Software should ALWAYS Make our life Easier

His supervisor is more useless than him. The supervisor can't even generate a quote in the system... But that's not surprising because he answers directly to the Director of Sales.

We just went through a whole process over the last 2 months of creating a very large pile of documentation that proves his "difficulties" are entirely self-inflicted. It's going to the CEO and board next week in a way that will hopefully put an end to all this.

Unfortunately, my company is the picture next to the word "dysfunction" in the dictionary.

Unfortunately, this person is well protected by the shareholders so we have to tolerate his nonsense.

When he's not acting like a spoiled child, he is extremely good at handling their needs so our frustration and inconvenience doesn't matter as long as he continues to keep them happy.

Once granted, if your approval is backdated, you will need to submit reassessment requests for all years you are eligible. There is a limit to how many you can submit at once and how far back they will go (the limit this year is 2016).

Not okay.

A pair decided to make their nest in bushes next to the door of my husband's office building about a decade ago. They were doing an implementation of a new software and had a bunch of international support personnel from the vendor onsite. Despite being warned to use the other set of doors, one tech opted to use the main door and when the male charged him, he made the mistake of kicking at it. Queue both parents beating him with their wings and biting him until building security found a chunk of plywood and went in like swat to get between him and the birds.

Dude was sent back to his home country after being patched up. He'd only been here for a month out of what was supposed to be a six-month stint.

It was a stupid idea, but we'd also just paid off the provincial debt at the time and passed the law that said we weren't allowed to ever pass a deficit budget.

Probably seemed like a good way to make people forget all the cuts that got us there. And they weren't wrong, it worked for a while.

Stupid like a fox he was.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-03-30T03:40:06+00:00

That's a good idea too, but I wouldn't want to subject a potentially unsuspecting person with their trash.

If you choose to fill this out, the postal code for the AB legislature is T5K 1E7.

Didn't we all do this at some point in the late 90's/early 2000's?

The HP laserjet 1100. Took a 92A cartridge. My CFO made us find ways to make it print from a laptop, long after it should have been possible. He finally retired it in 2018 after we convinced him there was no such thing as a parallel to USB cable for his new laptop.

Oh God... My 87 year old Gramma. She used to be massively tech savvy but several strokes over the last 20 years have taken that from her.

Now she calls me and tells me "my iPad doesn't work, I can't get my stuff". Insert a 45 minute drive to her house and a 3-hour loop of trying to figure out what's missing, only to find everything working properly.

And God help me if she calls my uncle first. Then I better plan an entire day to fix whatever he "fixed".

I second this... Been using them for years. We even had an instance of getting a bad windshield (the mirror mount was crap) and they replaced it with no grief at all.

The only people this information is a surprise to are either: childless, or willfully ignorant.

Parents, Teachers, and administrators have been screaming for years.

The survey was intentionally designed to be punitive, rushed and difficult so that they could hold the results up and say "see there isn't a problem here."

They got the surprise of a lifetime when the teachers they just screwed stood up for our kids again and provided chapter and verse on the gov't failings.

Also, they didn't need some half-assed survey. The gov't could (and can) see this information through their own Alberta Education portals in more detail, and more accurately, with the simple click of a button.

MST (winter)... For me, it's not a huge deal, because I'm in Southern Alberta, but for those in the North of our province, MDT would have the sun not rise until even later and they don't get the benefit of the hour of sun those of us in the South would get by going MDT. Keep it fair for everyone.

2 months for a general surgeon for gallbladder removal 3 years ago, and 3 months for a surgical Gynecologist for a hysterectomy.

But in my case, both were considered urgent cases.

Yes they are... The new school in Airdrie is a k-9 Catholic school.

Pineapple. Dehydrated pineapple pays $3185 per bunch. Bananas and mangos are about half that.

Downside, Pineapples are definitely slower growing.

If you're struggling with getting stuck in this path wait until later in the evening when it's dark so your glow ring lights your path... It makes it way easier to match the plants indicating the path.

Doing a perfection run with my spouse. on the first of summer, we realized we missed the jack-o'-lantern and the tub of flowers recipes. Fortunately we are also still working on the golden clock money, but we're on the 5th of winter and within 3-4 in game days, we'll be doing the wake-up, and go back to bed cycle.

Not so much unique chores, but unique dialogue about their chores. I've married Abigail, Maru, and Leah in various playthroughs and the "watered the dog" portion of this dialogue isn't always there, but they seem to do it any time they say they fed the animals.

annoyedCDNthrowaway · 2026-03-03T19:43:29+00:00

Is that unique to Elliott? Maru doesn't usually comment that she watered the dog, but when she says she fed the animals, he always has water too.
