Inzombiac posted:Get some of those nurse shoes. We have a dress code.  So far I've been able to get away with a particularly cute pair of Dr. Martens, but I really want to wear my Skechers non-slip memory foam wide shoes for fat feet. Those things saved my rear end at my last job.Thankfully I had a couple shifts at the convention that I could sit down for, but I definitely pushed myself too hard this weekend. I almost called out today because my right foot was killing me. I think I aggravated an old injury in my ankle, but it felt better after stretching and walking for a bit.. and now my left leg hurts because I've been favoring my right. On the upside, I did have a lot of fun this weekend and got to hang out with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. All of the work I had to do was pretty easy, and they're paying hourly wages on top of the free badge and swag so that's cool. I just hurt all over now. One of these days I need to settle down with a nice cushy office job..

Shoesforcrews make a bunch of subdued shoes that are great for standing in all day (designed for cooks/waiters/nurses/etc). And there are plenty of nurse shoes that look formal, as you get nurses moving up to be charge or admins and have to look formal, but want to keep the comfort of the shoes they had in their floor-walking days.

There are two bathrooms in my apartment and the toilets are different heights so sometimes I’m startled by the unexpected height and sit down all wrong if I’m not awake enough yet. I told my husband this and he made fun of me

I keep accidentally texting the wrong person because I don't pay enough attention, and also my work is so stressful it's literally breaking my brain so I think that contributes significantly to the texting the wrong person. And I keep writing the wrong word. Eh maybe I have a brain tumor.

I'm getting many rude people because the concessions next door to me is closed. I guess being a complete jerk is appropriate behavior when coffee is 5 minutes away rather than right here.

There's a pizza slice place that offers a tasty dipping sauce for the crust for 50 cents. The problem is that sometimes they just give you the sauce for free and sometimes insist you pay. I tried being more talkative, always tip, etc but it appears to be random if the sauce is free or not.

Nothing sounds good to eat. Nothing. I need to pack lunch for tomorrow and looking in the full fridge just is blah. Even the thought of grabbing something out for lunch makes me gag. If this is a tapeworm, he is loving picky and lazy because I am not losing weight, just not that hungry.

burial posted:If I had to guess, it depends what power-mad manager is working. Yep it’s this exactly. Some managers are insane about following Corporate Rules while others are more laid back. I give free stuff to people sometimes cause I’m not a coked out Corporate zombie. On that note, I honestly think it’s corporate policy for corporate-trained managers to do coke, and it’s a secret. Stuff just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

I keep ordering books. The realization that I actually have money now is sinking in so I'm ordering piles of reading material. Now though I'm ordering it faster than I've been reading it. My book shelves are also full.

I forgot my phone charger in the hotel I stayed at. I've had that charger (and cable) for years. I liked them. They were the exact size needed to pack them away in an inner pocket in my suitcase. It'll be years before I find another charger like that. This, on top of the fact that I've had a super lovely day, but for non-FWP reasons so I'm not going to post about it.

My toaster oven is relatively inexpensive, but it's powerful enough that I always have to subtract a few minutes off the cooking time. Like, it doesn't burn anything, it just overcooks things super easily.

Not my problem but one I was involved with. A customer angrily threw her money at me because I asked her for proof she deserved the member discount on unlimited carousel rides by showing her member card. It was in her wallet in the bottom of the stroller and she didn't feel like getting it out. It was a lot of work to save $3 and totally unreasonable for me to make her do such a thing!

I haven't touched my Steam library in three weeks because I've been busy having a job and a social life (sort of) and working at a stupid convention. I have today and tomorrow off and there's a lot of stuff I want to get done around the house, but I'm probably just going to end up poopsocking instead.

Compared to technology that existed 30 years ago that's loving magic. I'm typing this on what is basically a star trek data slate. This thing THAT I AM HOLDING IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW was described as a thing I wouldn't see in my lifetime when I was a kid. Now one is my phone and the other is mostly used for poo poo posting. Marvels of modern technology.
