I used to work at an engineering firm and one day I saw one of the engineers leave at like 2pm on a Wednesday and he was like, “Bye, see you next week!” He had been busting his ass to finish a project and already hit his 40hrs for the week.
I was a temp at the time but needless to say, I jumped at the chance when they offered me a real job.
My one dog is very special. She likes to sleep with her head under the couch. She was not pleased when we got a new couch that her head wouldn’t fit under. She sometimes runs into walls and falls off of sidewalks.
My other dog is entirely disinterested in toys. She does not play with them, ever.
I think my boss would be cool with this. I got back from vacation on Wednesday last week and immediately asked if I could take a half day on Friday of the same week.
Usually I don’t have to explain anything as all time off is requested via an app but since my vacation fell during a busy period I thought I should check.
Along with rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, dressage…
I would say this is more impressive because they don’t get to choose their music nor listen to it ahead of time.
I told my husband he must now be this dramatic when we’re out of onions or what is he even doing with his life?
I don’t have a lot of the issues I see others complaining about, but my teams does randomly shut down and I don’t notice until someone sends me an email saying they tried to reach me on teams. Doesn’t seem like that has anything to do with corporate policy.
My eyesight is atrocious. One time I was out in a notable windstorm, I stumbled, and my glasses got ripped off my face. I would have been absolutely fuckered if I’d been alone. They’d gotten blown under a car and I never would have found them by myself.
Depends what kind of toilet or doorknob. My company definitely sells some handle sets that are monumentally more expensive than the very affordable toilets I got from Costco.
I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.
Green tea shouldn’t really be strong, you’re probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I’m after something light (or if I’m out of milk, which I need for black tea).
Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don’t log in and I haven’t since Boost stopped working.
I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.
…yes, and? I don’t want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don’t need an “extra day free”. I don’t think it’s worth it. Working fewer days isn’t always better for everyone.
I’ve been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn’t even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.
I’m not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it’s documented, so it’s just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.
Plus I don’t have to wear pants.
The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I’m around all the time.
Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn’t mean it’s okay that they continue to try though.
I’m the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I’m not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don’t do her any favours.
Same with shopping for a lot of things: try on many different styles. You may not know what you like until you see it on your face.
Ask the opticians, they see good and bad selections all day. The last time I had my eyes checked I considered getting new frames but the optician said she liked the ones I had already.
A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can’t be evil, and she’s absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.
Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I’ll offer to let them pet the other dog who’s normal, but fuck that kid, you don’t get to pet any dog today.
