Cake day: April 14th, 2025
  • Tonight, 76F. In 3 minutes, it’s about to get extremely real for you. High velocity winds will rip out your roof and pull everything including your pet Morphews. At minute 2 you’ll start running out for the car screaming nonsensical noises but it won’t start… Not on the first 7 tries. Then you’re very likely to floor it and high tail it out of there in a big big hurry… Or in the European model you might only moderately accelerate such as when entering a freeway. Either way the mini-hurricane is very likely to catch you if you keept reading this past 6 seconds ago.

  • All the things you listed have much better offerings for free. The place I work for is small and we only use the email, teams and the docs. The rest is other software because 365 is terrible at everything.

    Example : open an existing doc. Go to “save as”. That prompts you for a new file name as expected. Now go to browse so you can select where you want the file to go… Or don’t, just click save and it will ask where to put the file. Then you realize your new filename is gone! You gotta type it twice and the first time doesn’t matter at all you can call it dick first. That’s like kiddy level software development testing that has not been corrected in over 7 years now! Imagine all the wonderful security things we don’t see.

  • Yes exactly. If they would just get out of the way things would work smoothly.

    The other part of the problem is the whole corporate hoop jumping thing where they choose whatever is safest… All people must watch or read X thing such that we can automatically checkbox that they did it… I’m case we get sued… If they get hurt by doing the job we don’t have to pay because we told them it was possible. But how can this be accomplished across the globe? Via an automated video ofcourse! But send it at midnight!

So anyway, the owners of the company I work for had a global call last week on Wednesday at 5am local time. I was ready with a 15minute alarm so I could have time to spare. Just find the item on my teams schedule and click the link thought.

So Wednesday comes, I wake up, run to the laptop, plug in my security dongle hit the on button… The thing takes a fucking 4 minutes to start for whatever the fuck reason. Hmm ok, I have a few more minutes, no problem! Click the… Fuck! It’s just a photo!!! Ok find the original invite! Found it! Click the link! Surely this takes me directly to the meeting, right? Right? No! Its a fucking download! Oh ok where did that shit go? To the downloads folder! Ok click! Ok now getting into the meeting! Finally! Shit! No volume! Where’s the un-mute! The fucking unmute! What’s she saying? Fuck! There! Done!..

“So that’s how you can enter information into our database… If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly blah blah thanks for joining, good bye!”

So I scrambled to the link to find a make-up session. Found it, signed up. Now for 38 minutes ago local time fucking midnight. Same fucking ordeal to get to the stupid fucking teams meeting for a fucking recording!!!

Holy fucking donkey shit! They made me do all that for a recording that could have just been sent as a link for me to see at my leasure at any moment during a normal business hour!!!

I need two uncomfortable foldable chairs, duct tape and a bat. Not a corked bat. I need a 2X4 with a handle or a lead pipe. One chair is for the asshole who figured out a way to make computers so fucking useless at Microsoft. The other is for the total wackjob who thinks you need a midnight or 5 am meeting to watch a 10 minute video recording. You both should be very ashamed of being people. Heck, no, be ashamed of being animals at all. Things that are not inanimate. Holy jeezets you both are so stupid!

Ok, now I’m going to sleep. Goodbye! Have a wonderful day y’all!
