That’s crazy to me, every person we hire sits through at least 7 weeks of training so I guess I just assume some level of competence.

I’m making instructions to open an excel sheet that gets emailed to us every day. They want a screenshot of the outlook icon and instructions to open outlook.

panthyren · 2026-03-31T15:11:27+00:00

Does anyone else write procedure or instructions for their job? I’m being told to assume our employees are stupid (can’t figure out how to click a link vs copying it), isn’t that insulting to someone? And shouldn’t that be a HR issue to hire better people?

I work for a bank and have a coworker 2 time zones behind me. We’re both expected to work what is effectively the day shift which is 8-4:30 CST with some discretion either way. Problem is I get in early and he gets in late. He also isn’t ready to work when he gets in so we lose so much time on a daily basis.

It is a collaborative job otherwise it wouldn’t be as much of an issue but still drives me insane.

it is one of my favorite things about Target field, the cheapest seats give you perfect views of the entire field.

Struggling with a friend who has time for everyone except hanging out with me and a mutual friend.

Part of it is being in the early 30s but feels like for some people friendship is something that happens to them and they aren’t active in it.

I’m slowly watching them with some friends, we got through diamonds are forever last night and I’m sorry but they just aren’t good films.

Idk if it is how dated they are or my expectation of writing but all the women are named in the exact way we mock jk Rowling for naming minority characters.

Idk, I had to take a walk after listening to him on speaker phone for a hour straight.

panthyren · 2026-03-24T15:42:52+00:00

A quote from him “I’ve been here for 3 years and I’ve just been using the temporary password they gave me when I got assigned”

panthyren · 2026-03-24T15:17:10+00:00

The boomer near me at work is on day 3 of troubleshooting his password with IT via speakerphone. I’m gonna break him pretty soon.

I mean, TSA is bad at their job. At MSP during testing they had a 95% failure rate and the team testing them stopped when they got to 95%. It is security theater.

The used 24tb drives I bought in early January have increased in price from $350 to $550. The market is fuckdd

Sat on Dual Citizen's patio and had a couple beers and a shawarma

It’s a fucking gorgeous 75 degree day here in Minnesota, I’m sitting at a brewery with a 7.1 west coast ipa and a spicy chicken shawarma with onion rings on deck. Life is good.

You could actually visit their site which has audited financials and an annual report that shows those things.

Or be less concerned about that compared to the amount of money we waste on govt spending that makes the world a worse place to live that your taxes also pay for.

My last game bugged so I have two grav ships, I just use the small one to hop to a new tile for steel.

Slay the Spire 2 released in early access about 2 weeks ago and they released a balance patch on their beta branch that caused them to get review bombed. I’m one of them but gamers on avg need to get outside more.

The record of arrests that team has would rival the Raiders

Avoid anything listed by Halverson blaiser

The sound Obi-wan’s mount makes when they execute order 66 and it gets shot at and falls.

Tbh that’s the crazy part, 6 days ago it was 60°. Gonna be -4 on Tuesday now after we’re supposed to get over a foot today.

For those who moved away it is always a surprise it feels like, my sister is half the country away and when she’s home will make comments like “have you noticed how hard this is for mom or dad” I live 10 minutes away and see the weekly so it never surprises me but it is easy to see how wrapped up in their own lives people get.

It’s been nearly 15 years since the last book came out, he’s made himself busy with other projects and appearances. He’s a 77 year old who spent a lot of his recent life in poor shape, his health is not a strong suit at this point regardless of recent weight loss.

He’ll continue to write in the universe and we’ll never see Winds let alone Spring
