Nah, the directions (which, admittedly, I assumed also applied to a hand mixer but should have known better), said specifically power levels and amount of time to beat at.
I find if I don't follow bread recipes EXACTLY they don't turn out well. (I'm not a very good baker/cook. No one will starve but they might also not enjoy it much either.)
-
All my baking recipes require a stand mixer.
Because I love mine and I'm lazy.

I mean you can bake bread in a clay pot over coals if you have to, but that doesn't mean that you're going to enjoy the process. Or the results.

If you wanted completed documentation on a very complex tool by the first week of September maybe you should have hired someone before July.
I'm good at absorbing tools and turning around to provide training, but when I'm learning an all new (to me) industry and the tool (without even knowing the business processes yet!)... two months to a deliverable is asking a bit much.

Dear IT Help Rep --
I don't mind you calling over one of your co-workers to help you with my ticket even though I have to sit on hold while you figure out where he, and half his team, went. I realize it's a weird problem and a pain in the ass, which is why I had to call you instead of being able to fix it myself using the available tools. However, please inform him that your microphone does not have an immutable sound barrier on it blocking out everyone's voice but yours, and I can in fact hear him talking about me in the background. Including when he insisted that I was "calling about nothing and just keeping you from lunch", right up until this supposedly "impossible" issue happened for the sixth time as he was looking over your shoulder at the remote view of my desktop.
Sincerely,
AriaPS -- Thank you again for repeating the message when I said, "Please tell Noel that I can hear him, and also that I said I told you so." I hope the look on his face was as priceless as the gagging noise I heard. By the sounds of your muffled laughter, it was.

@Aria This sounds like it halfway belongs in RL Things I Love because good on the rep you spoke with for sharing that and his reaction to the other guy's horror.

@Auspice I think the fact that I figured out what his name was based on background convo was what really made it sink in. Definitely the best part.

Teaching sex ed to a bunch of fifteen-year-olds, when the book says I can't specifically mention "alternative lifestyles" because reasons? Fuck that noise.

Oh, yeah. I retract my previous statement then. Fuck that noise.
Also, why the hell not?

If I have been trying to contact you for months, you do not get to claim outrage that I am only just now springing something you don't like on you.

This post remains weirdly in context.
