Somebody on my floor at the office has the Kimmunicator noise as their ringtone.

I want to track them down, point at them, and hiss "I knooowwwwwwww."

Especially since people routinely give me a ribbing because I use the Star Trek TOS communicator noise for my text notification noise.

Ass kissing moment! Just acknowledge that you recognize the ringtone. Instant rapport.

Might backfire. A snorted "my daughter picked my ringtone" or something. This guy's pretty standoffish and doesn't like to build rapport with his underlings (or at least the underlings of his underlings). I'm best just keeping my head down on this one, I think.

Could always change your email notification to something compatible, like the "Oh, snap!" and see if he notices.

I feel that hard @GasBandit
the current GM of my work place is this way. he makes really weird sarcastic remarks, and I remarked something randomly that put me on his shitlist for the foreseeable future.
BECAUSE WHY NOT!? THE DUDE CALLED ME A QUITTER TO MY FACE REPEATEDLY BECAUSE I REFUSED AN OFFER FOR PROMOTION TO MANAGEMENT ONLY BECAUSE I WATCHED HIM GRIND MY PREDECESSORS TO DUST.

Just got told I have an interview today at 4 pm. I'm wearing jeans and haven't shaved. This should be good.

Nah. Just going in as is. Running home would take too long and not enough $$ for emergency pants. Which, by the way, is a great band name.

She's not attached to us any more.



Laina "Overly-Attached Girlfriend" makes it official: she quits youtube, and goes into detail about how the stress of trying to be a youtuber drove her to depression

Aww, that's too bad.
I know some people who get famous feel like they have some sort of minimum amount of fame that must be generated and harvested every day in order to maintain their status, and for some that's more than they can bear.

I hope she just decides to go on the down-low instead of going completely dark. She'll always be a meme, even if she never makes another video.

On the other hand, if the pressure she's talking about was actually brought about by Google basically flogging her (and all YouTubers, really) to create content to maintain their platform dominance, then shame on them.

Interview went really well. The people interviewing me are all friends of mine at work and close associates. I was completely comfortable and there was no stress at all during it.

Their last question was: Why do you feel that you are the ideal candidate for this position.

My answer: Don't know that I am. But I have the experience, the education, the knowledge of the system, a positive working relationship with those I would be managing, and I'm a military veteran. If you find a better candidate they'll do an excellent job for the university.

My translation of your answer: "I feel like, instead of needing to prove that I'm the ideal candidate, it's more on you guys to prove that I'm not."

Oh, holy hell. Woman gets kidnapped while out riding her bike. Wakes up naked and tied to a chair somewhere she doesn't recognise. Tries to talk her kidnapper into letting her go by complimenting him on his orchids & saying that they can call it an accident.

He fucking agrees!

Needless to say as soon as he lets her go she goes straight to the police and he's now been arrested. She says it's like something out of a bad movie & I wouldn't be surprised to see this made into one in a few years.

Hey! Look who else is back on YouTube again:



I hope they (he) gets everything they're going for. YT's infamous caprice is the main reason I don't have any kind of a presence there.

"I got an idea, I'll pick a random Cinema Cins video and watch it, I'm sure the first MINUTE won't give me a migraine based on his pettyness alone!"

Thoughts of a hopeful man...seriously, Jeremy just CAN'T wait a god damned 40 seconds for the logos to go by, that's barely anything!

Just got this email from our All Campus email account.

Staged 1800s Ambush on Campus on Monday, August 12
Click to expand...
As part of the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs Conference, the attendees of the conference will be having dinner on campus on Monday, August 12.

Included in this dinner is a live, staged ambush of their Ollie the Trolley caravan from Offutt Air Force Base to Bellevue University. The actors in the production will be wearing 1800s Wild West garb.

The ambush, which begins en route to Bellevue University, will conclude at the Educational Services Building (ESB) at approximately 6:30 p.m. and will include a “gunfight” between the “robbers” and “the Law.”

Students and employees on campus may hear “gunfire” anytime between 6:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The event organizers have also notified the Bellevue Police Department of the production.

After the production, the group will go to the ESB Atrium for a group photo and then to the Symposium Room and Multipurpose Room for dinner. They will depart around 8:30 p.m. from the ASB.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
