I am becoming convinced that the weekend dispatchers are on one drug or another. Either that or something is wrong with my file in the central office. They keep assigning me loads that, to be frank, I'm not supposed to be doing. Loads that get picked up 400 miles away. Overnight trips to other states. I'm a local driver who starts and ends each day in the same yard, not OTR.

And to top it off, all of this is happening on a day when I'm the only driver in the yard; my co-workers apparently have the day off, and when they do I'm supposed to as well. They never have just one of us working. I'm gonna need to speak to my manager come Monday if these guys don't get things sorted.

The wifi is being an absolute dick to me, it took me a whole hour to make one post a while back...

Yeah, it sounds like there is some kind of mixup. You probably should talk to your manager.

Trying to sort through job postings is a pretty solid WTF, just because of all the titles that give you absolutely no idea what they're hiring for.  I've seen like 20 variations of the title "Account Executive", which means absolutely nothing to me.  It's like they have a hat full of important-sounding business jargon, and pull 4 words to mash together at random when naming positions.

Yes, exactly.  I see four types of job postings.

1.  Doing what I already do, which I want to get away from.
2.  Specialization in other fields that I'm not qualified for.
3.  Shitty dead-end entry level stuff that would be a huge pay reduction.
4.  Regional business development analyzation assistant manager.

This fucking sucks.

The wifi is being an absolute sea slug to me, it took me a whole hour to make one post a while back...

FTFY.

Does anyone know whether Hanslanda is still around? I haven't seen him in quite a while.

[Neonivek]

Ok I am going to have to give credit where credit is due.

Lazy Town

It is a show for kids about diet and exercise, mostly about being active, and it has characters who are basically cardboard cut outs of stereotypes like Computer Nerd and Junk Food lover.

Yet what it does that no one Kids show trying to beat a "message" into you does is that... It never tries to convince you that Computers or Candy are bad things, in fact even when those kids become active in the show they are still all about computers and candy, even going as far as to have an episode about how just sitting down and not doing anything is good for you once in a while. Heck a few episodes have computers or candy be the solution to the current episode's problem. It always focuses on doing them to excess.

If this was the carebears or something along those lines. That Candy would have probably been tainted by EVIL to make you fat so you stop caring about people and that you should just stop eating candy altogether.

The show also hits that perfect level of cheesy for me to love in spite being for kids.

Remember the secret of a successful diet isn't trying to find ways to eat less and each lighter.

It is about finding ways to eat more and eat better.

He was last active February 2nd, but hasn't posted since early January. Not really quite long enough to say he's gone, I'd say, but enough to take note of.

[MaximumZero]

Lazy Town is creepy. That loli is way older than she looks.

Also, my WTF is that I've sold 10 phone service packages today. I work at GameStop.

[GiglameshDespair]

Honestly, that guy's dick looks like a sea slug.

Don't they all?

It looked like a horrible wet mushroom!
Get it?

I'm pretty sure those kind of jokes are forbiden, ddynamo.

I'm sorry...
I felt like being immature for a second.
Liar! When aren't you immature?!

[Orange Wizard]

Well, the terrible jokes thread is pretty immature.

He seems to be saying they're reserved for the Vice President of the United States, actually, which would make them suitable for very mature people indeed. He's pretty old.
