  • I got sent home for the day because I responded to the wrong email. I clicked on the wrong email and wrote a response that didn’t make any sense.

    From home, I sent one last email to work saying I wouldn’t be returning to work. That was the last thing I said them. That really pissed them off, they tried so hard to get me to come back in for an “exit interview”, which is just what they use to cover their ass. They even withheld a bonus check. By law, they can’t withhold your last paycheck owed, though.













  • Not so good for building things, eh?

    The hard mounting points, set in concrete for a large generator are to be 60 feet apart, per the manufacturer’s instructions. The construction company rounds 18.288m to 18m because “significant digits, oi!”

    The mounting points are now 28 centimeters too close together. The generator shows up on site, and now needs to sit to the side for four days while the hard points are moved. Or, maybe longer, because concrete trucks need to be scheduled ahead of time. It could be two weeks.


  • They should limit free searches to a certain number per day, maybe 10 searches. That way people would come back knowing they can try it again, making the free level actually useful, and perhaps eventually get pulled into paying for it. The 100 searches hard limit wasn’t enough to convince me that I should pay $5/mo., or whatever it is, for just 300 searches. I’ve never gone back to try it again. It should be $5/mo. for 100 searches per day. That would get many more people on board, since that’s more than most people would use in a day, and they could still have the higher tiers for the heavy users.

    They’ve priced it wrong if they want the site to grow. But, maybe they’ve priced it right for whatever size they want it to be.
