30 second MS Paint self portrait but my director pointed out that i always start every meeting doing this and said that my energy is admirable and something to aspire towards. and i'm documenting this because i genuinely think a part of my brain is subconsciously being influenced by HIM

Me: if I were working with someone on a project, I’d like to be reminded of the deadline early on and often

Me: ~treat others how I’d like to treated, reminding them of the deadline 6 weeks ahead, 3 weeks, 2 weeks ahead~

Them: radiosilence

Me: hey uh, the deadline is next week, can we make sure we’re on the same page about this scientific poster that you’re allegedly first author on before I print it?

Them: radiosilence

Me: okay I’m printing it today, Thursday, just in case something goes wrong, because I need to make sure this poster gets to Barcelona on Tuesday where there is no onsite printing at the conference… what is wrong with you Europe

Them: radiosilence

Them Friday afternoon, before Tuesday morning deadline: oh I didn’t realize the deadline was coming up! Can you send me the poster

Me: ….. okay *sends fifth copy*

Them: Oh here are some (minor, nitpicky, nonsubstantive) edits. They are really important! I have an MD so everything I say matters even though I didn’t lift a finger for all the analyses here! You must make these edits!

Me: it’s kind of late to do that, I already printed, it cost a bunch of money

Them: you sent reminders about the deadline too early!

Me: how about next time instead of sending reminders I kill you

hot take: if an office/remote job requires mostly email communication, the interview questions should be written. There should also be a sample email that you have to write a response to, and something that tests your ability to draft an initial email about something related to whatever the job is about.

if you really need telephone skills as well, then there should be a mock call that is similar to the calls you'd have to make on the job, e.g. you are given a document to read beforehand and have to answer some questions about the content of the document on the call. No more of this "tell me about a time when you...." bullshit, just assessing things that are Directly Related To The Job, Please For The Love of God

your favorite of my favorites: A Book Poll

okay, i have now officially seen Just Enough open tags to override my vampiric need to be explicitly invited into things, so! here are my (current) Five Favorite Books for y'all to vote on, in order of Publication Date (and incidentally the order in which i read them)

shout out to @e-b-reads and @beardedbookdragon for the recent open tags! i am inflicting this on paying this forward to @asexualbookbird and @alloreli (who i warned), and to @sixofravens-reads (who i did not).

"The skinwalker studied me, and idly nipped another finger from the unconscious vampire girl. It chewed slowly, with some truly unsettling snapping, popping sounds, and then swallowed. 'You will trade with me.'

"I frowned. "Trade?"

"The skinwalker smiled again and tugged something from around its neck with one talon. Then it caught the object and tossed it to me. I caught it. It was a silver pentacle necklace, a twin to my own, if considerably less battered and worn.

"It was Thomas's necklace.

"My belly went cold.

"'Trade,' the skinwalker said. 'Thomas of Raith. For the doomed warrior.'

"I eyed the thing. So it wanted Morgan, too. 'Suppose I tell you to fuck off.'

"'I will no longer be in a playful mood,' it purred. 'I will come for you. I will kill you. I will kill your blood, your friends, your beasts. I will kill the flowers in your home and the trees in your tiny fields. I will visit such death upon whatever is yours that your very name will be remembered only in curses and tales of terror.'

"I believed the creature.

"No reflexive comeback quip sprang from my lips. Given what I'd seen of the skinwalker's power, I had to give that one a five-star rating on the threatometer."

The Human Factor (1975)

"How does this put Mr. Kinsdale in difficulty?"

"He's found his killers. And he doesn't want them in jail. And neither the machine nor I know just how successful he's going to be."

Me, watching That Happen: "OH. OH THAT'S BAD. BUT THAT'S REALLY COOL. OH THEY'RE DOING THIS. THIS IS HAPPENING. WHAT A COOL WAY TO VISUALIZE IT."

Me, watching That Happen Again, One Minute Later, But This Time It Looks Silly: "Oh. You messed it up. Guys. You ruined it. It didn't have to be this way."

one thing about classicists, we never fucking learned dates

Half the reason trigonometry is hard is because the functions are all named so terribly. One of them is sine and then the other 3 are named "sine but we changed it, because the function is similar to sine"(and then there's tangent) But because the names are all in fucking latin there's no way to think through them logically unless you know latin (not a skill most people learning trig have) and so you just have to memorize the differences between a bunch of arbitrarily similar things. We should give them better names

I really wish there was a way to articulate how just annoyingly unbalanced Tera Raids are without being accused of being bad at them.

Because like. There's a fun challenge, and then there's Blaziken starts one shotting anything you hit it with, even really bulky Pokémon like Archaludon at about halfway through the fight

"Oh but you're supposed to do online" WELL IF THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE ONLINE THEN THEY SHOULD MAKE SURE ONLINE FREAKING WORKS

Plus in my experience online doesn't even make it easier it just makes you lose faster
