Re: 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?

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.
I mysteriously reappeared. Shazam.

Re: Let's Talk About Our Jobs!
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.

Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

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.
