Just found out that the reason I paid too much tax this month was because HMRC did gently caress up, but not how I initially thought. Turned out, the reason for the tax code change that took an extra £160 out of my pay was because I owed tax from a few years ago. Supposed to be paid back over 12 months the system thought I wouldn't be earning enough, panicked and took 4 lots out at once. Happily it's been sorted out now, I'll get a rebate this month then next tax year my taxes will increase by £40~ a month for that year to pay off the owed amount. Which is way more reasonable.

I'm reading several fanfiction pieces at once, all deriving from the same piece of conventional fiction, and I'm starting to get timelines mixed up.

I pulled my shoulder. It isn't serious and it isn't like my job is going to aggravate it but drat it it still hurts a bit and is very inconvenient.

Cowslips Warren posted:This morning, when barely awake in that daze of gotta pee and wake up, my mom told me she found an empty chicken styrofoam sleeve in the backyard. And then a full one, with drumsticks, which we don't buy. Also in the backyard, like someone had chucked it over the fence. Thankfully the dogs were inside due to the monsoon last night, but now I'm loving paranoid someone was trying to poison our dogs or some thief is trying to case the place. This is like the time I saw a whole pigs head in the street but didn't take a picture and even thought there's a butchers nearby so it is logically possible I still can't discount that I imagine it and it makes me kind of paranoid thinking about it.

My friend was being a huge rear end in a top hat over something and I got mad at him for it. Now I feel bad for being mad at him even though he 100% deserved it.

I just learned that the Crypt of the Necrodancer people are putting on a free concert the night before PAX starts, but I can't bring myself to add a fifth day of traveling to/from Seattle. I didn't get a hotel because I spent more than enough on my trip to England this year.

I left my door unlocked all night. I’ve done this before. My building is so safe that there’s absolutely no risk of even one of the other tenants breaking (ok coming) in; but regardless, it made me uneasy to discover it this morning.

Of course there hasn't been; people actually want a MGR sequel, and Konami is absolutely committed to making things no one asked for or wanted. Survive is Exhibit goddamn A.

I’m going to Birmingham on Friday for i63 and to meet up with a load of friends. My period was due to start yesterday, but other than a few very brief mild cramps, I still haven’t had anything, and I just KNOW it’s going to start on Friday and make me have horrible horrible cramps the whole journey and the whole weekend.  Also I went to i61 last year and it was a super hot weekend, but I was a stubborn git and wore jeans and a hoodie and it sucked. I’ve lost a stone and a half since then and am much more comfortable in summer clothes now (shorts are so comfy holy poo poo), but of course this time the weather is going to be cloudy and probably cold.

Soooo I got a job offer. But I have to do one more meeting that is just about any lingering questions I have. My current job has conditioned me to think any and all meetings are negative/disciplinary. I genuinely think I may need therapy because of this place.

My go to is an upbeat “what’s up?” Obviously depends on how much of a harass psycopayh your manager is but it’s always worked for me. You can adjust it to that like, “hi! You wanted to have a talk?” Or something like that. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 19:24 on Aug 21, 2018 |

Inzombiac posted:Soooo I got a job offer. So I have kind of the opposite issue right now. I got a job without actually interviewing or meeting the manager, because I've worked with the assistant manager before and they really desperately needed someone for this spot. I am constantly worried that I'm not going to be good enough at the job and it will reflect poorly on both me and the assistant manager, and it actually doesn't help that I have significantly fewer responsibilities than my last job. This place is basically paying me to stand at a desk and be nice to people but previous jobs have conditioned me to ALWAYS BE BUSY and I'm kind of freaking out. Also my new shoes kind of hurt and it sucks. I just bought them because I needed nice shoes for this job and they seemed comfortable in the store and when I wore them around the house, but they really start pinching my toes after a while because I have fat goon feet.

Oh I totally know what that's like. Some of my friends/former co-workers have moved to other places that pay better for less work and they all have this deep, unrelenting fear that a manager will burst through the door and start yelling. Actual, stupid FWP: I REALLY want to get a "Sorry For Your Loss" cake for my last day. Unfortunately my last day is probably going to be 9/11

My mom refuses to drive a little longer if the alternative is doing a u-turn. Which is why she backed into a loving parked car today, then realized the insurance card was a month expired, and got pissed at ME because she 'thought she gave it to me to make copies.' Cue me digging frantically through probably close to 20 pounds of mail to find the month old envelope with our new cards in them. Which also pisses ME off to no end because she never gave me the loving cards, and I've been driving for a month with no valid insurance card.

I bought new shoes for this job because they have a dress code and poo poo, wore them for several days and hosed up my feet, then found out I didn't even need them. I realized the employee handbook didn't say anything about shoes, so I decided to try my luck today and wore a pretty pair of Dr Martens boots. I figured the worst thing that can happen is they can make me go home or change shoes or whatever, but nobody seemed to care. The manager walked up, said something like "are those roses on your boots?" and I said yeah, and that was pretty much it.

A favorite Youtuber for this air fighting game called War Thunder posted a montage glorifying Rhodesia that hit 150k views, and the comments are almost universally positive, blaming Jews for why it fell. This is why you have to be wary of people who like the Luftwaffe a little too much.

Holy gently caress I am in the McDonald’s drive through and it’s taking forever and THIS BITCH 2 cars ahead of me at the food pickup window just asked to speak to a manager!!!! Aaaaaaa I just want my drat $1 drink! God. You stuuuupiiiidd bitch. I want to honk so badly. Or yell at her. If it’s 3 more min I’m gonna yell. Update: I got out of my car, yelled at her and nicely told the manager who was talking to her while yelling at her that I’m a loving manager at a different place and she’s about to cost the store about 10 customers so over $100 which is a loving lot at the late night shift.

My Fitbit's inner heart rate monitor has decided, at least a couple times this week, that my heart is racing. I'd be worried that my heart was actually racing, except that each of the times its done this is when I've had the thing off my wrist to shower/etc.

Unless you like your drinks watered down and dispensed from a nozzle that hasn't been cleaned in months if you're lucky.
