inCheck if the movie is actually the funny bad cut before you invite 8 people over
Does the back of the box say anything about the dub? That's honestly my first check before I even hand over my three bucks. If it lists a bunch of alternate languages or says "unrated" or has some weird runtime that doesn't match the normal one, that's usually a sign there's a goofier version floating around. Also flip it over and look for typos in the summary, because a sloppy release is way more likely to be the funny bad one. If the cover looks too clean and normal, it's probably just regular boring bad.

inRant: switched my client to a new email tool on a Tuesday, and 1,400 subscribers got hit with double sends
Went through almost the same thing last year and it was a mess. Moved about 800 people over on a Thursday and the sync glitch sent the welcome email three times to half the list. Got 60 unsubscribes in one day and a handful of nasty replies asking if we were broken. The worst part was the tool's own help docs told me the import was "instant," which it was not. Took their support two days to admit the tags duplicated on their end.

inMy Wacom pen died mid commission and I ended up drawing with a mouse for 3 hours
Used to roll my eyes at people who said mouse drawing was doable. Figured they just weren't picky about their work. Then my pen crapped out two days before a con and I had no backup, so I did a whole 8x10 inking with a trackball mouse. The trick that saved me was pulling the smoothing up to like 70 percent and drawing way slower than normal, plus doing lots of short strokes instead of long ones, then cleaning up with the eraser after. Lines still weren't as clean as pen work but the smoothing did most of the heavy lifting.
