@matigo In the case of this company, I already do…I took the job because it isn’t extraordinarily challenging but I also don’t feel like I’m wasting away; I get access to ridiculously good wine at trade prices (and tastings for free); and it was an easy in (they said I was their most memorable intern ever).
"Can you take these 6 pages and photocopy them, and fill in the photocopies? Don't write on these."
Good god, it's even worse in HR.
@matigo Well quite.
And I don’t see why my marital status matters in the slightest.
HR wants to know my vacation plans and hobbies.
I want them to bugger off.
“Unconfirmed” and “Wine tasting” should do it, given that my job description is “Wine specialist”.
This client, here for the tasting, reminds me of one of Cinderella’s relatives.
Praise be, I've managed to convince them that Google Drive would be a more efficient means of collaboration (as opposed to composing in Outlook and emailing back and forth, confusing the hell out of the poor IT guy who sometimes ends up having to redo the formatting 4–5 times because of "last minute changes")
@matigo No, but I am tired. Very tired. The "Outlook as an HTML editor" in particular does not sit well with me.

@phoneboy We do a lot of in-office messaging and editing, but these guys are so behind on what options are available they think Outlook is the best thing there is.
Have been added to 2 company WhatsApp groups so far…each of which has been muted permanently.
These guys really need to get a Slack channel. Or IRC.
Perhaps after I teach them why you can’t expect Excel to act like a relational database + report generator…
