the one with the pet trex
the land that time forgot
possibly king kong
a percentage of gozillas

journey to the center of the earth

Tremors and sequels

graboids arent dinosaurs

graboids arent dinosaurs

Shriekers kind of look like tiny dinosaurs, but I agree.

One of the benefits of being a felon...don't have to vote don't have to jury duty.

You know how those emails from IT tickets say to 'let us know if you feel your issue hasn't been resolved'? That's so insulting to say "feel" instead of "think". As if we aren't smart enough to think. Absolutely insulting.

Sounds more to me like IT knows it is resolved but if the user feels (or thinks) it is not resolved then they can call in and IT will explain to them in a condescending tone how it is already resolved.

exactly.  the coworker is right to feel insulted, but mistaken in the way they've been insulted.

A senior manager and BFF of company owner asked me for a report to send to a client. I only had partial info, so I asked for clarification on the additional info from her. The info I got was completely unhelpful. And I independently discovered that supplying a thorough report is something she may not want to do. So, here's the thing. I don't know if she is intentionally trying to obfuscate the truth or she just isn't aware of a mistake made by someone else in my company. Like, it really could be either scenario and I have no idea which it is. If she isn't aware of the mistake, she would want know about it. On the other hand, if she's trying her damnedest to cover up something, I don't want to press her on it and get involved in that kind of mess.

Right now, I'm thinking that I may try to say that I don't think the client will be satisfied with the report as is, which is true, and try to feel out the situation a little further.

Can you say "Have you talked to [guy who made mistake] about his part of this?"

That position is currently open and she is sort of my boss in the interim, but not completely.

then you should be OK going to her and letting her know what you think. in person, preferably.

No. It's also possible that there was never a mistake and only deception from her from the beginning.

[slobber]

"How thorough do you want this report to be? I just want to know before I dive into this tonight and tomorrow."

This is really the question. Look, I don't know how old you are, but you don't want to work at a place that makes you lie to keep your job. Ask her the question. If she wants you to be thorough, then be thorough. If she says she just wants a brief recap, then keep it brief, but include something that vaguely references your concern, but you don't have to spell it out.

If you get fired next week, tell them thanks. Get a different job that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

Ugh, I just got into a big argument with a #WhiteLivesMatter guy at work.

I already know that I don't want to work there. And that they won't fire me. And I don't mind not being completely honest with clients. I just can't determine if I'd be sticking my nose into her scheme or doing something she'd appreciate.

[chum1]

See, because once I say something to her, she can no longer feign ignorance and the scheme is over.

[sys]

either way, chum1, you have the right to wet your beak too.
