Im never more confident in my skill level as a so-called 'expert' in my field than when I have to work next to or come in after another so called 'expert' in my field and I see how absolutely inept some of the other 'experts' are at the very most basic aspects of our job.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

I was in the Navy. They tell you this like 20 times DURING BOOT CAMP. Then again like twice a year in refreshers.
This is not new information. This is not some secret, special nuance. This is black letter law that they get trained on over and over.

A family friend works as a housekeeper for a small resort that is owned by a VERY large hospitality company. She got a small cut on her finger and bled on a pillow case without knowing it.
The VERY rich couple that checked in freaked out SO hard they called the VP of the company and got her fired.

Life is a funny funny journey.
In the span of 10 years I went from "Dad that angrily threw away any pipe he found in the house" to "Dad that is earnestly asking his kids to help him pick out a 'Guest Bong' so his kids don't have to travel with their bongs when they stay over."

I went over to the bad place to check up on an old friend's account and good LORD that place is SO unhappy. Here it's people chatting about hobbies and projects and the fun things they are doing. There it's just nonstop anger and hatred.
For all their talk about BSky being an echo chamber... LOL

Im always floored by people that have been using Outlook for decades that will send you a meeting request for a time they can clearly see in Outlook that you are NOT available. Then when you try to reschedule they say "Well is there ANY time you are free?"

Crazy to me that people, in 2025, will get upset at a Teams user because their mic isnt working as if this is the VERY first time they've ever witnessed someone having mic issues on one of most error ridden VOIP product ever produced.

I know that math is not particularly intuitive to centrists, but...

You DO NOT need to thank veterans for their service. We already got thanked, once a month on payday for the whole time we were serving.
We don't need special parking spots or discounts. We just need people to stop using our service as a way to virtue signal that you give a shit what happened to us.

I will never understand people that DEMAND you turn your camera on during a call. This guy was all "Well we have to make sure everyone is dressing in a professional manner."
It's a pathological need for control that is just mind blowing.

It sucks when someone you enjoy on one topic winds up being an absolute jackass on another topic. Just admit you are cheap and heartless towards service workers. Dont couch it in some cultural grandstand you like taking.

And yes I absolutely almost ate a piece of that fucking paper.

It's weird how different British police shows are than in the US. There's always a little copaganda but it's so much less and so much more benign than in the US shows. In the British shows they are just regular people doing a job. In the US they are "stalwart warriors holding the line against evil."
