Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?
Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.
In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”
As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.
As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.
@Alice Oh, the perfect toot. Can i boost that like once a day automatically?
@VeroniqueB99 Hi there. You feeling it too?
@VeroniqueB99 Not answering the phone is ok, too.
@FelisCatusDomesticus @VeroniqueB99 Finally some positivity.
@halva That's a whooping 100% better than politicians! I love indie devs, if i go through enough of them, i *could* succeed!
@rootcompute Cooperation is also important: https://poketube.fun/watch?v=8bvrpEEtSLU
@rootcompute Oooooh, counting. A very fun activity!
@VeroniqueB99 This throws me into very romantic blood hound gang thoughts.
You're a gem.
@noodlemaz You existed yesterday? And remember that you did?
@Alice Why would you apologize, you only help the good along on a chaotic timeline. A work of art is a work of art, you surely don't do lame "it needs context" stuff.
@cridge17 Haha, nothing i wouldn't do. But they were blasted into 1000 ears, imagine if 500 people hear me...
@malwaretech That's such a wonderful idea! Can i help you do that?
@yourautisticlife A toot that makes me shudder, for how little likelyhood of that there is.
@interfluidity Yeah, i was alluding to the problem of ethics not being on everyones mind, least of all on the mind of those steering society.
Since that goes on for quite a while, i was thinking that quoting land owners (that was the US founding story, correct?) might not be the most effective message for promoting ethical priorities.
@MaryAustinBooks Well, the oil mafioso is connected to our own mafiosos, so i guess that makes sense.
I always say those people are closer to each other than they are to any of their constituents, even if their constituents would not speak even one shared language.
@VeroniqueB99 And the El Salvador camps are the room where you get the cold hose?
@swampgas What about rockers that are bottoms themselves?
(Sorry i don't know the scene well, might be a dumb question)
I speak german and english.
Interested in:
- crude jokes
- philosophy
- how people get along
- different viewpoints
- gaming, especially strategy/arpgs
- (java) programming
If i reply but did not favourite your toot: most likely i forgot. I get caught up in talking, i forget.
I generally invite questions. If you look for a clue if it is ok to ask hard questions: this is it. As long as it is in good faith and you want to know wtf i was thinking, go ahead please.
