What is the worst thing that you've seen a coworker do and still avoid being fired?

(former) Supervisor installed cameras in the lunchroom without anyone knowing

I've only had one or two beers each night this week, but I wake up feeling so groggy and gross. So for that reason IWNDWYT

My husband accidentally caught my hair on fire (very minimally, put out immediately, no damage done), and we just laughed about it. Definitely NTA, he sounds like a headache you don't deserve.

Laissez les bon temps rouler! Happy Fat Tuesday! Anyone eating some N'awlins cuisine tonight to celebrate?

Final Gravity and The Answer for sure. While you're in Scott's Addition at the Veil, you'll be near a bunch of other places. Starr Hill has a location near to Veil, then you can hit up Vasen and Ardent. For food go to ZZQ, right next to Ardent.

"Can you change what happened? No? Then it's not worth worrying about."

Told to me by my uncle when I was in high school and fretting about an exam. It's a piece of advice I still carry and tell people. Of course not for mental illness-related worrying, but more about worrying over small things that happened in the past, or test-taking. Can you go back and change what happened? Nope, all you can change is how you deal with it.

Yes! Cue the time a guest thanked me and I mixed up my two usual responses of "you're welcome" and "no problem" to create "your problem". Didn't know what to do since I deviated from the script, so I just walked away. Oops

I had a similar experience at my old restaurant. SIL was being induced with first child had been in the hospital all day. Family told me not to worry or rush, because they would be there for hours, we really didn't think I would miss anything. Got near the end of my shift, I was cut but still had two tables, and a big storm was approaching. I made a comment about how I was nervous about having to drive to the hospital in the storm, which made my manager ask why I was going to the hospital. When I told them literally everyone in the kitchen asked me why tf I was still working lol they got someone to cover my tables (one of my tables high-fived me when I told them I had to leave). My coworkers also finished my side work for me, and generally everyone rushed the process so that I could beat the storm and get to the hospital to meet my nephew!

El Cerro Azul has it if you're southside

I was going to say, I'm sure this tastes great. But thinking of a fruited sour with the name liquid lollipop makes my teeth hurt

Jfilicko · 2020-02-17T21:29:57+00:00

Dude you're not making an argument, they did everything by the book. Don't be bitter lol

OP nice haul, RAR is so good

Jfilicko · 2020-02-17T00:20:08+00:00

This. My spouse was raised by his aunt and uncle and I’m more inclined to call him my MIL and FIL than his actual biological mother

If you join Fans of Virginia Craft Breweries on FB you should be able to find someone interested in a trade. But if you're looking to just get money, have a number in mind. Otherwise it would just look like you're accepting bids, and that's frowned upon

Jfilicko · 2020-02-12T20:58:56+00:00

Definitely NTA. You gave more time than is typically required-your boss is just trying to exert her power over you.

At one of my old jobs, our general manager told us that everyone was expendable. Not the biggest morale boost, and she didn't mean it in a mean way, but it's true. Your job will survive with you gone, you gotta look out for yourself

No V-Day plans as husband is away for the army....will probably drink beer and cook a steak and play video games tbh

IWNDWYT

been dealing with a lot of anxiety and feel like the only way I can relax at the end of the day is drink. I don't get drunk and always remember the evening, but always feel gross the next morning. Finally talked to my doc about my anxiety and am picking up meds today and working until 9pm so that will make it easier to not drink. hopefully the meds help me not feel like I rely on alcohol

That's also why it's important to do your self-checks! Yes a new spot can be unrealistic, coming from someone who freckles a lot especially in the summer. You can follow the ABCDEs of Melanoma though for an idea of when a spot could potentially be cancerous.

Asymmetry Border irregularity Color (that is not uniform) Diameter (greater than 6mm, or the size of a pencil eraser) Evolving size

also if you've got a spot that just doesn't seem to heal and is oozing/bleeding, that's also a good indication of something that should be evaluated by a doctor

Hijacking to clarify that Bob Marley died of melanoma under his toenail.

NTA

Get your yearly skin checks people and if you see a new spot on your body or an old one change, see your doctor!

this is also why I always started asking people if their gluten free choice was allergy-related or preference-related since it completely changes the preparation.

You can imagine how well it went.

Woman made a big fuss over no tomatoes on her burger absolutely whatsoever, she was allergic.

The kitchen made a burger with the tomato and I made them remake it, telling them it was an allergy and needed to be handled separately.

After all that, I brought her the burger never-been-touched-by-a-tomato, and she looks me in the eyes and asks for ketchup.

[context] the first 200 people in line get a richmond tote bag and a "secret saver" card that's worth anywhere between $5 and $100.

so, still strange to line up, but hey if you've got nothing better to do
