  • Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.

    We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.

    Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.


  • Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.

    I entered the zoom call and said ‘so am I getting fired?’

    The answer was yes.

    Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.

    Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?

    In reasonably confident that this is how people ask for a cola, not for any soda pop. The default soda in America is a cola, which we have the two primary brands (coke and Pepsi) and all the small time competitors. No one says ‘I’ll have a coke’ when they want a sprite.

    If you go to Georgia, ‘coke’ is whichever cola they have. At least that’s been my experience when visiting family down there. 99% of the time you get Coca Cola, but that 1% is a kick in the nuts.

    Had the same experience when I lived in east Texas and visited rural Louisiana. But it wasn’t that way when I lived in Virginia. Coke meant Coca Cola, and if you asked for coke and they had Pepsi, they’d ask if Pepsi was ok.

    In western Washington, it’s a hodgepodge.
