“Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?”

So they’re disregarding things you explicitly stated “Because…” and inserting assumptions about your intentions that were not stated at all (that you didn’t want to work).

Neurotypicals are so irrational.

Before I even read your post I am inspired to inform you that managers only notice what they see. They won’t notice you quietly taking care of things, they WILL notice if other employees complain to them about you, regardless of the real issue. There’s a saying “make your work visible”, meaning that you should try to take credit for as much as you can. Even if you have to exaggerate a bit, aka “lie”. Once you understand that concept, the behavior of other workers can be better understood.

(Will now read the post and respond if I see need to) Edit: I think the response is already appropriate to the text of the post. You are dealing with exactly the problem I predicted from the title.

You have to work extra hard to overcome documented complaints. Make your work visible. Brag. Be a complete egomaniac. From their perspective that’s normal.

They’re apparently thinking you’re saying that you didn’t agree to work if there are too many patients. Thus the being allowed to not work that ward. They actually fear the union contract and think you’re trying to use it to get out of work.

“That’s someone’s property! You’re hurting the wrong people!”

“President for life”

monkey’s paw moment.

I avoid restaurants that require tipping. When I do have to tip, I give way too much if the service was good. IMO, good service is to not try to talk to me too much, and to be responsive to what I need done (refilling drinks, taking additional requests). Bonus tip if I know they’re overworked and handling it well.

15% floor. Throw an additional $10 sometimes. Always direct to the worker because these places steal tips. Also I tip cooks sometimes.

But I avoid going to these restaurants.

State is not the same thing as government

Oh, I call it leaping. Quantum leap. It’s been almost 10 years. Decided to settle down and live out this life.

At work, you’re better off being a procrastinator or just generally slow. If you’re fast and reactive, you’ll be called lazy when you’re sitting there with nothing left to do 😤

Lockpicking is not a crime!

JerryRigEverything, LockpickingLawyer, and Chef John from Foodwishes.com are absolute ear candy

I worked in a Costa del Mar warehouse once. The generic shades were $20, and right next to the brand name shades ($200). The brand name might have had some invisible enhancement, but they looked exactly the same to me besides the logo embossed into them. Both were polarized and mirrored exactly the same way.

What I’m saying is this: buy cheap generic ones. If you must have that logo, glue one on or something. I don’t understand brand worship.

She might get mad if you tell her this, but maybe you want some time to yourself. It’s what I usually want on my birthday.

Thank you for leading me to find this book. I will enjoy reading it.

“I don’t personally understand it, therefore God did it” (Argument from Ignorance, or God of the Gaps fallacy)

I hear this with regard to evolution, chemistry, bacteria, weather. They don’t know how something works, that’s proof enough for them. Eventually they say “then how was the universe created? There had to have been a creator!” (First cause argument) Or “The eye is so complicated, it had to be designed” (Watchmaker Fallacy)

I used to listen to The Atheist Experience podcast, but it got repetitive hearing the same arguments from religious people, over and over. I also didn’t like how mean the hosts could get sometimes, but I understand their frustration…

As the refrain goes: You first, Larry. Show us all of your data and then we can talk

Does framework try to use open source silicon where it can? Are schematics available for the CPU (or other chips)? Or is that not their thing?

I guess you needed a /s at the end of my comment. Apologies.

My joke was that I have such a strong desire to read long walls of text, that I was looking for one where it did not exist. Maybe my joke was too many layers deep to be perceived as a joke…
