Does it have something to do with an agency database?

Nah, it had to do with a traffic db that named it properly and NetSuite hadn't.

Can Microsoft Excel love you

Why should this one-way relationship be different from any of my others?

At least Excel always wants to talk about what I want to talk about.

If you're talking to me and I'm focused on Microsoft Excel, it means I have something more important to do than socializing. Why do people still not get this.

There was this shitty artist at work and she used to fucking interrupt me all the time. Once I told her how a study had been done that shows every time you interrupt a programmer they need 15 minutes to get back on track. She went "oh wow that's a lot! So anyways..."

Bitch! Just send me an email! I don't need a 20 minute conversation every time you update shit in Perforce. Especially since you probably fucked it up again anyhow!

I joined Meetup. One group I signed up for I got like an email a day even AFTER I turned off email updates. Plus who the fuck can play beach volleyball at 4pm on a fucking week day. I got work assholes.

I also went to another meetup for Indie game devs thinking maybe I could meet an artist to help me with this game I'm making in my spare time. The girl who organized the event interrupted everyone socializing and networking to start a "discussion". The discussion began with her mentioning getting into "twitter fights". I completely checked out at that point and I don't think I'll ever go to another meeting. It only got worse from there when some fat chick started talking about how to make your game friendly to people with whatever fake disability she had (okay it was probably a real disability but yeah).

It wasn't until after college that I finally did the math and realized that my older sister was born less than 9 months after my religious parents got married.

My mom's response "she was born premature".

Me: "Not three months premature!"

Mom: "I don't want to talk about it".

Of course I was living in sin at this point in my life so who was I to judge!

On a large team, ordering food for overtime is an associate producer's responsibility. The producer should be working to prevent overtime.

Lessee-

One stop from the station, the train stops and after bullshitting us with "we'll be moving momentarily" messages, turns around and goes back to the previous station. They say there's an emergency but don't say what.

I get off the train and naturally it then closes its doors and speeds off. Fortunately the train is right behind it.

Unfortunately, the bus is gone. The "emergency?" No idea. There's cops here and an ambulance, but thry're in the parking lot...so why would the train be delayed!?

Anyway, onto the struggle- I walk over to the waiting area for the bus and this huge fat guy gives me an evil stare. I sit down and he comes over and starts talking. "AW YOO INTO VIDEO GAMEZ!?!?!?" I say no and he walks away, then comes back and sits down, going "AW YOO INTO DC OR MARVEL!?!?" "...No." "THEN WUT AW YOO INTO!?!?" I tell him I'm busy and he since spent the last 10 minutes walking around asking everyone else the same questions.

Yesterday I was doing my work out at the local HS track. There were a couple older people walking the track as I jogged around a couple times before heading to the bleachers for my stairs HIIT workout. As I was walking to the bleachers I saw this little kid, maybe 7 or 8, blazing around the track at full speed. I had felt a smug satisfaction while jogging past old people, but seeing him running at full speed so effortlessly made me feel old. Like he was personally giving me an L for stunting on 40 year olds.

I wasn't that fast when I was his age
