Title: Official Ls You Received Today Thread
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 01, 2016, 09:02:05 PM
I've been meeting with a coworker on weekends to work on some projects. She really likes Arbys so we tend to go there; I rarely order anything outside of a small fry or onion rings. No matter what she orders she asks for "horsey sauce" ie horseradish. I thought this was weird as fuck but whatever.

Flash forward to tonight. I was itching for some onion rings and a shake, so I went to Arbys. Decided to go inside instead of take the drive thru (my first mistake). Got to the front and ordered onion rings and a shake. Then I said "also can I have horsey sauce please." The lady cashier gave me a :beli and said "you mean horseradish? I've never heard a non-kid say that."

There was an older lady behind me in line and I could hear her laughing. I took my food and left in shame.
:snoop

That's like if you went into McDonalds and asked them to leave off the secret sauce and they're like "umm, actually it's just ketchup and mustard mixed together, are you a child?  :smug " Fuck you, just get me my heart disease in a bag.

I got some time alone with gorgeous girl at work that was ruined by the fact that somehow, someway eighteen people came in looking for me and needing my help. I desperately tried to keep her there while working my shit out with those dudes until she got tired and said "sorry Wrath, let's forget about this"

Gartner's BI quadrants came out yesterday and our biggest Partner was completely removed from the running.
Not performed poorly, or went down in the standings. Completely removed.
There are companies with ~50 employees on that report. But Oracle did so bad they couldn't even compete against those.
:goty

But still not even making it on when you're a juggernaut their size? :point

Post by: Brehvolution on February 05, 2016, 01:21:33 PM
Maybe they didn't feel like paying to be on the report. My company payed like ~$50k to be on one a couple of years ago.

edit - Just checked and we are still on it.

I have to give myself two Ls considering that it's Black History Month. The first is due to not getting a haircut in a timely fashion. I'm looking rough today brehs. My hair gets curly and straight-ish the longer it gets, which results in my hairline looking uneven if I don't get it cut regularly. I figured I could go another week without a cut given that my line was looking decent...but this morning it's looking wack. And I don't have time to get it cut until Wednesday...

The second L is for bringing a white girl to my parents Super Bowl party. It didn't go bad but there were some issues at halftime.

*Beyonce performing new song (Formation)

Dollar Store Girl: Wait, did she say...oh nevermind
Mom: What?
DSG: She said "negro" huh...lol
Mom: Is it a problem?
DSG: No...uh just an observation
Mom: That's what they called us when I was young  :doge

Mom: Do you want thighs like Beyonce?
DSG: No lol
Mom: Why not  :foxx
DSG: There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't think I could get thighs like that lol...

3 weeks ago was like "You need a line of 8-9 reps!"
I have 8 now.
Today "What have you been doing?! You need 14-16 reps!"
Also he dropped this one, "Why didn't you tell me this guy wanted to meet me?"
"Boss, I sent you this email saying, 'This guy wants to meet you'  two weeks ago"
"Why didn't hound me on it?"

Yesterday morning I went to CVS to get some sensitive items: condoms, liquor, and two Valentines Day cards. I didn't have any plans that night: the condoms were simply for the future, the liquor was simply a re-supply, and the cards were for my mom and lady friend. In fact my lady friend had to attend some family business so I planned on giving her the card and something else before she left in the afternoon.

There was only a female cashier in the front so I decided to wait until a male cashier showed up. 5 minutes later a black dude who worked there started stocking shelves. I told him I needed liquor and he opened the glass barrier thingie, and as I predicted he said "I can check you out, follow me."
:lawd

As we walked to the front I quietly positioned the cards in such a way that no one could see I also had a box of condoms in my hand. But when we reached the front he said "oh Michelle I didn't see you, can you help this guy" and placed the liquor on the counter in front of her
:stahp

Defeated I placed the card and condoms on the counter. She looked at all four items and gave me the :heh and said "looks like quite a night huh"

Then she said "don't you need an envelope for the cards?" :gurl

I casually lied and said I had envelopes at home, but I could tell she didn't believe me. She bagged my shit and I left with another L.

