Let's Talk About Our Jobs!

The system! It is trying to mock me!

I have tried to put the missing items into that damned shopping cart like 20 times last week. Never worked. Also in the past three years, this never worked. I always ordered each item individually - for the things I need to order now this is not allowed (car + tires + gasoline cards).

Just now that IT person called me. Share screens, show him how to click through it, even though I already had described this in every detail possible.

And suddenly, while he is watching (remotely) - it works.

IT voodoo?

[Olax]

Most likely. My mom complains about this a lot. Everything seems to work just fine if I'm the one behind her computer, but the moment she touches it, things start exploding. Things that shouldn't be exploding, usually.

[Kimra]

Like the mouse?

[Astrogirl]

Exploding mice might help in user education.

First day as a mail handler today. I handled mail going to Canadia, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, China, Japan, Switzerland, and Slovenia. Maybe some others, but I don't remember them.

I also stood on my feet for eight hours, which is like, unheard-of. I have got some sore toes.

[Kovvy]

Congratulations on the new job! I hope your toes feel better soon.

Obligatory sexual harassment: You can handle my mail anytime.

[Sahan]

Hey Oldrac! I'm male.

[Olax]

I'm also male. Handle us!

[Lethal Interjection]

Won't the mail get wet?

[Kovvy]

I know I will.

[Amerika]

My Sensibilities!

[Oldrac the Chitinous]

For what it's worth, I was primarily handling packages.

ADDENDUM: They were the packages that were too big to be dealt with any other way.

[Edminster]

Wait since when did the TSA start filling in for the postal service?

[Kovvy]

WOOOAAAHHHHH!

[Olax]

The Tin Soldiers of Antwerp?
