable way. It can’t work out that I have a webcam most of the time.

Almost all meetings I have begin with me being 2-3 minutes late and messaging them that teams is being a fuck. And they all laugh knowingly, because everyone literally expects it.

It is the buggiest most unpredictable piece of shit that I have to use almost daily, and almost exclusively with government clients who often have their own weird on prem custom version. I hate it with every atom in my body.

Sportsball is kinda a shit term - you don’t have to like sports and yes society venerates it over far more important achievements/pursuits, but it’s a bit childish to refer to it in that way.

My theory is that a lot of that kind of poor behaviour is generally from men who have grown up with the toxic masculinity traits of believing that sad is bad, angry is manly. I’ve seen people openly weep over the outcomes of a game - I think these people are feeling the same emotions but haven’t been given the societal permission to express it in its true form. So they do angry instead. It’s not acceptable at all but that’s what I think the reason is.

Cowardly fuckin Australia

No I saw a documentary and they fly at you like torpedoes

This sounds incredible, thank you for posting. But now I’m left with wondering which edition I should try and get…

I’ve never seen it. Was it any good?

Plain grey ball cap every time I step outdoors in anything less than smart casual. Slip slop slap and slide, kids.

Yep, that’s exactly how it works. They’re douchebags but this is how TMs work.

I like to dance in the shower. I’m basically driving behind the logging truck.

Having bought 2 in my lifetime so far my approach has always been to say bugger all to the agent. I owe them nothing. If I have questions I ask, if they ask me questions I give them the most limited information possible, obviously being polite. I always kept my cards close to my chest until it was time to lift the auction paddle.

Say very little; it’s none of their business. Dress how you normally would.

Fuck

This was great, thanks for posting!

I don’t know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It’s exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn’t you know? He saw it on TV

Eh feels like a low effort Reddit thing we don’t need to copy

Keep the day job for now and start volunteering what time you can spare to a cause that resonates with you.

That might be the night time soup kitchen, or planting trees with your local working bee, or companionship sessions with the local nursing home. You may find an idea for a vocation reveals itself, and be in a position to hear about any opportunities.

Lefty friendly and community work are pretty well aligned so I think that’s a start.

I feel you re IT and related industries. I just want to close my laptop and never open it again, but it’s not an option right now.

Be together in my ass
