I (32M), a teacher, decided to grab a coffee after a long day. I brought my work laptop with me because I needed to quickly check emails and make sure the built-in DVD player was actually working. We're starting The Great Gatsby next week, and you know how technology can be. So, I set up at a table, plugged in my headphones, and hit play on the movie to test it out. Then like an absolute idiot, I didn't even think to close my laptop. I just got up and went to the restroom. When I came back, I noticed a commotion near my table. The coffee shop staff looked flustered. As I approached my laptop, one of them quickly apologized, explaining that they had just had to ask someone to leave due to some inappropriate behavior with my computer. I looked down at my screen, and my email inbox was open. This person had apparently decided to have a little fun by mass-deleting my emails. The staff were apologetic but couldn't provide any details about th

What is the greatest one single word line in movie history and why?

29 April 2025 @ 8:31 pm

Answers must be one single word line that makes not only a scene but a whole movie. Think Ceaser's, "NO!" from Planet of the Apes, "Rosebud" in Citizen Kane. It's not just the word, it's the emotion, the effect on not just the characters but the audience too! Repeated singular words don't count, like "Toga! Toga! Toga!" from National Lampoon's Animal House. submitted by /u/RayoftheRaver to r/movies [link] [comments]

I wore a suit to work and got my supervisor soft demoted

29 April 2025 @ 8:31 pm

I’m posting mainly because I’m not a passive-aggressive type and I’m in disbelief that this actually worked. Ever since I started at my job a few months ago, my supervisor—we’ll call him Josh—has been micromanaging me. When I’m the subject of criticism (which is often), I try to give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him to clarify. What are your expectations? What specifically should I have done differently? Josh’s responses are always vague, often something to the effect of “Just do better.” I even had a meeting with Josh and HR to address this, but to no avail. Yesterday, Josh comes to my desk to tell me I need to dress better. Now, I work at a small company, and the vibe is unusually casual. A not-insignificant number of people come to work wearing jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, and/or baseball caps. I have never worn a hat to work, and I make a point of wearing a button-up shirt with a collar every day. This partic

Tips for running virtual, in-person, and hybrid events rpaik Wed, 05/03/2023 - 03:00 Over the past few years, virtual events have thrived. In-person events are back now, but it's important to keep in mind that virtual events didn't just come out of nowhere. Many of us were actually doing a lot of different online events even before they became popular. Many communities held hackathons, bug and issue triaging, webinars, and so on, as virtual events.

A project is rarely ever truly done, so it's equally important for resources to be maintained and updated with your project's continuous improvement. But what happens when you have lots of documentatio
