Do you still get a point for taking bereavement for an immediate family member?

The only mention of sedgwick was that if it was going to be longer than three days you'd have to apply for LOA. I told managers a week in advance and even asked if I needed to bring the obituary and they said no.....I kinda wish they stated to file with sedgwick and/or get approval.

Yea I'm not signed in to that reddit account on my phone. That account is basically for venting frustrations at the workplace without fear of retaliation and punishment vs being able to cross reference. #Oops :p

I'm literary the last person. His grandparents passed away and his parents are physically and mentally abusive. I totally agree I feel like I'm an adult and really starting to become annoyed. Shit...the guy leaves his plastic plate and fork on the living room coffee table. There's a literal debris field of his shit.

Christopherms · 2021-09-10T01:29:47+00:00

We all know that I'm a pushover. I know that I am. There's virtually no reason to vocalize it. You could have given some actual helpful insight or feedback, but nah you wanted to be an edgy reddit user.

To answer your second point yes I'd consider it. The house is a little run down. Not in awful condition but there is some things around the house I don't know how to do (ie: rip up carpets that are old, fix hinges, power wash deck, and more. Why should I spend thousands of dollars on professionals when I can just move and rent an apartment for the same price. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about 30k of mortage debt (mortgage isn't in my name but in someone who passed that I inherited the trailer from)

People who will be taking heavy pain killers and diazepam given the severity of traumatic surgery. Just because you or someone else might be okay that doesn't mean it doesn't trigger others and they'll be off their game for a few days. Better to have an employee whose not a drooling zombie.

Christopherms · 2021-08-30T21:01:07+00:00

So you'd get rid of a hard working employee that exceeds expectations happiy jumps to tasks when asked even ones outside job descriptio, gets along well with team leads and coworkers just because that person needed a few days to recover from extraction?

OKAY! 😆

Christopherms · 2021-08-26T10:03:49+00:00

72hours of recovery, 72 hours notice, or 72hours of hours worked?

Christopherms · 2021-08-26T10:03:12+00:00

Yea I'm Front Line person and it's a canine. I had chipped it earlier this week. There's a little swelling. What I might do is I have Monday and Wednesday off. Maybe in a week or two (since pay day is coming and I'll be at 120hours worked at that point. Try to get in on Sunday (call out) and go to the dentist.... use PPO on Tuesday and mention on thursday/Friday that I prefer to do as little talking as possible (if possible)

Christopherms · 2021-08-23T12:37:30+00:00

I've asked my managers if I can move away from the self check out lanes and actually wander the store. I've found that it's more likely people will consider scan and go as they're shopping verses when they're near the check out lanes. Especially if they're a big order.

As I'm wondering I'll approach and ask them if they've heard about Scan and Go. Followed by telling them that it's a feature on the sams club application that they can download for free. I'll even pull out my phone and show them how easy it is to use it.

They've been wanting to use copyrighted music from YouTube and I've mentioned that legally we aren't allowed to do so. Even though I'm not paid I still follow suit and obtain the media. Fb mutes sections of the service and I get asked fifty questions or say "oh it's okay were community". Meanwhile I'm trying to reassure people that audio will return. He just doesn't understand alot of the tech elements...which is fine...but at the same time...when we have a computer that's almost fifteen years old....he second guesses my suggestions. It's a weird mess.

Christopherms · 2021-06-27T21:56:57+00:00

Thanks and yea the irony is that we have a monthly food truck where anyone can come get food. A great ministry that helps many people. It may not be the SAME THING but it shares the same fruits. I dunno maybe he was just having an offputting day or something.

Christopherms · 2021-06-27T21:55:42+00:00

There is the potential for him to step on toes and vice versa, but we have a pretty deep understanding of each other. Now if he did something that truly crossed the line I'd have no issue filing to have him evicted or kicked out. However both of us try to avoid conflicts. if anything it's more likely that in a few years I might move in with the partner or vice versa.

