What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[baldgye]

What bothers me is that there isn't any standardisation on landscape orientation, and if you turn off screen lock using your phone becomes a horrible nightmare...

[katushkin]

Who sold a giveaway thing?

Edit: Oh...

[katushkin]

Just bought Custom PC magazine, and in there they have done a big peripheral test, including keyboards and mice.

I am in dire need of a new mouse but their verdict on the boards in there makes me question their mouse reviews...

You bought a magazine? How quaint!

I actually bought two. And have a subscription to another. Heh.

Magazines won't die for at least another few decades.  Need a mostly full population over-turn, IMO.  Also, don't diss the print industry!

Stupid USPS, update ma tracking already!! They seem so random, sometimes things never even update until after it's delivered. I want my penumbra, grumble grumble...

They've been slacking a lot more lately. I've noticed that some packages I've sent to certain destinations taking three days as opposed two, and the tracking rarely updating aside from origination scans.

I bought a bunch of nut drivers and the tracking didn't update until after it was delivered, no acceptance scan no nothing.

Yep, every package I get from USPS has been slower for atleast 3 months, maybe more. There tracking has never been good for me, not once. It's pretty useless actually.

trying to clean things without access to working glasses

it's become a lot more annoying to me now that I'm just waiting for my glasses to arrive at the place and then hope that busses are running when they do

[bueller]

Stupid international post taking forever. I hate that whenever there is a cap sale I always get my Clacks/Bros weeks after every one else. The time it takes to arrive wouldn't bother me so much but by the time I get it most of the people who are interested in trades have already found what they're looking for and I'm stuck trading them for things I don't really want.

Took me MONTHS to trade out all the Clacks I got in the last sale

[iri]

sorry murica, i'm not coming to you.

[azhdar]

My USPS tracking for my brobots still haven't been updated :/

And this guy selling me andold board with vintage blacks. We agree on a price, he got paid on paypal, then disappear a week. He reappeared yesterday asking me if I would mind if he desoldered them so he can get the plate. I don't mind that much at this point since I would have probably dumpstered everything besides the switches in the keyboard, but now for the same price that originally I'm getting a lot less.

And in the afternoon he tells me he messed 24pins(out of about 120 switches) so he'll throw me generic blacks as a compensation.
At this point it was too late, because it was already sent.
Now I have to look if switches pins are easily fixable...

Wow, that sounds like a nightmare. You aren't even getting what you ordered now! And my USPS hasn't updated for my bros either.

That's pretty damn lame; he should be offering you - at the very least - a partial refund for not delivering what you paid for.

USPS has really been sucking it recently... but after a full week my Penumbra order just updated!

sorry murica, i'm not coming to you.

What happened?

[Abbi Bray]

I am bothered by an upcoming external audit in the office. Audit is equivalent to long days and nights. Seriously.

[iri]

sorry murica, i'm not coming to you.

What happened?

no visa sponsorship.

[katushkin]

sorry murica, i'm not coming to you.

no visa sponsorship.

So they knew you are Russian, interviewed you for a job in America, then didn't want to give you a visa? That is a really **** way of working.

The easiest way to get over here is via marriage... at least I've seen a bunch of "services" for that in China when I was there..

[Voixdelion]

Stupidity. Ignorance. Lack of respect. Society in general.

Just to name a few...

LOL -That stuff is ALWAYS a thorn in my side, but I have some new unusual peeves that are more pressing on my mind at the moment.  The first being WHY do those long legged mosquito eater things ALWAYS have to fly directly at my HEAD?  And the second is really bumming me out because I was really enjoying a new found friendship with a bona fide rock star celebrity and then someone must have started talking **** because he suddenly got all kinds of paranoid and apparently got all suspicious that we (my boyfriend and I) were somehow scandalous people trying to take advantage or rip him off and now I have no idea if he will ever even talk to us again and my boyfriend is doing nothing to rectify that situation which is really irking me since the last time we hung out, the guy actually mentioned that he might like to try writing with me, and I about died and went to heaven right there given that I would LOVE to given that a shot, even though I am not a "rocker" chick by genre at all...    I think someone who HAS been ripping him off doesn't like the idea of him getting close to people who are actually NOT scandalous and might make him more aware of the people around him so they planted some seeds of discontent to drive a wedge there.  Lord knows anyone who would think WE were scandalous is an idiot... or doing a lot of drugs. ...   I can tell the guy is not an idiot, so... .   

It just sucks.  I was really enjoying their company because I rarely get out of the house.  Hanging with him and his girl was very stimulating, and it is rare that I meet women in los angeles that aren't complete backstabbing dip****s and this one could actually keep up with all of us being 42 years old even though she was only 25... That's rare, so I really liked her too...    I just wish there was something I could do to reassure him, but I don't know if he'll even listen long enough to hear me out.  It just really REALLy sucks...
 
I've been stressing out about that for like a week now.  I can't concentrate on anything...

it's more complicated than that, but... whatever rocks their boat. i told them three times that i am not authorized to work in 'murica and i applied for a job exactly there.

Visa sponsorship can be really hard to get, so companies have to be picky.  They may have wanted to interview to see if it was "worth" committing one of their very few sponsorship spots to their candidates.  Sponsorship is not only a money issue, but there are also only so many granted by the US and each company doesn't get all that many.

(I am not a Visa sponsorship expert, this is just what I know from experience)

[demik]

iirc, companies are pushing to get more work visas. they fill up QUICK since there are so little of them.

My cats bring them up from my basement and then play with them upstairs, they always run along the walls and under **** and it takes forever to catch the the little bastards. I recommend putting peanut butter on one of those old school neck-breaker traps.

[fknraiden]

bought a lightsaver v2 from a seller in the classifieds, took the pcb out to swap switches and saw that its a v1 pcb in a v2 case. been waiting on this for a while now and finally tracked one down and this happens. no arrow cluster for me.

It's most likely that HR is just too damn lazy to do all the paperwork


The only time I've seen easy access from Russia to USA  that's solely for work, is for Physics and Math..

If you're a top graduate in those 2 from Russia, they pretty much give you an instant green light.. they don't even care if you speak ZERO english...  I was quite surprised by this.

But that should have no say on if a company employs you. Radical Muslims were are number one foe for the last 10 years, doesn't prevent people from employing them.

I had no idea. My bad.

If there is anything less interesting to me than British politics, it's American politics.
