Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay negative!
as a person who doesn't want to write my self-evaluation I think I should just get a raise for having cute hair and not have to talk about it.
Let's normalize this. Although my hair is not cute lately - I haven't had a haircut since before COVID had a name and am just wearing a knit hat all the time at this point. It's a pretty cute hat.
CUTE HAT RAISES FOR ALL.
You have my sword
And my beanie.
And my pompom! (Or whatever the bobble on the top of the hat is called)
My sword is, btw, mostly for balancing on my head. Possibly on a hat.
Last Friday, I went to get my hair cut (the salon requires masks, hand sanitizer and minimal contact; the stylist and shampoo lady wear gloves). Before going to the salon, I had the woman at the dry cleaner's ask me what hair dye I use ... and I had to tell her it's just how my hair grows. Then, at the salon, the ladies admired my nail polish. So ... compliments!
I'm getting a bonus from the job ... mostly because I've been coming in to the office, keeping it going, depositing all the checks and sending invoices (as scanned PDFs) to the appropriate people, taking care of phone calls, etc. So, not a raise, but income is well under budget so I'm glad of it.
Timelies all!
Still waiting for Mr. S's test results. In a complete coincidence, I had scheduled a COVID test at work for today.(Since Jan.3 testing is by appointment only)
Yay compliments and bonus, Toddson!
I’ve been regularly working a few hours over my regular work hours since mid to late Nov., but last week things went to another level. I wrote my boss an email yesterday saying basically: I know I’m not approved for overtime, but here’s what I’ve been doing (she knew what I was doing) and can I get overtime or comp time for the almost 2 full extra days I worked in the last week and a half.
She gave me comp time for those extra hours worked, but said to get any future extra time worked approved before doing it.
So today at 3pm I emailed her that I estimated it would take me 3 more hours of work tonight to catch up on x & y (two specific tasks to be clear on what I planned to work on). No response, so I logged off.
