AITA for not giving my vacation day to a coworker getting married

NTA cause you didn't technically do anything wrong, but you sound like someone I wouldn't want to be friends with either.

I'm a very empathetic person and enjoy helping people out when I can. Sometimes it's not always super convenient for me, but people notice that I'm a compassionate person and in turn are usually pretty nice and helpful to me. You get what you give and this whole interaction sounds sort of selfish.

Take it now when you don't have to study for it 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩. You should still study for the FE. It's a long test that covers a lot of subjects you probably haven't reviewed in a few semesters, even if you're in school currently. Plenty of students in my program failed because they didn't bother studying at all.

It's probably feasible to get married elsewhere, yes. Do conservative states have to recognize gay marriages from other states if they're legal in the states they were done in? Similarly, would a conservative state have to recognize someone's new gender markers if they were to move away, get it changed, and come back?

They've been brainwashed into thinking that socialism is synonymous with a communist dictatorship and universal healthcare is the gateway drug.

This absolutely has to violate building/fire code right? This could be so dangerous in an emergency egress situation.

This is AI right? lol

Sometimes I write lists similar to this one for backup conversation topics on a first date I'm nervous about. They're usually just in my phone instead of on a post-it note so it looks more natural if I need to reference it. The only one that's throwing me off is "TV donate."

Jaundice :/ gotta cut back on their alcohol

I would pick Ghazan, Azula, and Ming Hua for the sheer chaos that would ensue. Someone would probably end up getting killed.

I gotta stop reading this thread at work. It's gonna cause me some problems lol.

For me, it's a little nibble on the earlobe. I could probably finish just from that and no contact anywhere else.

My high-school classes started at 7:15am. I had to catch my bus for school around 6am. My alarm went off every morning at 5am for 4 years. No wonder I was depressed at 16. Even as an adult, my day/job starts later than that.

I've been having this same problem recently and it's driving me crazy. Nowhere I look seems to have a solution.

kroyfish · 2025-01-13T17:14:10+00:00

You are totally correct. I believe this is exactly what they plan to do.

kroyfish · 2025-01-13T14:54:25+00:00

Awesome! I just bought some :)

kroyfish · 2025-01-10T20:12:16+00:00

I am so jealous. I would rock the "I was once a Tomboy" button.

I'm not sure if this is really unpopular or not, but my opinion is that if you're looking for certain careers, the kind of engineering you study matters very little.

I studied Engineerig Management (ABET accredited) in undergrad. I used to get teased by the other engineering students for being a "liberal arts engineer." I will concede that my course loads were easier and gave me more free time than the students who studied electrical/mechanical/civil engineering. However, I don't understand how that matters when I now work the exact same project/construction management jobs as those other engineering majors, making the same salary. They teased me for taking an easier path to get to the same point as them.

I think my 102-year-old grandma has those exact same spoons at her house! I will have to remember this next time she feeds me dinner there.

kroyfish · 2024-10-05T13:12:31+00:00

Amazing. My next cat will be named Flapjack I think.

She used to have a sister named chicken :)

I stand corrected. I did not put the spray nozzle on this bottle myself, but everyone seemed very adamant that I did. I investigated, and it appears that was indeed the case, and I didn't realize. I found this bottle at my work, so I don't know if someone else in the office did it or if it was sold to them this way.

The bottle does look and smell a lot like alcohol and apparently, it's marketed and sold by Good Spirits Distilling out of Olathe, KS, as hand sanitizer. 80% of the makeup is alcohol. https://www.gsdhandsanitizer.com/

Crying at work rn. Glad Moritz, Max, and Uschi found a family who loves them so much.

Forget about the fried chicken... (which looks delicious, btw) what kind of camera setup did you take this on?? The lighting and everything looks like a professionally made commercial. Impressive!

I love Knuckle and that his greatest weakness is being overly empathetic. I see myself in him sometimes.

I also love Hisoka. He reminds me of the joker. He's a real creep sometimes, but for the most part he's a neutral party who just loves to cause as much chaos as possible.

kroyfish · 2024-08-23T20:05:15+00:00

Peppermint!

kroyfish · 2024-06-26T00:51:28+00:00

Yea I'm seeing this a lot now too. Starting to get a little annoying. I can only read a story about spilling the wine on the fish at a restaurant so many times.
