OPEN BAR: NO CISNORMATIVE ELVEN PATRIARCHS ALLOWED

Lillie just gave me my midterm review.

Or let's just say she attempted to give it to me.  I objected to everything - good and bad - as being procedurally incorrect, not within the grading period, etc.  A solid hour with nothing accomplished (with the exception of making sure her blood pressure is high enough).

She has also told me that I am responsible for the jet mill issue.  I refused, stating that I was not being allowed to troubleshoot properly, as unqualified people ("ie, you") have been interfering with the work.

So my review is unsigned.  The drop-dead date for the review is Monday morning at 12:01 AM, after which HR starts asking hard questions.

UPDATE:  I am now being given control over the troubleshooting.

But now I don't like her face.

Masterful.

Not giving a fuck about my job has given me a degree of lattiude that I did not previously enjoy.

Heh. Either someone reported me on Facebook or Facebook is cracking down on weird names.

I'm guessing someone reported you, because what's a weird name? Really?

Well, Bearman had to switch today, and someone else mentioned that their neighbor switched today as well. I dunno, does Caoimhin sound like a real name to you?

Depends on whether Facebook is screening real names for "American-ness".

And that's why I figured either/or. I'm annoyed either way. I've used my Irish language name for so long that it's legitimately become a part of my sense of self. And not even out of a sense of "this is Irish me" but that's what I've gone by. Seeing my name in English feels weird in that context.

I'm going to go with no, Facebook is not screening names for "American-ness" because that would get them in a raft of trouble for blatant bigotry. Someone reported you.

I mean, they do a fair bit of screening for acceptably 'real' names: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/feb/19/native-american-activist-facebook-lawsuit-real-name

I posted this last night but I don't think anyone noticed it. My school is running a "FEARLESS" ad campaign and they are soliciting selfies from students. Anonymously. Needless to say, this has opened the door for a barrel of lulz. http://fearlesspsu.com/gallery?sort=recent&i=773

Some of those are priceless. I think the taxidermied bat is my favorite.

SOOOOO...I have been running tests on the mill, changing one set of conditions each time, looking for which condition will change the mill's behavior.  I stated that this will take a couple of days, and that right now, we're trying to locate the problem, not make futile efforts to run product.

I am on test 3 - 3 out of 20 conditions - and Lillie is saying "Your way isn't working". 



I know that.  I AM NOT TRYING TO RUN PRODUCT YET. 

I assume that what she wants is for me to shake a chicken's foot, throw some sand, and magically fix the problem.

But... Science DEMANDS sacrifice!

For real though, this person sounds ridiculous. She beds her boss and gets promoted TO HIS POSITION and now assumes her mastery of the universe is total, physics and best practices be damned.

There really needs to be a 'keep it in your pants rule' for workplaces... oh wait.
Maybe some sort of scientific safety methods guidelines... derp.

Oh I know perhaps some third party in the company to mediate... ah whatever.


Never heard of a 'put cats back in bags' department, but The Future will have many wonders!