It wasn't just the condoms, it was the mixture of items. Condoms, booze and two Valentines Day cards? It looks bad. I was going to tell the cashier one card was for my mom but that seemed like an even bigger L to take.

This morning I had a doctor's appointment. There was some "jasmine vanilla" lotion in the waiting room so I put some on my hands. Smelled pretty good, kind of strong but I figured it wouldn't be too noticeable as the day progressed. Fast forward to this evening: I left work and headed to the auto shop to buy some coolant for my car. When I got to the cashier he said "you've got some strong cologne on." I chuckled and said "actually that's not mine." The minute I said it I mentally went wait, ffffffuuuuuu.

Before I could amend my statement and explain it was just some lotion the cashier gave me the :hitler look

I took my L with a straight face and left the store. I'll have to find a new auto shop to go to in the future.

Sat down with my toast and coffee, immediately spilled half my joe across the tabletop, soaking the tablecloth and splashing onto my iPad. My son says, "You're gonna need to change the tablecloth." I'm in no mood, and tersely say "You can either help clean up or shut up, but you don't get to advise."

To my stunned surprise, both my kids quickly and quietly helped me clean the whole thing up. I felt like a shit for snapping.  :-\

Classifying this as an L. Total babe hit on me in the lift after i asked her what floor she was going to, of course i took too long to realise what was happening, just said sorry, do i know you? and yeah, nice to meet you  :aweshum when she got off on her floor. I'm a contractor, and I finish on this project tomorrow.... So now I would need to either catch her in the lobby/lift again or stop on her floor and ask for the "tall pretty girl with dark hair" / try to spot her like a creep. Another L is that I'm too thirsty I guess. Going on 8 weeks since my ex broke up with me right before we moved intoa  new house, and since I've only slept with a previous ex I was obsessed with for quite a while, which ended up kinda like this

I use to often go out wearing shirts with the buttons missaligned. So don't worry Pallando, you are just as socially ept as a younger Father Mike.

Now I'm so cool that I can align buttons through sheer will power and hand eye coordination alone.

It's not as bad as Halloween when I was in first grade.

 I had a school uniform on and realized it was a free dress day, so I just threw off my old clothes and decided to wear some Pokemon shirt I had.

 The teachers started looking at me weird, but I brushed it off as I did stuff with my friends.

 Eventually I got sent down to the Principal's office, where she said I was going to get in trouble for violation of dress code.

 I remember being really confused, since it was a free dress day, until I looked down and saw that I was wearing a doubled-up pair of plaid boxers.

 I was so hyped to wear that damn Pokemon shirt that I accidentally threw on a second pair of underwear and called it a day.

 Every once in a while this memory comes back with a whole bunch of major Ls I've experienced through life and, for some reason, completely ruins what might be a great day.

 All these years have passed and that elementary L still gets to me.

Moved to a new town earlier this week.  I've never lived in the suburbs before.  Most of the previous places I lived had decent public transit so I never learned how to drive.  I'm hoping to have a license and car by early next year, but I decided to get into cycling for now. 

This evening I walked 3.5 miles to the nearest bike shop and rode the same distance back home.  It's been more than a year since I last rode a bike and until today I had only ever ridden one-speeds.  I definitely underestimated the challenge of riding a bike for anything besides recreation.  I stopped for a few seconds to catch my breath at least 4 times on the way home.  Totally freaked as I rode down a steep hill (dragged my feet against the ground to slow down instead of just pulling on the brakes :duh).  Hell, I'm still not even sure when and how to change gears.  Most of the times when I went up, I could feel the whole bike shake.  For some reason it takes way more effort to shift down than up with a Revoshift, regardless of how fast the bike is moving.