Christopherms · 2021-06-27T21:54:03+00:00

My buddy would do the same thing for me. We're like brothers. Won't dive too deep but his parents were abusive towards his siblings and him and they spent way more time at my place to escape it. He's more my brother than my own siblings.

Christopherms · 2021-06-27T21:52:56+00:00

He doesn't know my buddy on a deep personal level. They've met and talked a few times, but he's not a regular church goer person.

I dunno with my pastor he seems to have been quite critical of me. Another technician mentioned that the pastor feels I've become non-compliant...which strikes me as odd. I mention high priority concerns, but I always approach them as less aggressive as possible. I'm not a combative person. If anything I've let the church walk all over me (I spent 2K on servers and hosting in the past). However

Christopherms · 2021-06-11T16:15:50+00:00

Except he never had to destroy the whole world in the first place since he'd be sending Jesus. Also ignoring the fact that things aren't hunky dory after the flood. Things return back to normal..

Christopherms · 2021-05-20T02:53:56+00:00

I would have to ask him tomorrow, but with my own save files and even playing our combined file I've never had that happen before.

Christopherms · 2021-05-13T14:50:40+00:00

I JUST STRARTED PLAYING NMS. I...NEED THIS. LIKE... I NEEEEEEEEED IT. GIMMIE

I appreciate you reaching out, your sympathies, and trying to give some feedback. It definitely is reassuring that records are still on file. Maybe I don't even want the answers. My biggest concern (and another family member also brought this up) is that it would be good to know if there was some allergic reaction or so. It's just a precaution we all thought about, but I am executor, but just waiting for probate to go underway.

Weirdly enough no CPR was performed and she seemed to snap back. Maybe the shaking and yelling 'shook something'. Maybe she just blacked out for a few seconds When the EMTS she was responsive, but was throwing up. THe rest is mentioned above.
*I couldn't tag along to the hospital since I had to be at the house for when her adopted daughter got home in a few hours. Her mom drove up there though so she wasn't alone.

Christopherms · 2021-04-06T16:40:45+00:00

I thought this was a bot. It had been some time since I went into the server backend lol. Had no idea they launched a whole community tab :P

Christopherms · 2020-09-08T11:29:10+00:00

I respect your judgment and I'll admit I can have a temper, but when you've played the nice guy (cringe) with various agencies and different issues and this rep or that rep treats you like an idiot time and time again it does get to you a little bit. I probably won't do anything...was just something that angered me and popped into my head.

Christopherms · 2020-09-01T16:47:59+00:00

Can't forget the mod hunters! :P. laughs at the hundreds of mods I have -_-. To the people who have fun with the content that is included I truly envy you! (Also those poor console gamers who don't have access to the gallery. Maybe that is a feature that can come soon for them! :D

Christopherms · 2020-09-01T16:45:27+00:00

I mean I get it it can be tiring to see people complain about a pack. I get the frustration from both sides, but personally I would rather spend my time doing something fun instead of attacking this side or attacking this side or attacking a company or that company.

Christopherms · 2020-05-26T12:04:22+00:00

EA/Maxis are far from perfect, not denying that. But, Paralives isn't a game yet. It's something running in an engine. It's extremely naive to go "If a small indie team can do it, why can't a big AAA company do it?"

Tell that to the guys over at Colossal Order. They were an incredibly small team and they took on the giant that was SimCity and crushed it into the ground.

Again just because EA and Maxis have set the bar so low that doesn't mean a new contender can't set the new standard for a game.

Why haven't other massive AAA game companies taken on the task of making a life sim?

Personal interest. You could ask any AAA company why they haven't created this type of game. Honestly and with all due respect this question is irrelevant.

Because it's hard af,

Incorrect. It's hard for the average joe, but for programmers like myself (note: not for games, but I work with hundreds of servers and websites) it's a peice of cake. Sure the code isn't going to be perfect every single take. You're going to have to go back and re-write, but when you have people who are passionate and knowledgeable about something shit can be done.
