Sorry for the double post - I should read ahead…
Anyhoo, I tried it on a Mac using Firefox and it didn’t happen, so maybe it’s a glitch in Safari?
Yeah, my mac geek wasn’t concerned about spyware either. It is obnoxious, isn’t it? I’d like a paste option of “paste text only” like Excel has.
Have you tried Apple-Shift-4?
Had to do some more research - finally discovered that the bastards at tynt.com are behind this copy-and-paste nonsense. It’s a JavaScript thing that sends all the text you’ve selected to their servers for processing. No idea why it doesn’t work on Firefox for Mac (I’m sure tynt’s developers will manage to “fix” that before too long).
Just did - no luck.
Do Macs have the equivalent of a local HOSTS file? You can add tynt.com to it and redirect it to your loopback (127.0.0.1) and it will stop pulling the annoying Javascript. In theory, anyways.
Yeah, I could do all that stuff, or just delete the extra crap. 
You’re an online clothes site - your whole business is shipping clothes that people have purchased over the internet. Do you think you could expand your minds and consider that maybe people outside of the United States would like to purchase your clothes, too? There’s this really awesome thing called a “credit card” that takes care of all the foreign currency exchanges, and this other really cool thing called a “postal service” that will mail the stuff right to my door, if you put my address on it. You’d be amazed at how many people in the world actually use the internet!
I’ve posted about the Most Entitled Woman in the World, a gal I work with. I may have even posted before about how she “disappears” our silverware. (In the beginning, I bought a cheap set of silverware because I eat my breakfast here, sometimes my lunch. And, frankly, I just think it’s classier to have real silverware.) Anyhoo, she uses a piece here, a piece there and they disappear. We are now down to one fork, one spoon, one knife.
I think she uses them, and leaves a dirty spoon or fork in her office for days and days. Because she’s too lazy to walk to the kitchen and clean it. Then, after a week or so, she just throws the dirty spoon away.
Or, she’s taking them to her other office or home or something. I’ve never seen anything like her.
I usually have a fork, spoon, and bowl at work, and I keep them in my desk. I just didn’t want other people using my stuff, but you’ve given me another good reason, niblet_head.
Don’t even get me started on my stuff. Can’t tell you the number of times she walked into my office (next door to hers), taken my scissors, and then not brought it back. Just puts it in her desk organizer with all her pens. Like it’s hers.
Grrrrrr.
Some days? It’s life Office Space is my life.
Ok, so she’s here right now. She hardly ever comes in during the day when we’re here. Usually only at night. She’s had two dirty glasses on her desk that have been sitting there for a week. Let’s see if she washes them.
Or disappears them.
Hey Student Loan Company,
If I tell you I need to do “x” to my student loans, that means ALL of them. Not just some of the private ones, not just a couple of the federal ones, not just the ones you secretly sold to some other company but still do the management of and accept payment on and how the fuck are they even different now anyway. ALL OF THEM. Don’t fucking come to me months later and ask why I haven’t addressed those other loans, saying it’ll be another $100 to fix the mess.
Fuck you.
When I have to go out of town for any length of time, I make sure my steel-toe shoes, safety glasses (I had to supply my own to get ones that fit properly), and calculators are secured in my desk. I’ve never had any problems; I just don’t want anyone getting any ideas.
I’ve had to lock up and/or hide my label maker and three-hole punch.
It’s that ridiculous.
I realize how petty that sounds, but I’ve worked in offices long enough to know that people will practically come to blows over the GOOD stapler - you have my sympathies, niblet_head.
When I went through my desk on my first day of work, I found three staplers: two newish Swinglines and an extremely battered-looking Rexell. The Rexell turned out to be the best of the bunch, and was the one I chose to keep. It looks so bad that no one wants to touch it, yet it’s able to handle surprisingly thick stacks of paper.
I forgot what I was so irritated about earlier this evening - I made a batch of cookies, and I needed to use both my cookie sheets for 24 cookies. My new cookie sheet has rounded ends, so it doesn’t fit in my oven beside the other sheet (it has to go in lengthwise, not endwise, if you know what I mean). Who the hell designs a regular sized cookie sheet so it can’t fit into a regular sized oven both ways? I’m off to buy a new one tomorrow because this is just too annoying. And this was a fancy, expensive one, too.
The chocolate chocolate chip cookies turned out excellently, however.
That would be the point at which I’d say fuck it and just eat the dough.
I am on the phone right now with BCBS to find out a) what my copay is for a mammogram and b) what facility I have to go to in order to pay that copay.
Last year I got hit with a $220 charge because I didn’t go to an approved facility (it wasn’t “in office” or some such bullshit. It was at a lab closer to my house.). So, I’m trying to avoid that this year.
I can’t get a straight answer. Something about how it’s billed. Oooookay… so, where can I go to get this done? She doesn’t know.
If YOU don’t know then how am I supposed to know?
