  1. Back to every other weekend off.  I wanna just scream

    1. Desiderius Price

      Not sure if that’s an improvement from previous posts or not.  Anyways, good luck in hunting/poaching more time off.

      All I have to do is THINK the v word and the shit hits the fan.  Every time 🤬

  2. I am so fucking tired of double shifts.  ugh

      Find a better gig?  IIRC, you’ve been on double shifts ever since I joined the server (about eight years now).

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      The double shifts are off an on.  it’s part of what happens when you’re a manager in retail ya know.  I’m salaried, so no OT fer me

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, gods, been there, done that. I pointed out to one of my staff that they in fact made more money than me since they got overtime and I was salaried. It’s across all industries, I think, and it truly sucks. 

  3. So, like everyone else, I would really, really like to put this nasty hacking crap behind us.  Unfortunately, it does take time to find the likely culprits, whether individuals, or what they used.  I am making progress, but please understand I’m reading these things line by line by line

      Your dedication is very much appreciated. I can’t wait until I can post again. I’ve got a few new stories lined up and some new chapters of my other stories ready to go. When the time comes I’ll be waiting with all the new smut B-)

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Great!  What complicates things is my real job.  Been working hell hours again, so adjusting to that new schedule so I can focus on this again

      It must be a bear to work full time and mod and try to bug fix, which I appreciate … best wishes and Happy Halloween to you, pronker

  4. I need to spork out my eyes! :D

      Oh, true; but that requires one to crowd out the bad memories of what one’s seen, sadly; and to pay so little heed to it that it just disappears.
      Course, a genuine apology to one’s Maker is always a plus in odds of restoring sanity- but I do understand what you mean, DemonGoddess.

      At least you have filters for those logs. The cross referencing can be brain melting.  It would be more productive to use the spork on the the object of our frustrations. 😜 

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yeah, kind of have filters.  Going into the raw data and sorting it in a way that I can pinpoint a little quicker the incursions.

  5. Alrighty then…

    I watched Episode 5 of the Rings of Power.  

    There is so much wrong in this episode I don’t even know where to start!

    1.  Mithril is not a melted Silmaril.  The Silmarilli cannot be destroyed.  
    2. Galadriel is wearing the sigil for the House of Feanor.  She is not of that house.  She is of the House of Finarfin.
    3. Tar-Miriel never went to Middle Earth.  In fact, when Ar-Pharazon goes to Middle Earth, by this time, he has forced Tar-Miriel into marriage and usurped the throne of Numenor.  She is supposed to be Queen Regnant, not Queen Regent.

    I could go on further, but this episode has me even more furious at how they have destroyed the legendarium.

      InvidiaRed

      Elrond stealing the table is the best part.

    2. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      I’ll admit, I haven’t yet read the Silmarillion, but how the fuck can you fuck up a legendarium with such abundant source material?!! Like, Tolkien quite literally left us the equivalent of a guidebook… 

    3. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      @WillowDarklingSheer Unbridled Hubris.

      Hollywood writers seem to think they can be Tolkien but fail. It’s a a bad fanfiction based on something they don’t even have the rights to but think they can anyway.

      They’ll say things that come off fantasy-ish to a normal viewer but to the rest of us the character seems a bit stunted? Episode 5 pretty much cements galadriel knows she’s evil like a rabid dog chasing a car. And despite that the Harfoots are worse than orcs. Which makes it seem like Sauron is the one protecting the demonic critters personally.

      @DemonGoddesshit the nail on the head. Durin and company are unironically the best part of the show.  The sole flickering light of it even.

  6. I’m not sure what CAUSED the outage, but it’s now fixed.  It looks like our ISP had to reboot the server after I opened a ticket

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I managed to miss that outage. I was working on a spreadsheet, and then went out with the pup. I’m actually at my lake place now, and using my ancient and incredibly slow laptop, so I probably would have thought it was just my technology acting up again. 

      At least it was a quick resolution!

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Apparently we had a failing hard drive.  it finished failing this morning while I was at work, but Nexcess, being the excellent provider they are, had it fixed very quickly

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Well, if it’s like my recent internet outage, a squirrel did it.

  7. Apparently the code is not generating the reset link as it’s intended to.  So Manta is looking at that code snippet to see why, and to fix it.

      Awesome! I know it sucks to have to use what little free time you get to poke AFF, but we all appreciate it immensely! :hug:

      PHP is upgraded, and password glitch is fixed

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Thank you so much! :hug: 

  8. We are working on the password reset thing.  Now, as to the weirdness with the news, that was a corrupt table entry.  Both Manta and I were thrown by the exclamation point that displayed, as we thought it indicated code issues.  it was actually in the database, and is now fixed.

  9. Working on the next few weeks of schedules and hoping like hell I can manage an actual sane and normal schedule for me instead of 2 weeks on, 1 day off shit I’ve been doing.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Crossing everything for you! :hug:

    2. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Good luck, not sure if I’d survive such a schedule myself.

  10. So, work is still hell, still working entirely too much.  finally may have the email sorted out since I upgrade to Win 11

      Desiderius Price

      I wouldn’t fret, win 10 will be supported for most applications for years to come (like win 7 is).  The #1 reason I won’t be upgrading any time soon…heard they won’t let you use “local” accounts, thus I’d basically have to ask Microsoft for “permission” to use my computer, which isn’t how I like to roll.

