I told my boss I might be quitting on short notice if I get a job I interviewed for yesterday and he told me if I didn't give notice he would fire me on the spot and hold my last check

So

I got that going for me

Yes! I actually pointed this out and he was basically like lol you think the owner cares

This I after i spent two months getting a paycheck j error fixed because the boss just dragged his feet forever

And six months being scheduled for shifts I've told them multiple times I can't work

So since two weeks is generally a courtesy you extend what reason do I possibly have to be nice to them, especially after that

And honestly I hope he'll try to drag this out because I'll loving put him out of business from the cost before I give up

the empire: is not. the empire's basically nazis.

well of course i am reading ward. really wondering what tattletale is up to at this point.

presumably she's the information broker mentioned in the first interlude but my guess is she's trying to be a power broker, manipulating the various factions to try to keep the peace. it would explain her trying to chase off Victoria in the last chapter because her arrival, and the arrival of her team, would upset that balance in a way she hadn't planned for

2. Never allow a lady to get a chair for herself, ring a bell, pick up a handkerchief or glove she may have dropped, or, in short, perform any service for herself which you can perform for her, when you are in the room. By extending such courtesies to your mother, sisters, or other members of your family, they become habitual, and are thus more gracefully performed when abroad.

cried out "i thought you were gone!" when i banged on the door begging for a band-aid after slamming my thumb in a car door

4. It is not necessary to tell all that you know; that{187} were mere folly; but what a man says must be what he believes himself, else he violates the first rule for a gentleman’s speech—Truth.

lied about weird stuff for reasons that weren't clear and often made himself look worse and not better

6. Cultivate tact! In society it will be an invaluable aid. Talent is something, but tact is everything. Talent is serious, sober, grave, and respectable; tact is all that and more too. It is not a sixth sense, but it is the life of all the five. It is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively touch; it is the interpreter of all riddles—the surmounter of all difficulties—the remover of all obstacles. It is useful in all places, and at all times; it is useful in solitude, for it shows a man his way into the world; it is useful in society, for it shows him his way through the world. Talent is power—tact is skill; talent is weight—tact is momentum; talent knows what to do—tact knows how to do it;{188} talent makes a man respectable—tact will make him respected; talent is wealth—tact is ready money. For all the practical purposes of society tact carries against talent ten to one.

repeatedly insinuated i was a skank and pointed out to strangers that i have drawn pornography

7. Nature has left every man a capacity of being agreeable, though all cannot shine in company; but there are many men sufficiently qualified for both, who, by a very few faults, that a little attention would soon correct, are not so much as tolerable. Watch, avoid such faults.

insisted on paying for a gifted burrito in loose change due to complete unwillingness to accept any gift or favor from anyone

9. Avoid a conceited manner. It is exceedingly ill-bred to assume a manner as if you were superior to those around you, and it is, too, a proof, not of superiority but of vulgarity. And to avoid this manner, avoid the foundation of it, and cultivate humility. The praises of others should be of use to you, in teaching, not what you are, perhaps, but in pointing out what you ought to be.

routinely disparaged my tastes or doubted my tastes if he happened to agree with them, as it was inconceivable i could do anything smart (like him)

14. In meeting a lady at the head of a flight of stairs, wait for her to precede you in the descent.

lied to me about where he was and left me on his porch in the rain and night and then kicked me out almost immediately to go buy toilet paper


whew there are too many of these


67. Nothing can be more ill-bred than to meet a polite{206} remark addressed to you, either with inattention or a rude answer.

literally more times than i could ever describe, including calling him "handsome" and having him immediately respond "goodbye"

i was enjoying gotham academy and the vision for awhile, but i'm sick and tired of all my favorite books being written like rear end otherwise

If you like vision that guy is writing Batman now and it's loving incredible

Also the Flintstones book that came out last year I'd a secret masterpiece, it's this rad social commentary but like weird as hell

There's a subplot through most of the book about how the appliances are slaves and at one point the appliances call the family pet "uncle Dino"

Also the issue about marriage where Fred refused to get married until Adam and Steve can get married, and also there's a gay bar called Homo Erectus
