50/50 odds seem decent until you think about all the times you guessed wrong when it comes to plugging in a USB cable.
USB cables actually have 3 ways you can plug them in the up position the down position and the super position. Until the USB is observed it will remain in the Super position and not fit.

And since I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats with antici......PATION! Yes, I did get my package today. Turns out I was right when I thought that Amazon might be sending it to my local PO instead of one in Chicagoland like I had originally assumed. So, yay! I got my stuff!
Told ya if amazon prime says your going to get it your going to get it.

One of my friends says about USB cables: "It's always on the third try that it works. You try it, flip it over and try again, then flip it back to the first way and that's when it goes in".50/50 odds seem decent until you think about all the times you guessed wrong when it comes to plugging in a USB cable.USB cables actually have 3 ways you can plug them in the up position the down position and the super position.

Yelp that is because it was in the "super position"

How'd the training go anyways?
She dipped out on the third day, but she will still be by herself Thursday and Friday with only 2 days of training its her own fault so :P
She has already told people she didn't like it because of how boring it was. Hey I told her to bring a book. They should of known better then putting an extrovert on my shift.
She talked my ear off and then said I was to quiet. I'm thinking girl your not going to last 5 minutes by yourself.

Yeah. one of those people that can't function without continuous human interaction?

It is kind of fun to watch them suffer during the night, though. Because I'm not a conversationalist.
She spent most of her free time looking at clothing and shoes on websites. Seemed so boring but whatever floats your boat I guess of course as bored as she reported it could not of floated it to well.

I am conflicted, on the one hand I hope the other crew can work by themselves so coworker doesn't have to manage them and we can get done, on the other hand, it's really, really nice working by myself.

I don't know. I am an introvert but I suspect my PBPing is my way of getting human interaction. I could happily PBP all day long, though.
And I can be downright chatty(FAWTL), or even on PM at times.

Send it to the cornfield, Anthony.
another excellent episode.
Loved the update to it in the semi recent twilight zone series, they got the original actor to come back and reprise the role. The ending was predictable, but he was still terrifying as an adult who had not mentally developed far.

Which author?when your favorite authors write for the setting until they get their own world, you learn a lot. Also FR is f~**ing omnipresent.Freehold does seem to know Forgotten Realms quite well...Narfell would be the wisest choice.
No wait, Golarion would be the wisest choice.

So more fun with the banks.
Last night I received an email from the investment bank I used to have accounts with, long long ago, informing me that the funds from my deposit were now available. The only problem was, I hadn't *made* a deposit.
It took some digging on their website to get to the place where you can see a scanned image of checks and discover that they had transposed the number of some other woman's account and deposited five grand that belonged to her in my account instead.
This morning when I phoned the company, it took three different people twenty minutes to locate the account the funds were supposed to go into, even after I gave them her name and spelled it for them. I heard "Thank you for bringing this to our attention" more than once.
This makes me really nervous.

As long as you don't spend the money and it's a legitimate bank, I don't think there's any reason to worry. I mean, what's the worst-case scenario? Someone's trying to phish for valid accounts at said bank so they can then drain them. Since you don't have any money there, they can't really do that, and there are much easier ways to phish for cash.
So my bet is legitimate clerical mistake on the bank's part.

No, I'm assuming legitimate mistake, and I'm not worried for myself; I have no assets with them anymore.
My concern is, as with Amazon food delivery, any system can be completely bollixed by one inattentive human... *and they had no idea it had happened*.
I mean, can you imagine that woman, checking her account to find out where her money is, most likely being told "Ma'am, it typically takes xx to xx days to process, it should show up in the next day or two", and then it doesn't, and *then* having them track it down? I would hate to be that person.

I just cannot comprehend the mindset of some of my co-workers. They act as if communication is an act of betrayal.
This week's example: I am performing lab testing for a course. This involves testing through the steps, editing the lab documents, and posting them to a public forum. Quite frequently, you'll find a step in a later lab, say, "Oh, whoops! I missed that on that previous lab," go back, and fix it.
We're under time pressure this week, so the project lead told all the team members to go ahead and apply my feedback as I completed labs. Except she didn't tell me about this plan.
So I was happily updating labs, found a mistake I'd missed, went back, corrected it, and another team member said, "Hey, why'd you overwrite all my changes?"
"What? I haven't released the labs yet! You shouldn't be editing them!"
"Oh, the lead told me it was OK."
"xxx."
And it's not the first time we've had serious issues with her just not communicating with the team. She tells one person to do xxx, it conflicts with what the rest of the team is doing, and she doesn't tell the rest of the team, so... inevitable conflict.
What is SO hard about CC'ing the entire team on things you tell people to do?

as a former bank employee, I can tell you someone got written up over this unless their name or account number is very close to yours.

No; she was supposed to be the team lead for this project, but she'd done so poorly on the last project that she asked to be the "team coordinator" instead, and then as the "team coordinator" she didn't provide any communication or coordination. The rest of us eventually gave up and whenever she asked us to do things we checked with the other team members, because we figured she wouldn't have told them about it.
I don't think she'll be leading any more projects for a while...
