sorry Je55e, I misread it when you mentioned you email yourself the password
NP. I don't remember if I was salty in my reply. If so, sorry.
Ridiculous password requirements just encourage people to write down their passwords on post-it notes. That's the biggest security risk going imo.
Yep. I have a document at work that contains a lot of top secret passwords.

I use that at home but not at work. And you have to subscribe to use it on iPhone which I am absolutely not going to do. I'll pay once, no problem, but not a subscription.

No. I might be talking about LastPass though. Pretty sure I am.

I like LastPass b/c it lives in my browser.

The problem today was that I wanted to log on to BCBS at work, whose password is on LastPass, but I uninstalled LastPass at work in a fit of paranoia during some inter/intra-office tensions and intrigue last summer, so I had to reset it.

I get v IA at people who disrupt the natural order of ordering things at delis/cafes etc
My biggest IA today is people who order coffee and immediately go and stand right where the drinks are handed out, as though there aren't 5 other people hanging back patiently waiting for the drinks they ordered BEFORE YOU who now have to EXCUSE ME past your ignorant ass to get our coffee. ASS.

I get kind of twitchy when I go to one of my regular haunts and someone doesn't know the usual way of interacting or does it "wrong." I also get anxious when I go somewhere and I'm not sure of the correct mode of interaction. Coffee shops that are more low-key (read: pre-Starbucks invasion) can be kind of cryptic. I asked for a refill and you got it and someone was busy at the cash register, or you brought me my order and I haven't paid, or... I don't know, do I go up and pay now? Do I pay before I leave?

Getting IA at my German homework, which is to write (in German) abt whether I have a ~healthy lifestyle~.
As the one fat person in the class, I feel kinda got at. (Probably doesn't help that on the day it was set I'd been to my GP's surgery for a blood test and the nurse wouldn't jab me until she'd weighed me and asked 6000 questions about my diet plans. Hi just take my blood and tell me I'm a fattey on the way out, it'll save us both time, right?)
Guess I need to convince myself that the teacher is only marking my German and has somehow become a robot devoid of any capability to think "well it doesn't look like it" if I claim not to sit motionless all week constantly shovelling doughnuts into my face

xpost I definitely don't like ordering conventions that are not at least somewhat intuitive. If you have to ask someone how to do it then your system, such as it is, might be kind of uppity.
our local market is this way. You have to write out your sandwich order at one table, then walk all the way around the deli counter and down the other side to drop it off. And don't you DARE try to order a sandwich by taking a number, or they will get mad at you. And don't drop off your sandwich order anywhere else, or they will get mad at you. It's kinda stupid, honestly.

Heh. (xxp to pp)
All the delis I go to have not much space by the counter (so once two or three people are waiting there is nowhere for a new person to wait without getting in the way) except for one, which has so much space in front of the counter that customers just sort of mill around instead of queuing and staff either ignore you when you're trying to order or ask you what you want when you're still looking and everyone gets served in the wrong order.
I dunno if it's a difficult balance to achieve or if it's just that British people aren't very good at delis (probably this, tbh)

Just write about how you take a lot of brisk outdoor walks, can hoist ten full beer steins in one hand, and also examine your poop on a shit shelf toilet. A+++ guaranteed.

If I examined my poop on my sandwich order then I probably wouldn't have to queue for as long, it's true

along same lines as people sending massive stuff to the printer, people sending huge image files, even when they're sending a mail that goes to a thousand people. it feels like a form of pollution.

This happens all the time in my office - can hold up the printer for a good 30 mins or so, often not realising and just sending the same file repeatedly, and the 'print queue' is very hard to find on the printer so you don't always know whose printing it is to go and politely suggest they are the reason the printer is 'broken'.
― kinder, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 00:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm the only person in my office who knows how big a megabyte is, so frequently someone will print a gargantuan PDF and then come whining for me to call the IT contractor b/c the printer is "broken" b/c it didn't start printing immediately.
They literally never, ever learn, even though PDFs are a huge part of what we work with every day.
They refuse to accept the that data is something that takes time to pass through a "series of tubes".

A few weeks ago we switched our email from a rickety, unreliable in-house server to Microsoft-hosted system and it is GREAT. It's way faster, it doesn't seem like it's going to break down once a week, and otherwise it's the same look and feel.
Younger attorney keeps whining (he whines through his nose a lot) about how he hates it and how the IT guy "pulled a fast one" on the firm. ????????? What the fuck kind of "fast one" did he supposedly pull?
sorry. i'm done.

A non-trivial part of my job is spent talking about image resolution and formats with people who have no idea what any of these things are (other than maybe knowing the word "JPEG") and I always end up feeling like the conversation resolves to them telling me about Brawndo having the electrolytes that plants crave.
