My reward this Friday is recovering from the Omicron booster jab, a flu shot, and not having to shuttle anyone back and forth for routine medical stuff

I’ve spent the entire day in bed as a result, the fatigue is real friends
 
Friday was yesterday here and I gotta work Saturdays anyways. My beef is more with Garfield and his I hate Mondays business bullshit. I love Mondays, I never have to work Mondays.
 
TGIF = That ghastly infuriating fuck.
Welcome to Friday peeps 😑

Hey all, I'm located in California. I'd like to think I keep a good pulse on the streets, and right now, the streets are telling me that, as of 48 minutes ago...

I was expecting long meetings today because a lot of project were finally delivered and need some closing reviews, but no, it's the first friday in like 3 months where I just got an email from the boss "going to be out of office all day, dm if urgent, you lock the office"

me right now:

Bump bc it's, A) the day where I hop out of the fire that is the work week and into the Frying day, a Fry-day of you will and B) need to counteract the sudden "Friday" spirit of this board.

Friday sucks.

The day of evil.

Why yes, I would like to spend nearly two hours chatting with support while we re both talking past each other to start my day.

God this day sucks. I know it's Friday when I'm stressed and rushing around at work. Awful, just fucking awful. Boss even said the dreaded saying of the unholy one, "Happy Friday".... I told him that it was the kiss of death and so far it fucking has been.

I’m Commander Friday, and this is my favourite thread on Famiboards
To any famiboards overlords, please consider this as an official request to have "Commander Friday" demoted to "Chief Friday Apologist"

When you're trying to finish things up on the day of evil, you end up fucking up. I tell Google chrome to sign out a user then reset the browser, restart the browser and have the user log in. All of their shit was gone anyway.

Nothing like a nasty taste in your mouth to start the weekend.

Have you thought that maybe it's not Fridays fault, it's your job that sucks?
I my job is mostly fine., I've been around and worked some places. It's a good enough gig. Just seems like it goes to heck on Friday and it seems like any kind of support and admin roles goes a bit heck on Friday. We even made a rule at one point to not change certain things on Fridays bc weird shit just kept happening. It's like a 'oh shit we gotta do this' thing hits everyone and this isn't the first place this seems to happen.

This Friday got a pass. The exception that proves the rule.....

Actually this IS a good friday, pretty much this next weeks are going to be since at this point business is dead.

Also what's up with europeans dissapearing with any type of vacations? I don't expect to do any work and respect the time, but there are other things I could need to contact them, but they just dissapear.

Me "Hey europe man, I need Hans to sign some documents regarding his medical insurance and work visa for Mexico before Dec 17 th, otherwise we are going to need to wait until june 2023. I told him this 2 weeks ago"
Europe Man: "Hans is on vacation, he returns untill jan 17th"
Me "Ok , but can you contact him for this, he just only need to sign 2 documents"
Europe man. "Sorry he is on vacation untill jan 17th"
Me "yeah I know, but he REALLY needs to sign this, otherwise he won't be able to work here and his transfer is going to wait until June next year, is there any way to contact him?"
Europa man; "Nope"

Well, let's just say Hans is going to be unemployed until June if he doesn't answer my email.

And this is not the first case, and it only happened with europeans so far. Colombia, US, Canada or Malasia? Usually get a response 2 o 3 days later if they are out
 
Turned 20 today, now I'm an idiot 20 year old instead of an idiot teenager lmao.

My theory is Europe is a myth created by godless liberals. Mandated time off, Universal healthcare and God isn't mentioned anywhere???? Exactly the type of fake pinko commie fantasy that the libs are trying to bring here. No THANKS, we believe in God and work til we drop dead as is written in the bible.

