damn. i am on fire today.
was on a call with a customer for 2.5 hours, then one of the our architects needed help with something I just learned a little bit of and winged at a customer a few weeks ago by myself, so I joined his meeting silently. was watching two meeting screens at the same time, talking with a customer, chatting with one of our architects to help him with his stuff. damn yo.
then an email was sent by the architect to the client about what was done with me CC'd and a few others from my company that the work/testing was completed and gave me a shout out thanking me for the help.
i hope someone sues your entire industry over that term.

DFD. The forum where everybody makes the same choices and then tells anybody trying to join the club that they are the stupidest motherfucker to ever walk the earth.

also, the other dude who was sick the past two days, came in today, and then went home and didn't even tell me! I went to my boss and was like...did so so and so leave, she's like yep, guess nobody needed him since no one asked where he was.
so i gotta stay a third day in a row late, again, after coming in early.
shut up,
Classic

Getting major red flags from a potential client...
So far she has been the type that instead of pulling together her thoughts in one cohesive email, she will email me five times in a row all with different thoughts.
We had a 10:00 am scheduled this morning about 45 minutes north of me. The roads in Indy were absolute shit due to ice. They shut down our main highway between at least twice and were diverting.
I emailed at 6:30 am requesting a reschedule.
Had nothing by 8:00 so I texted her. Got not response.
Called her at 8:15 and left a message telling her to call me when she got it and we would reschedule.
At 9:15 am she emails me back saying no problem then calls me while I'm responding to her immediately insisting that today was the only good day for her and that they would come south to me for 11:00 am. Ok, fine.
She sends me a text at 10:30 saying they're leaving. For a 45 minute trip on a good day. I check traffic reports and everything is still FUBAR.
It's now 11:20 and they still aren't here.
I promised myself I'd pay attention to these red flags this year and not take difficult brides.
Can I leave??
My girlfriend is a senior event manager for a pretty large hotel corporation (the umbrella). She said that weddings are the worst...that, and really asshole corporate people. Since most of the clients are bigshots, she's had to deal with some from middle-eastern countries, and they would constantly try to flirt with her, ask her out, and text her on her work phone all of the time. It was insane.
She does have awesome clients most of the time, though.

At the risk of being sucked into your wedding planner decorative vortex, that is kind of cute.

I have one that makes me question ever doing any of this again once a year.
Trying to get that down to just simply disliking that particular client and doing my job. No one loves their job 24/7.

He was definitely watching pr0n at his desk and didn't turn it off when she walked in to his cube.

Should've named the baby, Crang.
But then it wouldn't legally be allowed to cook eggs.

haha. I have seen so many of these guys get fired. We have ONE to help the two person marketing team (now one person marketing team) make spam calls and do other bullshit.
Actually, the girl who was doing the telemarketing stuff before him took it upon herself to ramp up on computer stuff, pass a bunch of exams, and transferred over to our department as an engineer, and she's doing really well!

We had one guy a few years ago who couldn't pronounce "Citrix." Every time he'd make a call, he'd be like, "Are you going to the Citrus event?"

Reminds me of an incident at work the other day. Accidental 911 call but we couldn’t locate the workstation so I went to HR and they told me names weren’t updated for some workstations so it showed a terminated employee’s name instead of the current employee. HR was like hey I’ll come with you so I can see what’s going on with the names.
Dude bro who accidentally called was like “holy cow I thought i was about to get carried out of here. Corporate Security and HR walking toward my desk with serious looks on their face... boy”

That awkward moment when the Amazon chat rep tells you her boyfriend broke up with her and then seems to start hitting on you.
