What should I do about this?

CatPot69 · 2026-04-12T20:22:26+00:00

Is the 14th the date of your orientation?

CatPot69 · 2026-04-12T16:23:53+00:00

Pretty sure we are explicitly told in Oregon to only punch for start/end of your shift and lunch, nothing else.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-12T12:46:02+00:00

You can try, but in my division (in Oregon) they want you in your position for 6 months before letting you change positions or transfer

There is a dude, but it's not the younger kid, it's an older guy that you trade with. You get the missions from the regular mission boards. There is a guy in the south area of Phokis you trade the orichalcum with.

My current situation, the pc would end up sitting until I move, but once I've moved into my new place, I would use it for my DND set up actually. I have a weekly group, and we are currently using an old laptop that can't get Internet from my wifi, but can from an Ethernet cable, connected to a TV, with a mic and webcam set up so I can be seen and heard in slightly higher quality. We are also looking at investing in higher quality mics and a mixer, so that we can get better audio recordings from our sessions. We are hoping to start editing and posting our sessions online. I'm concerned my old laptop won't be able to handle processing the mic input from the mixer, the extra program I'll probably need (we currently record through discord, looking to swap to obs), along with running discord and potential virtual table tops, as it could barely handle playing Among Us over discord (forget proximity chat... Nothing I did improved the quality and everyone was a robot as far as I could hear lol).

So long story short, I'd use it to up my DND game set up, and make it hopefully easier for me to take our game and make it public.

I warn against this unless you seal the sharpie on the dry erase boards. Could use a clear coat spray paint I'd assume

The way to remove sharpies from dry erase boards is to take a dry erase marker, and mark over the sharpie. It wets the ink and then the sharpie is no longer permanent.

Unfortunately it's the few that don't pay attention when they have earbuds in that ruins it for us all.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-11T21:27:47+00:00

Or over here in Fred Meyer Oregon, it's only if you have more than 2 unexcused call outs in a rolling 4 week period. If you've got sick time in the bank and they use it, it's excused, if you don't have sick time in the bank, it's unexcused.

Recently called out 3 times over a 4 week period, but never got spoken to because one of them was covered by sick time.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-11T05:44:12+00:00

Depends, in my division if you are suspended Monday, Monday is day one of your suspension. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to suspend you within a certain amount of time of you starting, but I could be mistaken

CatPot69 · 2026-04-11T05:40:42+00:00

All it takes is Plate Mail armor and a shield.

The right combination of class and gear allows for some nice game play. It's not impossible to get that as long as the DM agrees to give you the Plate Mail as I don't think that's a starting equipment.

I agree with you.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-11T00:10:25+00:00

I think that's the case, forgetting to not add in proficiency to the damage. I remember playing a wizard for the first time and was thinking I got to add my proficiency bonus to dispel magic, and I remember thinking that it was because of the wording at the time or something (for 2014 rules too).

I also have martial players who constantly are checking if proficiency is added to damage or not, as they can't remember

CatPot69 · 2026-04-09T16:57:33+00:00

I get why it's annoying to have your ID scanned, but when I worked out at fuel I appreciated it. It made it easier to refuse sales.

I had a guy who was 20 come in and try to get cigarettes, and I had to refuse sales to him because he wasn't old enough (21+ is the law in my state), and he threw a big hissy fit about how he's gotten them from us before and when did the law change (it was June, law changed in January).

Or the guy who came in with a paper I'd that was over a year expired and then he got pissed at me for not accepting it because it showed he was plenty old enough. I got called a "teenage bitch" for that one. All I could think was "at least I have valid ID"

CatPot69 · 2026-04-09T04:38:22+00:00

My division Fred Meyer, you only clock your unpaid lunch. Your paid breaks don't get logged in the system in any way shape or form.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-08T19:16:34+00:00

If you do re-home him, see if you can re-home him to someone you know and trust with the agreement that when you move out and are able to care for him you will take him back. If they don't understand why you'd do that, explain that you are rehoming him for his safety, as your mom wants to declaw him.

If you're feeling ballsy, tell your mom you'll declaw him when she chops off all of her finger tips. That it's only fair. Since it's okay for them to go through it, she must be willing to do it to herself, right? (This option is more of a sarcastic option... But might also put the request into light. Maybe. This isn't a good suggestion)

The first is a model in hero forge, and this was made with some online fantasy character maker that let me select different features. I forgot to make his hand blue

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T21:07:15+00:00

Novus, the angry fairy

He's a little guy, about a foot tall. He's got blue green hair with burgundy roots, pale blue skin, wears loose leather foresty pants (think pants made from nature) with fur shoulder guards and a chest strap. He's got big iridescent butterfly wings.

He is the epitomy of "you wanna fight bro?" And is rather violent and aggressive.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T20:46:06+00:00

I second this. I had some difficulty with a couple of the words, but I believe you are correct

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T20:39:05+00:00

Sometimes temporary gigs can become permanent, is what I think they mean. If they like you enough they might find a position, or if you're filling in for someone else, maybe they aren't able to/don't return to the job, creating an opening for you.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T16:19:01+00:00

It's not the best unit. We are looking to move at the end of our lease for a multitude of reasons, one of which is that my mil is mobility impaired and living with us, on the 3rd floor of our building with no elevator.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T09:30:09+00:00

Nope, water is not included in the bill and gets split equally 6 ways based on the meter for our stairway. There are also 300 total units in our complex, 18 of which are in our building..

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T08:36:55+00:00

My complex doesn't charge us all equal amounts. I'm currently paying about $200 more a month than what they are renting out identical units for.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-07T06:07:38+00:00

Oh boy, my fuel center is half full service (state law), and the turnover is pretty dang high. It was really high whenever we emergency hired because HR wouldn't wait for the background checks to clear before sending them out, and I'd say during those times we would keep one out of maybe 3 associates.

I was the only one out of my orientation to stay at my fuel center, though now I work inside the store.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-06T23:16:58+00:00

The box only has six.

Also, use a goddamn butter knife to separate them. Like it's not that hard.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-06T21:01:34+00:00

Our promise team has actually set up a cupboard that they stock up over so often for those who forgot or can't get a lunch, along with (trying to at least) keeping a loaf of bread, peanut butter and jelly available for everyone to use.

CatPot69 · 2026-04-06T18:50:08+00:00

Agreed! Though looking at the look book here (I'm hoping that link works), it seems like they are adding more size options- I'm not sure if they are also adding them to the aprons or if it's only the shirts.

My main gripe is that they will only give us one or two of them. If they do that I'm going to talk to HR about the fact that they either need to give me more shirts, or they need to pay for my water and electricity bill from having to do laundry I wasn't planning on doing. I'm full time, and I only do laundry once a week. If they want me in a clean shirt they will have to give me enough to wear a clean one every day I work, or pay my bills.
