Staying past the end of your shift for an hour because you need to give an 80 year old instructions on how to configure an email client over the phone is not a fate I would wish upon my worst enemy. My labor is worth more than this.

I think my boss has more or less confirmed that I've set an all time record for tardies at the company. They don't wanna fire me because being 5 minutes late a lot really doesn't seem so bad considering my performance reviews are light years above everyone else's. But now they're telling me I need to go see a therapist or something in order to get my autism or some poo poo formally on record so as to give me and them plausible deniability as to why I haven't been booted yet.

I personally really like dark beers. They should start selling the Leinenkugel snowdrift vanilla porter here soon. I like that one a lot. Guinness is also just kinda one I like as a basic beer for me. I'm drunk rn btw

How was the interview?

Oh it was great. There's like 10 other people gunning for the position and I'm not even close, but whatever. I can just apply for other stuff. I bet I can get out of a customer facing position by June next year.

Yeaaaah dude I don't get to bid on a new shift until September! I took this idiot night shift before they put me on cable support and now I've been hooked into TV troubleshooting throughout primetime baby. I want my life back Mark.

I have to say I am glad that where I work, the bosses don't really tolerate that stuff. I've had run ins with a couple repeat offenders going off on transphobic screeds and one malding incident over the Little Mermaid remake. It had been an ongoing thing with those couple guys and one point it got so egregious and the conversation started spreading out to a couple other people who were obviously not into it so I shot an email to my supervisor, and in the next couple minutes the big boss swooced around the corner to take them away for a quick "shut the hell up" talk. I haven't heard a peep from them since. My bosses are all conservatives but they're professionals first.

I would really like a job where I'd be doing something good for humanity. As of right now my main duty is to reset old folks' cable boxes because they wanna watch fox news. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I was convinced that STEM was the only way I was gonna avoid poverty. Well I was terrible at it, and dropped out, and now look at me.

i have an exciting career opportunity for you in the world of burying meemaws

protip: don't do it lol

How much does an undertaker make if you don't mind me asking? I probably won't go for it because moving several tons of dirt a day will kill me. And they won't even let me die in the grave I dug.
(At least that's what I assume burying meemaws refers to. Unless you're suggesting I start knocking grocery store shelves on top of old ladies as part of life insurance fraud schemes.)

Shift....bids? I'm not familiar with this so like, going off if how it sounds, so is it that workers have to essentially "fight" for specific, 'valuable, high-income' shifts?

Nah they just lay out what shifts they need people to work, then people pick what ones they want the most and you get dealt them based on seniority,

Like, unless you really need to leave a job on good terms, or you actually had a good working relationship with your employer, what's the point of a 2 weeks? When I worked for Taco Bell as a teenager I just stopped showing up one day because that poo poo had me so neurotic.

Uuuughhh I had a racist rear end karen give me the business. Lady out here like "I don't mean anything bad by this, but some of the guys working on the line looked like, Mexican or something and maybe didn't understand English" and this bitch out here insinuating that our guys don't know how to do their jobs because they look Mexican. It took all my strength not to just go "Oh my God lady that's so drat racist."

Worst thing about going back to the office is that I have to sit next to the problematic people again. Instead of complaining about “woke” marvel the conversation is about house flipping now so maybe that’s an improvement?
