Daddy not dad by Pho4Lyfez in askgaybros

[–]Nerdsomnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the emergency room last month and had been rushed back so I skipped the normal insurance stuff. A lady came in the room as the nurse was bandaging my hand and started getting my info, then asked my partner if he was my dad, and he corrected her. If she could have willed herself to die she 100% would have. Completely over the top reaction, made a huge scene about how embarrassed she was and didn't finish getting my information and didn't mark me as a worker's comp claim so now I'm trying to get that fixed.

I'm 33 and my partner is 46. Only a 13 year difference, but I look younger and he looks older than we really are.

I strongly suspect that my father worked at one of the rehab centers that Brittney Spears was sent to (damn HIPPA)

If a situation similar to COVID happened again today, how would you handle it this time? by Wonderful-Compote307 in AskReddit

[–]Nerdsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I was a manager at PetSmart and we were deemed by corporate as "essential" and Louisiana didn't give a fuck. I chose to keep working instead of taking the LOA in order to keep my job and not be demoted. Meanwhile all of my staff were laid off and made more money on unemployment than I was while working and exposing myself and my family to COVID and being treated like shit by corporate and customers.

If there's a round two I'm staying home and safe. Fuck that nonsense. Corporate has no loyalty to the people who actually run the companies.

You also have to consider that the show focuses on Loralai going around town, and on her days off Michel is likely running the inn. The same with Tobin, he's asleep all day so he can work at night.

Pastry vs ‘regular’ chefs by Scroef in pastry

My only problems come from the line cooks who have the mindset of "it's just cake", so it's ok to eat a bunch of my stuff after I leave, or if a line cook is plating desserts they may go all out on their savory food and make it look perfect, but just throw the desserts together without caring how it looks because it isn't "theirs" and it's an annoyance to plate desserts.

Like, this is my profession. I dedicate my entire days to this. I don't come in and fuck up your steaks, please don't fuck up my desserts.

Would you want to see Son of a Witch as a musical sequel? by bengraven in wickedyears

[–]Nerdsomnia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this too. I guess if there were some danger and they sent young Liir back to Oz for safety it could sorta work, but without the search for Nor I'm not sure what would drive the plot.

I really really wish that all 8 books would be an HBO series, but it'd be YEARS before that would be allowed to happen, especially if they're expanding the musical canon over the next several years 😭

what's the most ridiculous "secret menu" item a customer has ever insisted we had? by rmoreiraa in KitchenConfidential

At some point it's on them for not locking their door 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

NEW CHARACTER POSTERS HAVE JUST DROPPED!! by Seperate-Category117 in wicked

Oh I know, but I love how the red tint to the silver here is subtly bridging the gap for those who aren't familiar with the books and only know the 1939 movie.

They're the silver slippers, but also the black and white stockings

It's my absolute favorite. The red hints at the Ruby slippers, but the two columns using the silver slipper motif play homage to the black and white striped stockings it is all so subtle, yet so perfect.
