        I filed my first complaint against a coworker for arguing with me about ISO standards. I’m an AV engineer and use YYYY-MM-DD for my print sets which he found “confusing” because most fools write M-D-YY. I told him I got approval to do it that way and it might even become mandatory (true) but he wouldn’t drop it. He sarcastically told me I should teach a class on date formats because I think I’m so smart.

        We’re an international company and I’m gonna keep using the international standard for dates, douchebag.

          I like how this person is confused by a four-digit year as the first field, like that’s ambiguous!

              Sounds like somebody suffered greatly at the hands of Excel.

              Remember when you could specify more than 53 weeks in a year? Oh yeah good times. Remember when they changed how those got processed? Even better times…

              Fucking negative weeks based on fiscal years! Ooph… Such rage
