  • Baldness can either cripple you, or make a man of you.

    Once you accept it. Rock it. Own it... well, IT at least doubles in size, results may vary.

    I will not be taking questions, please refer to the Mr. Sins. If he is not available, Sir Stewart will happy to demonstrate on your mother.

  • Don't work in a Children's Hospital.

    Why is there a table full of people in mostly scrubs having breakfast burritos and margaritas at 8am just down the street? Night shift is out, and it was not a good night.

    If the IUD thing is shocking, you really, really don't want to know how low humanity can sink.

  • 7-Eleven, Inc.[2] is an American convenience store chain, headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven-Eleven Japan, which in turn is owned by the retail holdings company Seven & I Holdings.

  • In an electronics tool kit.

    Mostly because the only time recall using that specific tool was when I got my Pixel 8, and that was shortly after release, so its been a minute.

  • I decided to be a smartass once and made a 63 character long password.

    It wasn't too bad at a keyboard, though if you make a type you're screwed.

    Trying to use my AD account to access admin tools on printer? I got it fixed, and immediately changed my password, lol.

  • Oof

  • Except, no?

    Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

    It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn't always work.

    Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

  • My bad, sorry, Ozzy.

    Don't get me wrong, respect for both Dio and Iommi for their contributions to the genre as a whole, but I was speaking specifically of Ozzy in this case.

  • I mean, his later solo stuff takes a lot of cues from classical music.

    I used him a LOT in a classical music appreciation class in college.

    At the end, I was asked why I didn't take the other music appreciation class - rock?

    Because it was only offered at 7am. Really counterintuitive for the crowd who grew up on "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day!" You can't do that with a 7am class.

  • Had a coworker who decided during his shift that he was going to buy "that" TV that he pointed at.

    Of course he did not have the funds to do so.

    So he went to the payday loan place in the parking lot.

    He didn't last long at that job. Wonder if he ever paid that off...

  • I worked at an elementary school (public) in a very red state.

    I had been overhauling the library computers (I was IT) all day and had been chatting with the librarian. Cool chick, probably 10 years older than me, so late 30s. I was dating my wife at the time, so I wasn't looking to date, but got invited out for drinks with other librarians from the district.

    After a few rounds, the topic turned to censorship, book bans, etc.

    Every single one of them, from the churchy prim and proper lady, to the more alternative types, we against banning books and discussed how to get the kids access and and encourage them to read them, without losing their jobs.

    I had to shutdown their plan to distribute cheap flash drives with banned material on them a la guerilla distribution - ie, leave it where kids would find them.

    And that is why next week Mr. Case's cyber security BS thing was about how we don't plug random shit we find in to computers.

  • I only did a little fast food, but a lot of retail in my younger years.

    People would "threaten" to call corporate over things that were outside of my hourly hands.

    Honestly, most of the time, it pissed me off too. Management wouldn't listen to me though.

    So call corporate. Please. We're store #1234, and the corporate number is 1-800-COMPANY. Shit was fucked...

    To put it in perspective, I worked at a store in a state that bordered Mexico. I quit, but still had an active employee discount card and shopped in a smallish town in a state connected to the Canadian border. The employee asked me which store I worked at, as they didn't recognize me. I told them the store # and who my store manager was.

    This person ACROSS the country had heard about how badly our store was run and knew the manager by name because of the shitty working conditions and how many issues we had with customer "service."

  • Worked in Yellowstone for a summer.

    Spent some time with the rangers. They got all sorts of questions...

    Like which handgun caliber would be best to defend oneself from a bear.

    Essentially, the ranger broke it down stating there was a weakness in the skull about the size of a bullet that you had to hit directly to have a chance of dropping a bear with a handgun. While its coming at you and pissed/hungry.

    So essentially, you've just pissed off the bear before it gets it claws on you.

    Well placed slugs from shotguns, rifle rounds, and preferably (according to the ranger in question) a tranquilizer to re-home the bear away from people. That being said, the bears are tracked to an extent and bears who show repeated behavior endangering themselves/tourists tend to be exterminated, sadly.

    Hand to claw combat? Human is going down.

    This is why in the past, when bears were hunted, they were hunted in their dens during hibernation - at the end of spears to keep that hungry bear as far away as possible from your soft easily rent flesh.

  • That last line is the key take-away for dealing with ANY HR.

    Never forget who signs their paychecks.

  • Here I am missing my meds and really wishing I could get my brain chemistry back to "normal" but I can't afford it.

    I moved across the country and had more difficulty than expected finding work, so my savings are tapped and my health insurance has not kicked in yet.

    I'm not saying anyone should be forced to take meds that could alter their autonomy in any way, that being said, I know I do better and feel better when I have my meds. In life, at work, in personal relationships. I want to take them.

    It doesn't seem fair... hooray for capitalism, huh?

  • She ruined the only opportunity I had to see Iron Maiden.

    They dropped off the Ozzfest tour that year because Sharon was a cock-juggling-thunder-cunt right before they got to my town.

  • Mea-sles? Ohhh, my freedom rash.

    Nah, its fine. Not contagious or potentially life altering for the worse even if I survive.

    I don't know where I picked it up, but my toddler son came back from preschool with something similar! Any way, I've got to get to his funeral. Merica!

  • I've seen that, and variations.

    I've noticed house flys being more common than bees.

    That being said, I'd piss on a fly. A bee could sting me. Rightfully sting me, I might add.

    Someone pisses on me they have a good chance of being hit.

  • Because the word Kiwi refers to other things.

    A fruit, people from New Zealand, etc.
