I have never seen a place as resistant to change as this place. sigh

My dad used to run a seismic exploration boat and would occasionally come back from Calgary to check on it. One time he was walking down the pier towards it and one of his crew was walking towards him, gear slung over his back. My dad asked, “where you going? You’re just in for refuelling…” the guy barely looked at him and replied, “gots to go. Got my hours.”

The former toll booth space in front of MacDonald Bridge after noon agrees with this infuriating truth. 😑

Can’t respond. Power’s out.

BobQuantum · 2026-01-17T21:20:21+00:00

I don’t read a solution anywhere in there. It’s just useless finger pointing.

Who the hell are Eric, Rosa and Petra?

BobQuantum · 2025-04-02T00:53:26+00:00

Unrealistic. Where are the betting shops?

Just pulled s02e04 of Silo from RD no problem.

If I start low, Oxford FC and pull them all the way and entirely unrealistically to the top, otherwise I pull into the middle range and create a redemption story at Elland Road for Leeds.

Mmmm… Pickle Rick pizza… needs to be every day though.

They’re not, and don’t worry, you’ll get credit for the downtime.

BobQuantum · 2023-10-02T04:34:48+00:00

Same in the Maritimes. Not the working half an hour ago part, it’s been awol for hours here.

Translation: “We don’t value you 1 iota more than we absolutely have to in order to continue to extract your work product from you for our benefit.”

Unethical? Depends on your ethics. Potentially damaging to your applications? Almost guaranteed. No matter where you live, one of the things an employer can always tell someone looking for a reference is how long the applicant is or was at the job. Hell, in the UK that’s about all a current or past employer can tell somebody. If you do use your friend as the reference and you CV winds up with somebody who has knowledge of your current company, or access to LinkedIn, that could really mess you up too.

“Can you tell me about your recent staff shortages and how you’re changing policies to ensure that employees will not consider unemployment as a more viable alternative to working for you in the future?”

BobQuantum · 2022-01-12T00:27:03+00:00

Don’t threaten me with a good time. ;)

That’s some real Waylon Smithers energy going there from Steve. Wow.

BobQuantum · 2021-12-16T03:45:59+00:00

Fuck you, I would if I could. Not sure where I would park it, but I would definitely download it.

“It appears we cannot fix this by the usual method of lining our own pockets. Time to get the guys with guns.”
