    Not sure if this should or shouldn't be a pet peave...

    Anyone else getting really upset with school communication in 2020?

    3rd party site to pay school fees. Every communication from the school office is another 3rd party site to download a 10mb pdf for 3 sentences that could have been in the email.

    Point form in the email. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

    Teacher stopped sending weekly plans for the classroom, sends a 20 minutes video (again yet another 3rd party site).

    Office today sends a 10 minute youtube of the fire drill. ?!

    I counted and I have 14 school related freaking websites linked, why do I need 14 different 3rd party logins that I'll never remember and really don't want to autofill for school communication. And each one has way too much of my personal information already - the one for the school fees really pisses me off, because it seriously has way more info than it needs + wants my banking info + it didn't exist last year and isn't part of the school board and is registered to a numbered company... How accountable is that if they're breached?

    I'll go smoke now. I'm even madder after writing that.

    Wow, that makes the CBE sound organized. And they are not. Worthy peeve.

    My pet peeve of the week is that I realized I do more items at work that are outside my scope of work than in and therefore maybe they ARE my scope of work.

    I continue to have peeves. Today, the fact that of the 3 methods of making coffee at my companys shop location, none produce decent coffee. I mean, I brought my hand-grinder and filters to my downtown office, but I can't really just bring that everywhere. Or can I? Fucks sake.

    Build a full kit into a briefcase and carry it around like an important ‘80s businessman; bonus points if you pop it open in public and just start to go to town grinding beans

    I grind my own downtown. The admin person says it's "too noisy" but also, I outrank her so whatever. There's no way it's louder than me swearing at people on conference calls, and I do that for much longer duration.

    I didn't realize we had defined scopes of work anymore.
    I'm pretty much responsible for everything short of invoicing...

    Even started doing operational incident investigations.

    Pretty skeleton over here and still at 15% pay cuts.

    Well, I handle everything with an entire division of the company for north america, including invoicing and payroll, but then also things for other divisions, and other continents, and sometimes IT support and legal advise. It's weird. I had to remind one of our executives that while I'm happy to review legal documents, and provide opinions, I'm not actually a lawyer.

    I'd think for a trip to the field you'd pack a lunch and a thermos, wouldn't you?

    I’m sure you could find something around the shop to substitute for a bean grinder. Get creative, show them why the engineers make the big bucks

    It's not the beans, or method, it's the water. Our coffee at work sucked, so I brought my own beans and French press. Made it exactly how I do at home, but it still tasted like shit because of the water at work. Even filtered it's still gross.

    The most useful and diverse tool out there in the oil and gas world.

    Pry bar, hammer, and in some cases a wrench... and now, coffee bean grinder.

    I know. I'd call any time I had to leave my office a trip to the field, and I'd pack a sandwich and a thermos.

    I have mental problems.

    Ever since H-Mart opened near Stampede (14 Ave, 1st St SE), cars are always parked in the street constantly even during rush hour when you cannot stop. I was entertained when a tow truck driver zoomed by and picked up a civic in literally 1 minute and left. Waited 5 minutes later and saw a bunch of girls come back and ultra shocked that the car got towed.

    I think that street is a money maker for any parking patrol or tow truck drivers. Amazing to see 5 cars parking there in a no-stop zone.

    So many pissed drivers on the left lane

    Someone decided to barricade our alley with nailed boards in the night for some reason. Poured water all over them to freeze them into the ground too. With 2 whole houses on this alley I’m not sure how they thought this was going to work out well.

    I bet this doesn’t happen in Aspen.
