Boss: This is the latest documents we have.
Me: Oh, that's v2, I have v3 here, so I'll send them over to you.
Boss: But it has (3) behind the filename. Isn't that uptodate?
Me: Nah, that's a copy of a copy of a copy. That's why I put a v before the number! ;)
Boss: I don't understand...
Oh boy! 😋

@benjancewicz Mmmm! I will go for Still Not Coffee, please!
@sergeant@mstdn.social Oh hou op, ik krijg spontaan honger nu! 🍴
Is dit voor de komende dagen ofzo? 1x koken, daarna geen omkijken naar?
@CarlCravens Except instead of bolstering the economy, it's actually killing the economy as nobody can work at fair prices because the prisoners' low wages undercut them.
@finity That was a terribly bland joke. 😋
“Why isn’t the new year on the winter solstice?”
The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.
Like, seriously, people notice "OCTOber" and "DECEMber" and say, "hey, those mean 'eight' and 'ten', but they're the 10th and 12th months, what's up with that?".
If you've got a little more history, you'll know that July and August are named after Julius and Augustus Caesar, and think, "oh, they added those two months and bumped the rest of the months back."
Nope. The Romans were way, way worse at calendars than that.

@noelle Ah cool. I've read this wacky story before in a chain of toots, this is easier to read. :)
@stardust That site can't be reached.
@freemo Hasparat might probably be a bit too spicy. But I'd love to try Red Leaf tea.
@freemo You should focus on the word spacing next, it looks a bit too cramped to read.
@freemo And those damn Bajorans still haven't erected a statue of Dukat!
@freemo I can't help it, but every time I read 'my child' like this, I have to think of Kai Winn. Most tainted words ever thanks to her, she was the best villain ever.
@Acer You'll see that those letters are used for navigation in more places... Reddit knows 'p' and 'n' at least. I think Gmail does too. And more that I don't remember.
@tripu I don't use it, so I can't compare alas. ;)
@Acer The opposite is also true, by the way. ;)
@Acer Hah! :D
@freemo Unpardorable? Isn't it meant to read unpardonable? Or is that one of the few notable mistakes?
@kadin I'm using it for years now, it's pretty nice. :) They keep adding features regularly.
@freemo One of my teachers from highschool could write in Flourish<tm> very well...
Made his text totally unreadable too. :D
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
