Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[RealAlHazred]

It's interesting to see customer shenanigans near the end of the contract period, before we know whether or not it is going to be renewed. Like, I don't think you can be less transparent about trying to wring every ounce of work you can get out of me before I'm gone...

EDIT: And I'm not canceling vacation plans to work on your stuff because you're not sure if your bosses plan to renew me. If they do, I will still want my vacation, and if they don't, frankly, I don't care about your problem.

Do you need me to repeat myself again?

Probably. I wasn't listening the first time...

One should not make assumptions about why people have plans over weekends, when they are trying to force others into working unplanned overtime.

You are lucky my wife doesnt have an appointment at the time, or I would let your project fail.

"I have availability from early morning until noon, on Tuesday."
"Great! I'll be there at 2:00pm."

Unrelated to your specific person/behavior of frustration (to which you attach an actual point about their behavior), I fear that 'touch grass' is quickly becoming the next 'triggered,' 'edgelord,' or 'live in your parent's basement' (particularly the first). It's the kind of thing any side of a debate can lob at the other, and increasingly I am seeing it being used in lieu of actual points and argumentation. Too bad in that I like the feel of the imagery.

I'm beginning to think similarly about "let people like things." While I 100% agree with the sentiment, it seems to mostly be used to just shut down any and all criticism no matter how valid. I get not going out of your way to crap on other people's joy, that's not what I'm talking about.

"I love this thing, but it's not perfect."

"Just let people like things!"

Ugh.

Probably. I wasn't listening the first time...

"Ugh, why won't anyone agree with me?!"

"Have you tried...actually being agreeable?"

"I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO!"

"I have availability from early morning until noon, on Tuesday."
"Great! I'll be there at 2:00pm."

I had 3 meetings dumped on me today, while I was leading other meetings.

They knew I was occupied.

It's that time of year, folks always do this, but times running out.

"I love this thing, but it's not perfect."

"Just let people like things!"

I... don't recall seeing such interactions.

Specifically, it isn't, "I love it but...". It is more, "Ugh, you like that? It should die in a fire!"

I need to get this on a t shirt for DMing

One of my old managers had a sign printed up and hung it on his office door.
