Debating on contacting my CC and/or Paypal to get refunds. USPS still has my items shipping hasn't updated since August 18th on one of them and the other was September 11. The September package has been at the USPS store 4 blocks down the road from me for 6weeks now and I cannot go pick it up (they won't find it for me at the store) nor will they deliver it. The other one quit updating before the LA hurricane.

Also calling and using the contact options haven't worked thus far. They can only read back the tracking information and that they will be arriving late... I know covid but still-

I hate that we can't trust USPS anymore. UPS or FedEx might be faster but I always used to trust USPS with the most sensitive things. R.I.P. to an American Icon

They manage to do it all without the neediness and dependency of a drooling dog.

I agree with you. Indeed, if I choose between a cat and a dog, then it will definitely be a cat. But dogs also have their advantages. A dog is more likely to protect its owner

I totally agree.

We even have one VP that insists on using WebEx since it is all he knows.
I would love it if they settled on one system and stuck with it.

We primarily use Skype For Business and Teams. If Teams would get its act together and create a decent chat app it would be easier to convert over.

For those wondering, in Teams:

Click on your photo, then Available (or whatever your status is), then pick what status you want. It will stay that way until you reset it.

Unfortunately, "Get off my lawn" is not an option.

Both of those apps need to add options for custom status. Easy day-one code, Microsloth. First, though, can you please make some sense of your runtime libraries? Sheesh!

I'm sure if you held a couple million dollars in front of them they would get right on that. But no business actually wants that feature. It's an HR nightmare lol.

I don't see why it would be.

Profile pictures are far worse if not locked down.
