      @superball Never mess with me before I have my morning tea! I do think it’s utterly ridiculous that I have to do this review every few years or so though

        @WeirdWriter It is ridiculous. One of my friends cares for her husband, who suffered a permanently debilitating stroke, and deals with the same bullshit. I’ll have to pass this along to her. 😁

              @stephaniepixie Her Tone is what really got to me. No sympathy whatsoever! I shouldn’t even have to do this ridiculous review every few years AnyWho. Thank you! Don’t fuck with me before my morning tea! Smile!

                          @mayintoronto I should have included a note with the latest eye chart that said your letter did not cure me!

                              It could have been worse (for the office); Karen could have been using a thermal-paper fax machine.

                                @WeirdWriter I'm surprised that people still use fax machines when there are so many more convenient ways to send a message!

                                  I used to work for a company that had a contract with TI that allowed us to resell the Silent 700 terminal (and consumables). We didn't sell many terminals, but we had to keep at least one box of the official TI thermal paper in stock (to be able to supply our remote sites, where each terminal needed at least 1 spare roll of paper on hand). That contract was the best way for us to keep enough paper reliably in stock.

                                  Everyone was using thermal paper fax machines at the time.

                                          @AnnaBaguenaude @superball All because people hate poor people! I was talking to a minority republican acquaintance of mine. He likes me 1 trillion times more than I like him, but he was trying to say, that the Republican party gets a bad reputation for hating people of color, poor people, and otherwise. I pointed out all the policies that his party enacted as a punishment for being poor and or disabled and or unable to work. He said and reply, but that’s the thing. Everybody that can work should work. The government should not take care of you because you want to sit at home and be on social media all day. He said my tax dollars should never go to anybody that isn’t trying to better their lives and that whole conversation literally did absolutely nothing to convince me that they do not hate anybody they do not know.
