Updated to Windows 8.1 because someone told me I was stupid not to update.

Every time I signed in BSOD would appear after ~5 seconds. BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER error.

Figured I might as well unplug everything that uses a driver or whatever. Found out it was my Bluetooth stick.

Updated every driver I have twice, plugged in the Bluetooth stick.

edit: Now I think about it, this is not a bluetooth stick. This explains so much.

Ah Temps. You're like real employees, but without those pesky rights.

Or equal pay. Or seniority. Or benefits.

I email our accounts payable section to inform them I've receipted 3 invoices on 3 separate orders, meaning they should now be ready for payment.

I get a reply saying "Please receipt more." followed by a generic copypasta of 'helpful' info on how to receipt and who to talk to if I need help following the instructions.  No indication of which order they want me to "receipt more" on, how much more they want me to receipt, or why they want me to do that in the first place.

I email back with a single line email that says "How much receipt more?" - I should really have been more professional and formulated a proper reply, but I was just so bewildered by how vague they'd been and how they could possibly think that reply would accomplish anything at all that I couldn't help a little snark.

They reply with the same copypasta, nothing else.  As though maybe if I read the incredibly generic instructions that I've already followed and they've already sent me, somehow it'll all fall into place.  It didn't.

I reply with the email I should probably have sent the first time, explaining that I'm not sure which order/invoice they need me to receipt and why.

This time they're halfway helpful (it's a generic account monitored by many people, so maybe today was the competent staff's turn) and tell me the order number and invoice number and that it needs to be fully receipted.

I reply and explain that I can't fully receipt the order as I still need authorisation from the CA to receipt the other invoices matched to that order, but that in the meantime I have receipted a high enough value for the invoice I specified to be paid (per my original email).  This time I spell out exactly which invoices are on the order, what's already been paid, what's ready to be paid, what's not, which receipts I've carried out, and how one of those receipts has not yet been used and how it matches up with the invoice I'm asking them to pay.

They reply with the generic copypasta and no more instructions or information.


I don't really rage, ever, but god damn they're trying my patience.

Noooo, don't let grammar and punctuation die!

How dare you, Alev! Can't you follow the rules?

Spoiler: But seriously (click to show/hide)

I think that means we can't rage about another user. Not actually that we are forbidden from mentioning anybody by name.

Gentlemen, please!
Can't we solve this with good old fashioned violence like civilized folk?

I brought a Davy Crockett from home. Can I use that?

[TD1]

I have a shard of a cityslickers disc...

Can I use that?

[Orange Wizard]

I'll take the one on the left.

[Flying Dice]

The regionally appropriate option for me would be 'all of the above', I think.

So I just "beat" Gone Home. I don't think I can even call that a game since it doesn't have any actual gameplay. The story wasn't really all that interesting either. I might as well have gone to the library and checked out a YA novel, at least that doesn't cost $20. I feel like it would have worked better as a book instead of a game. It wasn't even marketed as a visual novel. How did it get such good reviews?
