Me, who works for an ISP repair department having to explain to a panicking customer, in a nice way, that they are not special because they work from home and the technician that isn’t available until tomorrow is what they’re going to have to deal with until such a time as technicians drive fucking ambulances and their shitty job that will apparently fire them at the drop of a hat has no tolerance for technical issues pulls the stick out of their ass. Or maybe demand the boss pay for a dedicated business line for working from home if they are so worried about it.
I theorize a good percentage of the truly panicked “I WORK FROM HOME, I WILL LOSE MY JOB” people regularly unplug their modems when they want an extra break and now that it’s actually broken, they’re at the limit of what the boss will put up with.
Jesus, I remember the first time I got hit with that line (the old guys part, nobody has ever tried the fax on on me…yet). Just hearing it made me feel creepy considering the source, and I was only fucking 32. The girl was 17 FCOL. I literally noped out. Took off saying nope over and over again.
I’ve had giant leather bears hit on me and felt complimented. But that kid just skeeved me out. Luckily, it’s never happened with anyone that young again, but it still isn’t exactly the best line to use lol
People still use fax machines? I wouldn’t even know where to look for a fax machine these days! Is Kinkos still a thing? I think that’s where I had to go the last time I faxed something 20 years ago lol
Most copiers can have a fax card added. And most businesses that need a fax machine don't even do that. They have their VoIP phone service set up a virtual fax machine. If it even needs a physical part it's probably a little black box in a network closet, but now most don't even do that.
Real fun thing, did you know faxed advertisements were and are still a thing? At work we get like 3 random ads each day that come out of the machine.
Old SMS had some pretty crappy character limits so they went with the option that didn't is basically how I see it. Now, LINE is king. I've only used text with like two people ever in Japan.
Old SMS was free though, it used the spare bits in a regular phone call datastream. Meanwhile, the network provider charged you 10p a pop, and far more for any kind of data.
Isn’t this pretty much everyone? I set an alarm for midnight to go to bed, I do one more thing (not even game related), and suddenly, the sun is coming up.
Just let me finish up this war in Stellaris- (new, cool situation event chain starts) Ooh, shiny! (Gets flooded with 10 more story notifications about new anomalies and log entries)
(Can literally pause, save and exit WHENEVER I WANT and all recent progress would still be saved)
Sleep is a DPS loss. Keep a bottle of caffeine pills so when you’re in the slow part of your rotation, you can pop a couple. Also remember to keep your empty 2 liters on hand, you can recycle them into piss bottles.
And it’s time to move up to a standing desk. Gotta keep the deep vein thrombosis away, after all.
