RL peeves! >< @$!#

@Misadventure Yes, but apparently not the things I want to put on it. I just don't like change. Change is bad. Especially when it comes with swooping.

@BetterJudgment It's fairly common that a company gets QuickBooks and tries to lump everything in with one role. There's rarely enough actually bookkeeping for smaller businesses to just do bookkeeping, but yet they feel they need an accountant, full time. I think it's more common with the ego driven owners who think they are bigger than they are.
I take private clients now and one of the first things I ask is if the balance sheet balances. Mostly it gets answered with 'huh?' Or also common, 'I have this girl who does the books but we're getting too big and she's also my admin assistant/whatever. So I need this fixed, but I need her to be ok with you because you'll work together.' Which is ok, sometimes. Sometimes, bitches be trippin'. I rarely need to work with said girl, I need the raw data and then I clear out an account with all my questionable income/expenses. The problem women seem to have several markers in common, including not thinking there's an issue because the owner never told them the accounting isn't right, boundary issues with the owner, and a weird high school mentality no matter their age.
In my younger days I just took the abuse dealt because I'm dumb. I have learned better now. And furthermore, owners need to quit fucking their secretaries and get rid of the women who are trying to hump their leg at the office. I worked for two CPAs that openly had women on the side that were all up in their business. One of them juggled 2 girlfriends and a wife. He had a rule, I need a woman my age, one older and one younger. The younger one worked in the office. Sheer hell. Not to mention the really uncomfortable touching. Don't touch me.
I'd rather just sit and do my TPS report.

Maybe I am being dumb, and since I am not much of a Windows user, that may be why I don't notice whatever it is that is giving you trouble. But I work from my 8.1 desktop, have shortcuts, files and folders, etc on it.
By which I mean it's available, and probably some 8.1 genius here can help with anything more complicated than that.

Fatkinis. Screw y'all and all your fatkinis everywhere. They replaced all my glorious tankinis with fatkinis everywhere that serves fat girls who need a lot of boob support and are too short waisted or obnoxiously sized to get a one piece. What few tankinis there are severely lack the needed support. I hate you bitches. I'm going to get me a nice muslim bathing suit. There were a few ladies at the waterpark with them on. It's basically a lycra dress and leggings and a super sweet built in hijab. I'm ok with this.
-
Fatkinis?!? This is a THING?! Jesus Christ... yet again, the fashion world reminds me why even in 90+ degree weather with 100% humidity, I will be wearing jeans and a tshirt.
-
Help me. What's a fatkini?

@ThatOneDude That's fine, as long as it stops assuming my laptop screen is a touchpad. I could have gotten one like that, but I already have a tablet.
I want to put things on my desktop, dammit.
I want to turn off the swooping thing when I use the touchpad.I do like that it's easy to make a backup, though I didn't like that I had to buy a USB drive to do it, rather than get disks. They're cheap, sure. But argh!
Download Classic Shell, install, hit the 'Dekstop' on the stupid start menu thing and then click on the Start button there and it'll take you through the options. You can do with the automatic ones it sets up, or you can poke through it and check for things you want to tweak. The default is to revert you to essentially 98% Windows 7 setup.
If you want a start button that looks like the win7 one, I can send you the image file with the various button pictures so you can pick the one sized right for your screen.
Also, I think there's an option in there to do it, but you can also just right-click on your taskbar, select Properties, go to Navigation, and remove the 'Corner Navigation' checkboxes to disable the irritating charms/etc menus when using your touchpad.
My windows 8.1 is virtually indistinguishable from Win7 unless you really know what you're looking for. A couple of things took getting used to, like where to find the things now lumped under PC Settings, but I'm pretty much completely free of the features that made Windows 8.1 such a total trainwreck. And a lot of stuff that people think won't install on it will install on it just fine, it just won't run through the Start screen and its ridiculous 'Apps' bullshit.
I recently put it on my laptop, and that shit starts up soooooo much faster/smoother than even a stripped down win7 did.
Windows 10 is going to make most of this shit the default (desktop mode, disabling touch controls unless it detects a touchscreen, and even then you can shut it off, etc).

