I have one that used all his sick days for the year. IN JANUARY. But it's okay, he will take 20 more without pay this year, and think he's the only one experiencing a hardship because he's not getting paid.
He also asked how we do our hours "so, if he wanted to work Wednesday through Sunday how would that work?"
LOLWUT? Number one, ask your manager because I don't fucking know, and number two, no. This is an office, dude. We need you here during the week.
FUCKING MILLENNIALS.
Oh mah gah!! You missed the chance of a lifetime here, Nuggs. You should have told him YES, then checked in with him on the following wednesday about how getting into the office over the weekend went. Lol. I know, I'm a dick. I'm OK with that, oddly.
Well I am against the Dvorak keyboard for this fact. "The right hand should do more of the typing because most people are right-handed." My lefty self will continue to appreciate the qwerty keyboard. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
I have never heard of this new old fangled keyboard but I googled and it looks so confusing. I do just fine with a normal keyboard thanks to mandatory typing classes in elementary.
1. I've heard Outlook is actually the best app for an iPhone (can't speak to that, don't have an iPhone), and Office for Mac has been around for ages, so no excuse.
2. Dvorak has been around for ages, but only assholes use it, because everyone else knows QWERTY.
3. If you can change your PC to Dvorak, you sure as fuck can use Outlook to schedule a meeting.
4. This guy is a hipster douchebag extraordinaire, and he'd be that way even if he wasn't a millennial.
Tell him that better and different keyboards have been around for FVCKING ever. It's nothing new. Yes, it's proven that different keyboards are faster ... But when you LEARN the weird odd FVCKING board you can't UNLEARN IT. So it's ahuge FVCKING disadvantage in the common workplace. As in, they taught typists who were faster - who couldn't get jobs in regular offices. SAD PANDA.
So, in summation: He's NOT special and not unique nor overly creative. This shit is OLD. And it's NOT impressive that he tweaked a keyboard that is tweak-able to be a smidge faster. NOT UNIQUE, YOU STUPID MILLENNIAL.

A lot of the people with insane word counts during National Novel Writing Month use Dvorak keyboards because they're faster. But seriously, you can Google to figure out outlook.
I'm firmly in the millennial group and I think not trying to figure basics out is dumb.
I'm laughing that he wants to provide his own work computer, he really doesn't know how this works. We should start a pool. Anyone want to pick how long it takes him to get from "I'll provide my own computer" to "I won't even give a pencil to this place...they owe me!"
I'm 30. I work with a lot of interns and people right out of college. The only one I've ever seen use that weird Dvorak keyboard also rode and old timey bicycle and did "photography" on the weekend which most involved driving to a park and taking a million pictures of his dog at different angles on a camera that cost way too much to be used for that purpose. Not a fan.
I'm an old (45) and I knew about the different keyboard.
In any event, nuggetbrain, you know that along with Nugget Sister updates, you are now required to give us Fucking Millennial updates too now, right? At least until he gets fired.
I am so impressed that you didn't laugh in his face. I would have either laughed or abruptly walked away. Because I would really want to slap him.
When I was working as a cook, 12+ hour days with MAYBE a 15 minute break all day, a new intern was complaining on her first day about how hard the job was and asking about smoke breaks after a couple of hours. I brightly said "Great question! I don't smoke, so I've never asked. You should ask the chef!" I wish I had been a fly on the wall when she asked our super tough boss about taking extra smoke breaks...
Plus on his Facebook he has a post of a quote of himself. Like, a post with - His Name at the end. Is that a thing now??
I just got a professional email from someone whose signature block included a long ass quote of himself. Like, practically a paragraph of just sheer stupidity and self-important nonsense that he attributed to himself at the end.
