I've loaded up on yogurt, so we'll see if that helps. :-)
May I recommend my shower? It's my "safe place" now, ever since I was experiencing similar...

Oooooh! *seethe*
"As of release x, the application only supports one-to-many relationships", then several slides of screenshots talking about this restriction and how important it is to understand it...
...too bad we started supporting many-to-many relationships THREE RELEASES AGO!!!!
Out of curiosity, do you ever call them out on these sorts of deficiencies?
Document and pass along the food chain to show that they are nincompoops?
I say this in part because I know of instances where the managers just did not know their subordinates were incompetent. They assumed because no one complained to them, it was all good. After someone finally brought it to their attention, we witnessed about 5 lay offs. The replacements were much more closely supervised (at least in the beginning).
Aaaahhh!!

So... we have 3 levels of nincompoopery:
- The authors, who failed to do a single task we assigned them- The instructor reviewers, who failed to catch and of the errors and passed them on
- The PM/SME reviewers, who also missed the fundamental technical inaccuracies in the content.
In short, nobody cared enough to even look at the material.
So yes, my manager and I complain to our VP, and to the other people's managers, (*and* I even prepare a detailed list of all the fundamental errors) and what we get in response is, "You're too picky! It was 'good enough'!"
Which goes a long way in explaining why our competition is killing us in head-to-head battles.
And their solution? Change our marketing language and logos!
Because actually producing quality work takes... y'know... WORK!

Three unrelated thoughts.
TL: Much better
Taco Bell - home of Baja Blast Mtn Dew. The food gets a pass, but this is nectar.
NH: Understood. May your seething be as long lived as need be to get it out of your system, and short lived enough to not interfere with the better parts of life.

I wonder if your presence is what is causing the repeated experiences of instability of the forums...?

I really don't mind Taco Bell. It's just that other people may have a low opinion of the chain. Hence, my "Taco Hell" comment.Everybody says Taco Bell is horrible, but I'm neutral towards it. Back when it was cheap, I ate it with some regularity, but now it's really expensive for what you get. Like, I know I live in San Francisco and things just cost a lot of money here, but Taco Bell seems to hit my wallet harder than other fast food.Frozen chicken fried rice, frozen mozzarella sticks, and cheap chardonnay left over from Halloween. Dinner of champions.Sounds a bit like my dinner last night, without the alcohol. At least until I got home. Two grilled stuffed burritos from Taco Bell, or "Taco Hell," as you prefer. And their "new' Diablo sauce is a let-down. It's nowhere near as spicy as Sriracha sauce. Spent some of my Tekko anime money buying a final purchase of tools and parts from the Radio Shack I purchased from the most.
My friends and I pretty much lived on Taco Bell and Round Table pizza back in the 1980's.
Even in the 1990's when I was in grad school, Taco Bell was a staple of "cheap dinner I don't have to make" nights.
So on a lark a year or two ago Shiro's player suggested we buy a huge amount of Taco Bell food to serve all the gamers. We learned two things:
So yeah, some time between 1994 and 2015 Taco Bell got really, really, REALLY bad, at least in my neck of the woods.
Once I've bought food from a place and been forced to throw it out because it's too terrible to eat, I don't go back.
Go figure...

Taco Bell is still cheap here (I assume) but they taste like shit and occasionally someone somewhere in the Midwest is busted for putting feces in the refried beans.
Taco Johns is the beezneez however. But there's only one in the Madison area and that's in Monona so we don't go often.

Yogurt and shower has helped, also finally sunny out today (if only for today, alas) so i've been soaking up the sun.

What kind of bargain have you struck, CY?
(And yeah, after a week so cold I had to turn the house heat back on, it's sitting at a balmy 71 right now, though the yard is pure mud...)

Here is California , we have the ubiquitous family owned taquerias, which are literally the Mexican-American equivalent to the greasy spoon. Then generally cost less than Taco Bell for gigantic portions of better food.

They opened a Taco John's here a couple months ago, and I finally got around to trying it a few weeks ago. It was, in my opinion, ok. The tacos were fine, but nothing special. And the tots, sorry potato oles, were bland. Not even any salt on them. Don't think I'll go back anytime soon.Taco Bell is still cheap here (I assume) but they taste like s!*& and occasionally someone somewhere in the Midwest is busted for putting feces in the refried beans.

I remember Taco John's from when I lived in Colorado. Somehow less Mexican than Taco Bell, but not bad for what it is. So far as I remember, I liked the potato oles, but it's been years.

I'll go to a restaurant if it is cheap, good food, good service, pick any two. I live next to one that scores zero out of three. Go figure.
