    Had a really interesting exchange with a client today:

    Client: I just need you to create an eligibility report as per the ticket
    Me: Well the ticket just has a single sentence on it: "Create an eligibility report" so I thought I would ask you whether this is something you have had done in the past or maybe it's something that already exists in the server that you need me to run for you?
    C: No this is a new report
    M: Okay then, do you have a template or SRD I can get to start developing it?
    C: I don't have any of that
    M: No problem, you can just email me the details then, like parameters, fields needed etc.
    C: I don't have that either
    M: Okay then... How about we set up a meeting so you can walk me through what an "eligibility report" is?
    C: I don't know what it is

    I don't know how to respond at this point. I have my manager on another chat and I sent her a screenshot to which just responded with a bunch of ":joy:" faces

    I really don't want to be mean because at this point I'm getting a bit of a reputation

    hahaha sounds like fun @Brother Smoke

    I recently (I guess this was actually over a year ago now, but your story reminded me of it) had to onboard two new and very enthusiastic content designers. The process ground to a halt when I realized they were having an inordinate amount of difficulty understanding what a hyperlink is or how to create it.

    I was only made aware of this issue after one of them asked me; "How do you create the blue underlined words and make it go places." I couldn't figure out why they had been the ones who were hired.

    Thousand-mph tape is AWESOME!

    Though using it to cover/protect the electrical contacts on the back of a galley oven controller is not a good idea. since the tape is bare aluminum on the outside, it looked just like the housing of the oven controller. The connections to the controllers are powered. Instant white smoke test.



    At least the manager is on your side on this one!

    Nah, a plane slamming into your house like the worlds biggest javelin isn't rube-goldberg enough for a Final Destination movie, unless it's the opening scene and your one of the allegedly teenage cast that survives purely by being in the cellar making out at the time

    Yesterday a city official told me they had to tow my car, parked in front of my flat because it was blocking the way to a construction site behind the house. I told them to have fun with whatever car they towed, because it certainly wasn't mine.

    Today I found a letter in the mailbox about my towed car again. I don't even own a bloody car!

    You can still put the letter in another random mailbox, still more chance to get it to the right person! :D

    The difference is only one letter - and Rizzy already got a letter.

    It is probably just an error caused by the car being in front of your flat, but... You should go and check... Maybe someone registered the car/plate on your name to avoid paying fines...

    I have since called them and they (very apologetically) confirmed that it is, indeed, not my car. Apparently the idiot who officiated the towing simply wrote down an address (mine), where he was supposed to write down a name (after checking the plates) and an address. Seems like nobody bothered to check or just checked the street's name and not the house number.
