As a goth girlfriend who wanted to be a mortician at one point, you have the coolest job but also what, go ask her out.

I agree! Ask her out, then buy her an account in time for her to get a summer sig.

I am back in the hospital some days and am bringing ethical tea in bulk for the junior doctor's room because it tastes better than tea picked by slaves!

I think there are slight odds that my wife would approve, yet not enough to take that bet.

I am so close to having a nervous breakdown because of my job and my immediate response is to just continue to act fine because what the hell else am I supposed to do, haha.

I've been trying for three weeks to make progress on this code i needed to push out three weeks ago, and poo poo keeps interrupting me.

I'm finding if I can't get 4 contiguous hours to focus, i poop out about 2 lines of code per day. The rest of my time is spent trying to remember what the hell I was doing, and re-learning the section I need to modify.

It's maddening, but I got a fair amount churned out before my daughter sent me a message telling me how to do her first day of petsitting because she has dance class and can't DO THE JOB SHE AGREED TO DO so now I have a new petsitting job instead of the one I'm getting paid for and we are going to have words.

I just want to sleep.

I just got an email from a recruiter for the place my wife works and that I once worked, and I'm having the internal fight about whether or not this is a terrible idea.

Didn't hear back about that other job yet, but the post is still being reviewed, so who knows. There's a forecasting position that's supposed to come up soon though. Job searching sucks and trying to climb a corporate ladder in my own company double sucks cause I have this dumb thing about speaking my mind and not always filtering. Good luck out there all you fellow workers.

I agree, looking for jobs is the w o r s t.

MN that is a tough spot to be in. I don't even know how to feel about that choice. Good luck friend!

This was my conclusion. Especially since the recruiter didn't know I previously worked at the big internet company.

Also the compensation they offered was laughable for the job. They're desperate but not desperate enough yet.

Favorite response from telling people I'm leaving this job in August: "Wow. Sounds like you're unhappy working anywhere!"

Yeah. That's it. I'm such a primadonna. What kind of picky baby leaves a job just because the boss had a full on freak out and yelled at them for 30 minutes?

I am currently doing possibly the dumbest thing I've ever been asked to do at a brewery. This is dumber than the time I was told to put protein powder in a west coast IPA for a "client" that never ended up returning my boss's calls (I think they never had any kind of agreement and my boss just went off and did it because he thought things were way more set than they were. I'm pretty sure he did this a lot. He's crazy.)

I'm currently bottling hefeweissen run through a medical filter. It makes the beer taste like filter paper and is impeding flow so it's like 5 minutes to fill a bottle.

Because my boss understands nothing about beer filters and promised a client he could filter a hefeweissen. Any sterile filter is the same, right? At least it's just a sample...if they're fine with it then I don't know what the gently caress. So glad I'm leaving this dumpster fire.

It's pretty amazing. We talked about it in multiple meetings and both me and the other brewer we're like "This won't work." If it did do you think breweries would be dropping tens of thousands of dollars on large filter setups? These guys always think they've figured out a way to hack the system.

I once heard urine is sterile, have you tried filtering beer through piss-soaked undies? I bet you could save a lot of money!

Today work was real busy especially with the crew we had, but there was only one pizza that didn't go home with a customer so it could have been a lot worse.

There's this young woman at work, early twenties. She works in the kitchen and the owner has her cross training in the brewery for some reason. She's been her six months. As in he just kind of arbitrarily decided that. I trained her a little and she's loving sharper than hell. Picks things up quickly, really good at asking questions, asking for clarification, communicating, etc. Her English is also really good.

The company has been working her like a rented mule. She's working ten days in a row right now. Things have been mostly dead what with COVID and all so this makes pretty much zero sense. She's also not getting paid overtime. Today as we were leaving she was talking to my coworker who's putting in his notice next month and said "Don't leave this company before me!" to him today. So it looks like he's quitting. Brain genius is chasing away all of his qualified employees again. He's done this before.

Lol just lol if you even get to take days off of vacation without getting poo poo down your neck when you've run the entire company during the pandemic without a day off and then when you get through that they tell you that you can't have a raise even though you have brought in *checks notes* 38 times what your company brings in on an average non pandemic year but you have brought that revenue in within the last seven months.

Anyway great I love working it's real good, jobs are the best!!!!!

Please keep this post in mind when you see a company that offers unlimited vacation days. That's actually code for "you never get days off".

I actually yell at my employees if they "check in" from vacation. It works: it's part of our culture now that everyone is expected to not think about work on their days off!
