My office actually went out and bought four iPads and stationed them outside of our meeting rooms.
If you want to schedule a room, you go to the iPad and blip through all the forms.
It's time-consuming, wasteful and hard on your posture since you're bending down and doing some invisible finger-painting. I keep telling my boss, I could've saved this company about two grand if you had sent me to Staples with a credit card.

my drs office uses an ipad interface and every time i'm there all i hear is "come on...wait, give me a minute...this thing is so slow today" etc etc. I'm beginning to suspect its the reason behind not being able to get an appointment less than 5 days in advance.
They also use it to send in prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice. This has not worked once (pharmacy didn't receive anything) unless you count the time they sent it to a completely different pharmacy and it got filled there. I mean just write me a prescription. I seriously don't mind carrying the piece of paper to the place I need to go to anyway.

that ipad outside of meeting rooms is so ridiculous. dont shared calendars do this job?
Here's how that went:
Scheduling:
Rooms can be scheduled two ways:
· Enter your meeting manually by walking up to the iPad outside the room.
OR
· Schedule from your desk using Google Calendar (see instructions below).
1. Go to https://www.google.com/calendar
2. Log in with email: *****@***.com
3. Password: 89u45ufoi
4. On the left under ‘My Calendars’ click the color block for the calendar you wish to see. Click ‘Create’.
5. Add your meeting name; choose day and time; click the drop-down list beside ‘Calendar’ and choose the appropriate one. Click the event color and check your chosen calendar. Click SAVE.
6. Check to make sure you see the yellow box that confirms your meeting was added and that you see it on the master calendar.

Which means everyone walks up to the iPad outside the room and enters their meeting manually.

i don't know how you don't use butt wipes. if i had even the tiniest piece of shit on my arm i sure as hell wouldn't be satisfied with wiping it off with a tissue. why should my butt be different? my only problem with butt wipes is that they aren't antibacterial.

Dear John Cook, who is a very stupid human being:
I hope to god you never have hemorrhoids, and I especially hope you never have any that are partly internal. If you do, I hope you never have to make do with just toilet paper, especially the shitty toilet paper available in most public restrooms.
Go fuck yourself!

I have this cool-looking coffee mug that I hadn't used in years, and I decided to put it back in rotation
I just remembered why I stopped using it. The handle is curved like a large arch that's a little bit too arched to get all your fingers around the handle, and it's also kind of thin and weirdly sized. but the worst flaw that you don't realize until you're walking back from the urn with a mug of hot coffee is that the actual mug itself is so heavy, and the handle is so weird and difficult to grip that the whole thing literally starts to slowly slide and tilt downwards in your hand as you're carrying it!wtf
it's SO stupidly designed I want to punch whoever made it.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 18:24 (ten years ago) link
like I have to put my other hand underneath it to stop it falling because my hand just wants to let go of it

Destroy that mug! Wear safety goggles and smash it with a hammer. You will feel like a benefactor of humanity as you do so.
Alternatively, wash it well, wrap it beautifully and make a gift of it to someone you hate, while professing to offer it as a token of your esteem.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link
I'm going to put old pens in it because it is actually nice to look at

The screams are coming from inside the mug.

relatedly, bass players who do brief little noodly things right after a song finishes, like a little string slide or a quick thump.