I'm assuming it's one of those 'bikinis' that have enough material to cover the lower belly as well? Apparently it's some social media shit as well, but I'm too wary to go look.

Guess that's what sells now then.
Although I wonder how that is a good marketing name. I guess because of the recent wave of pride in being overweight?
-
@HelloRaptor Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou THANK YOU!
Now... can you do anything about the 10+ feet of snow I still have laying around?
-
That's a peeve of mine. 'Pride in being overweight' is putting it very, very mildly. I'm fine with not making fun of people for being fat. I'm fine with understanding that it's their life choice. What I'm not fine with is people saying 'YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE FAT' and 'REAL WOMEN ARE ALL FAT'.
Let me just put a disclaimer here. My ideal woman has a few extra pounds on her. I don't find stick figures attractive. HOWEVER.
It's not fine for you to wear a tube top and short shorts when you weigh 300+ pounds. It's not fine for you to be so overweight that you need to ride an electric wheelchair at Wal-mart. It's not fine for you to glare at me and give me the stink eye because I'm not fat and make snide comments about -my- weight when I'm perfectly goddamn healthy. "Get some meat on your bones herpderpherp!" No. Fuck you. Lots of people struggle with their weight and recognize that it is a health risk and recognize that while it's not something to be overly ashamed of, it's definitely not something to be proud of.
I'm not going to fat shame you, but by god you're a horrible person. It's not fucking fine for you to make little girls think it's okay for them to grow up wider than they are tall. Children are being taught unhealthy fucking lifestyles and it's just as dangerous as the other extreme, which is making them think only Barbie-figures are beautiful. Maybe even more dangerous, really.
So that's my rant for the day. Sorry if I offended anyone.
-
@Admiral That. That SO MUCH. I'm female, and yeah, I'm carrying around a few extra pounds. Sue me, its difficult to always make healthy choices while being a working mom that has to come home and immediately cook dinner for two very disparate kids. We do what we can and try to stick to making mostly healthy dinners. I don't exercise very much, and that's on me. But I'm not going to run around in skintight clothes and demanding everyone praise me for being chubby. That's just stupid.

Alas, which is a peeve of mine.
I prefer a one-piece and have all my life, because I swam for exercise for so long that's just how I approach going to the pool. It's a bitch to find ones that are vaguely stylish/not made for 60-year-olds, and I feel like it's getting harder every year.
-
You're all the best. Yeah, I don't feel the need to hang all out or whatever. The women on social media who loooove the fatkini are like 350+ pounds and I just don't feel the need to celebrate that. I'm half that and fuck no. To me I'm just huuuuge. I don't feel the need to learn to love what I can change.
-
I'm just gonna express my gratitude that my chest it not considered sexual and I am free to just wear trunks.
-
I envy men that ability. Summer in Florida with bras is HORRIBLE.
@Three-Eyed-Crow Its like skinny jeans. Someone made them. Someone else said they looked good. And now they're EVERYFUCKINGWHERE. I hate skinny jeans with burning, fiery passion. Unless you're a stick with great legs, they do not look good. WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY BOOTCUT JEANS?!
-
If you think skinny jeans are bad, try living where I live. They sell two kinds of jeans for guys;
Skinny hipster jeans, obviously, since fuck young people. But worse....
Regular jeans where the waist is bigger than the length. By a lot. I wear a 32-34. All I can find in my area are like.... 40-27, 40-30, 42-32, stuff like that.
It's really, really frustrating. I buy all my clothes online now.
-
I honestly just find jeans where it fits on the waist, and if they're too long I cut them off and just sew a new hem myself. It's not hard.

I was in college when skinny jeans became a thing like 15 years ago and I remember thinking 'God, I can't wait until the inexplicable love for these passes.'
Still waiting. Takes me forever to find bootcut jeans when I'm digging through racks. I suspect tons of women also feel this way and they go quickly.