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      keep yer fingers crossed that I finally get my damn store fully staffed, would you guys?  So, so tired of unpaid overtime because I’m salaried.

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      So, with the help of Nexcess, finally have the email thing sorted.  Didn’t think I’d EVER get that done! :lol:

  11. I FINALLY got the time to fix my computer issues, so I can access everything I haven’t been able to for a few months.  Now to get work under control, and I’ll be golden!

  12. Looks like I finally got around my browser issues.  Now to reset up email

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Congratulations! And Happy Thanksgiving! :hug:

  13. Ye gods I need applicants where I work.  Arrrrghhh :bash:

      Talk to the owner to raise the pay offers?  (oh, sorry, thinking outside the box here...)

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Seriously, if you were closer, I’d toss Elderspawn into your lap and tell you to work her to the bone.

    4. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      Given how Elderspawn has been making you fume lately, I’d be tempted to just send Elderspawn anyway… :devil:

  14. I will be very happy when July 31st gets here.  That’s when the extra $600 a week for unemployment finally expires.   That may sound horrible, but I’m on the opposite end of that.  I have worked through this entire thing, and the only applicants I’ve gotten for my critically short staffed store, have been applying for the unemployment requirement that they do so.  Have only had one day off since November 14th.  ONE.  Plus, I’m already on schedule for a minimum of 80 hours a week, and if anyone calls off, I get to cover it.  Because I don’t have enough staff.  So my average work week is more like 90 hours or better.  Awful damn tired of people working the system.

      Egads. Hope you go from understaffed to just staffed soon.

      We should have, between full and part time, 15 people.  We have 8.

      Well, like the others, happy (even more belated) birthday, BronxWench! :)

      Thank you! Honestly, I’m not all that bothered by getting older as long as I don’t act older. :lol:

      As “they” say, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional :D 

  16. Keep yer fingers crossed that we get staffing issues finally settled for where I work.  It has been BRUTAL.  Sixty hours worked since Saturday.  And I’m not done.

      I feel your pain.  Training the newbies – who are younger than my children.  As if the work wasn’t exhausting enough!  Good Luck DG!

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yep, get paid OT.  But, it would be NICE to be awake to enjoy it!  Ah well.  Going into my third hell week, and then things should be evening out a bit.

  17. One flower bed weeded,  four to go..

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I took the day off from one job, and I still have dinner to finish and a ton of laundry that needs doing….

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yikes!  I got my clothes in the wash, and got called into work to finish second

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      You have got to be kidding me… they can’t let you have ONE day off????

       

  18. woohoo!  Two days off in a row!  So far.  Keep yer fingers crossed!

      Have the garden gnomes made a tribe, and play drums to keep you awake at night as they pray at their little altar to their demon Goddess?

      weeds are certainly tall enough for me not to know!

      Desiderius Price

      Sounds like your yard’s a jungle.  It’d be a real shame if your phone somehow got “lost” in it for the next two days… I mean, you were simply unavailable if work decided to call.

  19. And my day off is no more.  Got called in for second shift.  Jeeez

      Honestly, you can’t keep this up forever, you know… You need some down time. :hug:

      Seriously, this is how the USPS ended up making “going postal” a household phrase.

  20. 85.24 hours this pay period.  AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH

      DemonGoddess

      Pay period is seven days, Wednesday to Tuesday.  So that 85+ hours was Thursday through Tuesday.  I also worked Wednesday for 13.5 and today for 10.5.  I THINK I’m off tomorrow, but I don’t know for sure yet

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      7 days is 168 hours, max, so yeah, 100+ hrs/week, that’s some serious overloading which I normally don’t hear about apart from the game development industry!    And here I thought you’d have a vacation or something, you deserve it!

    4. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      Where’s the “Yikes!” reaction button? 

  21.  

    70.45 hours and there is one more day to the pay period.  Put me outta my misery!

      I had a stretch with overtime like that and it was a killer, but the money was good. I hope you do get a quieter period coming up though after the pay period!

  22. Ugh.  Phase one of my VERY LONG WORK WEEK is done.  12 hours Wednesday, 14 hours Thursday, and 14.5 hours yesterday.

      We’ve had call ins as well.  Hence the excessive hours.

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      I prescribe you a two week vacation, you know, stress relief.

    4. Arian-Sinclair

      Arian-Sinclair

      Call ins should have a limit to them, not give anyone hours like that, with little chance to rest.

  23. So, I’m on vacation this week.  Not going anywhere, just getting caught up.  Caught up the yard, and am now working on the house.  And the archive. :D

      On your vacation? That’s really friggin evil. Tell them you’re in Hawaii. 

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      @DemonGoddess  IMO, a vacation is a vacation.   Too bad about the accident involving the phone and a sledgehammer….  Or, dismiss the call as a scam. 

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Now, if you still have to go in, make it fun.   You could leave an empty roll of plastic wrap in the restroom.  Or, go for the game/adventure with a toilet paper scavenger hunt.
