Here any expectations for off hours communication requires you to be on call, which means fully on the clock. I have helped out those who I considered to be friends gratis, everyone else can go fuck themselves.

Back in the house with my boys was nice. Feeling the love. We are all excited about our vacation. Going to bid on a nice commuter bike today. I guy has it for sale used. Low balling him a little. Also has fender and a rack out front plus nice integrated bar and stem in same color as frame. Come standard with lights and dynamo front hub.

Like the specs except the saddle. Never understood why Brooks are so popular. The leather is not good in rainy Denmark and I think the fit is horrible.
nice rack!

(I like them better on the front than the back for some reason). I guess the Brooks saddles mold to the shape of your ass? that's the theory anyways... Nice that the fenders are on already. You couldn't pay me enough to install another set. fuck those things. with pointy sharp rods.
 
Tell them you're happy to answer their questions and emails while you're on vacation, and that your off hours compensation rate is $500 an hour.

Edit: y u no vacation auto-reply?
Shortly after retiring I got a call like that, helped the person out, noted that my ongoing billable rate was $500 an hour, never got another call.
The word of the Lord. Let us pray.
Fuck the lord. Fuck praying.

Holy shit, payroll issue. I happened to look at my bank before paying some bills and I got less than half a paycheck deposited. I log into our fancy new payroll system and I only got paid for 16 hours of PTO and no regular hours. It seems everyone got the same thing, so HR lady has been on the phone with the payroll folks all morning.

I whish that the buyer at least reply "To go fuck my self" to my emails requesting status of some urgent purchase orders he needs to issue. But no, he's just an asshole or stupid or both.
Rant over

Not having my OOO turned on is totally my own fault. I should’ve turned it on on Friday afternoon. It is on now.

The “problem” for me is that my bonus is tied to sales of my product. So, I need to keep an eye on my emails to make sure that customers aren’t waiting on something from me to place a PO. That is especially true this time of year.

We have two different OOOs. One for internal, which is turned on right now, and one for external, which I rarely turn on. Customers before management every damned time.

I used to have filters that sent management emails directly to an archive and marked them read. That caused me some headaches…haha.

i'd say the bigger problem here is that your company is still processing orders via email

JHFC people are stupid.

Had to go to the hospital downtown for physical therapy, which is its own special kind of depressing hell.

Pulling into the parking garage some dipshit in a lifted Broyota with large kayak racks hit the "Do not enter if vehicle is over XXXX tall" sign. Since the sign was just mounted out on chains and was passable he entered anyway, only to get stuck 100 yards later under a low concrete beam.

I don’t process orders. I spec & negotiate.

My company will process orders however the customer would like us to. Personally I find dealing with offshored online order fulfillment portals is often more work for both the customer and our team.

Walked to the coffee shop today. I took the drugs and the drugs are working.
Seeing the spine doc tomorrow. The question will be - do I accept the current state of recovery or escalate to the spinal injection of steroids?

Did you let the air out of his tires for him with a pocket knife ? I’m sure the help would have been appreciated.

Probably told this one before…
My buddy moved into an apartment with underground parking and no street parking. Manager told him not to park in the garage with his U-Haul. On move-in day my buddy eyeballed the garage and figured he could fit under the top of the gate, which was true on the way in. After unloading his stuff the suspension raised the vehicle height a few inches and getting out became the problem. Fortunately the garage gate had an extra pivot that could be used to swing part of it up for a few extra inches of clearance. The manager was furious but the problem was solved.

Here. Hannah's 7th bday over the weekend with grandparents out to celebrate. Haley gets 5 presents, one is a helmet. Hannah gets 100 presents, half are Barbie. But Barbie teacher, vet, and Dr, so pretty cool.

Super busy as usual. And I just found out that my sales support rep quit today. FTS.

Rules and warnings are for everyone else. I am special, my mom said so.
