Evening, all. What did I miss?
My confusion as to why second shift said "There was nothing to do all day, and basically no laundry," and yet the laundry wasn't done. She washed and dried one load, then folded 3/4 of it. Washed and dried a second load. Put a third load in the wash. And left 2 more loads waiting to be washed.
If she had been nekkid I would still be upset, but at least I would have gotten something out of it.

Hey NH, I think I just had a taste of something you've complained about a few times. The computer at work was acting weird, not able to access anything online using a web browser (which I need to do for some parts of the job), yet the property management software was connecting to central just fine. Eventually, a window popped up and showed the login page for the guest wifi. So, despite being plugged into an active ethernet connection, and to the best of my knowledge having never been connected to the wifi, the computer decided that it had to try and use the wifi instead of the ethernet. It was easy to fix, I just clicked on the wifi settings icon and told it to disconnect from the guest wifi and everything immediately started working, but it was weird. Extra weird? It updated yesterday, but if that changed a setting, why did it wait until almost 24 hours later to actually do anything?

Yes, the boss was SUPER specific that I'm not supposed to do that anymore.

Did he say anything about a South African accent?

I wish I could say it's a quiet day, out at the coffee shop and across the street the catering place parking lot has the owner's midlife-crisis ultra compensation FULL KIT Hummer with SOMETHING wrong with the wiring and its anti-theft alarm blaring for two minutes, turning off for thirty seconds, and then going back on again. It's been going on for three hours and the owner is out of town, cops apparently can't do anything about it.
Awesome.

If the alarm is already going off why not just steal it?

Lots of outages for various clients today. Construction crew took out internet to one client. Modem has to be replaced...again...at another. One scheduled for maintenance. Provider having an area-wide outage for another...
Nothing we can fix, but we're getting flooded with tickets and automated alerts.

Limey's Cool Story Time, Pt. 1.
Someone down the street from where I used to live had a moderately priced family saloon with a talking alarm, which used to go off accidentally very frequently, and went "*MERP MERP* WARNING!! THIS CAR IS ALARMED. YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT ON CCTV, AND THE POLICE HAVE BEEN INFORMED"
NB: This was probably a lie, as the police never turned up, most likely because nobody was ever trying to steal it.
Sometimes, when the air is still, I can still hear it, all the way across the other side of the valley.

Gluttony goes from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

I told them it was a short adventure.
There are no Spiders in the party, though, and none appeared in the adventure, though they might show up in future adventures. It's The Second City, after all.
