    I'll go a step further; ads on DVD's for the soundtrack of the movie you are about to watch, or for video games based on it.

      I've seen it where you can't skip them but you can fast forward through them. Never complete block.

          bureaucracy grinds my gears. I will summarize my story by saying I asked for a new office chair, and it had to be approved by at least 2 managers, and requires opening several requests as well as scheduling an ergonomic assessment of my workstation to evaluate my chair needs. I expect to actually receive my chair sometime in 2015 (just my personal estimate - they'd probably say 2017 to give them some wiggle room).

          I hear Office Max has nice chairs. I might go buy one.

            Happened to my girlfriend at her office too. She skipped a few steps and bought herself a moveable desk (one that goes up and down), but needed a few people to look at it, confirm it was okay, and to install it (set it on the desk and move her computer). I get one person making sure it's not too heavy, but it seemed like quite a fuss.

              Yeah, we have to deal with the exact same BS here at work. Its very annoying.

                That blows. I told my boss a week or two ago that when I first started working at my current location my chair was killing my back. Even though I had a perfectly fine chair now, she still asked if I needed to get a new chair. I love my boss and I love my company.

                    While in the Air Force, one of my assignments was to write scripts for lessons that were being converted from live lectures to video. I had a script returned by a colonel, with the notation "UNA". Well, none of us knew what UNA stood for, so we looked it up in the Air Force Dictionary. UNA, it turns out, stood for "use no abbreviations." I kid you not.

                      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                        Paycheck is now only on line, not hard copy. THey managed to change over but not give us the last few weeks in March. They aren't accessible on lline. I can't balance my Quicken without them I hate the paperless thing. I want stuff I can hold, not have to flick between many windows.

                          I am an 8th dan black belt at hitting yellow lights at just the right point to trigger panicked indecision on whether to slam on the brakes or go for it.

                            For the missing info, you could contact HR and ask them to get you a copy. Can you just print off a copy of the ones that are online for yourself?

                              They aren't accessible before 4/13 and I need the ones before that. We are small. The company that runs the site is our 'HR' for this. They were hired to deal with this stuff but no one knows why we can't access stuff before 4/12. A call to them reveals they have no idea and little motivation to get one The boss is maxed out. Has already been asked about this and the answer was to call them. Sigh.
