She isn't terrible, she is just older (in her sixties) so her way of doing things is outdated. She is incredibly stubborn though and won't see it any other way.

I deal with that, too. I feel ya bro.

Young kids do that as well. Nobody like change. Sometimes you have to adapt.

NOBODY liked it when our Starbucks area manager would come to our store.

When all you care about is profit - you'll suggest anything to make people buy your shit.

One time she actually asked us to go outside and ask people to come in.

Fuck. Right. Off. You can't just go up to people and say " Hey, spend your money in here ! "

Have you ever noticed if you walk into any store and the staff are all dressed the same - you can tell which one is the boss ?

They have a certain facial expression that *all* managers have.

I try not to do that. Be positive. Sometimes it wears on you but If I'm in a bad mood it rubs off so I force myself not to do that.

It's not even a frown. It's more of a kind of vacant/concerned look.

It's a morale booster to see the boss interacting congenially with his workers. Unfortunately in my department my boss is a prick and people are discouraged by his demeanor. People walk a completely different way to get to the office just to avoid passing his desk.

I go out and ask how was their weekend? What did you do? How are you feeling today. Joke, but when it comes to safety I'm on them because we work in a dangerous environment and I want them to think safety first.

Morning, guys.

Blob, I finished up Doctor Who last night. "Hell Bent" was fantastic, and the Christmas episode was nice as well, although I like River Song quite a bit - I know there is a section of fandom that doesn't like her very much.

As you may or may not know, I absolutely despise River Song with the burning hate of 1000 suns (as well as Christmas episodes), but I quite liked it, especially that last 1/3 once it reached her speech about the Doc. A really nice ending to her character arc that tied up some nagging loose ends.
I can't wait for S10.

Quick recap. Who is River Song and what was the relevance of the episode ? All i know about her is some library episode where she had a sonic screwdriver and knew The Doctor's real name.

If it matters, it's probably best to just watch the two part library episode (Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead), because for River Song that episode takes place chronologically directly after the Christmas episode.

I'd hate to just give it away and spoil it. She is fairly significant in the life of the doctor.

Morning.

Finally some nice weather today. Didn't make any use of it. Watched two Royal Rumbles and pissed away the day on the internet. What a shock.

And I ate too many doughnuts. Which is apparently 2. 2 was too many.
