Things I find a tad exasperating v.3

[jingle.boy]

Damn Joe!  Fucking brutal timing all around.

[King Postwhore]

It's been a rough 2 weeks for sure.

[wolfking]

It's been a rough 2 weeks for sure.

That's the understatement of the year.

[King Postwhore]

Power came on for 2 minutes. So realistically,  it's been out for 6 & 1/2 hours.

[lordxizor]

Power out. Sump pump not working. Basement flooded. Ugh.

Dang, that sucks. I've had that happen before, but thankfully in a rental so it wasn't my cost to fix. We installed a sump pump with a battery backup earlier this summer before we finished our basement. It wasn't that expensive and it has given me huge piece of mind. It included redundant pumps so it will back us up if the power goes out or if the first pump fails for some reason.

[King Postwhore]

Going to add that and getting an electrician to set up the switchover for our new generator.   Power came back on at 5am.

[TAC]

I'm glad you have power back. That sucks big time.

[XJDenton]

Sorry King. Sounds like a right old nightmare.

[King Postwhore]

No cable still. NOOOOOO!!!

[TAC]

I hate that. It's such a tease.

[King Postwhore]

House still is cold. Needs to warm up more.

[KevShmev]

Ugh, that sucks.

It was -3 yesterday here when I left for work.  It is 17 today, so it feels like a heat wave. 

[King Postwhore]

Cable is back!

[TAC]

Cable is back!

Just in time for a thrilling Pats game!

[King Postwhore]

Talk about exasperating!

[TAC]

Talk about exasperating!

A tad!

[XJDenton]

Given the amount of shit going on in the world, I may have to upgrade the thread title to "somewhat exapserating".

[orcus116]

I'm at my parents house for Christmas and the toilet paper in the guest bathroom is prison grade. It has to be half ply at best and it should be illegal to sell it to regular consumers.

[romdrums]

It's been a rough 52 weeks for sure.

FTFY.

[jingle.boy]

It's been a rough 52 weeks for sure.

Don’t let Stadler hear you say that.

Dad back in the ER.  They rushed him too fast to the rehab. Never fully took care of the pneumonia.   His oxygen level was at 80% 

[Cool Chris]

Awful news.

FFS mate.

[Stadler]

Gimme a 2!   Gimme a 0! Ah, I give up.   🤮🤮

Damn.  Hoping for the best for you and your family.

Just checked into the thread. Sorry about your ongoing troubles.

[King Postwhore]

Thanks El Barto.  Thank you everyone.  Just frustrating. When he first was in the ER and the hospital, I gave them my concerns about him not being completely out of the woods with the pneumonia.  The problem is my dad has MS and it's known to affect elderly that have MS with eating and drinking.  He is aspirating.  It's common with elderly that have MS so more fluids are getting to his lungs.  Why they would transfer him to Rehab is beyond me.  Now they have him on a BiPap.  It helps breath both inhaling and exhaling.  His oxygen was at 80%.  The system is so frustrating.

My company has been scrambling to get everyone to watch our annual harassment training videos. It's about an hour's worth of videos.

I personally have been having so many problems with the website we use... Create and account and then it won't let me log in. When I finally FINALLY was able to sit and watch some of them... It forced me to restart the Sexual Harassment vid like 8 times It booted me out without saving my progress.

Came into work early this morning to try it again and I'm finally fucking able to get through them. I had to explain to my ops manager, who's here right now setting things up for the day, that I've watched the Sexual harassment portion so many times that I can repeat it almost word for word

I dare you to.   

Those vids are so cringey when they enact the situations about what *not* to do.

When I was at a law firm, our sexual harassment training was done live by one of the partners from our labor/employment department.  It was super entertaining to hear some of the older partners ask questions (both factiously and not) about what was and wasn't permissible.

I often wonder if the people writing the skits for those situations have ever been in an office environment. I'll fully admit I could be lucky and just have a group of awesome coworkers but some of the things in the videos just seem too outlandish. I've gotten the same set of videos two years in a row and I'm curious if the new training I need to take by the end of February has some things shaken up a bit.

Years ago when my oldest son was a baby I was up one night with him and there was an infomercial on. The actress from the infomercial I recognized from my company's sexual harassment video. The infomercial...was for a male enhancement pill. WTF??

[Chino]

My company's sexual harassment video features Faruq from Battlebots.
