I was gonna make a crack about naked badgers, but to be honest I think one wearing clothes would be more troubling... "Hey Zeke! That Badger is wearing your draws!" "Shiat! Best tell Jenny Bob to git tha shelter ready, thits gon get worse fore it gits better"

Today's funtime, happy joy courtesy of the fleet card network provider that I'm working with.
Abbott: Use this track data.
Me: I'm still getting the same error.
Abbott: You're not sending the track data.
Me: {Looking at the protocol data}. Yes, here it is, exactly as you provided.
Abbott: We're seeing a mismatch in some fields. You should use cards provided by us.
Me: {Looks at earlier in the email thread, where I was provided track data by them. Mashes head into desk a few more times.}

I need to drive to San Antonio, rip some faces off, and then go say hi to Mairkurion.
Hopefully, I won't get arrested.

It all depends on the clothes.

We do prefer they are pre tenderized, cuts down on prep time, here try sprinkling some Oregano on your head.

It took me 50 minutes, but I finally managed to reply without using the word "stupid" or "useless".
Nor did I employ sarcasm.
I might still have been a little passive aggressive, though.

There's a PM I work with and I cannot finish a sentence with his name in it without adding the word "Idiot". NobodysWife coined a wonderful term I can't post because it would reveal his real name.
But during meetings I have to work REALLY hard not to say things like, "I'm afraid <PM> doesn't quite understand the ramifications of what he's asking for. Idiot."

I have to try to play nice, since this is an external customer. Unfortunately, the contact person we have is really useless. My guess is that <contact> looks up the error code in some chart and regurgitates that information, without providing any meaningful guidance.
While I can't go off, I certainly hope <contact's> peers (or whoever it is from <contact's company> on the email chains) recognize that <contact> is a dumbass.

My favorite part about working in construction and kitchens is the awesome nicknames that get thrown around, one guy we called GQ QB because all he would talk about was being a state champion quarterback in high school and he literally could not walk past a mirror or really anything shiny enough for him to stop and admire himself:-D
And then there was Boy, poor guy's first job out of high school and it was for his dad (who was actually an awesome parent otherwise) for his hazing he went the whole summer with his dad not telling anyone his name, just called him Boy the whole summer, he worked his ass off and finally got to tell us his name :-)

LoL! I've posted about this guy in other threads, but one of our players took 10 years to finally get his Ph.D. in Mythology, then went around demanding that everyone call him "Doctor".
After tolerating it for a month (a Ph.D. is worth celebrating a bit, so I was willing to let it go for a little while), I finally said, "You know, there are THREE other Ph.D.'s in this house, including an M.D./Ph.D., and not one of them makes you call them doctor."
He never asked again.

My initiation was by this cliche Irishman, so it was more endurance related, also since I'm small they have me a super old truck with I s!@~ you not an 80 lb back gate, but it also had the best A/C in the fleet so I never complained which earned me brownie points :-)
The other crew I started with was with these big ass twin brother bikers and then the other rookie had the same name as me (in fact just in landscaping dept there were 4 people with my name) so whenever I worked with them they would crack hippy and cheech and chong jokes at me and then introduce us as "hi, I'm Ronnie* and this is my worker Captain Yesterday and this is my other worker Captain Yesterday, don't talk to them, they're mute" it was actually a fun time :-)

Why would you get arrested for saying hi to Mairkurion? Is it illegal in his neck of the woods for members of the mustelidae family to speak? If so, I M never going there. Wherever it is.

I think that mummy and Colossal undead amphisbaena you left outside of Galveston might also have something to do with the locals' resistance to your return.

Extra hour of work today = an hour of running up and down stairs. Been a while since I did that, so my calves will be sore tomorrow.

Mininukes in random deserted houses! My God they really nailed life in D.C. to say nothing of the ravenous people eating politicians.... sorry I meant super mutants, it's just so easy confusing the two groups :-)

Howdy FaWtL folk! I hope everyone is well and having a good week. :) Interchangeably bright and sunny, and dull and chilly hereabouts this week. Carrying around an umbrella and wearing shorts are equally valid choices atm, but I'll stick with just the brolly for now. :P

So these Talon Company D-Bags control what's left of the capitol then?
I went exploring the other night and got s*%! swarmed by them, got to see a Mininuke in action tho before I got gunned down by dozens of those fake ass black turtleneck wearing b!**%es.
Had my stupidest death yet last night, was slowly and methodically rampaging across this bridge west of The Vault was fighting the last two, couldn't hit s$*@ with any if my guns all fight, so I back up a little bit for some reason... and fell thru a hole, my one consolation was as I was falling I was able to target a raider's head.... sadly I totally missed...

"Turtleneck wearing b%%%%es."
...and now I want a zombie movie where the outbreak starts in a group of Parisian intellectuals...

Um, it won't spread to anyone else, though. Ennui and all...
It would be a pretty boring movie.
Maybe we could get Michael Bay to direct it, so there'd be some explosions.

Hey FAWTLs!
As you guys know I sell shirts at cons! However my friend's brother has decided to go electronic and has some of his own stuff online. here is the link to his stuff. I'm wondering where this is supposed to go on the messageboards though, as he would like more exposure and maybe even work for paizo. Any ideas?

Yeah me too, I tried kicking them out but The Man says thats "child neglect" oh well maybe if I have them sew knock off Motley Crue t-shirts in the basement for about 12-18 hours a day they'll develop a work ethic....

I've always wanted to see someone do something inspired by the Parisian catacombs (the remains of six. million. people!). Maybe you, Orthos, or Drejk might write an Urban/Dungeon Dressings-something for Raging Swan, or for their Patreon?

It'd be like a cosy murder mystery, only with zombie philosophers instead of English vicars.
And I'm plumping for François Ozon for director and Jean Reno or Kristen Scott Thomas as the lead.
