Customer: we are doing this like it says in the manual. Me: you’re not. C: yes, we are. M: I guarantee you are not because that procedure is copied from the previous manual and I am the one who wrote it. C: ah. 😑

16:58: needed admin rights from IT to change a network setting. 17:02: needed them again to change some driver settings. But the freaking IT guy left at exactly 17:00. 🤬

Annoying day spent fixing a machine lthat 3-4 techs‘worked on’ for the last 3 months. Things that didn’t need to be removed were, cables removed, a real Easter egg hunt just to find out what they did. Long story short, turned it on and found the power supply was dead like I’d told them in Feb. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Carrot Joghurt. Huh.
A mid for a Joghurt container. The flavor appears to be orange-carrot-ginger.

To the little white Kombi from Göttingen. I realize all the curves and narrow roads over Splügenpass are new to you and you’re being extra careful, but there were 6-7 of us behind you for what felt like 30-40km. You couldn’t pull off in to one of the many way areas along the way to let us pass? 🥺

Stage plate for a laser. Just provisional until the vendor can send the ones that were missing.

I ordered 4 AAA rechargeable batteries and was delivered a kitchen scale instead. While going through the online returns process was sent to a page on how to resolve this myself with ‚helpful‘ tips. One was basically how to open a battery door and another, weirdly, how to wear a mask. 🤦🏻‍♂️
A picture that is NOT 4 AAA batteries.

Big Spargel pushing Stories again. Bets the first recipe is with hollandaise? (I’m firmly in the camp of white Spargel being the saltine cracker of the vegetable world and only useful as a carrier for whatever sauce it’s served in).
A Rundschau story declaring how healthy asparagus (Spargel) is as a veggie.

Automated speech to text on the internal office sharepoint.... it started off okay, but ended with: "...für sie litten über teams flight magic individual for thick puppies pestan" Either the AI sucks, or my colleague just had a neurological incident. 🤔

The latest iOS update has moved app updates behind another menu. So instead of opening apps and clicking on Apple account, you now open apps, click on Apple account and now have to click App Updates. 🙄 The German term for this is Verschlimmbesserung. 😑

Rewatching elementary because I’m stuck home sick and bored and I have an issue. I watch with subtitles because I don’t always catch everything spoken, but the subtitles are wrong. Fatal instead of deadly, House instead of building. War instead of ‚were‘. It’s really bad and rampant.

Watching an increasingly annoyed looking magpie build a nest in one of our trees and keeps either getting the nest material caught in the branches, or dropping it and having to retrieve. I hope they aren’t as protective as crows when it comes to defending their nest. Painful memories from childhood.

Foam inserts for some metrology tools for a friend. Mistakes were made, but should work out in the end.

Weird behavior from a company. I have a subscription until September, but received an email last month that I have until 27 March to accept new pricing or my account will be frozen. Fine print, I will have full access until September, but HAVE to accept new pricing NOW or they cancel the sub.

Tasked to get a raisin osterbrot, no icing this morning. Line at bakery was like 30 people long and there were two (2) raisin osterbrot, no icing left. Finally only one person ahead of my and there is one left and I hear her say "<indistinguishable> osterbrot, no icing" 😱 fortunately no raisins. 😅

After my old barber left to do his own thing in another town, I’ve been bouncing around different hair salons and barbers and not finding one I like. Finally found one in January. He informed me today he’s leaving to do his own salon in another town. 😵‍💫😑

Listening to Project Hail Mary audio book and the voice actor really leaned in to have slurred/tired speech to indicate how out of it the protagonist was at the start. REALLY leaned to it. I was about to stop listening to it. At which point I realized my audio book player was set to 1/2 speed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

SQL DB hell. Machine moved from Minnesota to Bayern, domain account can log on if the network cable is pulled, but not otherwise. Someone disabled the sql service, but only the local account can reactivate if domain account sets local as admin. And the ODBC link to sql is a different server name. 🫠😵‍💫

Confirming my wife’s thesis that I am an Unruhestifter, the local auslanderamt now are arguing with one another what Pass(Ersatz) means exactly. The argument included one woman PRINTING OUT the paragraph to show the office guy who didn’t agree that it is a valid document without the passport.

Customer was dialed in to their Betriebsversammlung while I was working on their machine and it really stood out to me how often the word ‘emotional’ was used to disarm/negate contentious subjects brought up by people. Both by the bosses and in one case by a member of the Betriebsrat. 😑
