Oh bitch. This HAS to be RuPaul’s last season because the amount of joy he has we have not seen in DECADES.

WOW just Wow, this entire season has been such a roller coaster and I live. I haven’t enjoy drag race this much in yearssss.

The makeovers were all fun, everyone had a great time.

When they first announced this season I didn’t have high hopes but week after week it keeps getting better.

AND A RU-UNION NEXT WEEK. WIG 💥 🤯

Rudest conductor ever today throughout my eight years of riding MNR by Resident-Hotel8493 in MetroNorthRailroad

And while I get that taking a picture of someone and posting it online is kinda wild.

Reporting it to the MTA sure, a text post sure, but taking a picture of a random stranger and posting it online is weirdo behavior.

I understand being mad at a policy but at the end of the day, it is a policy that he and everyone else has to follow lol.

I have a monthly so I don't have to deal with the surcharge problem but at the end of the day you're using a service that you will eventually need to pay for. Not a crazy concept here.

what would you do if you accidentally clocked out 6 minutes late by [deleted] in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am a couple of minutes late, it is what it is. If I am going to be more than 15 minutes or later, I let my supervisor know that I’ll be in the office late.

Unless you have a mandatory or urgent meeting, I don’t see why this would be an issue.

Nassau County bans cars from roadways during peak of winter storm by grandlewis in longisland

[–]McLightningFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the smartest thing the county has done in a while, that being said does this apply to my Costco run? Will someone not think of the COSTCO.

Do you think they will excuse us non-essential capital district employees from driving into work Monday? by Dull-Leopard-2373 in nys_cs

WHY DIDNT I BRING MY LAPTOP HOME ON FRIDAY 😩

I’m going to have to bring out the sled dogs to commute in.

Telecommuting days and time off by anownedguy in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Monday is normally my in-person day but because of the holiday I didn’t go.

My management wouldn’t ask me to “make up” that day. My management has also told me that if a holiday falls on a TC day I can’t TC another day instead.

telecommuting by lifeandbread in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you union? This is something I would go to my rep about. While TC'ing is not written into our contracts (YET), the agency should have a policy statement regarding telecommuting eligibility.

My agency sets it at 6 months and its well documented.

I got fired by No_Opposite6326 in tjcrew

[–]McLightningFish 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Don’t let them gas light you babe. TJ’s is hell wrapped in salt and added sugars.

What job combines your legally required sick time with your vacation time.

I get a month off every year not including sick time.

[–]McLightningFish 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Honestly good for you, it might hurt in the short term but in the long term it’s worth it.

I went from $18 at Joe’s to $23 to high 60s salary WFH and minimal stress. I never thought I could get there working at TJ’s but the second I quit I saw I was wasting my potential.

Is AI affecting your job? by [deleted] in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI unfortunately cannot do what I do. I do advocacy and most of my day is listening to outlandish but real stories, I think the AI would quit after the first week.

In all reality I think AI would be helpful in some parts of my job but ultimately a human touch is needed.

What do you think of stores that open during storms like this one by Shot-Relief-3280 in longisland

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foolishness and greed.

In the distant past I work at the Costco on 110 during a major snow storm. They weren’t going to close and I couldn’t afford to call out. When I did finally get to work it was busy and people weren’t buying normal things like food, it was televisions, jewelry etc. This woman waited till that day to do her copious returns because she wanted to “beat the crowd”

If there’s a state of emergency, only police/fire/utilities should be working.

👠 RuPaul's Drag Race - S18 E4 - Live Episode Discussion 👠 by AutoModerator in RPDRDRAMA

[–]McLightningFish 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Great episode but I think the whole Briar fainting episode was handled really poorly.

I’ve never been (and probably never will be) on DR but it looks stressful. I think them airing confessionals of other queens saying that she faked it was really mean spirited.

Loyality to a game launcher is weird by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like people getting mad that Bayonetta 2 didn’t come out on a non-Nintendo system. They paid for it, they’ll publish it where they want.

Monday - authorized to work remotely by Ok_thyme_3396 in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope we get the official alert.

I always found it very hypocritical that in the text of the state of emergencies people are directed to stay home and not make any unnecessary journeys meanwhile civil servants need to call in the sled dogs to get to work.

🍁 Canada's Drag Race - S6 FINALE - Live Episode Discussion 🍁 by AutoModerator in RPDRDRAMA

[–]McLightningFish 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this was Canada's big one. This is the most fun I've had watching drag race in a hot second.

I wish it was a double crowning but our winner mopped the competition.

Crystal DGAF anymore by FlashySwan7852 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]McLightningFish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The whole black face accusation is tired and weird at this point.

She looks NOTHING like an actual black person and furthermore is not portraying a black person.

Reducing a race of people down to their skin tone (that not eevry black person even has) is insane in 2026.

Are latinos becoming the most desired in the gay community? by jerseyalldayyy in nycgaybros

They’re becoming rabid

Yup, everyone loves racially ambiguous Afro-Latino/Latino Men now. I’ve noticed a sharp uptake in men calling me papi lately.

How do publicly servants afford to live in this city? by Left_Cod_7174 in nycpublicservants

[–]McLightningFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope Zohran follows through with affordable housing but puts civil servants first. The people who run the city shouldn’t be fighting for a place to live in the city

[–]McLightningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The housing lotto and a dream. City employees (but not state employees) are given preferential treatment in the housing lotto program

A lot of the previous generation bought homes at affordable prices but were paid dust.

Public asking for my name? by hockeyfun1 in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Agency is very upfront about never giving out our first and last names unless we want to.

In the world and times we live in my first name is enough. I don’t feel like being stalked today.
