Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you're the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn't ending anytime soon.

Didn't care that I'd had a TL cover for me as we'd always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That'd be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

I think I saw a snippet from his biography where Franz (head designer) convinced Elon to make the car so it could also have a steering wheel so as to not get fucked if fsd doesn't work out.

Supposedly took a lot of effort to convince him.

Guess that didn't pan out in the end. Nothing about that car is designed for non robotaxi use.

Why would having sex at a party make it trafficking.

It's just paid for underage sex at a party.

Unless she was trafficked at the party by someone else, but I don't think that gets the person paying charged with trafficking? That would get the person who trafficked her that charge.

With electronic voting, random audits of the paper ballots should be mandatory before the next president is sworn in.

It should be done by an independent organization.

You could audit specific machines or counties, just get a good smattering around the country. If a red flag goes off on the audit, then do it all since it's now compromised.

I guess that makes your comment woke.

There goes the Google monopoly case.

I saw a recent article that'd be great for their first

Ah, I can see how that may have come across like that. My bad.

It used to not lower the window and could damage the window.

Shortly after the 3 was released it was changed. When there is power it lowers the window now.

But if there is no power, it can't lower the window and it may break.

The front handles aren't hidden. They're so obvious everyone I take in my car tries to use them first if I don't tell them.

Back doors is a whole other story.

A lot of us walked/biked to our grade school as well. I can't remember which grade I started walking, but I was definitely doing it in 4. I'd wager even grade 3 but can't be 100% sure.
