  • there’s a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes running small businesses all over the place that think they own their employees and can boss them 24/7. this could totally be a legit posting somewhere.

    if you want me answering my phone 24/7, you’re paying me 24/7–and providing the phone you want me to answer.

    alternate labels:

    top: amazon prime shipping
    bottom: amazon standard free delivery.

    whenever we have prime (trials, always), orders come almost always from the nearest distribution center, which is also the city where all our mail goes for sorting and is postmarked at.

    when we don’t, orders are held for a full day before processing on their end, and then they ship from far-distant distribution centers… like florida–1500 miles away. packages travel from d.c. to d.c. on amazon trucks, as many as five or six stops, before arriving at the ‘local’ d.c. where the prime shipments originate from.




  • i turn on the oven right before grabbing the pizza. by the time the pizza is unwrapped, and doctored-up if i’m gonna add something, the oven is ‘warm enough’. if a brand of pizza routinely gets done ‘too fast’ on the bottom, i put a cookie sheet on the other rack underneath the pizza with about 4 minutes left. if i add lots of cheese or other stuff to the top, i might pop on the broiler for the last minute. only need 325F regardless of what the box says, and less time than it says, and the rack the pizza is on has to go one notch higher in the oven than for everything else. my oven is stupid. it only took like 10 years of trial-and-error to figure out the best way to make a frozen pizza in it, and step 1 is ‘ignore the instructions’.







  • not defending hp at all, but it’s a sub service and not any different than the cable company shutting off your internet (think: ink) for not paying. the modem (think: printer) is still there, but doesn’t ‘work’ until the bill is squared-away, even if it’s your modem-not theirs…

    printer is enrolled in “instant ink”. those instant ink cartridges they send out are custom, ultra-high capacity ones you can’t buy retail (decreases costs of shipping by greatly reducing the frequency of those shipments). of course they’re gonna shut it down if you fail to respond to the barrage of emails and popups that preceded that point.
