Incompetence at Microsoft

Whoever does user interface design at Microsoft is an incompetent ignorant imbecile.

When an application freezes and you attempt to close the frozen application a dialog box is displayed that asks if the user wants to close the application or wait for it to start responding again. Then after the user confirms that they wish to close the application another dialog box is displayed saying it is sending information to Microsoft and asking the user to wait. The send information to Microsoft dialog box always freezes.

So, let us review what is happening here.

  1. The user is experiencing an application freeze.
  2. The user just forced the frozen application to close so they can restart it and continue with their work. It is very likely they have lost work as a result.
  3. Microsoft adds insult to injury by deliberately causing another application freeze just so that they can be notified about the previous application freeze.

Are you fucking insane? You not do that you fucking assholes!

Worst job

What is the worst job imaginable? What characteristics make a job worse than any others? Are boring meaningless jobs worse than jobs that result in you being covered in filth all the time? If a dirty job provides an essential service does that make it better than a boring meaningless job that does not require you to cope with physical discomfort?

Is there any job in existence that is worse than Redundant Peon at the Redundant Department of Redundancy?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Regnad

There is a fork in the path ahead of you. There are also two signs, telling you where each fork goes. The sign for the right fork reads “Regnad.” The sign for the left fork reads “Shortcut to Regnad.” What should you do? Inquiring minds want to know.

Being a high ranking general must be difficult.

Being a high ranking general must be difficult. One problem you may run into is that you must choose your words very carefully. Otherwise the following might happen…

General: Hands assistant cold food that needs to be reheated. “Nuke this for me.”
Assistant: “What yield of atomic bomb should I use, sir?”
General: “What are you talking about?”
Assistant: “You asked me to nuke this. I need to know what yield of atomic bomb to use.”
General: “You asshole. Nuke is slang for microwave. I want you to heat that up in the microwave for me.”
Assistant: “Sorry sir. What settings should I use?”
General: “Microwave it on high for 1 minute.”
Soldier: Very well sir!

Being a high ranking general must be difficult. One problem you may run into is that you must choose your words very carefully. Otherwise the following might happen…

General: “Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure”. Stops paying attention and as a result does not hear the soldier reply.
Soldier: “Very well sir!”

Some time goes by. There is an atomic bomb detonation at the target that was being discussed earlier.

General, shouting at Soldier: “You asshole. It was just a famous quote from a famous movie. It was not an order.”

Hopefully there are many safeguards in place to keep this from happening in all militaries that actually have access to atomic bombs. If not, may god have mercy on us all.
