Also, she would so offend the boards members they'd hunt her down...

We put up with SorO.

We're environmentalists here, we only kill that which we can use the entire carcass.  SorO's spleen has no known alchemical properties.

Hadda cover for a coworker who left 10 minutes early.  Someone crossed out 4h10m on my sheet and wrote 4h.  Today I need to decide if 10 minutes pay is a hill worth dying on.

Perhaps it was an honest correction; someone thinking you were 'milking' the clock and didn't wanna confront you 'bout it. They shoulda talked to you if they were honestly trying to make things 'right', but some folks avoid drama like drama.

Talk it through, don't die on the hill, but scout it at least. Maybe only use binocs... up to you :)

The 10 minutes has gone by the wayside.  Tripped at work last night and nearly blew out my knee, so now I'm just hoping to keep the job.

Aww, love you to bro.

And speaking of lovable assholes, my cat let me know she was highly displeased with my lack of worship a few days ago by walking up, staring at me, and then vomiting. >.>

That's because it's divine based energy instead of alchemical. Detect Soul should land a few hits, Detect Magic will label the aura Transmutation since it converts nearby love into hatred, plus it doubles up as a Metamagic Component; adding Intensify to any Burning Blood Spell.

Eh, rip it off like a bandaid.

...The job not the knee.

Spending 8 hrs in the emergency room for the doctors to still not have a clue what caused the problem.

Was my other half, not me. The doctors are still bloody useless.

Was it incarceritis brought on by by an acute fecal impaction in the Circle of Willis leading to a cephaloanal inversion? If so, treat the whinorrhea with a callbellectomy and avoiding future gravity assisted concrete poisoning.

I jest I jest, it was probably something serious and you need to follow up with a specialist.

This'll be a long one.

Got back to work last night. Got told I'll be getting paid my time off, but I have to be written up for safety violation. Whatever, saw that coming.

Learned H- has been busy.

We're supposed to write down when police are on and off site. Sheriff needed to talk to an employees family discreetly so snuck in through a back road connecting several factory properties. H- sees them leave, and freaks out calling the Sheriff's office demanding they tell him when they arrived.

Next day cop is in parking lot and pulls over a guard. there was an incident next door, and we share a lot with them, so he just wanted to know who she was and wtf she was doing there. H- freaks out and calls the cops again. That's right, he called the police on the police. Twice.

He's called the client contact multiple times over piddly stuff, telling her he can "no longer bring himself to trust or believe his supervisor".

He 'cancelled' patrols several nights due to thunderstorms (including patrols inside the factory) despite not having the authority to do so.

He deliberately told the new girl how to do stuff wrong.

He went around asking the guards to sign statements on how poorly the supervisor treats them (i.e. him).

Someone (most likely him) has already damaged the phone we use to scan dots.

He is now under investigation claiming the company is trying to fire him, saying he pulled a female into a restroom. Boss says no, he's under investigation because one of the cleaning ladies complained about site damage in the men's restroom, and he took her inside so she could show him said damage while male employees were using the facilities.

Boss also fell asleep after working four 12 hour days to help cover me, came in late, and H- wants him fired for missing work.

A client employee pulled me to the side and told me "If you see a white dodge ram, thats my dad and he's probably here to kill me."

Got a phone call screaming "There's a (racial slur for African Americans) taking pictures of the building!! You have to stop him!!"

No raccoons, but the ever present goose army was there to greet me.

I am currently ENRAGED by the spineless attitude my friends are showing towards another of our friends harmful beliefs. People who normally vehemently fight for what they believe in are suddenly taking the "everyone has a right to believe what they want" approach because they don't want to make waves.


Her: "I could say a lot but I know better, so I will hold my tongue. I will respect your beliefs, however I will not change my mind."

Mutual Friend: "No one is expecting you too. Thank you for sharing your insights and letting us sharw ours."

Her: "Of course! There's nothing wrong with that. As long as we can all get along despite political bs then I am all good. ;) Life is too short."

What the FUCK. You just openly stated that you support the destruction of a government program that is currently keeping almost every one of our mutual friends afloat, including the ones in this conversation. The stated reasoning was based entirely on a fictional boogeyman, who was outright debunked. Go fuck yourself.

We bought eclipse glasses from amazon months ago, and this morning got an email that they might be fake and we were getting a refund. Except now EVERYWHERE is sold out of glasses that aren't absurdly expensive. FML

These guys are seeing if they've got any left in stock.

Also you might be interested in going to a Library or NASA event which might be able to provide you with glasses.
