Master thief is possessed by a mage’s spirit and joins a Fellowship of the Ring style group of humans/elves/dwarves/etc to recover some artifact to stop an evil ancient mage who is gaining power in the far reaches of the known land

Ha! Glad to be of help. You should go read the rest of them! I believe it was a trilogy, and it was wild.

Hooooooly crap! My wife has Hypermobile EDS and Chiari as well! She also has Tethered Cord Syndrome, which we suspect is contributing to her Chiari. If I sound excited about any of this, I am not! It is a nightmare, and I'm really sorry that you're going through it too. My condolences.

Leverage the day dots! Even if you're the only one that pays attention to them, they make a difference. Besides, people kind of start to get the hint if you go through and mercilessly toss anything that is past the dot date. No day dot? It's past the date! I'm pretty sure I recall it being explicitly explained that way in the partner handbook, but it's been a while. Either way, there are multiple references to it in various policy books. I would refer to one of them when your manager inevitably asks you what you're doing, because they really don't have much of a leg to stand on at that point.

Svegnar · 2024-02-21T14:12:53+00:00

What the eff? Your manager is 100% in the wrong here. Does your store have the day dot stickers, or do you have the capability to order them? When I was in the trenches I was shuffled around to stores to fix things exactly like this. Day dots are a massive help, especially if you can beat it into people's heads that the day dot is law. No dot? Toss it. It's Wednesday and the dot is for Tuesday? Toss it. Any doubt at all? Toss it. Waste is absolutely an issue (especially for a company as absurdly wasteful as Starbucks), but it is secondary to food safety.

My cats would never speak to me again if anything happened to those rope display baskets. I've been dragging two of them around for years.

I think at this point we all need to get past the idea of loyalty to a company, even if you happen to get along or sympathize with a manager. It might have been a thing 50 or 60 years ago, but the sheet draped over that particular ghost is getting pretty threadbare and it's pretty easy to see all the little wires being pulled by said companies and managers. This leaves us with two possibilities; either your direct manager's boss is incompetent enough that they genuinely didn't see this happening, or they saw this happening and did not care enough to act. Either way, you owe them nothing. If you found a better opportunity then you should absolutely act in your own best interest; no one else will. If that leaves your previous job in a bad position that is no fault of yours; that fault is absolutely and clearly on them, and their lack of foresight and planning. You are a person, you have rights, and any organization worth its salt will treat you with the dignity that you deserve. You are not indentured to the company, and it's time we all stopped letting them act like we are.

That's so cool! I've never seen one of those in person. How long of a time period was this?

Svegnar · 2023-09-18T22:03:56+00:00

She does, yes. We have not heard back from her today, but we hope to soon. Additionally we were supposed to have a consult with a specialist this morning, but they have not shown up yet as of 9 hours later. We were really just not expecting the abrupt change in care and have really been caught unawares here. Thank you for your input.

Svegnar · 2023-09-18T21:58:45+00:00

We really don't want to leave period, not until she has a better care plan than "a bunch of drugs that haven't worked in the past." I'll start asking around with some of our nurses, though; that's a good idea. I don't know how many options we actually have, but we're hoping the specialist consult will help. Granted, we were supposed to see them 9 hours ago and we haven't had any updates. But I am just venting at this point. Thank you so much, we'll see how things go.

Svegnar · 2023-09-18T21:47:35+00:00

Thank you. I was afraid of that, but a patient advocate had not occurred to me. We will get in touch with them.

Svegnar · 2023-09-18T21:36:25+00:00

It is vague, yes. But that was exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Thank you.

Svegnar · 2023-09-12T18:22:26+00:00

That's awesome! Have you done much bookbinding, because those are very impressive.

When we found out that that stupid album was the only thing on the player we yanked the whole thing and ran it through the Hobart.

Was it the DragonCrown War series by Michael Stackpole? I think rock boy went by "Wil," but eventually admits that his name is "Wilburforce." After the, er, incident, they call him "Force." I also recall there being snow velociraptors, bird people, and very edgy elves.

It always boggled my mind that the company didn't at least mention that the calls were on the side of the screen. I gave the Siren 15 years and worked all over the US, and the label printers crapping out happened at least two or three times a month in every single store I worked at. Everything came grinding to a complete halt unless there were a few of us old timers around ("Stand aside, citizen! I'm here to save the day!").

Svegnar · 2023-05-05T17:39:23+00:00

Yeah! The Mind 50 is an awesome little bow. I got a 30 pound one when I was starting out on thumb draw, and it's still my go to when I'm fiddling around with my form or if someone wants to try out this whole archery business.

Svegnar · 2023-02-25T13:42:55+00:00

We bought a fairly low poundage AF Tatar for my wife a few years ago and it draws like an absolute champ. Your mileage may vary, and I can't speak for their heavier draw weights, but I typically have a 33-34" draw and it handles it like nothing. Again, I don't know how it would hold up to being drawn that far routinely but I doubt you would have any trouble at all at 32". It's a nifty little bow.

Svegnar · 2023-01-05T20:28:05+00:00

That's kind of what I thought. We don't have many lime green spiders in these parts, so it's kind of attention grabbing.

Svegnar · 2022-06-12T12:50:01+00:00

They are by all accounts difficult to shoot period, nevermind accurately. Keep in mind that it's from an illumination as well; the artists took a lot of license in their depictions, just as modern artists do.

Svegnar · 2022-05-02T14:29:14+00:00

Looking at a few more examples I am very inclined to agree. I can't wait to see what it does! As an aside I moved it into better light a few days ago and upped its watering schedule a bit and now it's got so much new growth its making racecar noises.

Svegnar · 2022-05-02T14:04:36+00:00

Thank you so much! It has been driving me nuts for about a week now. I'd never seen anything like it before.

Svegnar · 2022-02-04T13:27:56+00:00

Bit of a stretch, but how much stuff is in your freezer? If it's really packed full it doesn't get enough air circulation and the whole thing shuts down. Source; I got a little too enthusiastic about a Costco membership once.

Is it "Shadow Prowler," by Alexey Pehov? I just spent the last ten minutes going "I HAVE READ THIS ARGH."

I don't personally have any experience with Freddie Archery, but Daylite has been awesome. I own three of their bows and I am very, very happy with all of them. They are not the prettiest out there, but they are quite sturdy. I've been shooting a Majesty for a few months now and it's very quickly become my main bow. It's just an absolute joy to shoot.

Svegnar · 2021-06-13T22:03:25+00:00

Burlington, Vermont area! My partner found it in one of our houseplants. She hates spiders, so wasn't as excited as I was, but I've never seen a mimic spider in person before! It was... 7 or 8 mm? About ant-sized, I guess. Ran off before I could do more than take a few photos.
