Custard?

Im salary + commission, salary is just high enough for me to to convince myself to show up on time. My main issue is a lot of the work I do is not compensated by the commission. Only sales pays commission. So I try to trick myself into thinking the salary covers that type of work. Issue then becomes I would not do that work for that salary. Shitty loop my brain gets into.

We also have departments that do what my “extra” stuff is, they are just bad at it, so the teams I support send a lot my way because they know I can do it, and do it (generally) more quickly and effectively.

Double edged sword city

Im gonna have to put a big ol asterisk on that statement: * yes they are

I tried to use it yesterday to summarize a parts list a customer sent over, like combine same items, etc. It fucked it up so badly. That was my first and last true attempt to use it

Facebook or the status update bar from facebook. When Twitter launched i was like no fucking way anyone uses this.

I’ll have been dead for about 8 million years

Imagine your job being making games, and finding a way to ruin that. Both of the big console teams have shit the bed simultaneously. Truly awe inspiring, the collective dipshettery we get to witness.

Jokes on you, I’m young(ish) and not enjoying it already. Haven’t been enjoying it since about 2002.

Same, I stop watching anything with a commercial outside of Golf. Which is background viewing anyway, simultaneously inundated with commercials, the irony isnt lost here, but I like golf and it’s the only time I can handle it.

Ive also started reading novels again, just mentally preparing for the inevitable break away from all streaming/reinvented cable bundling bullshit. Video games aren’t far behind either which is my true last bastion

Owner operator is much different than employee. If you want to drive and are motivated to do so, that is one thing. If terms of your employment are drive when told to, to the letter of the “law” it sucks ass.

Currently allowed to drive for 11, shift can be up to 14 hours. Im curious what the drive time will be. As is is maximum safe level. Especially as the baseline. I think there should be outlier drivers allowed to drive more than 11, but not every driver. (OTR low population density, i.e. North dakota/Montana routes)

OT per diem over 8 hours is very solid. Only saw that once when I was racking up hours in Colorado. There is was OT per diem over 12 hours. (We were working about 104 hours per week those months.) It adds up.

I sell and buy things all day, average emails per day over the last 3 years is about 120. 120 does not count auto responses from my system which go into their own folder automatically. I just emptied those last week, but it was like 93,000 in that folder. Took about an hour to delete them

This meme is pretty wildly accurate to my last pay negotiation. (Tried nicely for 1 year, ultimately had to quit for them to take me seriously, don’t recommend doing this if you aren’t ready and prepared financially.)

I had the 8 hour day package +1% bonus raise 9 hour 1.1% Until emails stop 2%

They opted for the cheapest. People are still confused months later why i stop responding at 3:01 PM.

Hegemonic Shift

Are… are you pro russia in this war? What an asshole.

Played that series last year, (recommend them, fun games.) there were a few “Jesus fucking christ” death animations for sure.

Now with 40% more anus

In this case I was leaning more on the dictionary but I do tend to agree with your overall sentiment.
