Shit that annoys you

.....during his retirement party.

Had a senior coworker ask me to stamp/sign work for him in a jurisdiction that i have licensure but he does not. It was a project for a notoriously rightwing company you all have heard of that is flagrantly antithetical to my personal values... so i politely declined and suggested he find someone else in the company licensed in that jurisdiction. At regional team meetings he has now made a couple offhand remarks about people not being team players and injecting politics into work... hasnt gone into specifics so ive just stayed silent. Doesnt really matter as he is 3 months from retirement, i have my own separate team and client list, and i am 100% comfortable with my decision to not help that company, but its still annoying. This was an obviously controversial company, and im in a deep/dark blue part of the state/country... he really shouldnt have been surprised or put off by my refusal and its annoying that he's being mildly passive aggressive about it.

Stamping work you haven't overseen sounds like a good way to lose a PE license regardless of politics.

I would have given it a quick review. SOP for national firms.

The NYT. I only count four as written. They can't afford another comma?

"He had five restaurants in New York: Café Beulah, Sweet Ophelia’s, the Shoebox Cafe, the Cecil and Minton’s Playhouse, which he helped to reopen."

All praise the Oxford comma. Although as I get old I find myself eschewing commas I might have once used. Gotta save energy at my age.

I’m a fan of the Oxford comma, but didn’t know it had a name until Vampire Weekend sung about it

There is something about Vampire Empire, by Big Thief, that I really like. Think it's her whoops.

Be sure to chew your commas carefully and thoroughly to avoid aspirating them.

Dad gave me some money last year, now his tax guy wants my social security number, even though the amount is 1) far below the threshold for gift taxes and 2) The recipient doesn't pay gift tax. My doctor's office recently got hacked and lost all their patients' personally identifying information, and now I'm supposed to give my social security number to some fucknut tax accountant?

I kind of want to ask to see the results of their latest privacy/cyber security audit (which most likely doesn't exist) before I give them that information, but I also want my dad to get his taxes filed in a timely manner.

Turbo tax.

Thanks but my dad is at the point where it's easier to pay the tax guy then to get him set up to DIY. Just fucking annoying that everyone asks for your social security number even when they don't need it and then they protect it with the same level of security they would use for girl scout cookies

Don't worry, man - your SSN is already out there... [emoji16]

Yup. All of your information is easily obtainable by anyone that really wants it.

I've been thinking about using a made-up SSN for this kind of situation, but have no idea what the implications would be

Just tell them you are not giving it to them or say you don't have one, that is what I do.

We random drug test at work.

I recently had a dental emergency and was in a lot of pain and was prescribed some narcotics to manage. Which allowed me to sleep through the night….

However - I was still in a lot of pain during the day but didn’t want to walk around the jobsite narc’d up, ibu alone wasn’t getting it done.

So… bought some CBD gummies - which actually worked (placebo or not...)

I sent a CYA email to my HR partner and regional Safety: This is what I am doing and why… I know CBD can have trace THC and trigger a positive drug screen… etc…. Sorry, not sorry…

Which triggered some awkward phone calls with corporate safety and HR:

“We can’t promise you we won’t drug test you. And if you test positive the email you sent will not protect your employment…”

“So you want me to walk the job on narcotics? Or not show up to work for two weeks?”

You may take my social security number but you will have to pry my Samoas from my cold dead hands. Or just wait for the diabetic coma and take them.
