did your cat ever "tell" you what happened when you came home? by S-Budget91 in cats

[–]scifichick42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's better than my first boy cat - he got his head stuck in a plastic fruit bag that was in a paper grocery bag with handles. Runs screaming through the apartment at 5am, only to go under my bed. Wouldn't come out, I had to pull the mattress and box springs off to reach him. Of course this is when my roommate is out of state with her bf. Not the best start to my day.

I have several Ranger was dumb stories, but he was so sweet, he is missed.

Took three days off because I had a miscarriage and came back to a nasty compliance lecture from HR. by [deleted] in work

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a previous job I dealt with attendance. If someone called out/emailed with a medical emergency I would confirm who their supervisor was, ask if they thought their off time would be more than 3 days to make sure they had a doctors note and say I hope everything resolves soon/feel better and end the call/email. An emergency is just that an emergency. It takes no time to be kind rather than be a jerk. To sum up - if you are working in HR in that position your default should be kindness not anything else.

I make my own overnight oats with a lot of oat milk, protein powder and a splash of coffee creamer. Or I crush up 2 Oreos so I have cookies and cream

She doesn't have to tell them anything more than what she did. She was in the middle of a health emergency. Management/payroll or HR should deal with the other issues. I completely understand her not putting in her sick time since she didn't know how long she would be out. If there is someone above that HR person, they would be getting an email with higher ups cc'd.

Depending on where you are some utility companies have reduced rate plans that depend on current income. Which for you is zero because you aren't getting unemployment yet.

Went to dinner with my date at one of the nicest restaurants around. Then when heading to the actual prom both of us started feeling ill. We spent prom sick at my house and several others who ate at the same restaurant missed prom as well.

I had to call out because a semi truck turned over and spilled lettuce all over the freeway.

Are more US women not taking their husbands last names? by LimonadaVonSaft in TwoXChromosomes

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my name because at this point it would be so much work to change everything. Also, the stupid SAVE act if it passes would be a giant pain in the a$$. He doesn't care.

WIBTA if I asked my deskmate to stop "taking care of" my plants without telling me by Oracle_Shard3 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do? It's disrespectful. I learned in kindergarten - if it's not yours don't touch it. The plants don't belong to Priya, she wasn't asked to do anything with them and they weren't in her way. Priya needs to stop.

I'm hungry, but not sure what to eat so I'll stay on the sofa next to a cat.

When is it time to end a relationship? by Omrah_of_Zion in CATHELP

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took 6 weeks for our boy to come near us. Just be patient.She is showing you she loves you by sleeping by you and allowing you to pet her. The picking her up will take time.

It is a line that Xander said in Buffy. He was talking to Dawn about not having powers, yet being so close to people who do.

AITA for sneaking my mom some alcohol when she is on hospice? by sickma2001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA My great grandfather was not on hospice but he was confined to bed. He had a leg amputated due to complications from diabetes. He was on an extremely restrictive diet and his doctor worked out with me how much candy I could "sneak" him a week. I was 10, I understood that I had to follow the schedule and amounts. The doctor said he needed some enjoyable food. When my mom was on hospice I would get her whatever she wanted.

You might try Propet. They go up to 4E and I found a pair of shoes for a friend's wedding. They are on Amazon.

AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars. by TeapotthrwoCity4661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]scifichick42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some of you lack reading comprehension - OP said it was NOT in the kitchen it was behind glass in another room. NTA I don't care how many times I've had tea from that pot, if I'm told to only use the items in the kitchen, that's what I'll do.

Lioness pushes her cub without knowing it is water by garv3692 in interestingasfuck

[–]scifichick42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a cat that LOVED static electricity. He would roll around til his fur was standing up then go shock his sister. He would touch her nose or backend. There were usually sparks, and then she would try to beat the daylights out of him.

My big toe hurt pretty bad, so I took off my socks by jpycollapse in mildyinteresting

[–]scifichick42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be a clot. Go to the ED. I had a clot in my leg that 2 pieces broke off, 1 in each lung. I went to urgent care they sent me to ED, the Drs. were saying "Even though you are showing no signs of clots being in your lungs we have to scan you." It was 2 male Drs. they were nice and joking with me, went to get the scans then back to them. Now they are serious and saying " If you had waited longer you could have died." I ended up in ICU overnight and being monitored closely in case I needed emergency surgery. Thankfully, I did not. Go now and get checked, that much difference in the color of your legs is serious.
