Wait... your neighbor is complaining because you closed YOUR curtain? O.o People are crazy!

Yup. This is apparently dreadfully noisy, and makes him jump out of bed, and almost have a heart attack, and he can not go back to sleep. And apparently, 10 PM is a ridiculously late bedtime, and what am I even doing up at that hour?
Idiot.
But he didn't come to complain today. I wouldn't have opened the door anyway.

Page 25. Anyone got an idea for a new Mint?

I work with morons. I just had to do a real life facepalm because of what I just heard. So we have this one especially crazy customer, who just emailed and phone called asking about a credit card charge from a week and a half ago, saying she didn't know what the charge was. Well she originally emailed her sales rep here, who forwarded the email to the lady who does billing today. After the excitement was over, the lady who does billing said, "I guess we don't really know how long [sales rep] had that email!" ... Except you do, since it was a forwarded email, the To:, From:, Subject:, and Date: (including time!!) all appear...

It just amazes me how people can work in an environment where their work is 95% dependent on computers and NOT have basic knowledge about them.

It's also amazing how people are so reluctant to learn new things. So many people seem to be in the mindset of "It worked like this, and now it doesn't, someone else do it for me because now it's different." Or even, "You did something different, now I can't see [whatever], what happened, you fix it back." Just a couple weeks ago we laid off a bunch of temp workers, so I changed their status in the time clock. Well all you have to do to see them again is click a button, uncheck a box, and click "OK". But that was entirely TOO COMPLICATED for my manager, and she wouldn't listen to me when I tried to explain it.

Oh the stupid stories I have... Our new Mint should be "Office Space" so I don't feel so bad telling my doofy work stories :P