Fuck Fridays. Fuck the last week of the year. Bullshit all the way down. I'm stuck cleaning up while everyone else has fucked off to holiday land. Fucking everyone sounds like they have something with no motherfucking mask. Fucking car repair people have had my car since the Monday before fucking Thanksgiving. Twice they said it was done and then turns out it wasn't. Fuck NYC. Can't reach anyone and people wanting you to do shit can't fucking understand it. Everyone is nasty as fuck to everyone else every-fucking-where and I'm sick of it.

Goddamn the holidays.

As requested, I am referring to today as "Saturday Eve The 13th". I will not be tempting the fates by referring to today by any other name.

Not gonna lie, has been the best Saturday Eve of the year for me at work, even things that aren't supossed to be working are working (seriously , there's an app that depends on a web service that it's not avaliable right now, and it works)

"But erm, it's the second saturday eve of the year"

I'm real with my expectations, just down slope till the end of year from now on

EDIT: Remember this?

Welp, Hans is unemployed and I've just seen a mail with like 40 responses of him asking his company why nobody contacted him, and they trying to make me responsible and I'm like "NOPE, here is the email, and the recorder conversation, go check with your office"
 
This Friday hate is confusing to me lol, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are easily the best days of the week for me
I think it varies between job / areas. For example in my case I do support for clients mostly in LATAM and friday is easily the worst day because out of 10 accounts , 9 left things for the last hour. At 5.50 Pm "Hey , we need to do this but the person that manages this went out, can you help" and it's going to take at least 20 min at best, so 90% of the fridays I know I'm not going out on time, and of course have to follow up on saturday because Murphy law and "hey that thing we did yesterday, messed up something"

I support the creation and widespread use of the term "Europe Man". Poor's Hans, partied too hardy....

As to Friday hate, ermiteon2 has it exactly right; it depends on what you do. My professional life has just happened to overlap with jobs that have, ehm, "Saturday Eve" problems. When I filed/organized docs and cases for lawyers it was "NEED TO GET THIS FILED DUE TO COURT DATE OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN." And just so happened that every deadline seemed to be at the end of the week. When I worked at the same place helping people google shit, I had to help those people do the portions of their job that needed computers. When I later worked for a motherboard company, end of week deadlines combined with working with people half a world away... Which led to is having 4 usable days of the week. Now it's company culture to finish what we can on a weekly basis... Leading to this thread. Hell, this morning my boss was mid spam filter service migration that he started yesterday just in case we needed today to fix any kinks... And guess what happened? Kinks.

I guess that's fair, it can def depend on the job. I've mostly worked pretty basic retail jobs and now I'm in college, so there hasn't really been any job stress for me on the weekends.

Oh yeah, a friend works in a bank and besides the 2-3 pm rush (which is usually only the 15th /30th here in Mexico) this day they usually leave 30 min earlier
 
Hey it's disaster friday again!
Me handling support "Hey that email sent by the company about updating my password didn't work, I can't log in now to my pc"
Me: "what email? you know (it's literally written in a board in each office) we don't send emails to verify passwords, send me a screenshot through the phone"
See the screenshot
"Hi, this is a official secure email! please log in to update your password or it will expire in 1 hour"
Me: 🤦‍♂️

Now we have a security reach, and have to wait untill every security procedure is run , so like 4 hours

I'm sure its over now, but know that I felt your pain today, although different situation. "So, we're replacing your computer, do you know what the serial cables coming out of the wall are for? Oh, whats this program on your old computer (after I hooked it back up), it controls the doors??!!!!" Yup, no one told us, even when we asked before hand. Just all around no bueno, shit sucked.

Taking a t break so about to take some nyquil to speed run until tomorrow and just forget it happened. Fuck Friday.

Yeah fortunately the impact was very low, so it only took 1 more hour than expected. Though we are going to probably have a meeting on monday as this is the second time in january this has happened

For your pleasure



Let the thumbnail flow through you. Let it sink into the deep, hidden part you keep shielded, where your faith in humanity, reality and the general greater order of things lies. It sits there now, forever taking that last protected part of your soul...

Happy Friday 😊