One thing I wasn't expecting at all is that my arms hurt way more than my legs.  Both of my thumbs are also in some pain just from gripping the handles.  Much respect to those of you who do this on the regular  :bow2.  I have a  lot to learn, but it was still pretty fun.  I haven't been able to afford a gym membership for the past two months so I appreciate the chance to exercise.

From the random talk thread (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=34032.msg2169447#msg2169447).

2 days later: I have a concussion, a broken collar bone, and no bike.  All I remember is going down a hill really fast and trying to slow down.  Next thing I know I'm on a stretcher being lifted into an ambulance.  I have no recollection of the impact.  Good thing I wore a helmet.

(http://i.imgur.com/uiEfuJ6.jpg?1)
(http://i.imgur.com/4QIbhO0.jpg?1)

A doctor told me that the fire department picked up the bike.  On the cab ride home the driver stopped to pick up it up.  A woman walked out as we got there and said they delivered it to the local police department.  At the police department,  a guy working there told me he had just locked it up.  The only people who have the key won't be in until Monday. 

My mother was arguing against buying the bike for this very reason.  I'm just going to try to avoid talking to my family about it.  She told me she might visit in two weeks and my arm's going to be in a sling for at least 4 so she'll probably find out eventually.  I'll never hear the end of it.  Looks like I'll be walking at least a couple miles a day for a long while.  Once I'm healthy enough to ride again, I think I'll be too scared to do it.  I chose this post's title to highlight the severity of my L.

I'm not sure yet.  There are a lot of hills in this area and few bike lanes.  Sidewalks are surprisingly rare too (not that I'd ever ride on one)  The places I've lived in that were more bikeable also had decent public transit so I never had the motivation to commute by bike. 

My long term goal is to learn how to drive.  That's still definitely going to happen.

Just spilled a $3 ice macchiato I bought for a friend all over the floor/my shoes at a WaWa because I forgot the people there haven't learned to put a lid on a cup for 2+ years.

 Tried leaving after talking a bit with the cashier since I already paid for my stuff, fixed the lid on my drink, and didn't want to make it more awkward than it already was.

 Cashier leaves to get some lady, turns out she is left a 2 liter and gallon of milk I bought way behind the counter that I can't physically get without going through a locked waist-high gate. I decide to wait. I look around and nobody's noticed.

 This changes as a construction worker and a man in a suit attempt to lineup and see a 16oz. pool of coffee and milk on the floor.

 Lady comes with the cashier complaining in Spanish that this has happened two other times today. Try telling the cashier I need the rest of the stuff I bought. She insists she'll print a receipt that will give me a new drink. I insist I only need the rest of my stuff. She prints the receipt. I ask for my stuff again, this time finally getting it. Look back and there's a line of two dorks going in the clearly coffee soaked lane and not the open, clean lane.

 Drive home in coffee-scented shoes permanently scarred and remembering tons of other Ls I've experienced in life.

 FeelsBadMan

this is what you get when you order an iced macchiato, at wawa no less

That was pretty rude.

Never-ever-ever accept a recruiter's opinion of you. They need you for one tiny thing, and it's not even "filling the niche," it's making a hire which matches their description, which they don't even grok 90% of the time.

Thing is, I haven't talked to those people in 5+ years, and the only reason I'm friends with them still on this particular social media platform is because I friended them when I set up my account 5+ years ago.

