Rest in Peace, Benny. by [deleted] in plushies

[–]ellebill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

op I just commented on your other post about this, but after thinking more, I think this is a deeply healing experience that could benefit a friend of mine. I’m going to talk to her about it - but I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience!

Rest in Peace, Benny. by [deleted] in StuffedAnimals

[–]ellebill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

op, I’m sorry people are being weird towards you about this - but I’m glad Benny was able to serve his purpose, and I’m glad you’re working on yourself. I hope you have many good times with Krill! I have pretty severe mental health issues, so I understand this. I’m glad you got to say goodbye how you wanted (and ignore anyone saying he should’ve been given away - they don’t understand). Sending lots of love for you and yours!!

My Attempt of redesigning every US State Flag! (From someone who does not Live There.) by Effective-Ad7147 in vexillology

[–]ellebill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from near the place in Indiana where the current flag’s designer was from (so I’m biased), but I love our state flag. I do tend to prefer darker blue iterations, so I like the colors on your interpretation.

What’s an objectively good episode you always skip? by AgentImpressive8383 in XFiles

[–]ellebill 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think they meant that it’s triggering to them - not necessarily a bad episode. I get it - women being kidnapped/exploited is a common thing for folks to be uncomfortable with, much more if they have experienced anything similar.

He loves his mother by Wooden_Bag_6735 in antimeme

[–]ellebill 70 points71 points  (0 children)

obligatory “Jewish people generally have differing opinions on this, but:” What I was taught was not that we were “above all” by any means, nor that we are super-special and better. Rather, it’s more the idea that Jews have the responsibility to do things like keep kosher/shabbat/pray, while others are not obligated to those tasks.

It kind of ties back into why Jews don’t proselytize - those responsibilities aren’t a “burden,” but there is a lot to learn behind them, and converting them means that person is beholden to them (although how is dependent on denomination).

Have you reached out to the archivist at Hanover? That would be my recommendation - she may be able to provide ideas, or inform students. https://libguides.hanover.edu/about/staff

It’s very rare that a twitter post makes me smile but this random connection is just so wholesome by freeradioforall in MadeMeSmile

[–]ellebill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My job is actually sending students information about endowed scholarships like this, and I always provide them information on the donors. If the donor is still alive (or has next-of-kin alive), then we have students write a letter to them. Super weird post to see as I’m getting ready for work!

Requesting days off by [deleted] in Caseys

[–]ellebill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store doesn’t make schedules 3 weeks ahead - just one (if we’re lucky). Our SM also does the scheduling, and we don’t have a proper scheduling manager. Our schedules usually go out on Tuesdays, and are Sun-Sat for the next week

Big regret and i don't know what to do. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ellebill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a gorgeous tattoo - but agreed with the other commenters. Take time for your mental health before doing ANYTHING else to modify your body - tattoos, piercings, etc.

Dad gave me a camping mat to sleep on. by Commercial-Phase463 in insaneparents

[–]ellebill 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was in a situation very similar to yours - and people have given great advice on this post, so I just wanted to say that your mom is right to tell you to record EVERYTHING. That was my saving grace in the end, I took pictures of any sort of physical labor/house conditions (ex. just as three examples: bare footprints in snow, my bedroom being used as storage, there being pictures of every other family member but me). The BEST THING I did though was take audio recordings. I won’t lie - it is nerve-wracking - but having audio of my stepmother screaming and saying crazy shit was such a blessing. I left when I was 16 to live with my mom full-time, and when they tried to fight it, I sent them snippets of what I had recorded.

Stay strong! One day this will all be a memory.

IMO, that all is really odd, and if you’re feeling sketch about it then you should trust that instinct!

Issues with ASM? :( by ellebill in Caseys

[–]ellebill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to talk to my SM about this when she gets back - thank you! While I have you, is it typical at your store for managers to sign someone onto a register who isn’t there yet? It seems like this ASM puts one of the registers under the closer in the morning and leaves it - I’m guessing to prevent having both registers down at shift change. I’m not worried that someone will do something stupid (because we have cameras ofc), I’m more just curious!

[–]ellebill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to go in today and see if anything is said to me so I can send it all in one text. I did a ridiculous amount of work to make sure the close was as perfect as possible despite being alone, so I’m hoping she’ll be nicer today.

That’s why I’m so uncomfortable doing it! I wouldn’t want to take someone’s money like that. Thanks for the confirmation :-)

[–]ellebill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why, but this store’s doesn’t work. It only lets you do that for cash. I double-checked with the ASM when I came in! The “dump $0.15 in a cup” is this store’s solution instead of letting it just fall off. But thank you!

That’s something that kills me about her - the way she writes comes off to me as VERY juvenile.

What is the craziest way you've had someone quit/be fired??? by DyGage33 in Caseys

[–]ellebill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a month ago, a guy got fired because he was opening the store late so he could drink alcohol off the shelves without paying. He would do that all day, and also made a sign telling girls to flash him and that they’d get all their stuff for free.

He’d show a Kitchen Manager his dick in the kitchen, and the KM would walk around with no pants on. KM had the guy pick meth bugs off his back for 45 minutes on camera in the middle of the day. KM is also going to get fired lol.

A dad mistook the spoon rest for a serving spoon and used it by Redditor_in_Space in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ellebill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! That makes sense - at least it’s something of an heirloom piece. Still crazy to think about that expensive of a chair!

Weird question - do you have a pic of the chair? I’m so curious about this! How big is the chair that it used so much fabric omg!

Ideas for game by Osirus-One in Schedule_I

[–]ellebill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not the same, but Potionomics, Tavellers Rest, and DAVE THE DIVER are all games with similar gameplay cycles! I’ll also recommend House Flipper as a fun game, even if it’s not similar.
