I can only upvote this because they did finally help her out in the end. I was going to be very disappointed if they just laughed at her misfortune (though absurdly comical it may be) and left her to suffer.

Holy shit I would so watch that. This could be so absurd it could be great.

Banning you would be absurd. You are one of the most genuine individuals here.

Because it was absurd. I would have put the JUST JOKING thing in except I only have the SARCASM thing.

You have a point, it was always double OH seven.

I remember the stress put on distinguishing zero from O back in college CS classes, quite a while ago. Presumably for the sake of the keypunch operators' time.

Indeed, when the only way of producing a character is to write it, distinguishing a character from a glyph may seem to depend on an absurdly fine point. Printers had to understand, but most people weren't printers. I have seen a number of older typewriters that dispensed with both 0 and 1: One just used O and l instead.

DID WE MENTION THE MOOD LIGHT?!

Seriously, if this were April 1st I'd think this was a really implausible gag product. There can't be any real sort of market for such an absurdity.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I could go off on a frothing at the mouth rant at how bad it was, what we went through. To save money our original company, a nationwide US health insurance company, outsourced us right at merit raise time (nice touch, a-holes) to an off-shore company that would probably only ever meet expectations running an assembly line operation for building PCs.

They were out of their league taking over level 1 and 2 operations for a large company, which was already working through the pains of merging with other companies they had acquired. Instead of inspiring the legacy workers to stick around to make the transition work, their attitude was we were lucky the host company insisted we get first crack to reapply for "our" jobs. Like it was all one big assembly line and we could be easily replaced with someone with an A+ cert for $11\hr. The equivalent of pulling up to a storefront and having IT landscapers jump in the back of a pickup truck to work that day. Might work for an assembly line but not for a complex embedded IT infrastructure with 1001 local support quirks. They were completely clueless.

Add insult to injury, their internal processes were so bad, over the course of a year they asked us continually to remind them of the phone# of the iPhone they gave us and the serial# of the laptop they gave us. At least half a dozen times, it was fucking absurd. And when we were offered an incentive to help reduce the ticket log backup, they mailed unsigned money orders to fictional home addresses they had on record for us. With the stamp on the wrong part of the envelope for those lucky enough to receive their unsigned money orders. You had the option of mailing the money order back to get it signed (good luck getting it back) or committing a felony to get the money you legally earned, by not using the first option. Took me 7 months to finally get my money order, who knows where they originally mailed it. Their indifference during this whole mess was staggering, you had to badger management and HR like they were a deadbeat drunk brother-in-law who owes you money.

And they kept putting off the review\raise process until they finally offered us 50 cents an hour for the highest performers. I gave my notice the next day.

Sorry for the rant, it was such a colossal failure on all fronts, except no doubt for the amount the host company saved on IT during that time. But of course nobody is interested in capturing the countless hours of downtime and lost productivity introduced by these IT cost "savings". Last I heard they were putting the contract back out to bid before the scheduled end of the current contract, which doesn't surprise me. What a freaking waste.

I hope you find work soon, Ant.

Entirely true, but not entirely unexpected. America (and by that I mean the leaders) has spent so long stomping around and declaring itself the leader of the free world that unilateral action without US approval has become somewhat rare.

I'm sure a lot of American's are fed up with the absurd cost of doing business as the leader of the west of course (both financially and in terms of lives lost/time spent), but it leaves an uncomfortable vacuum when the POTUS checks out of the game. I also suspect that many countries are wary about Tump's erratic reactions to whatever they do.

Kudos to Uhlman for saying what a lot of folks were thinking though.

Sorry, didn't realize until now you don't have a sense of humour or the absurd. Noted for future reference.

exactly!
i thought it was funny in an absurd way,because the shit i find funny is absurd half the time.

there is a reason why i tagged it comedy and parody.

*this video should not to be taken seriously in any fashion.

That's absurd. American "cheese"? What a waste.

While I'm all for learning the language if you plan on moving somewhere else to live and work, prohibiting yourself from speaking your native tongue in public is absurd.
