Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What would you be Examining?

Because books.

You'll be ready, -t! Two weeks is both just long enough and not too long beforehand, I think.

So United Airlines replied about that flight they diverted because the family complained about the movie

I guess flying strictly Qantas isn't possible, huh?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I could probably make it work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So United Airlines reply was ridiculous. It took them how many days to compose that? I could have written that and I don't work at UA.

Hmph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is this article oddly written, or am I missing something: [link] . I feel like the actual meaning of the article is not there. It just talks around the meat.

Man, when we have to make an emergency change, it's the lead's responsibility to collect the approvals required to proceed. And this is true 24x7. Ir's a weirdly random process trying to cull approval from a director with no direct interest in the change, or someone who has never worked with you. And it's a definite flaw of remote, since calling people and texting them on their personal cells etc to get stuff in by a deadline is...awkward.

And, to boot, the data centre is all "what? now?" We were sitting at your desk, waiting for twenty minutes for you to get off a phone call yesterday. I opened a support ticket yesterday in which I said I'd make this request today. If you refuse to do this things on short notice, TELL ME BEFORE THE LAST MINUTE.

And this morning I get "I iz confuse:(" email from the developer who ignored my request until, hey, the last minute, and then puts IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED on her email subject line. Should I put VAGUELY TIMELY RESPONSE APPRECIATED on mine? If she doesn't understand the question, and her deadline is 9am Thursday, why tell me at 7am Thursday? Why not, say, some time on MONDAY???

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any buffistas know anyone who works at Skadden, Arps? Just applied there and an inside person never hurts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What would you be Examining?

Financial Institutions! A shifty lot.

So this weekend and next weekend and probably evenings will belong to studying and yard work, I think I can make that work. Sorry interior of the house, you will remain a pit a little longer.

I feel like that article is written for someone who has a knowledge base that I don't share maybe? I didn't finish it, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I really like this idea re: transportation options in Las Vegas. I hope it catches on.
