Dannuget, if the programmers knew what the error was, and there was a way you could fix it yourself, they’d just program it to automatically fix your fuckup or let you know via validation messages.
Otherwise, it’s an error they didn’t anticipate, which means the only thing they could give you is the exception warning from the runtime, which either 1) you can’t fucking understand and can’t do anything about it, or 2) you can understand (*nerdalert*) it, but even if you could correct it yourself, they’d prefer not to let you know about the internals of their system for security reasons. Thus, the super vague, comically casual catch-all error screen.
Also, the particular sites you mentioned are down/buggy for what, like 15 whole minutes?
Had a full-tuition+ scholarship but still managed to rack up some student loan debt (little north of 15K) to make ends meet on the basics like housing, food, and beer. Probably could have saved some money on less partying, but I also worked a bunch of hours making decent money as a software dev intern. Definitely needed a degree for my job, so student loans were a necessity for me.
That said, I wonder if unsubsidized student loan interest rates would have stayed lower if we didn’t give grants and subsidized loans to every fuckwit from the low tax brackets. I’m all for the government helping with your higher education if you have the brains and drive, but there is no reason to take such a drastic leap of faith for high school students that couldn’t get a 3.0.
I’m a software engineer, so short of turning to the Dark Side (i.e. management), my ladder to climb is pretty short. Currently I’m automating reporting and analytics so we don’t have to hire as many semi-technical Excel jockeys, which makes me sad, because they tend to be my Happy Hour buddies.
My boss drives a Tesla, so the idea of him taking me out to dinner and not paying is pretty laughable. That said, I gladly bring food and drinks to company Broncos tailgates when it’s not expected. Kinda like the gift you make is better than the gift you buy bullshit mothers and girlfriends espouse.
I don’t like company Happy Birthday cards because it seems like they get made for the biggest ass-kissers in the company rather than genuinely nice people or hardworkers.
2. Refill the Keurig with water. People need coffee immediately, you selfish prick.
How does any office with more than three people not have a water line hooked up to their Keurig?
4. Do some research and learn how to make popcorn without burning it.
2 minutes, 45 seconds for any normal microwave.
9. If your boss takes you to lunch, pull out your wallet to make it look like you’re actually considering paying. You aren’t, but your boss will never know.
If it’s my manager who makes maybe 20-30 K more than me, maybe. Any higher up? They can fuck right off if they think I would offer to pay.
10. If you’re sick, stay home. People have mortgages to worry about and they don’t need you in there spreading Bird Flu around.
Fuck their mortgages, I have shitty bills to pay too, but yeah, don’t be a dick and come sneeze on everyone or generally be a buzzkill at work.
11. When signing a birthday card for someone you’ve never met, write, “Can’t wait to meet you. HBD!” This person will respect your honesty, and it’ll be a good icebreaker if you ever actually meet this person.
Company birthdays are hollow and forced, like your effort.
12. Have a generic Top 40 station already set on your car radio dial in case you have to drive coworkers to lunch. It’s safe, and it eliminates that awkward station search as you try to pander to everyone’s taste.
When you drive, you can listen to whatever you want. I’d rather get into a car wreck with my vaguely new South Korean car full of my coworkers than listen to Top 40 radio on my lunch break on purpose.
13. If you’re stuck in nightmare traffic on your morning commute, fire out an email warning everyone to avoid the loop. Your day will suck enough as is, and you don’t need an office full of pissed off coworkers making it worse.
If they’re heading to work after me, they were going to be late anyway.
14. Stop reheating fish in the break room. A lot of people count on that break room to relax, and you can’t relax if it smells like 2-day-old farm-raised salmon.
The only thing worse than the break room smelling like old fish is the break room having any number of your coworkers in it. And does farm-raised salmon smell worse than wild-caught? Taste may be different, but it’s goddamn fish. Fucking hipster.
I live in Colorado so I don’t have to worry about fuckheads like you calling the cops. It’s illegal federally still, but unless you advocate the federal government use even more taxpayer money to arrest 2 million otherwise “law”-abiding stoners here, I think we might as well consider it legal.
I cringe at how I thought and behaved at 20. The maturity gap is a real thing. I’ve dated a few years younger and a few years older girls and the age gap isn’t near as big a deal when you’re both out of college (literally and mentally).
I also left out a ton of other religions and other philosophies on that shortlist. Personally I’d prefer to avoid religious holidays and religion all-together in society but that’s not very practicable so I’ll settle for not being an ass to other people and hoping they can do the same.
In summary, I just think it’s pretty backwards that people still get riled up about “taking Christ out of Christmas” at work, school, or the DMV. Nothing about the structure of our country or society suggests that we’ve all agreed to be a Christian nation, so in the meantime take my “Happy Holidays” as a polite alternative to “FUCK YOU AND YOUR FALSE GOD”.

I agree about the discomfort, but I just put mine on my desk with my keys and phone.
Why not “How to Take Your Boss Jeans Shopping Like a White Girl”? Why?

Gun was a lot of fun until they murdered my hooker girlfriend.
It can be done!?

Law and just law are two very different things.

I really wanted to listen to 2 Chainz talk some sense into Nancy Grace but I couldn’t listen to her cringe-inducing voice for more than two minutes.
I saw Lucero and Drag the River last week; there’s awesome (alt-)Country music out there to be had. However, you’re not going to find it on the radio.

I graduated college last May and started high school in 2006 for a frame of reference.
Either you’re a high-achieving freak who graduated college a couple years or more early or you’re a dweeb who watched Nickelodeon well into his teens.
