One solution
November 13, 2025 at 2:59 PM
I found a solution. Told the CFO today that some reports would be late because I got held up helping the HR manager add up Xmas party numbers for catering and she told it was beneath me and I should refuse to do anything for him that he should be able to manage himself going forward :D

Sounds like a plan

I want to see the bulk of them primaried into extinction and Torres is pretty high on the list of "those who gots to go"

It seems to come with that particular role. This guy is a contract hire covering maternity leave for the permanent HR Manager, who was the bane of our payroll administrator's life, constantly offloading technical tasks onto him. Now the new guy has zeroed in on me as his go-to guy.

I was looking at it as an inability to write =SUM(H2:H4) ie computer literacy, rather than an inability to add the numbers, but yes you're right.

As far as I can tell the only skills HR managers bring to the table is the ability to fire people without getting sued for unfair dismissal and knowing how to safely reject workers compensation claims.

Horrendous reply aside, that's an outrageous outfit for a CEO to wear to an interview.

I can code in a dozen languages and take the bus to work.

Just yesterday the HR manager at my work asked me to put a formula into a spreadsheet to add up the staff members, guests and kids attending the office xmas party (Literally 35+25+20) then sent another email asking if I could separately tally up the adults (35+25). This is a form of illiteracy.

The managerial class was still corresponding via dictating letters to secretaries far more recently than most people imagine.

Was unemployed in the early 90s & had to take a vocational class to keep my benefits. Took a typing/office skills course and it was me & 25 women. The course included a visit from a consultant who told us what kind of skirts we should wear to our reception jobs and what colours suited our skin tones

I'm trying to do the same....currently learning to make plushies as my 10yo committed to making 20 to sell at their school fundraiser on 11/29. I'm at stage two of a four stage process, and getting better. Next is a penguin with flippers and feet, then stage four is a dragon with wings

Actually that came out pretty close to what I was aiming for, so maybe I'll kill some time in the office today finding out whether I'm being too hard on myself. Will report back with my best hand later.

Nice...I know the hex codes for all of my employer's company colours as I'm currently building a bunch of mobile apps at work, but I think that's pretty unremarkable considering how many elements I have to mark up every day, it's pretty much just rote learning but it upsets my colleagues.

I could be surrounded by hands and have the ghost of DaVinci whispering in my ear as I drew, and the result would still be something like...

The obvious solution is to ignore it. Just start the new movie, there's James Bond, drinking martinis and saying cheesy shit. This is traditionally how I deal with my own mistakes.

I live in Excel for a living and I'm so autistic that I know it will be 45974.375 at 9am today off the dome. I key dates that way so I don't have to reach for the / key on the numpad :D

I can't tell you the number for dates in 1973 or anything but I'm generally good for a month in either direction.

Nice. If I had to a year to draw a passable human hand for a million dollars, a year from now I'd still be broke.
