I have explained how Hooke's Law applies to escapees, right?

My boss, who is an even better boss than Jim, stayed a week too late, was lured into staying by the appeal of a Messerschmidt jet cycle.

She now knows she can't leave, but she doesn't care.  Your sister will eventually find some absolutely sensible and vital reason to return.  Right now, that's not a bad thing.  We're becoming a research capital, and our economy is booming.  By our standards, anyway.

My sister's husband thinks people are "planting bunnies" in the yard to mess with their dog.   :?

Thinks?

Convince him.

Their dachshund caught one and that's the conclusion that he came to.

If it were me, I would start planting evidence that people indeed planting bunnies.

Mind you, I'm a horrible bastard.

:lulz:

It would only make you a horrible bastard if he was actually showing early signs of Schizophrenia.

But if he's not, a letter in the mail created out of magazine clippings of letters that reads:

"LiTtlE BUnny FoO Foo

Will surely increase the lulz factor. A week later, send the next section of the nursery rhyme in the same format, but include a paw-print the same size as the dog in question.

At this point I'm not sure.  I think it's the only reason my sister stays, he may be ill and she'd feel guilt in leaving.

In that case, that's very unfortunate. I've read plenty of stories of developing symptoms of Schizophrenia, and that's the type of stuff that they do. I'd tell her to look out for Catatonia and slow decline of hygiene as well. The earlier they catch that stuff, the better the outlook on life.

Some incompetent admin at the company I support accused me of resetting someone's password to something non-compliant to our security standards on a linux server.

I sent them and their/my supervisor back a wall of an email outlining:

1.) The Company's Security Compliance Standards
2.) The password I actually set for the account on the server
3.) The fact that the tool they gave us to generate passwords doesn't fit their own Security Compliance Standards for passwords. (A tool that I actually didn't use, because of this fact)
4.) A detailed how-to document with step-by-step instructions on how to find the date/time/source of account logins and password changes on the linux server via command line.
5.) The exact date/time that I was on the call with the user, as well as a screenshot of the date/time I signed into the server and reset their password.
6.) The fact that the password they claim I set it to is literally considered an invalid password on the server because it doesn't fit the bare minimum requirements to allow the reset to go through, meaning by definition of the server's capabilities, their claim is impossible.


Their (Various admins and employees of this company) weekly attempts at accusing me of impossible or unusually retarded shit always ends in me telling them and their superiors how their job is done. Maybe I should apply to be a consultant so I can get paid more.

That was probably a good idea.  For those who want to see.

This is just confusing as fuck. What on earth is going on with that towel?

She should probably try to get him into a psych for assessment, if possible.

Yeah, this is looking less funny/less of him just being an asshole after thinking about it. This is the same guy who suddenly stopped having a sense of humor.  He's so damn stubborn, not so sure of how she can get him there.

National Weather Service decided to create a new storm category and meteorologists are crapping themselves to report stroms in those categories.

Like nothing changed at all, they just decided to track storms the might become tropical depressions.  Before that they were still bad storms. 

So anyway I have to deal with the fact the software doesn't have that category yet and all the people complaining about that fact and the fact programming takes time.

Come to donate plasma, wearing the most comfortab le, light clothing possible, because it's Tucson, it's summer, and there's been no rain. I get up to check in, they're like, "Those are pajama pants, you can't donate." FFS they're just pants I'm so fucking pissed right now. This is some bullshit.
