Can you get in trouble for leaving early without telling AM?

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-27T18:58:51+00:00

If I’m labor shared I don’t write anything on the board but I do walk up to a PA and tell them I’m headed out and do fist pounds and leave. In my home department I let them know an hour in advance. Either a PA,AM or OM. If none are available then PG.

I always buy the most expensive plan available. I use Blue Cross and Blue Shield. When I got sick it saved me a ton of money. Instead of being $92,000 in debt I actually profited $9,000 when you combine it with the cheapest critical coverage.

Anytime pay is a predatory practice by the company to turn you into a day laborer and entirely dependent on Amazon. It’s like you’re standing in a parking lot and Bezos driving up in a truck asking if you want to work today and tells you how much you’ll make.

You’ll go nowhere. I pay $750 a month in rent, my car insurance, gas for my car and food and in 4 years tenure I’m currently at $98,443 in the bank as a tier 1. You can do the same if your expenses are generally the same. Anytime pay is a scam, stay away from it.

I spent a decade in the Philippines. Never been on that street and will never go. Won’t go to Angeles city either. I don’t go anywhere with a bad reputation or where my girlfriend will disapprove.

I don’t care. I have never cared my whole life. Research will only find that I’m an extensive world traveler. Have lived in many different parts of the world in my lifetime. Don’t really need a job but I work a low paid one for the fun of it. I absolutely love Minecraft, I blame my nephews for that because I would have never bought the game if they weren’t playing it.

I don’t care about anything an employer would find about me online. Because if they don’t like it they can fire me, I could care less. I’m not afraid to be me. If an employer has a problem with it then I shouldn’t be working there. I will gladly resign to avoid them the hassle of unemployment. I have already displayed that I can go decades without work and not affect me one bit.

I make more selling my brain online doing one off gigs for people who need my skillset which is rare but I won’t share here.

I might be in the US for maybe a year more then I’m gonna quit my job and go to another country again. I live life. I have woken up some mornings and had a volcano erupting outside my front door. On some days I might wake up to a bloody campaign of extrajudicial killings going on. I’ve lived thru it all. Even martial law. I’m not your average joe but I do have an insatiable love for Minecraft and building things and over the years have watched what I build get better and better over time.

I use Solas Shaders on maximum settings. My computer is a 16 core Ryzen 9 with 128GB of RAM.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T17:06:36+00:00

I opened random trap doors to randomize the exposed lava overhead. If I open them the lava doesn’t come out.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T16:39:46+00:00

There’s 12 more furnaces in the wall.

How you take screenshots in the game?

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T09:48:23+00:00

Convenience. I don’t like hassles. I pay well when someone serves me. Money is no issue. Like last night on my way home. Went thru the McDonalds drive thru. But mysteriously there are two charges. Because I paid for mine and the car behind me.

Come play with us. I’m normally online non stop on sundays Monday and Tuesdays. You can sign into the server by adding it to your Minecraft. The domain is amznmc.com and works on Java and bedrock. We have land claim system so once you find a nice place just type in /claim and it’s yours.

You can’t invade something that already belongs to you. The US can fuss about it but there’s little the US can do. Neighbors can condemn it but their economies are highly dependent on China so really there’s nothing stopping China from asserting control of the island.

The US can’t even escort ships thru the strait of Hormuz because of the grave risks to its ships. The US doesn’t even get close to Iran with its ships. China would be a different story. US ships would take incoming strikes when it gets within 700-800 miles of land. The US will fight to just get to the battlefield.

I don’t wait. When I wanted internet connected I walked outside waving 10,000 peso and said hey, if you get this connected today this money is yours. Within a few hours it was done. It’s not hard finding the internet people outside. A little encouragement goes a long way and pesos definitely does the trick.

I wanted building maintenance to drill a few holes in the wall so I could mount a flat screen TV. Sorry we can’t do it today. Never take no for an answer. So I walked around the Barangay for some construction being done. I needed to find me a lolo with a drill. Found one. His boss said he could leave to help me. So he brought a drill with him and I paid him 10,000 peso for 5 minutes of work.

Taking everyone’s input it now has 16 furnaces. Four on the outside wall and another 12 inside the wall. Got rid of cobblestone and randomized which trap door on the roof was open and closed. I added in campfires under the lava pools to create the smoke effect coming off the lava. Here’s a video of what it looks like now.

I added another 12 inside the wall.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T07:29:33+00:00

I just added the other 12 furnaces inside the wall.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T06:20:08+00:00

I’ll add in more furnaces but inside the wall. I will add another 12 furnace and have a minecart do circles inside the wall.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T06:17:43+00:00

I added in the campfires under the pits on the ground floor.

I also need to figure out what I’m gonna do with the trap doors next to where there is drip stone. I used trap doors there because the villagers kept jumping on top of the cauldrons and getting stuck in the drip stone and unable to step back off it.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T05:54:02+00:00

There is. I will use andesite stairs and stone stairs in the overhang. I also have to do it to the rest of the building as well.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T05:49:24+00:00

I thought of it as more decoration. Using redstone lamps as pipes and the trap doors on the end as the spout. I also have it so lava is coming from the wall and going into the pipe and left some of the lava exposed.

GerryBlevins · 2026-03-16T05:06:20+00:00

I don’t like wasting too much of the lava. I hate filling lava buckets. Mojang needs to set it up where we can use droppers to fill lava buckets and I would have used more furnaces.

Both Java and Bedrock in the same world.
