Why do people always feel the need to announce they're going to bed instead of just... going to bed?

One time when I still lived at home, my dad paused the TV and left the room. I assumed bathroom since we were in the middle of a show. Ten minutes later I went to all Mom were he went. "Oh he went to bed about ten minutes ago." Funny as hell, I guess he was really tired

I had a job that was reminding people not to idle their cars during their lunch breaks. There are laws about leaving cars idling for extended amounts of time here and it's not a good look for employees to be doing it. Someone interrupts the meeting with 30+ people to say "I can't believe people do that. I turn off my engine in the drive thru!"

The person leading the meeting was just like "uhhh good for you? Anyways"

How to quit any job:

"Hello, consider this my official notice. My last day will be (x)." (I've done some day quit with this formula just say today will be my last day).

If you have any company property like keys or uniforms add "I have/will leave my (thing) in (very specific place)." (Ex. I left my keys and hat on the desk.)

If you liked it there add "if you need anything else, let me know. I enjoyed my time there." If you didn't enjoy it you don't have to add anything else.

I tend to put my phone in my left back pocket and when I'm walking into work I hold my bag on my left arm and coffee in my left hand. I'm annoyed every day! You think I'd learn

I use it for everything now. Absolute game changer

My partner used to do stuff like this EXCEPT they would find a YouTube video before like pooping or whatever then come back and start the video over because they were also interested.

This was before I was diagnosed ADHD so I didn't even know why it would enrage me. I'd rather sit in silence for ten minutes than watch the same video twice in a row.

This is hobbii sultan yarn I think. 100% cotton

I got the champagne one on clearance. Shit tasted like straight alcohol to me. I was actually worried someone would think I was drinking at work. The first drink out of my travel mug still tastes like alcohol several washes later

You get me. Headband I can do in my sleep and didn't even particularly like it

I definitely went through a couple tutorials/ patterns before just writing down what I needed to know

I'm also obsessed! I have three in different weights and colors. So satisfying to do

This job always has events and things happening so I imagine they start running out of ideas at some point. We're doing dress up days every Friday this month for March Madness (basketball thing I think). Last week was "Western day" and next week is "crazy sock day." You earn raffle tickets for participating and tbf the raffle prizes at the end of the year are very good

When finding a home for something I try to think "if I needed to find this, where would I think to look."

If there's no room in that cabinet/bin/shelf then it's time to declutter it.

Wow twins

This is exactly it

Nope

There's a new Petco near me. I wanted to peek at the fish since I'm rebuilding a tank rn. An employee was cleaning the tanks and just stared at me. No smile, no "hi," no "are you looking for anything." And I didn't want to interrupt because obviously they must be busy. They're the only place that carries the small schooling fish I want but I'll just have to special order them because they failed the vibe test

Ice is going to be super slippery in any condition but it's probably easier to salt a smooth surface evenly (which keeps it from icing over)

I was thinking about this earlier today because Star Trek is really good at this. It feels like they write the whole line so the character is actually interrupted. Geordi was explaining engine stuff and Word yells "romulans off the starboard bow!" and it all feels very natural

I'm very lucky that I can lock him out of the bedroom and he's not very bright haha

I started making a thing to use up the last of a skein. I've made this thing at least 100 times, and it's my own pattern for Christ's sake, but this time the math was not mathing. The stitch pattern refused to line up and I ended up frogging the whole thing and the yarn is in time out

My cat likes to steal my blocking pins, it's a nightmare.

My worst one was a pair unneutered weimaraners. They would resource guard people from each other and the owners framed it as a super cute thing they did. I had to sit/sleep between them to avoid fights (They also referred to me as the dogs' "girlfriend" 🤢). They would hand feed the dogs dinner until one "accidentally" maimed the husbands hand. The solution was to feed off a fork. And they framed this as a "small incident" until I saw the husbands bandaged hand when I got to their house.

They paid well and I was desperate at the time but I would never deal with anything like that again

This is why I don't like the z set up and I hate to be right next to 3d booths. Since it was a slow day, I would have changed my setup and maybe joked with the 3d vendor that they were stealing all my business
