Yes, I’m the first person in American history to have to listen to annoying people as part of their job.  It’s unprecedented.

Edited after seeing your explanation. Carry on.

mY bad, I conflated my non-paying gig conference attendance with my paying gig conference attendance.  I didn't realize that After Irth needed a win in life and I got all caught up my own shit as per usual.  Let's let him have this one, though I'm not even sure what that looks like.  How about this...I attend events for myriad reasons and most of them annoy me...is that cool?  

I am but a humble bank associate who only went to UT for 2.5 years.  god bless America.  

Damn. I negged one post of yours, then took it back and erased a snarky comment after I saw your initial explanation.  
 

After that, you felt like coming back with another overly-sensitive, passive-aggressive comment that makes you look like an intolerant ass. 
 

No wonder no one will give you a W-2 position...sheesh. Surly gonna surly, I guess. Sorry I stepped on your dick. Now go take your meds.

No worries, I wouldn't hire me either.  Life as a mercenary ain't easy.  It does seem a little creepy on a Lulz/Trivial Things thread having you follow me from post to post, but hey, it all seems like a simulation anyway.    Have some pos rep.  If you need any in-person banking services, lemme know and c'mon into the branch.  We've got great auto loan programs as those new Oldsmobiles come in this summer/fall.

Being forced by my employer to complete what feels like our 500th set of "Diversity and Inclusion" trainings over the last two years. If feels like one of the big dogs must have got caught dropping an n-bomb or something similar for this to be blown up into such a big deal, but why the fuck do all us plebs have to suffer for their stupidity?

i dont mind jargon per se.  and i dont mind science.  but poorly-written scientific papers where the author stuffs all the jargon in a blender to make a science-jargon soup.... it hurts my noggin.

At 43, being outside more each day than usual thanks to working mostly from home and not shaving as much (I have a very thick beard but very sensitive skin), my skin looks better than it has in years.  The fresh air, sunshine, and having to interact with people I don’t like has cleared my skin up a great deal.  But I am still quite stressed out for obvious reasons and so my body has taken it out on me in other ways.  I have three zits on my back that just angry.

They’re actually sagging in my old age.  But I did Not have back acne on my covid-19 bingo card.  And they fucking hurt too when I sit in certain chairs.

Call your Congressman.  He's playing golf with a lobbyist who's going to slide him some money to make taxes even more regressive.  This makes me surly.

Alright, everyone hates pointless meetings but there's nothing anyone is going to do about it so we just suffer through them.  However, what really chaps my ass is when all these stupid ass meetings get scheduled on the same fucking day.  For God's sakes people, there are five fucking weekdays; spread them out a bit.

FUCK.

Yep, my last 3 and next 7 Monday’s consist of 2 separate 1 hour zoom calls and an additional 2 2hour calls.   I want to shoot people by the end of that

People are still excited about the zoom meeting format.  New shiny toy syndrome .

My issue is so trivial I should be embarrassed to share it, which I am, but will anyway.

I have a small trash can in the bathroom where every time I try to drop trash in it, like Kleenex, it slowly fritters away during the decent and lands outside the can on the floor.

Given the height and circumference of this particular trash can, I would have to slightly bend over to ensure trash fell properly into the receptacle. Screw that. I’m not doing it.

Instead I either just leave trash on the floor or come back later three times a day to bend over and pick it up off the floor, which is stupid, given it’s way more work than just bending over slightly in the first place.
