that the arrivecan app list of vaccines and the Alberta government record mf my vaccinations don't use the same naming for the vaccination I had first. I mean, I figured it out, but that's probably going to confuse some people.

Am idiot, can confirm that I don't know the difference mostly because I never cared to know.

I refuse to adjust my templated emails semiannual, and EDT would confuse the hell out of the majority of people I’m trying to communicate with.

I agree. Zero chance I'm ever going to say "MDT", nor have I ever come across someone that does this. Not once.

I'm one of those animals who references the city that I'm planning the meeting for. Calgary time, Houston Time, Chengdu time etc. It's so wrong and so clear.

This. I do a ton of work in Ontario and Quebec and always reference what ever city they are in so as not to confuse anyone. Gotta keep it simple for us dummies.

Capitalist propaganda, comrade.

There are very few things in this world that I hate more than "mandatory" corporate team building ice breaker activities except for maybe the people who actually think that it is a good idea. You can take your "speed mingling", "bingo ice breakers", or "trivia with randomly assigned team members" and fuck right off.

Being sick and having children that rely on you for survival. How dare they!!

Recovery was alot easier when I could lay on a couch and drug myself to sleep.

Outlook handles time zones for me lol

What year is it that we have to worry about that.

People's aversion to use the phone.

Situation
Me: Have we received XX information yet
Jr Team Member: No, I've emailed twice, no one is responding
Me: Have you called them?
Jr Team Member: No...
Me: .........
Jr Team Member: ...... Should I call them?
Me: ..........
Jr Team Member: Okay I'll call them

5 minutes later the information I've been waiting two days for is in my hands.

I have the opposite version of that at my current workplace. Things that really need to be in writing, and usually need to be in writing with a specific individuals signature on them, are given as verbal updates in meetings or in various wechat messages.

Boomers who think emails should be answered at the same frequency as letters.
