You should have had someone in her office change her resolution when she was AFK.jakebonz wrote:
Turns out, she was the only one in both companies still using a 800 by 600 screen resolution. Because of that, I was forced to completely redesign the look of the site. The bright side of it was that it kept my contract job going another few weeks.

I actually just showed my dad this a few weeks ago. He tripled his productivity!Hell-haine wrote:My manager, sitting at her computer:
"Helene! Helene! Come and look at this, I need to show you something!!!"
"Hmmm Yes?"
"Look look, you need to see this, look, with my cursor I am highlighting this sentence OK?"
"Mmmm'K"
"Then I right-click and select COPY..."
"All right"
"Then I open a new document and select PASTE" (Big smile on her face)
"Yes... I see. OK and?"
"There! We can copy and paste something!!!!!!!!!!!! What a gain of time right???!!! Haha that's great!"

Okay, I've read this now about five times and I still can't even begin to wrap my brain around that statement.riley-o wrote:I'm listening to Pet Sounds and one of the girls who works here came in and went "ugh, the beach boys ?" with much disdain. i said, "yeah... ?" and she goes, "god this is like, a 60s version of nickelback."
this was a few days ago now and i'm still shaking my head over it. one of the other guys at work heard about this (because i told him) and he berated her for a literal fifteen minutes about not knowing a goddamned thing about anything. he came in the office the next day while "wouldn't it be nice" was on again (because pet sounds rules), and he yells "pfffff, B-SIDE..."Deleted Account wrote:Okay, I've read this now about five times and I still can't even begin to wrap my brain around that statement.riley-o wrote:I'm listening to Pet Sounds and one of the girls who works here came in and went "ugh, the beach boys ?" with much disdain. i said, "yeah... ?" and she goes, "god this is like, a 60s version of nickelback."

You should see the "Photoshop" layers. One includes paintbrush strokes to fill in the gap between two parts of it. Hell, you can even tell the frames were Lasso'd out of the original image.Pisscubes wrote:jakebonz wrote:This is more dumb things I've seen at work, but anyway...
So, I'm on my 3rd tour of contracting duty at the same place, with the same - FUCKING - website. The thing allows another company to customize mailings (basically junk mail) and then have us print their customizations. The place I work at does not design any of the products. The customer designs all of the artwork, we here just print it and send it out.
While the site I developed is technically done, the other company sent in a ton of new artwork to add to the site that basically should have been sent a month and a half ago. With the other programmers already busy enough as it was, I was called back in. It's nice to get some extra cash in my pocket while I look for another job, but what I got called in for is truly ...
...Here is the main focus of the artwork I was sent:
Notice anything, well, wrong with this image? Like, so wrong you'd notice it right away when it's printed on a poster-sized product (which is available)?SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
AHAHAHAHA!!! Did someone make those glasses in MS Paint???

The people I'm making the site for are generally a bunch of assholes, so we didn't say A THING. We'll just let them order HUNDREDS of them and mail them out to unsuspecting recipients.
