HOT HOT TOPICS
– (sorry this is kinda confusing): I have an important report that I run that goes up to a VP every morning. it is in a PDF that is essentially just a saved excel file into a PDF format. I’ve spent months using an app to create an automated version of this report to take the place of this old system. but this week, I found out my bosses want me to make a hidden page in the app that they can basically copy into a pdf format, making all my work feel very pointless. what is the meaning of life?
– why does breakfast for dinner seem to taste better than a regular breakfast?
– salsa or hot sauce on your breakfast taco?
– english muffins for a burger make more sense than a traditional bun.
– transformers is the 14th highest grossing series at the box office. how?!
follow up. I asked everyone at my office if they have seen a transformers movie in the last 5 years and only the intern said yes. apparently he watches them all the time and we entered a 20 minute debate on why he is dumb.
– everyone has their own methods to cope, there is not one set way. don’t judge someone for not handling something as well as you do.
– the air quality in the a large portion of the eastern us is rather bad due to wildfires in canada. should we be preparing for the apocalypse now or should we wait until things get worse? can things get much worse?
– my boss had been complaing lately about the “bad vibes” in our office. how do I politely, yet firmly, say that her not bothering to enforce anything and just having other people cover for the fuck ups in the office is the root cause of the “bad vibes”
– what’s the best way to look like you are enjoying your time in florida without actually enjoying your time in florida?
– when you blacklist someone for having the wrong skin color, when is the right time to start calling them for an interview for your seven open positions?
