    Slow drivers on the left are annoying; tailgaiters are a threat to my safety. Become a threat to my safety, and suddenly I don’t give a shit about your safety. Get on my ass like that middle car and the first thing I’m doing is scanning ahead for a pothole or piece of debris on the road: if spotted, I’m waiting until the last millisecond to dodge it, and you get to drive full-speed into it. If not spotted, we get to drop a mph on the cruise control every few seconds until you fuck off.



  • Naw fuck that, if you’ve got good people on your team, nominate their ass! There’s been a weird stigma with that kind of shit as long as I’ve been in the work force, how it’s all just a popularity contest or shitty people always get it cuz they put themselves in.

    And that’s often legitimately the case, but it’s a self fulfilling prophecy if decent work goes unrecognized because the stigma with the awards like employee of the month. Put nominations in for real things that deserve recognition, and the nominations for that will stand out like a sore thumb against the bullshit ones.

    And people fucking love recognition! Even the ones who claim they don’t need it - you’ll make their entire week if you drop that on em out of the blue!

    Also many of those kinds of awards come with tangible benefits like cash bonuses, scholarship access, or promotion potential.

    The ‘losers’ get it when no one else is being nominated. Write that shit up!








  • On 28 February 2015, Roman Originals announced that they would make a single white and gold dress for a Comic Relief charity auction.[31]

    Oh man, MAJOR missed opportunity there! They sold out of the blue and black ones like overnight, they should have fast-tracked a white and gold version production to hit the shelves ASAP and enjoyed the flood of purchases.

    I did the color picker thing too, and its result was blue and orange. Not super helpful to this particular global controversy, but was worth a shot.

    IMO the color of the actual physical dress is kinda moot: photographed (poorly), digitized, and presented to the world on billions of screens with completely different settings for things like color saturation, and the color of the thing that hits our eyes is not necessarily indicative of the color of the original.

    The color of the dress in the photo was not the same as the color of the photographed dress.

    It was white and gold! sprints away
