      It's one of those projects that feel doomed from the start, and the manager disagrees with my suggestions of how to do it. I don't have a functional spec, nor do I have a complete and accurate API reference for the server I'm meant to be using.

            I know exactly what you mean. I was tasked to manage a project a year and a half ago that in my head I said "Shit, this is NEVER going to work"

            A couple months ago they decided to shitcan it

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              When people don't think ahead/anticipate life.  Especially when it comes to tasks they do on almost a daily basis.

              Example:  waiting in line for the bus.  Been standing there about 5 minutes with a number of other people, including the person mentioned.  Bus arrives.  People form some semblance of a line with their bus cards ready.  People start boarding the bus, scanning their cards as they board.  Person a few people up decides she is not going to get her card out.  Person is now in front of scanner.  Person doesn't know where her card is.  Person is holding up the line.  Searches purse, not there.  Searches pockets, not there.  Searches coat draped over arm, finally finds it.

              Did this take up much of my life?  No.  Is it incredibly annoying?  Absolutely.  She had a card, which means it's not her first rodeo.  Just think ahead.  Just a little bit.

                I will be in trouble if a certain person reads this.

                We're going to the pub or wine bar.  We have it planned for ages.  I get to the bar and ask her what she wants to drink.

                What then ensues is a 10 minute scratching of head, looking at all the drinks on offer etc etc.

                FFS, you kew we were coming for a drink, how difficult is this?

                  G… this annoys me to no end.  I have a good friend who i meet out for drinks quite often.  Get to the bar, and it takes an eternity to pick out what he wants.  asks the bartender what kind of bourbon.... nah.. that doesnt sound good.  What kind of single malt?  no 21 year? ok...well whats your gin selection?  hmm.  Give me a few minutes and come back.

                  dude.  youre almost 40 years old...if you dont know your drink by now...stick to soda.

                            Ebay ended my auctions of Chippewa boots because I wrote "fit like Red Wings in size 10,5" in the description. Reason: violation of brand names. WTF?

                              eBay's gone down the shitter. Especially their global shipping program is nothing but a fraude… Pitney Bowes Inc are a modern version of pirates... Use Grailed or Amazon, Max.

                                eBay went down the shitter a long time ago. I very rarely use it now. The place is just full of normal retailers. (Wait till HMRC gets hold of you……yep, it's coming…..bank on it).

                                Yeah, & f*ck Pitney Bowes Inc. Thieving C U Next Tuesday's!!

                                  that's not eBay's fault. If RW made a official call (what they needed to do) and asked to remove your auction because of the use of their brand name, eBay must end your listing…

                                          No, I don't want to upgrade to fucking Windows 10. And if/when I do, it'll be on my own terms. Just got a pop-up with a count down stating that Windows will upgrade to 10 in an hour. Not sure I managed to abort that shit, no clear way to do so..

                                            Upgraded two devices from 7 to 10. No issues. I think it's great and the best so far (had all Windows since 95).
