Open Bar: Arguments About Turtles, All the Way Down

I got carded when buying rubber cement. The heck?

Glue sniffer.

In all fairness, how often do you see someone buying rubber cement? 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well, this is tragic and ironic. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/friend-man-who-inspired-ice-bucket-challenge-dies-celebrating-success-n182531

I have the horrible urge to laugh.

So, interesting disconnect this morning.  One of my co-workers was bragging they did the ice bucket challenge already.  I said, "Oh, that's cool. How much did you donate?"  They replied, "At the time, I didn't realize you donated, too," and just let it at that.  As if, it's completely impossible to donate to ALS after the fact.  Like, "I already did the thing, and I'm done thinking about it."


Like there's a specific window of time when you can donate to a charity.

I think I may be an actually bad person. 

I took way too much joy in abusing a recruiter just now:

Dear Ms Nasal Voice Double-barrelled Name,

I had thought my lack of reply after your previous calls had indicated my lack of interest sufficiently.

Apparently, however, I was wrong.  In which case, please allow me to be perfectly clear: I am not interested in this job offer.

Furthermore, if you had paid even a scant amount of attention to my profile, you would have noticed it had not been updated in three years and, as such, contained a number of out of date and irrelevant information about my preferences.  I have rectified this, but really, I was offering to work below the current minimum wage and you didn't think that to be in any way odd?

Please do not contact me again in regards to this position.

Uh oh, I've upset her now.

My career in the temporary packing industry has been ruined.  RUINED!

[LMNO]

Oh noes!  What will you ever do now?

[Cain]

I know, right?  And she's ever so angry that I didn't do her job for her.

[LMNO]

Did she for reals send a written response?  Is it amusing enough to share?

[Cain]

Yes, and no.  Not really.  Basically she's trying to chide me for not updating my profile...except I did, because I deactivated it.  Only I logged back in the other week to apply for a job, which apparently reactivated it, and she's been harassing me with calls and emails since.

[hooplala]

Sounds like she's lonely, and wants a date.

[Cain]

Eh, I can do better than a recruitment consultant.  I mean, there are many fine, tootheless, perpetually pregnant benefits cheats out there as well, let's not be too hasty.

[hooplala]

Excellent point.
