Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don’t have physical offices where I could queue personally…

      It’s actually a bit better because you can be doing other stuff rather than wait in a line in a physical DMV.

        yeah that’s a pretty big oversight tbh. they should make the website play “hold” music and add some “timeout” popups you have to keep clicking

          Sounds like the unemployment insurance website here in Florida. I had to use it during covid and it was one of the singularly worst experiences of my life.

          You’re giving me flashbacks to the online training my work makes me do every year.

          I almost failed the first of 7 courses because I made the mistake of trying to do actual work while listening to the training, and didn’t realize there was a 5 minute timer for inactivity on the video player. And no, there was no additional time provided to complete the training. It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.

            Fuck that, training and any kind of policy testing should absolutely be on company time. I always throw shit like that in a general/admin bucket in my time card.

            You make me do it, you pay me to do it.
