When faced with a series of unfortunate events, I make a series of poor choices.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

just walking around, burning books and gassing jews.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

the only nazi emblems are his maga/GOP worshiping things.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

lol. no. everything you said, just… lol. no.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

to emphasise something missed - you said the employee using the old machine asked for an upgrade?

make sure you have it in writing. from them, in a full clear email, what they want and exactly why they want it. They need to be verbose enough to cover every point. (it’s okay to secretly help them, but do NOT have your fingerprints on it).

Then, reply and forward that email to your boss, with your professional opinion of their request and their reasons for it.

Include cost for proceeding, and what the costs will be for doing nothing.

Acknowledge that this matter has been spoken in person, an apologise for the informal tact; that this email is intending to follow proper procedure, which you will continue to do in the future.

Ask to confirm their response so you can officially deal with the matter one way or another.

The main thing to add, to clarify: you are the middle man. Don’t make it look like you are the one wanting to do this. The employee is. You are wanting to do your job, which is dealing with problems that are brought to you.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

read the OP. There’s owners above the boss. The owner isn’t stubborn, the boss is. They are different people.

If his boss is wasting money/putting their business at risk, they will care.

regardless, the entire point of this has nothing to do with bosses, and more of disentangling OP from this mess. It looks like it’s his pet project, when it should be the other employee’s request / issue.

That’s the whole point. It’s not about a paper trail (though that helps). It’s not even about convincing his boss about this. It’s him dealing with a problem below him and covering his ass. If his boss says no, great! He’s done all he can.

So far, he hasn’t done the first step, which is get shit in writing.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

3 2/10 cm is easier than 3.2cm?

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

you don’t get it.

your tools and materials will come in metric when everything is metric.

doing things on 1/10 of an inch or 1/10 of a cm is the same as 0.1 inches or 0.1 cm.

1/16 = 0.0625

3/16 of an inch = 0.1875 inches

as in “1/16th” literally means “one divided by sixteen, so do extra math instead of just giving you the real number”

decimal doesn’t mean, nor have anything to do with metric.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

you’re talking about two or three different, unrelated things.

  1. decimals vs fractions - you’re whining that 1/16 gives you more leeway, but too stupid to realise that 1/10 is less precise and is the same as 0.1

So either you’re happy with less precision - and decimals are good, or you want more precision - and decimals are still good.

Again - absolutely nothing to do with metric. You can convert 3 3/4 inches to 3.75 inches, 3 12/16ths or 3 7.5/10ths of an inch. They’re all the same thing and all imperial.

  1. Tools. The topic is “using metric”. Once you have all metric tools, then it doesn’t matter. You’re trying to change the topic to buying new tools. Unrelated. Using a tool vs shopping like a princess for new toys. We’re talking about using tools.
  2. but hey, while we’re on the topic of how dumb you are, let’s keep using what you say against you. You keep saying “it doesn’t have to be that accurate” well, okay then. then get a sharpie, write the approximate metric conversion on the side and get on with your life. A 5 minute job for someone who I presume can write numbers and count to ten?
  3. I knew there were more. What you don’t get, what you keep missing, is that 1/16 is smaller than 1/10. that means your bitching about “tighter tolerances” applies more to dicking about with 1/16ths instead of 1/10s (which again, is decimals, nothing to do with metric)
ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

unrelated, but does everyone else remember Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog?

ASeriesOfPoorChoices, (edited )

I’m with you bro.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

step 1: PASTURIZE YOUR FUCKING MILK.

jeezus christ on a cracker.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

fighting neo-nazis is ALL our jobs.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

let’s not forget he is also a pedophile.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

no. in so many ways, no.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

it existed, we just didn’t embrace it before 1994 or so.

whatever that means.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

it’s not weird at all. it’s completely likely. Conservatives tend to project.

what they claim to hate, they usually are.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

I’m sorry that reality isn’t to your liking. Would you like to speak to a manager about a refund?

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

no, it isn’t. take your weird homophobia elsewhere.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

I mean, you’re right (see most every election before), and we shouldn’t become complacent.

vote early, vote often.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

you mean, Donny J Trump, the convicted felon? I too am glad that we can officially call the convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

they should.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

why would I be in the white house on January 20th?

I mean, I know my user name, but that really would be a series of poor choices.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

you’re the real MVP. thank you.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

huh? why would I have anything that runs that garbage os? no ios.

and no paid software either.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

yeah, fuck Linux.
