Company currently has an issue going on with connections to the company network. We have a slack channel for help that people go to. The amount of morons who continue to post new questions of the EXACT same question that was just asked right above them is astounding. How the fuck do you people dress yourselves in the morning?

Just because they donât read your slack doesnât mean they arenât getting bombarded with many other slacks. Cool down. Youâre overgeneralizing because youâre stressed. Take a nap.

I refuse to use my brain ⌠it might wear out.
If you use it too much, it'll get smooth. Then, all of your good thoughts will slide right off. đ¨
