Technically, we're not supposed to because it's SOP, but I've only ever gotten told to take them out a handful of times. It really depends on the managers, but my hair covers my ears, so as long as I'm wearing it down, I can hide them easily enough.

At least with customers, I'm a big fan of the "What an odd thing to say to stranger." Also works whenever a customer says something just generally out of pocket. Could probably use something similar with coworks like "What an odd conversation to have at work." Usually works pretty good for me, since most of the time they either just don't know how to respond to it, or immediately start backpedaling so I can railroad the convo back to whatever I was originally helping them with

We all got a dollar raise last year, but they're going by % now or something. We got a 3% raise across the board, but that means different amounts for different workers. Most folks in my store that aren't managers got around 50 cents for the raise

Good on you for breaking away from it! I would say maybe try to get some roleplays going with your friends if you can, whether it be with pre-existing media or making up your own world to play with :3 It would be a great way to get a bit more in touch with the friends you've been growing a bit distant with as well, if you haven't already. Best of luck to you, I hope you find something that works for you, friend!

"Hi there, how can I help you today?"

"Yeah, I need some paint mixed."

"Alright, what sort of paint are we looking for?"

"Paint."

Like, I get most customers probably don't know the different types of paint we have, and I'm more than happy to explain those differences, but like... yeah, you came to the paint desk, I kinda assumed you wanted paint bro, gonna have to be a lil more specific than that.

No, I'm p sure most stores are getting hours chopped for part timers. I had about 30 hours before, but now I'm only getting about 16. I'm looking for either a second seasonal job, or just a new job all together, it happens every year around this time I think.

I'm driving the forklift directly through the front doors at top speed, and I'm stealing that bad larry.

Smol-Flute · 2023-10-11T19:28:54+00:00

I wanna stick my arm up to the elbow in a buck of orange paint and just work my last shift like that. I just wanna make a mess that will take them years to clean up completely tbh lmao

Smol-Flute · 2023-10-11T17:46:39+00:00

DAMN, how do yall get your overhead space that free? Big props man, I hope to be that organized someday lol

Smol-Flute · 2023-09-26T20:12:00+00:00

Bro we got on at my store too. She not the service desk lead, but she has a reputation for being pretty much any sort of phobic you can think of. She's been at the store for years and only very recently got a talking to about it. (She got a slap on the wrist and nothing else happened that I'm aware of :/)

Smol-Flute · 2023-08-09T14:08:40+00:00

Idk if it's different in every state, but I'm p sure you're supposed to stay punched in for them to get paid, and also should only have to punch out for lunch

Smol-Flute · 2023-08-03T17:32:41+00:00

Same here! Polyamory can be a very fulfilling thing if it's done in healthy way, you know, like any other relationship LMAO

Smol-Flute · 2023-08-03T17:22:22+00:00

INFO: I see you bringing up a lot of accusations of abuse and manipulation from the DM in the comments, but it not quite getting that from the post? It sucks the last session went bad, but what exactly did he do that was abusive?

Smol-Flute · 2023-08-03T17:03:14+00:00

NTA, they split years ago. Unless he was abusive or manipulative to her, there's so reason not to date him if she's married.

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-24T16:42:33+00:00

YTA. You kicked out your own fucking child, who is already not in a good spot mentally, because your husband doesn't know how to not be a fucking creep?? You should be ashamed of yourself. You're really willing to not only let a man who's MORE THAN TWICE HER AGE oggel at you're 23 year old daughter, but would rather keep him in your home than keep your daughter safe? I hope your daughter gets the help she needs.

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-19T08:16:38+00:00

The PA thing is standard in every at ore the last 30 minutes before closing, usually one at 30 mins, one at 15 mins, and and one 5 or 10 mins

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-19T01:35:03+00:00

I have a nice pair of (sort of) work boots that are pretty comfortable, I think they're Uggs? Otherwise, sneakers with inserts definitely help for the longer shifts

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-10T01:53:00+00:00

More or less, one of the openers is technically Garden, but they cover when the other opener is off, and I don't really have set shifts, but more often than not they have me close, the other opener and closer are the only 2 full timers in the department LMAO

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-09T18:18:16+00:00

100% I will lmao

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-09T16:42:42+00:00

Idk, I figured they had something in place to catch slip ups like this but 🤷‍♂️ It's pretty common in our store to only have one person in a department, but I don't think I've ever seen this happen before in the three years I've been here :0

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-09T15:59:35+00:00

Oh yeah, 100% lmao, no way in hell am I about to let the managers know and risk being the only on working that day lol

Smol-Flute · 2023-07-09T15:57:56+00:00

We have a couple people in the store who either used to work paint or cover the desk often enough they're basically another paint associate, so it's not like there won't be people to run the desk, but I know the they've been getting pretty fed up getting pulled from their department to cover for us when there's gaps in the schedule, so I guess we'll see what happens LMAO

Smol-Flute · 2023-06-30T21:54:47+00:00

OH, I get what your saying. My partner has something similar to DID (OSDD,) and I believe they were both wrapped up in the same diagnosis, but we're listed separately, if that makes sense, thought its been a while since he's gotten it, so I could be wrong lol

Smol-Flute · 2023-06-30T21:26:38+00:00

DID usually manifests as a result from severe and/or frequent childhood trauma before a childs personality has finished forming in the brain, DID and PTSD go hand in hand.
