I'm reasonably sure it's fixed now. Last few times I visited the site it was working and I haven't seen it stop working.

EDIT: And as soon as I post that it stops working again. I think something might be happening when I post because the other two times I though it was fixed it stopped working after I posted.

It does the same to me.  It's a coin toss as to whether it will work or for how long.   :)

I start drinking pineapple juice as soon as people around me start getting sick.  It helps keep my immune system up and if I do happen to actually catch something, it lessens the severity and recovery time.  Plus it's delicious.

I was able to pick up a double pack of Pokemon Violet and Scarlet brand new from GameStop for $22 for my nephews.  Without my Pro extra 10% off and $5 coupon they would have been $30 as they are currently 75% off.  So, either way it was a good deal.

It wasn't working 30 seconds ago and now it is again.  Weird.

Haha, now it's not working again.   :P

I am so tired of lazy, selfish, rude, entitled people.   :argh:

I am not a personal shopper.  If you are too lazy/stupid to figure out how to put your items on hold, don't get mad at me because I don't want to go looking for your 20,000 item list.  If you can't read the "place hold" button on the computer when you look up your list, are you sure you're smart enough to read the books you're requesting? 

I am not a pack mule.  If the 10,000 books you checked out last week are too heavy to bring inside this week, don't get mad at us for not rushing out to empty the book drop every time you grace us with your presence.  If you want your items checked in right now, BRING THEM INSIDE WITH YOU

I swear these people need a leash and a handler because they're too stupid to be left alone in public.

We are FINALLY getting the HVAC system put in our new library building today.  It was supposed to be delivered in April.  So if all goes well, we will get to start the moving process! :mail:

I had to buy a new laptop yesterday.  The trivial complaint is that now I have to log into every site I was already logged into on the other laptop and I have to remember passwords...first world problems or what?

Thanks everyone.  A group of my co-workers is planning to ask the Board for a Closed Session in order to discuss the issues with our boss.  The closed session means she can't be there to hear what they have to say and it's not going to be a short meeting.

We're not sure if it's a coincidence that her name is Karen...
  So there may be some hope that changes will happen but I don't know if I'll stick around for them.  I am in the middle of a project that I would like to see through just because I want to see it complete so I've mentioned to my friends that my boss has until I finish it to change my mind about leaving.  At this point I think the only way for her to convince me to stay would be to fire the problem person and possibly quit herself.  I'm pretty sure if I leave, others will more seriously consider following suit, but since her precious employee is so perfect, they can run things without the rest of us, right?

BC, that's ridiculous.  Did they need to completely detail the car?  If they had seat covers all they had to do was either wipe them down or throw them in the laundry, depending on what they're made of.  Even new seat covers aren't that expensive.  According to Business Insider, you can call 800-593-7069 but there's no guarantee of getting a real person there, either.

Well, I'm looking at finding a new job. 

The situation with my co-worker harassing me has escalated to the point where I had a meeting with HR about it.  In that meeting my boss informed HR that I'm mean to that employee (even though I avoid him like the plague and have not interacted with him in months) and that the reason we can't have full staff meetings is because she "just doesn't know how that interaction would go."  I'll tell you how it has gone in the last 3 full staff meetings.  I make a contributing comment, he disparages everything I say and mansplains why I'm wrong while the boss praises him because he is the "best employee [she's] ever had."  All of my other co-workers think he's a jerk and nobody likes him.  So then I stop contributing at all and my boss thinks I'm not paying attention and gets mad at me for it.

Yesterday my boss announced a mandatory full staff meeting.  I'm sorry, I thought we couldn't have those.

HR is only listening to what my boss has told her, which is that she talked to "everyone on staff" about the situation and the information she got was that I'm mean to him and need to leave him alone.  Reality is, she talked to the one person on staff who tolerates him and twisted what she said.  The boss conveniently left out that that co-worker said he's always staring at me and finding reasons to come bother me.  Not the other way around.  But that would make her precious perfect employee look bad and we can't have that. :nope:

Mod Podge goes sticky over time and it absorbs reds and it ends up looking smeared.  I would second Mister Super Clear--I've found it at Hobby Lobby in the model aisle with the enamel paints.

I think my laptop is trying to poop out.  That means I have to start shopping for a new one.  Ugh.  But I've had it since 2011 and it can't even be updated enough to support Windows 11 so...yeah.  It's time.  :dumbpc:

I watched all of the reboot Fruits Basket this weekend, including the prequel movie. 

Currently listening to My Hero Academia while I'm working.

If it's a FBR and I used acrylic paint I just let it sit in hot water for a while and then peel off as much as I can.  After that I touch up the stubborn bits with acetone on a cotton ball or q-tip depending on the area needed to be removed.

I'm getting very dissatisfied with my job.  The work is fine but the management is awful and most of us want to quit.  I have enough set aside that if it gets too bad I can walk away without another job in place but I really hope it doesn't come to that.
