Our meeting host tried to connect to the projector. Sadly there's only the computer monitor type plug no HDMI like all computers after 2015 have, so couldn't connect. PPT fail. Working off paper copies.
Our conference rooms have adapters in them...but everyone's computer has different ports, so there's like 5-10 adapters. People tend to steal them for reasons, so it's often the adapater you need isn't there.
Technology is retarded.

These guys have said “this is a mute point” about 5x now 🤣
That :triggered: me. :disgust:

I've just been volunteered to join our ISO certification meetings. Good lord.

Asked her this morning, and apparently it wasn’t completely a dream, I was actually doing that in my sleep and then just stopped out of nowhere. Whoops.

Chatting about my “annual” review with my manager and her boss in about an hour.
:thisisfine: :lol:
Weird to have something so formal after only 3 months but it lined up with the banks annual process.

Be cool to get an in cycle raise that soon if it’s on the menu.

I’ve had a few informal chats with my supervisor and gotten good feedback on all of them. Not sure when actual performance reviews are or what raises here will look like. Hoping for 3%+

Here's hoping!

People I work with say "the company doesn't do raises at all", but I find it hard to believe that they don't even do a COL increase. I'll find out soon enough.

Yep, everything’s going well. Laptop/email is old and slow as balls but other than that it’s all good. I already saw the written review and it’s all positive stuff.

Any raise would be :tits: as I’m in a pretty good position now.

im not a fan of those either, knowing I can get cheaper ones that are just as good or better, and won't be easier to lose. That's what im afraid of with AirPods, and yet I see people rocking them all the time.

They're just for flexing. Sound quality is shit compared to almost any headphones on the market at the $15 price point.

If I can do 3% every year, not counting out of cycle raises for earning certs like I can get, I’ll hit it goal of 6 figures by 35 years old. :notbad:

its pretty funny, cause just today I passed a 90's tacoma driven by a :manuel: who can't drive for shit and he was wearing them too. I seen them in older cars that mostly have a broken stereo.

I'd say a solid 20% of drivers in the city have headphones in.
They're also the ones that blow stop signs and come closest to running the pup over because they're aloof.

Apple headphones have been trash for a long time. Which is why I think it's funny to see people wearing the air pods.

Dang. I don't remember even using the buds that came with my old iPod 4. I just threw them in a drawer and ordered some in-ear ones from Amazon. Guess I wasn't missing much.
