I got yelled at because the manager didn't understand me when I told her what day I was quitting, to go to college.
I basically told her, "I can work until next Friday, but then I'm done." She thought I meant two Friday's from then. So, on my last day, I got yelled at when I told her I wouldn't be there for the scheduled shift on Saturday.
Spoken like someone who never worked in a restaurant in their life.
Unless you know of waitresses that get done with their 8+ hour shift of walking for miles and carrying the equivalent of a bag of cement half the time, who then smile and put on their dancing shoes.
I wasn't at my desk. I don't have a desk. I do onsite repair work.
That particular day I was in a fitness center diagnosing their Audio/Video system, and needed to speak to my tech support office.
I could have used the customer's phone, but that wouldn't have looked very professional. And if it wasn't cordless, I would be at the front desk, 100 feet (30 meters) from the A/V rack while calling about it. So, overall, Skype was the best option to cover the "Oh, FUCK!" problem.
I forgot my phone at home one day, and had to make a phone call. pull up Skype, pay $10, make the call. Lesson learned, stop forgetting phone.
Last fall I needed to use it for the video only, so a remote tech support could see the results as me made changes to a configuration for a video display. That was free.
I am so glad I am not tied to it for my routine jobs. And I don't have any friends, so there's that too.
I read the Fountainhead a few years ago. It was the hardest book I ever finished reading*. Ayn Rand's writing style is comparable to hitting her readers with a sledgehammer several times, then dumping a load of bricks on their head for good measure.
If you finished one of her novels, and are up to more more pain, it was a good story.
*The hardest book I didn't finished reading, and the only one I quit because I just couldn't force myself to read the horrible abuse of the English language any longer than necessary, was when I did a book report in high school on Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court".
The book report had to be on either a full book of at least 100 pages, or at least 200 pages of a longer book. I forced myself to read 200 pages, did the report, and never touched that book again. Twain had good short stories, of which I have read several. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are classics, and even they have a lot of ridiculous crap. But most of Twain's longer works were just gibberish wrapped as "American humor".
It was actually my second dictionary. My first one was a Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary from the late 1940s. It had several dozen pages in the middle of color images of plants, animals, world flags, and other things.

Yep. And I got modded down, so I burned up a point from someone who would have otherwise used it on an important issue. I'll call it even.
All of these Apple Store articles are just noise to me. I don't have an iphone, ipad, or Apple desktop or laptop.
I'm not saying to stop already, with the continua stories about apple products. But, I do ignore most of them.
*Go Android.
Actually, I wanted to make a crack earlier about you using a 'strong gay protagonist', but didn't want to offend. ;^)

Yeah. He had five of those boxes.
You expect millennials to move further than the couch in their friend's house to find work?

I read mine when I was 7 or 8.

You should find "Final Blackout". I read it long ago, as well as "Battlefield Earth". It is a very good story.
I read the first book about 20 years ago. It was good, but never had the chance to finish the rest.
Eh, I just finished your copy of it. It wasn't that interesting.

Nevermind that. There was a story in the news just now about someone named "Reality".
Can you guess their sex, or their gender?
My stepson once looked for a game store in the business white pages. It was called Toys & Joys.
He turned to the page with "To-" listings, got as far as "Toyota", and figured that the store wasn't listed, because he should have seen it by then.
A glaring spelling/grammar mistake in a post making fun of a math mistake is worthy of ridicule.
No, get your horses straight. Hillary did that.
