Kiddo somehow locked on guided access on his ipad and I have no idea what the flipping code is (it’s not the code I programmed it with so I guess he somehow magically reprogrammed that??) so now we get to do a factory reset on it. FUCKING YAY THAT’S JUST HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY TIME THANKS. Oh and this will probably require a trip to Best Buy’s geek squad cause I don’t do Apple shit. I’ve spent an hour this evening trying to deal with it, and fuck it. No. I’m out.

Some geniuses at work have clicked on spam attachments and gotten their emails compromised, so now the rest of us are stuck with a giant [CAUTION: Email is from an EXTERNAL SENDER] banner at the beginning of all our emails. I never realized how much I relied on email previews in my outlook alerts and inbox until they all became the same useless warning message (I’d say a good 90% of my emails are from external collaborators).

We suddenly have this too!
and also “you don’t often receive emails from xyz@abc.com, use caution when opening attachments.”

Most of these emails are from well-known collaborators who I have emailed many times before. If they would only put it on emails from new addresses that would be a huge improvement.
I complained to IT, and the person I talked to couldn’t turn it off for my address, but put in a ticket to escalate it. They use a ticketing system managed by an external vendor, so that too came with the warning message 
I really hope there’s something they can do because this is deeply messing up my work flow

I have a lot of unpleasant tasks to do. I decided to top up the spice jars instead. Now the spice jars are all full and my list of unpleasant tasks is still here.

I bought glasses last year (the ones my husband was like “yeah, these are great!” about), and I just don’t like wearing them. They fit oddly, I’ve had them adjusted like 6 times, and even once I’m used to them, I feel like they give me headaches and hurt the tops of my ears.
I’m looking at Pair Eyewear glasses, the ones with the magnetic toppers - my sister has them, her pair fit me well, they have fun things, etc. Husband says “oh, don’t get those! I really don’t like them. I personally would never get them.”
My complaint is that for some reason I can’t just say “well, they’re my glasses, so it’s not up to you.” My brain just latched onto what he said and now I’m second- (let’s be real, third-) guessing myself. Gah.

Yes, this is the way.
I decanted 3 bottles worth of shampoo and conditioner into pretty bottles yesterday instead of putting away my laundry.

This is particularly impressive.
Reason I’m on TC thread…I got invited to a kickoff meeting for a new feature, which I assumed was going to be the meeting where we learned about the new feature, got a timeline for when it would be spec’d out, the budget for time/people to work on it, all of that. First question when I arrived was whether I was ready to present my testplan.

Sent sprint kickoff invite to many big wigs, time auto-corrected to current time instead of time I wanted the meeting. So I had to send a correction immediately following. Ugh

Oliver is afraid of the vacuum but not afraid enough. He attacks the hose attachment while I’m using it and barks at the vacuum itself because it has lights…so I vacuumed him with the hose attachment… he did NOT like that… but then came back for more 
Just leave me alone while I’m vacuuming, man!

This is why I chase my dogs around with the broom now and then. I want them to stay away from me when I’m sweeping. A little fear is useful.

See I have chased him with the broom and the vacuum but he thinks it’s a game! Then he starts chasing me and the broom…Total failure…

Yeah but fun, so still a win.

IT can’t/won’t remove the message because it’s “policy”, and there’s no way to eliminate it from the preview, so I’m permanently stuck with completely useless outlook alerts and this ridiculous inbox.

I have said the same thing 5 times in this meeting. “I have been instructed by Grand High Lama that I am to work only on X. Unfortunately that means I am not able to work on Y.”
Repeat for Z, A, B, C…. Do they think my answer is going to change the more times they ask the question?

Yes. They just need to figure out the secret passphrase. 
(Sometimes I wish my company did have on-camera meetings just so I could hang a ‘still no’ sign in front of said camera)
