I’m a Salesforce administrator.
Best Part - when I get to sit down and create a cool new feature or automation for my org, something that makes everyone’s lives easier and better.
Worst Part - having to teach users the most basic shit ever, like how to make a simple report.
Special Edition Worst Part - When I know things that my senior admin should know but doesn’t because she doesn’t seem to pay attention to anything she hasn’t directly touched, despite daily standups.
That’s super traumatic! I’m so sorry that happened to you.
Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!
Mmm sasparilla
Your rage is justified and the phrase “It’s an attack on our personal space” absolutely nails it.
Wow, that is really interesting. Thanks for posting!
When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
I’m surprisingly into it! I’m not much of a major sci-fi person, though I’ve dabbled. It’s a bit harder for me to get into sci-fi in general, and I figured Dune would be a difficult read. But I find it very easy to visualize. Sometimes the random terminology trips me up but I’m still getting the gist enough to enjoy it. I haven’t gotten very far yet so that may change but I think I’m going to like the book.
The fact that this meme is using Smithers is particularly ironic
I bet!! It sounds like you had a truly exhausting day!
I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.
I love Good Omens. Never fully got through Dracula but reading the annotated version, for as far as I did get, was fun!
Currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. (I have not seen the movie yet–I want to read the book first.)
Currently listening to Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. I generally reserve audiobooks for things I have read. I don’t like to reread things but I like listening to them and picking up on the stuff I missed (or in the case of the Dresden Files, forgot.)
They wouldn’t let you chill out in the lobby?
When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like “ANIME 2” so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.
Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There’s been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.
I think I’d like to get this; do you have a brand you can recommend?
I am a woman whose father was an abusive narcissist, the list of what I needed and didn’t get is depressing to say the least. So I’ll boil it down to its essence: Be there when needed. Remember she is her own person, not an extension of you. Try to make her life better than your own. Let your love be unconditional. It may not be helpful advice, but it’s all I got for ya.
Definitely not now, but before, no. Before I moved out, I was mostly supporting them, using the credit card I opened when I went to college. Took me a long time to work that debt off.
