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.

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

Hey, job people wanting to talk to you is good! Even if it ends up not being a job you can take (although who knows, maybe there are remote working options).

The job I interviewed for here is being filled. The person they hired temped here for 18 months and would have been hired when the contract was up but there was no opening. The manager I interviewed with (who I have little contact with day-to-day) e-mailed me to let me know before they announced it generally, which was nice of her.

It's Bring Your Kids to Work day here, and so far my desk has been the stop for Doctor Who discussion, Batman sightings, and Captain America being declared the good guy and Tony Stark the bad guy.

If the local color from first season of Grimm is anything to go by, Portland is an awesome place to live...

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

reading this article about how few people use math in their work lives

[link]

and this quote from a commenter:

I have also worked for many bosses that took advantage of thier employee's lack of math skills. They would literally say to us "You guys worked 8 hours today[at $6 an hour] That's $36 dollars that i owe each of you " . I would politely correct the boss.But soon was not used by many of the local construction bosses because i knew simple addition and knew that they were robbing their employees

Unbelievable.

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

I was looking for an update about the West TX explosion and happened on a Web site that claimed a METEORITE is the cause of the damage to the factory, not the (over-abundance) of fertilizer stored there.

Man. I would like to unsee that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do ya ever get the feeling that the stupid is winning?

Based on Grimm, Portland's police are deeply stupid, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jeez, I just had this phone interview and it was more than 30 minutes! With the ED! I think this place may be kind of a mess. Or at least they are tiny and have no systems or whatever.

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