Shit that annoys me at times are QR codes on every menu.
I get it for printing cost savings and having to wipe down a menu from children spittle, but I don't really like carrying my phone with me when I go out to a restaurant, just give me the paper menu and I'll be happy. [Luddite out]

Employers using antiquated technology for job applications.
No, I’m not going to provide you with a nicely formatted resume and then type all of that information into your little text boxes.
You are showing me that your company does not value efficiency and time management. Goodbye.

^I'm told it's so they can search easily for attractive buzz words or phrases, or something.

Sure. But as a software guy, if you want to use 2007 era software to attract talent, you’re not going to succeed very well. Says too much about the organization and it’s lack of solution forward products.

Grocery store Sushi. It has become a game of them seeing just how incredibly thin and meagre-ly they can slice the fish before customers say this is bullshit.

Hiring systems and job requirements pre-2020 were designed to weed out the chaff by being intentionally difficult or choosy so as to winnow the pool.
Not surprised that some HRs haven’t figured out that if they want to hire people they should make it easier. It’s sort of the equivalent of the business that posts some semi-nasty job job requiring “no whining”, “pride in your job,” or whatever other bullshit they thing their staff should deal with. Smart job seekers are using it as a screen to avoid bad companies.

I had some excellent $32/person all you can eat sushi in LV the other day. Although the menu was a QR code on the opposite corner of the table from me, which I had to keep rescanning because of my fucked up ad-ridden QR scanner and the fucked up menu--I gave up and let my kid order. I don't know shit about sushi anyway.
Costco near us in Sacramento has some decent sushi.

The rice at the Allbies is actually excellent when you hit it right. The Sushi people are from Burma, of all places. If you wonder where I live, think of the absolutely most expensive tourist place/ski town you can think of.
Ain’t no ‘cheap’ takeout Sushi here, really.

The last job interview I had was a couple years ago, right before covid. I made it to the in-person round. I sat at the end of a long conference table of high ranking dept heads at least a dozen stories up. They knew my credentials, but couldn't believe that I really wanted the job. When I convinced them why, all they could ask was how I could manage, sort, organize, and track all of my work by myself.
I told them that I wrote the software myself, flipped my laptop around, showed my workflow while they all crouched over and looked at my screens partitioned, including my interview notes and progress notes as it was going.
I asked them about certain legal normative positions they held- they deferred to oblique answers. Then I asked if they had anything else for me because I had a long drive home.
They never even bothered to call back, or e-mail. Then a buddy of mine became the head AG, no shit, we actually started an entire law review together from the seed. I never did apply again. I think that is the last time I actually saw Danno. We may have gone for a beer afterwards. I didn't track that. The whole point of that job was so that I could be free to just think and write, and not track shit. I guess that backfired, and thus TRG is stuck with me.Is it radix panax notoginseng? - splat

Pfffh. She is the real hero we all need half of.
Or, 1.5 of? Or 2. I used to be a high school math teacher, but it all goes to shit in that zone. I also had an avatar for over a decade that just said, tits or gtfo. Those were the days man. Those were the days.Is it radix panax notoginseng? - splat
