Just a reminder folks:

As Spiffy pointed out, we've had to hand out yet another infraction over this. And there's no reason for it. This announcement has been up since last September, which should have been more than enough time for people to read it and understand it.
These announcements are much like the signs that are up in our places of employment, the ones we complain that the customers don't bother reading. And believe me, it annoys the moderating team when our members don't read them, just as much as it annoys you when your customers don't read them.Sometimes life is altered.

This is good - I remember when I first joined when I posted about my hellish 18 months at my previous workplace that I was largely brushed off in a similar manner to what is described here. Mind you, I am still reluctant to post some accounts (including Sightings, Management and Praising coworkers) - I have posted some to test the waters, but...

Quoth Ree View PostI think Plaidman was having a bit of a laugh.
He was doing exactly what Spiffy had asked not to do, just to be a smartass.

There's a lot to be said for style too.
Take GK for example. Many of the events he comments on aren't particularly sucky, but it's the way he tells the story that makes him the undisputed grand master of interplanetary SC stories.
(Really obscure movie reference there, respect and admiration from an obscure movie lover to whomever spots it.)
He probably wouldn't be as deified if he wrote "Drunk guy called the phone center, loud guy was on the skytrain, girl at 7-11 was dressed like a ho"
On the opposite end of the spectrum, someone may have dealt with some horrific gawd-awful piratemonkeyrobot hellbeast of an SC, but may not have the story-telling skills to properly express the horror...the horror...
Personally, I try to tell my SC run-ins comedically. If you aren't laughing at my suffering, what's the point of going through it.Aliterate : A person who is capable of reading but unwilling to do so.
