Tumblr removing adult content is basically removing the thing most people probably used it for.

Can confirm.

IKEA have annoyed me quite a bit. Lucky it isn't my stuff, but whatever. 2 out of 3 DIY flat packs my sister ordered were wrong in some way. One we were able to rectify somewhat easily. Second however has the bed's two side frames was completely different to how it's meant to be made. OK, a set of holes were on the wrong level on both, but it causes the rest of the build to be undoable. Know now I won't be using them for furniture of my own.

Hope others are having a better weekend. Well, mine has been good until that. XD

So on Thursday I had a skill test and mini interview for a job, its not what I really want to do, (listening to recorded calls and seeing if the rep followed the script <_<) but it is work from home....I just need to hear back


RE: Universal Chat Thread - Karo - Dec 12th, 2018

Good luck, PM. Hope you get it.

Work for me has been generally a slog as usual. Too much work, too few people, too few managers who know what they're doing or care so long as it doesn't affect them. Makes me glad school is starting up again in a few weeks so that they can't keep relying on me to do the work of three people. Rolleyes

Going to Orlando this weekend to attend some convention I forget the name of, and then probably just going to do some other neat stuff like go to Disney before heading back home. Smile

Makes me think that's how one of our warehouse colleagues felt today, with amount of grocery stock that was coming in. It's the worst I've, him and my section leader have seen, so much that stock was getting placed on top of other palettes (that has happened before, just not a lot) or even in the out, outside of the warehouse. Was later moved back in, but that was before another lorry was due, so who knows what happened after I went. No idea what frozen or chilled were like, but our Produce stock was low, although we'll be getting the worst of it next week. I was helping a bit with the warehouse, as our department was quiet until midday. Going to have fun next Friday. Wednesday we're guessing will be the beginning of the madness for us, but Friday will be the start of the worst days for me personally, I think. Maybe I'm underestimating what we'll get Wed though. XD

A convention in December? Hope you guys enjoy yourselves! My sister's birthday tomorrow, a milestone one for her, so going to be somewhat special, as we're going for a meal with my mum, brother and his partner. Seeing Dad early-ish afternoon. After the evening meal, both of us are staying over our friend's place. She hasn't been since early 2018, and is excited to go.

Well I did, I start in Jan.

But man getting employed is expensive (for me, and its shit pay for shit hours). Since its work from home I wanted a seperate computer for work and play, I know what shady shit companies like to put on computers.

Soooo I am taking my current desktop (Intel i7 4700k, 16 gigs of RAM, GTX 1070) putting a fresh SSD in it removing the two hard drives and using that as my work computer.

My new game computer is as such: Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1060, 16 gig RAM, 256 m.2 1TB HDD (with an additional 1TB HDD Im going to add, and maybe another 1TB HDD), and a DVD Drive.

I also bought a Ryzen 7 2700 for a CPU upgrade (only to find out afterwords I could have gotten the 2700X for 20 bucks more). I will be swapping the 1070 and 1060 also.

Ive been bitten by the Ryzen bug since Intel is removing hyper threading from their (consumer) CPUs sans the new i9.

@EL: If my store got even one delivery as big as your store gets I think everyone would have a nervous breakdown. If they had the amount of customers we got on an average day in your store it'd be the same, and if it was like the Christmas rush I think the entire store would grind to a halt within an hour. A small part of me wishes that last part would happen just to watch the chaos. ROFL

Well, our trip to Orlando could've gone better so far. Got pulled over by a state trooper for going 15 over the speed limit, despite everyone else going much faster and since then we've stuck to the limit and within 30 minutes lost count how many people have blazed past us. Shira is not happy about it. XD


RE: Universal Chat Thread - Karo - Dec 15th, 2018

Did you get a ticket? I hope you guys didn't get a ticket T.T Also good to hear you got the job, PM. I think o.o


RE: Universal Chat Thread - Frank - Dec 15th, 2018

Anyone remember me?

We all know the State trooper just profile because a British national was in the car he needed to make sure there wasn't going to be a repete of 1812. Whistle

Found a few possibilities for a new laptop. Never had Ryzen before, but that is one of the options. Also, it's a good idea to do that for your new job, PM.

Unlucky Moony and Shira. Perhaps they're more likely to pick on drivers out of state? Whatever the reason, and not catching others, bloody stupid.

@Frank: Dude, head to Start Screen for a better intro than that. I actually thought nothing of it when seeing you on the Online Today List at first, as if it were the old days. XD

She did. $130. Would've been $300 but he cut it down for a first time offense.

We were in state though. We only went to Orlando. XD


RE: Universal Chat Thread - Mr EliteL - Dec 18th, 2018

OK, I meant not from Orlando then. XD For some reason I thought Orlando might've had a special kind of plate, so anyone without would be targeted. Ah, well, stupid ticket. >.<

Not doing much at the moment. Eh, Monday's work things seemed to be fine. Felt like a Wednesday actually, even though I was in later than then. Maybe because a colleague was in for two extra hours. Found out we're due over 6,000 broccoli on delivery. Wonder if they came today or in tonight/tomorrow. Also not using the system we usually use, so should be less of a hassle getting stock out. Thank goodness for that.
