A couple of months ago I was on annual leave and I set my auto reply to tell them to message my manager, but then my manager was on sick, so she said her auto reply to message her manager, except her manager was not available for some reason, so he said his auto reply to message the CEO.
One person went through the whole chain, and ended up asking the CEO for some payment schedules (which we’d already agreed but for some reason the client had forgotten), of course the CEO didn’t know so he dealt with it by ignoring it. So then I come back 2 weeks later only to find that the client is throwing a fit about being ignored, and now I have to smooth things over with the idiot. The thing is the payment isn’t due until next year, so he really didn’t need to escalate it, he could have just waited.
Business to business is usually fine, but when you’re dealing with small businesses, particularly family-owned businesses, it’s the same as dealing with the most awkward and entitled of customers.
I’ve heard of people doing that but I can’t understand how they can because my work would have an absolute fit if I took the laptop out of the country. I connect to the service through a VPN so I really can’t see what their problem is and the country I live in and the company I work for and even in the same country already.

10·20 小时前I’m assuming it must have reopened, otherwise their foresight is incredible (although maybe not because they didn’t foresee the fire).
Yeah but for every cat rule there is another one that goes I’m doing my own thing and swims in the sea something.

He’s talking about little Tommy 10 names and his band of plastic patriots all waving flags that say England on them (that’s how you can tell it’s the real) made in China

3·23 小时前That’s mighty considerate of them, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the current president of the United States is undoubtedly all over the files.

2·24 小时前Sure but neglected child is always going to turn out worse than one that was properly loved and taken care of. You can’t just go oh well child psychology is complicated, so let’s just ignore the parents responsibilities.

I’m confused about why anyone would want their AI sexbot to look like a software engineer.

1·1 天前As with most games I’m just not going to get it day one and wait for the reviews. It’s not like they’re going to run out of stock so there’s no harm in delaying things.
I want to see what they do with the RP side of things, as there are rumours of a proper RP mode, which would make online play actually bearable. But since it’s just rumours with no evidence, I’m going to wait.
I don’t know “eyes” is a difficult word to spell.
Also elephants, the trunk has no bones in it so it’s just a hole in the skull, I’m sure future generations will portray it but the single giant eye.
But honestly pretty much no animal looks the same as its skeleton because every animal has a lot of fat and connective tissue which just doesn’t get preserved. Really the only animal that looks the same as a skeleton as it does when it’s alive is the frog.

5·1 天前What happened was they did the standard thing of being really far behind in terms of software and were not able to compete. Apple is not a software company it’s a hardware company with delusions of grandeur. If a software feature is good enough they’ll eventually steal it and claim that it’s some major innovation on their part but they will never get away from the fact that they brought the atrocity that is iTunes into the world.
You obviously don’t have stairs. The moment you introduce any level disparity in your property and suddenly the product is utterly useless.
I feel like you don’t know what real lemonade is because yeah you always get sprite or whites, if they think they’re being posh they’ll give you whites, which tastes exactly the same as Sprite so I don’t know what the point is.









Wow Microsoft have actually introduced the one and only reason to update to Windows 11.
