(Yup, I did it.)
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Y'all are cracking me up with the emojis and reactions thereto
I guess the new location is findable, I had to dash back out to my register the first time I tried to take a break and we are perpetually out of carts. People really like the wider aisles and heat, but I kinda miss the warehouse vibe.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Latest work communication fail: an invite was sent out "our location Christmas Celebration"
Now at my workplace less that half the employees have work email.
I mention the holiday party to 2 new employees I am onboarding.
Today I am told that this is NOT for them, just office staff and I was not to have told anyone and "who all did you talk to about it?"
NOTHING IN THE EMAIL SAYS IT IS AN OFFICE STAFF ONLY THING. Also? That is rude and bullshit and RUDE.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
msbelle, you need to get out of that 💩 place. They don't deserve you. It's SUPER RUDE.
(Sorry. Had to test the emojis.)
~ma and love to everyone that wants or needs it.

I have spent a large part of today running different scenarios of when to give notice.

Ugh, msbelle!
I got to leave the sale an hour early, hooray! An hour more of my regular job this afternoon, but my ankles are happier sitting down.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Most of the emojis show up as boxes for me. Then again, I am using a rather outdated version of Safari...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That is terrible msbelle!
We have this weird thing where they collect a monetary "offering" for the physical plant staff and I find it super condescending and also blind to the fact that many of the office staff make less than these employees who are in a union. I am on the diversity and inclusiveness committee, so this year I brought it to the staff diversity officer, and he agreed with me! I don't want to cut these people out of getting a huge cash gift, but maybe it should come from the school or faculty. Or we should do personal gifts/gift cards like they do with me and other office staff. I still get a fair amount, but it isn't presented to me in a weird ceremony, and it is all from Deans and faculty. Fellow staff members give cookies or something.

I am firmly in the no gifts except from the company camp.

Good job bringing it up, Sophia.
I bought myself tickets to see Knives Out after work today as a reward for getting through this weird-ass day. Yay!
Now that I'm on my windows machine many of the emojis are boxes and others just look different than they did on my phone. Less weirding me out, I think? They kinda look more like text even though they definitely are not.