Puppy to Infa team : I need to be able to install this software, please give us access
Infa team (team 2): OK. that'll take a day
<One day later>
Infa team: Ok you should be able to install.
Puppy: Awesome. Hey wait...It says I don't have access to install
Infa team: Oh we only give access to the software you need to call desktop ops for access to install
Puppy to desktop ops: I need my team to be able install this software.
Desktop ops (team 3): OK. Give us a few hours (a few hours later) OK you should be able to install
<install works but the team can't connect>
Puppy to infa team: Hey I installed your software but I can't get to any servers.
Infa team: Oh you need the Network team to give you access, we only give access to the software, not the server. You need the OIM team for that
Puppy to OIM team: I need access to these server
OIM team (team 4): OK that'll take a day
<one day later>
Puppy to OIM Team: Ok my team for x location can connect but every other location can't.
OIM team: Oh we only deal with the access to the server, not connectivity. You need the Network Ops team
Puppy to network ops team: We can't connect to these servers from y location!
Network Ops team (team 5): Oh, you know, I think it might be a repository database issue, you need to work with the DB ops team
Puppy to DB Ops team: I can't connect to these servers!
DB Ops team (team 6): Hrmm...that looks weird. You know, we talked to the Network ops team we think our cloud instance we think it's an issue with our cloud implementation you need to work with the cloud ops team
Puppy to cloud cloud ops team: These fucking thing doesn't work!
Cloud Ops (team 7): Maybe you're using it in a way that you're not supposed to.
Puppy: Dude, you guys made a policy that no contractors/consultants don't get company laptops and have to use a VDI two months ago. Everyone that's connecting this way would have this issue.
Cloud ops: Hrmm...that would explain why those other teams where saying they weren't able to do any work a few days ago...Let me look at something.
Puppy: See? can you please fix this?
Cloud ops: Hold on, it looks like the way we've configured it we can't track users' traffic so we don't know who's doing what.
Puppy: OK, but can we please fix this?
Cloud ops: Oh man this is bad. I told them to fix this months ago.
Puppy: can we please fix this?!
Cloud ops: What? Oh no man. This is really bad. We're going to need to plug this hole before we consider fixing your stuff.
Puppy: I need this fixed or my whole team is benched.
Cloud Ops: I need to escalate this to Enterprise Operations (team 8)
Puppy: OK, but I need this fixed
Cloud ops: well enterprise ops meets in two weeks so they can prioritize it

8 teams and now possibly 3 weeks to do something that's never taken me more than 2 hours anywhere else. And people seriously believe that private business inherently run better than government.  :snoop

Nightmarish.

Sounds like a portion of the company is in the doldrums, and the parts of the company which should save them have their head up their ass.

Some broad that I've had this weird booty call limited relationship over the past few years declined my offer to have sex. 

That by itself wouldn't have been a big deal, but if you saw what this gal looked like, you'd understand why this would be quite insulting.  :'(

Oblivion, girls don't wanna be anybody's backup plan, there's nothing wrong with that.

Mr. pup, I feel you. I really do. I think the mapping software team completely forgot about my project for a week and I'm gonna have to be like WTF YO to a nice little Indian lady who treats me like her work son. Multiple gay and/or homeless men at night have told me that I look Indian.

Which I think of as a win.

Came into the office this morning after a relaxing four day weekend.

Nobody here.

I've been here for two hours now, and....still nobody here.  The guy who starts with me called out "sick" and the woman who comes in after is on vacation the whole week.

So it's just me holding it down for another 20 minutes...assuming the next guy actually arrives on time.

Finally checked to see which Amanda Palmer song it was that I've been enjoying whenever it randomly plays over the past year, it turns out to be Nico's Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams.  :-\

Now onto teams 9 and 10, still not fixed  :-\

Oh and did I also mention they're outsourcing everything in about 5 weeks? And their whole outsourced team who will be running the system will have this exact same issue, and they haven't noticed. Which means that this company is taking over management of a system in 5 weeks, and they don't even know they can't connect to it yet.

That is going to be a disaster.

At least the money saved from outsourcing will offset the money lost in productivity.

Brian/Bryan type deal or Maheshawaran type deal?  Or maybe you just spelled it Bryn?

I just badly twisted my ankle trying to pick up my dog's shit after he shit outside.  I should have been like the rest of the people in this apartment complex and not picked it up.

A dog pissed on my pants and my individual size bag of Doritos was stale.

At least Taco Bell didn't fail me.
