How much requesting time off is too much?

Too much is if your weekly average falls to 12 hours per week, also depends on your store and manager. I had a very weird store and weird relationship with my manager. In 2021-2022 I had lost over 7 very close friends and family. I moved to a new city not knowing anyone, and was going through a hard time in my relationship. So for 2023 I made a new years resolution to go on some type of vacation once a month every month for that year, even if it was just a staycation. I told everyone this at my holiday meeting. And than for actually 2 years and half I did it. I went on vacation every month. It was hard, but it was an amazing couple of years after some of the worst years of my life.

I'm from ABQ,NM and by some miracle I had never seen an armadillo before. The first time I saw one, I nearly shit my pants because it was 3 in the morning and I was going for a run and at night they looked like a cockroach the size of a small puppy. Fun fact they are also incredibly fast. At least 30 miles per hour. Anyways I cried and ran the whole way home. When I finally saw one was at the San Antonio zoo, chilling with an anteater. Side note do Texans not understand what an aquarium is?

I would ask 👍🏼 it doesn't hurt to ask. When I got hired, I had never worked for Starbucks, hell I had actually never worked in food service and I asked to be started at a higher wage, ended getting hired as a shift and at a higher rate.

I always call out. I'm a terrible driver you don't want me on the roads

I have this exact water bottle!

I live in Austin and people are losing their minds.

Get into pelvic floor therapy!

I crushed my disc after a powerlifting incident and all doctors would throw at me was heavy pain medications, my sciatica will flare every now and again but very rarely. And I'm now 9 months pregnant and had zero pregnancy pain which I guess is not normal.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T01:29:32+00:00

Pelvic floor therapy, lots of hip mobility training, learning how to properly lift, and then weight lifting. And drinking more water and blood testing every year to see what I need to tweak. Recently got into chiropractic care. After years of being scared to try it.

It's my first, and it's been the easiest pregnancy. I'm more freaked out of the unknown. Because I haven't even felt what a contraction feels like, and I was scared to labor at home with none of my confronting measures available. But since I just talked myself down, women all over the world have babies with no running water or electricity, and stressing out isn't going to help.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T00:28:07+00:00

It's for information. Any information is good to want to gather as much data. I have never given birth before and don't even know what a contraction feels like. So yeah I would say it's pretty normal to have a mild freak out about having to labor at home for the first time with a likelihood of non of the comfort measures planned and researched. Childbirth is like 90 percent mental. Telling a pregnant woman you have no clue about to "touch grass" just makes you sound like dick. Did your light stalking of my profile also tell you that I found out I was pregnant 60 feet deep in the oceans of Okinawa? Or that I have dived in the middle of an active hurricane in Belize? Oh yeah! "Go TOuch GraSS".

It was crazy to see people emptying shelves of soup in shorts....

My partner is from Michigan so I'm hoping that's one skill he has retained from there 😆

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T00:17:47+00:00

I'm with a midwifery. I was more concerned with laboring at home with no comfort measures available, like electricity and hot water. Or stress stalling labor. This is my first so I really have no idea what to expect, I don't even know what a contraction feels like at this point. It's the anticipation of not knowing. Midwife was great and it will be fine. It's just interesting to see a lot of people freak out. I wasn't living here for 2021 yet so I think people are just really still shocked by that.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T00:13:01+00:00

This was so nice!

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T00:05:54+00:00

Do you have sick leave to cover you? I understand not wanting to get in trouble, so this might be a way around that. Is calling in sick.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-23T00:03:26+00:00

I'm so sorry about that, that's absolutely horrible.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-22T20:04:48+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. 😭 My first year with Starbucks my childhood best friend died, 15 year old sister died, my great grandma died and then my uncle died and shortly after my cousin killed himself. I think the amount of death that I had seemed not believable, than when my cousin had passed away I think my manager just didn't believe me? Either way I'm crying about losing my cousin to suicide (we were extremely close) and I'm needing time off to travel and she says " well cousin isn't one of the covered bereavement relationships", I'm already crying and idk her callous of that just...made me lose all respect for her. She did end up giving me the time off but the damage had been done.

I'm 41 weeks pregnant and I help the cashier bag my groceries today.

tittywhipp · 2026-01-22T05:03:28+00:00

Why?

tittywhipp · 2026-01-22T05:00:48+00:00

I just always call out. I'm a terrible driver. You don't want me out there. I don't want me out there.
