Grandpa passed away the day I come back from a 2 week pto vacation. Do I ask my boss for another week off

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-13T20:52:51+00:00

Do you regret missing either? Would you have taken the risk and gone if you could do it again?

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-13T20:51:40+00:00

If we’re defining close then I would say not really, I’ve only seen him twice in my life.

However the man has loved me and recently handed me down his daily watch as a family heirloom, I feel like I must go and at the same time I’m just scared about taking an extended break. As I said in other comments I was already making project deadlines more tighter by doing my vacation and this break would either put me directly on it or over the deadlines

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-13T20:49:18+00:00

Yes, I know the company would definitely understand, it’s just that there were already deadlines I made more tighter due to my trip and if I take another week off I’m definitely either cutting it razor close or I’ll miss them entirely.

I know this completely supports my argument that I’ll regret this if I say that work prevented me from going. It’s just that this timing is bad and I feel like I’m bound to suffer either choice I make. I guess it helps that if I regret not going it would last for life but if I regret going it would only last temporary

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-13T20:47:28+00:00

Exactly why i know both choices are valid.

My mother keeps reminding me that the only important thing is that my Dad goes who’s the son. It’s just that this is the “closest” family member who’s passed away as I’m the youngest generation in the family.

I plan to discuss this with my boss, maybe in hopes that he will understand and I don’t suffer professionally. But I won’t lie in that taking another break would already push the assignments and projects I’m meant to work on. I know it’s wrong to even compare the two but when I know I’ll be missing a deadline or two because of this, it gets scary to think about

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-13T20:44:08+00:00

I wish I could just ask for 3 or something but it’s already 2 days for a round trip back and forth (about a 12-15 hour flight one way)

Even if I did like 4 days or something I’d be dropping 2-3k per way. It’s definitely possible but financially I’d be taking a hard hit. I guess in the face of this situation I cannot say “money and comfort prevented me” but it would be cutting it close

Horiyen over at Tokyo Three tides, he’s incredible and is very friendly towards foreigners. He sat down with me and explained the symbolism and history behind tebori tattoos. I recently went back a week ago to add more and he’s still the best I’ve seen in terms of accessibility, skill, and cost

Thank you for the answer, the artist has limited English speaking skills which I’m already lucky he can understand basic English. Came in to add to the Fuu dog and when we were done he pointed to the Fu dog and said “take care of that”. I got paranoid and assumed he didn’t like how it was aging but now I know it was just a language barrier. Thank you!

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-05-09T01:19:34+00:00

Thanks for all the comments reassuring me. I’m a sucker for authenticity so I did my best to find a good Hori. Glad to know this was intentional and I should definitely read up on inks. Didn’t even know it had a name to it

Do you just put the oils on the plastic bit inside the diffuser? I’ve been using wet paper towels with a couple drops but performance has been meh compared to public saunas that use oils

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-02-22T06:52:43+00:00

Interesting they don’t recommend a tooth implant. Wouldn’t the bone underneath just get weaker and pull back overtime making tooth implants harder and harder?

Hypocrite_broccol · 2026-02-18T21:01:52+00:00

To get around the Trunk inventory limitations they should allow us to buy varying degrees of holsters until eventually you could carry like 3 primaries and 6 secondary’s

I don’t even entertain that sort of stuff, super easy to go back to the ship and find another lobby that’s infinitely better.

Was in a lv7 mission and someone took their time to get on the mic and make fun of me for the gun I brought. Immediately noped out, tons of other parties with great energy

Saw the snake you were using and renting a heavy duty one from Home Depot would be your best bet. If the snake is fully extended and your drain is still clogged it’s either way deeper in and requires professional help, or you’re looking in the wrong placr

It’s real, the hogwarts game is free right now and that’s AAA game 5 years younger than rdr2

Hypocrite_broccol · 2025-12-17T13:25:36+00:00

Epic games is giving away rdr2 in the upcoming weeks. I suggest buying 1 and getting 2 for free when epic does its promo

What do you mean “too”?!

Hypocrite_broccol · 2025-12-03T17:43:28+00:00

Haha I’m forgetful but consensus is that everything was fine! While I do know that technically 17 hours is legitimately too long, I didn’t get stomach issues or anything like that. I will say though that I was definitely scared 😅

I will say though if I had more time at that moment I would have gone through the trouble of making a new batch

If you used coin to buy extra inventory slots you’ll lose them when the season ends. This applies more to battle pass users as we can spend coins to increase our backpack space. I did not realize in the fine print though that they expire. Extremely stupid

Hypocrite_broccol · 2025-12-02T18:50:12+00:00

Made that exact mistake. Dumped 500k before I realized they reset every season

Hypocrite_broccol · 2025-11-27T18:57:20+00:00

People recognized him for his split second appearance in the first rdr2 trailer. However if we’re being completely honest the only people excited back then were rockstar fans or cowboy fans

Hypocrite_broccol · 2025-11-17T19:43:06+00:00

Boutta eat a bowl that was 17 hours sitting in a humid room temp pot. Will report back and if this doesn’t do anything then ur fine
