Can't solve all your problems.
Actually you can!
Wire me $951.45 plus $78.75 in excess baggage fees so I can get the flocc outta here.

Well damn. Not my fault you moved to the edge of the earth. Can't solve all your problems.
out of curiosity, what is the major industry there?
I swear, I think my boss wakes up, stretches, yawns, and thinks to himself "I wonder what's going on today" smacks lips, and doesn't bother to look at his calendar.
Brother, I like you, quite a lot, but that's two weeks salary and I'm check to check. Have you tried a dogsled?
Oh, the irony.
Man, I just checked out Igloolik on Google Earth... Can I buy you a tree? I don't think I've ever seen a more desolate looking place.

When you come into the office with a new pair of shoes, or a nice jacket, and one of the higher ups says...
"We must be paying you too much! yuk yuk yuk"
no a-hole. I'm actually pretty close to the poverty level. Its just that my parents were nice enough to get me a rain jacket last Christmas.

When does the "Free Venari" Gofundme start?
One person's nickname is worthless.
The other's is cat lady.
Now they get jobs elsewhere and all of a sudden everyone goes to lunch to have a nice friendly celebration and congratulate them.
WTF?!?! No one like them in the first damn place. Sigh.
I need to stop answering my phone within half an hour of quitting time on Fridays. No good can come of it.
A sled is a week's travel between Igloolik and Pond Inlet, so I imagine it might be about 12 days to Iqaluit. I have no training to living off the land, so I'd die before I got there.
I actually drink very little soda because of the prices. That was just to tell you guys how hard it is to afford things up here. I buy empties off my brother's friends, who guzzle that stuff like our truck does gas.
My last grocery bill came up to $900.
Due to permafrost, there is nowhere to PUT the tree. But science says the treeline is moving north every year, so in about 40 years Rankin Inlet might have trees. I'm way further north than that.
I don't think there is an industry. People just live here.
But...back to the thread topic:
My co-workers are fighting for time off, and I'm the one that has to approve it. What sucks is my friend is throwing the biggest fit, and he's lower on the seniority totem pole. I think he thought I'd approve his time off instead of the woman who's been here since day 1.
We didn't all become idiots the day he became the boss.
The purpose of a ring tone is to notify the owner of the phone of an incoming call or message. If the phone is never more than 3ft away from the owners ear, why does the ringtone need to be loud enough to distort the speaker and reach the ears of every soul within a 100ft radius?
We have an open concept office. Its rare for there to be a full 5 consecutive minutes without some cheesy-ass ringtone blaring from some far corner of the office. I just cannot understand how people dont see this as inconsiderate and annoyingespecially since it is not only preventable, but 100% replaceable by a non-intrusive alternative notification called vibrate.
I switch mine between a US Navy GQ alarm (annoying) and an SQS-26 sonar (the most annoying sound in the world & NOTHING like the bullsnit sounds you hear in movies)
I've provided a link. TURN DOWN THE SOUND. you've been warned

Aaaaand since we've cracked open that door, let's talk about Siri. For how many months did I have to listen to the jackass down the hall saying sh/t like "Siri, what is the temperature in Mumbai?" And giggle hysterically because he told the phone his name was "Big Daddy" so that's how the stupid thing would respond to him.
Just wait for them to leave their phone and have siri start calling them dumb s***t. Fixed that issue around our place real quick.
I hear you! Picture being in a large printing factory with bullhorn type speakers every several feet in the rafters and the receptionist at the desk in the front lobby has a whiny, nasally voice. Every few minutes.......*CRKKKKKK! Mr. AssHat, call extension 348. Mr. AssHat, extension 348 please!* (not that we actually have a Mr. AssHat, at the shop...Oh wait, actually we do, we just don't say that to his face.) *CRRKKKK! Seymour Butts call extension 215.......* Worse still is when someone in the front office tries to set their office phone to forward calls after they leave the office and totally @#$% it up so that when someone tries to reach their extension all they get is a busy signal. The rest of the shop is treated to an ear piercing BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! over the bullhorns in the rafters until someone figures out which *******'s office phone is the culprit.
Brother, if I only knew how to program the thing it would be calling him "Pencil Dick" "micro spike" or "Assmaster" for eternity.
Every email or incoming phone call would be announced by a sound bite from the "In living color" "Men on ..." How about every two minutes your phone instructs you to "flip it, smack, and rub it down"?
Your ringtones? How about something from Pulp Fiction? "Does he look like a *****?"
