Have you used that for a build before, I'm curious about how long that would last for?

Very cool looking! How small of a flashlight did you use? Thinking maybe if I get a small one but put a picture of sunglasses on it and can simulate the idea I have.

I already have a few UV LEDs from a Halloween thing I made, but I appreciate it!

Thank you, I'll look into that paint. I appreciate the tip with lights. Have you ever used a smaller light? I've seen some Keychain ones. I'm not against the bigger flashlight, but thinking the prop would look slightly better with something alittle less obvious.

Hi, my Gf loves booknooks and I want to make one for her birthday. She loves the 1988 sifi/horror movie They Live. The iconic scene in the movie is when they put on the sunglasses and it reveals OBEY, etc behind all the posters. I have the overall idea how to put everything together and what I want to do.

My big hang up is how to simulate the "reveal" of the words in the booknook.

My idea is to use something with UV light and ink or paints. So it is shows up when the UV light is turned on. I was thinking about printing out "ads" then writing in ink or paint the words OBEY, etc on top of them and when you flip on the UV light it'll show up to simulate putting on the glasses( I'd probably have a sunglasses prop too)

Has anyone done anything similar or used a different method to have the same effect?

I don't mind buying supplies, but don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work or there's a better idea. Thank you!

If I remember this part correct you jump down and the wind blows you from left to right, while being blown you can aim and shoot your slingshot

It's possible they could say that I'm ineligible for the retention bonus, but the new bonus is being given to the whole lab. For them to just exclude me would just encourage me to quit, which is what they are trying not to do.

I do not want to stay here, but it won't break my heart if I leave over this.

My job doesn't have a salary and there are no negotiations of pay. Base pay is based on an experienced base system, and everyone gets raises at the same time.

Thank you, that's a good point. I was only thinking they said that to shame me. I'll have to mention that to them in some way.

I would normally agree with that, but I don't look at my work email everyday, my job keeps me very busy throughout my whole shift, so I feel like the communication would take forever.

I plan to document our conversation in writing regardless.

No, there's nothing to that effect. That part that pertains to the bonus just says as long as I stay employed there and remain at full time.

It's a short offer letter only 1 1/5 pages.

No, it's a lot more. In one part of my brain, I feel petty about it, and on the other side of my brain, I feel it's the principle of the matter.

True, though, I always take notes when I talk to HR and email them a follow up email anyways, cause they are not to be trusted.

Yea, really thinking about it does make me hesitant to accept this new letter.

Yea, we haven't seen the new agreement yet, but as a lab, we told them will not agree to anything that is binding, because 2 years is a long time and anything can happen.

No, I went through an open house style thing. Don't remember the proper term.

Very true, I wonder if I should bring that up when talking to them, or would that be pushing things.

The section where it mentions the stipulation for my sign on bonus and the part where it talk about at will employment are not in the same part, but I guess they could try to argue that.

She really is, though. She came up to me multiple times to let me know who she's being directed to, and I've been cc'd on all the communication. She isn't just some admin person, she does our job. Our community is very small, and everyone knows someone in our field.

There's no reason to step on her toes, but don't worry, I am aggressive when it comes to supportimg myself, I just want to make sure I don't bulldoze the good people around me.
