  • Wachovia did that shit to me one time and racked up hundreds of dollars of overdraft fees. They didn’t process the charges chronologically, nor did they smallest amount to largest. They charged the largest first and kept going (second largest, third, …). Worst part of it was I asked the teller before the spending spree (financial aid check when I was in college) when the funds would be available. She told me immediately. If I’d have just waited until the next business day for them to actually be available, nothing at all would have overdrafted.


  • Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.

    Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.

    Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…


















  • I didn’t know Marshall, however I worked for one of the engineering departments at NCSU, and I will state it was the most toxic, hostile work environment I’ve ever been part of. Direct colleagues were mostly great despite being underpaid and overworked.

    The professors there have a culture where they feel and act like they are celebrities. I knew of three instances where professors had affairs with their students, divorced their spouses, married said students, and repeated the process over again a few years later. All “distinguished” professors too. Even though I was a sysadmin, one assigned me to transcribe a recording of some lecture he was giving while clearly in a bathtub having something sexual done to him just as a power trip. I reported it, nothing was done, and I received a poor performance evaluation that year despite very good ones years prior. Absolute horrible place to work.
