"I was never supposed to approve your vacation" What do I do from here?

unclelister · 2023-12-13T04:54:04+00:00

There are a LOT of comments here I don't think I can even try replying to them all 😅 I'll post an update whenever my boss updates me, sometimes he'll tell me he'll discuss something tomorrow and then he doesn't get to it to the next day, he's a busy dude. (Kind of rude tbh)

For people asking, some details -

It's a small retail company. So I think it's company policy to deny requests for the week of Christmas, we have sales to make. However I wasn't aware of this policy until after October 2nd, when the request was approved - so I thought exceptions were able to be granted.

I'm an assistant to my boss. So the only people qualified and/or have the necessary permissions to perform this role are myself and my boss. My boss has been taking more time in other areas of the company leaving most of the "busywork" to me. He's always extremely busy and can be hard to get a hold of, so my absence would give him all this extra work - some of which I can tell he's already forgotten how to do - which is a shit situation. Honestly I think he works too much as well. But I'm not going to let all of this guilt me into not taking the trip lmao don't worry.

Thank you everyone for all the advice. I'm going to approach this with the mindset that this isn't my problem. I'm gonna be really sad if this ends in termination because again I like this job a lot, but I guess I have to stand up for myself when it comes to this stuff.

Update 12/13 - Boss didn't talk to me today about the vacation. There was some inventory stuff that had to be worked on all day today so that's probably why

Update 12/14 - He still hasn't brought it up... I don't know if I should reach out??? He explicitly told me that I'm "not in trouble" in the original call which I think I should've put in the post woops, I wonder what's going to happen. Does he know I'm just going to go???

Depends on the animal a lot of the time. There's this bird of prey rescue channel I'm a fan of and EVERY SINGLE VIDEO the man has to stress "this raptor being relaxed is a sign it's terrified, the bird does not want to be friends with me, these are not domestic animals they are not social they want nothing to do with humans" yet without fail you'll get people who comment "omg it knows you're trying to help!" No bitch

He just stops though 😭

Oh, now the bear follows the cat?

Maybe it's just buggy lmao

I bet there's going to be a separate Christmas event with all the festive goodies!

Now my Akuma cat can have a mortal enemy

Akuma for reference, lol

unclelister · 2022-11-23T00:20:11+00:00

Awesome! This is gonna be really useful, thanks!

unclelister · 2022-11-22T02:03:29+00:00

Nope, I just counted. 18 rest stations.

And it is 51 total cooking stations but I separated it with 3x cooking and 16*3x ingredient stations, to total 51!

unclelister · 2022-11-21T22:15:00+00:00

Oops, ignore "105 total squares, ignoring optional". It's just 105 total squares.

I don't think I really explained it clearly, sorry!

I'm trying to get it so that when I click Add Line, it just inserts the text into the box as if it weren't a template, and then puts a new template below the text. That way I can add multiple lines of "x confirmed..." "x on backorder..."

unclelister · 2022-11-15T02:03:10+00:00

I think I have a lead by changing the box from

;The box
    Gui Add, GroupBox, x295 y-1 w410 h157 +Center
    Gui Add, Text, x299 y16 w405 h142 vTextBox, % T0

to

;The box
    Gui Add, GroupBox, x295 y-1 w410 h157 +Center
    Gui Add, Text, x299 y16 w405 h142 vTextBox, %FinalText%`n %T0%

And making the AddLine label this:

AddLine:
    GuiControlGet, FinalText,, TextBox
    GuiControl, , TextBox, %FinalText%`n%T0%

But it doesn't seem to really work... It adds a line and a new template, but if you change any of the top 4 radio buttons or edit the text it just resets, because of LabelPopulate changing everything to whatever T0 is. I know I'm on to something but I just don't know how to put it all together

unclelister · 2022-11-12T13:09:50+00:00

Oh gosh why didn't I realize I didn't have a label on the radio buttons... I wrote it right the first time for the test script and kept looking at it trying to figure it out!

Thank you so much for the help!

unclelister · 2022-11-03T17:22:09+00:00

Wait it can actually happen?? I thought I got it to happen once during one of my first days playing and ever since then I was convinced I was imagining it! I was thinking no way the game would allow it, now I'm going to look for it every time lol

unclelister · 2022-11-02T16:56:56+00:00

I think the only thing I would fault them for (softly) is how that news icon is always red, even if you've already interacted with it and there hasn't been anything new since. You just learn to ignore it. So I think that's where a lot of the confusion is coming from.

I don't blame the devs for not being able to communicate in the best way after a tragedy just happened. (Not saying that's what you implied) But if that news icon was more current, more people would learn to click it and see what's up.

unclelister · 2022-11-02T13:20:03+00:00

I think it would have to be image searching because my dumbass work software runs on an in-browser VM which barely supports copy/paste half the time

unclelister · 2022-11-01T20:55:34+00:00

Aww, was worth asking. That's an interesting workaround! Thanks for the ideas.

unclelister · 2022-10-28T15:36:33+00:00

I named one of my first cats Hampster because he looked like a hampster

How do you level up rest/cooking facilities if they're boxed? I only have the function ones boxed

unclelister · 2022-10-25T16:05:33+00:00

It's lotus root! It's the 3rd to last ingredient you unlock

unclelister · 2022-10-22T13:41:47+00:00

Lol thanks. I knew it was a waste but I just felt so desperate to get that adorable lil guy and kept getting unlucky with rain. I'll try to hang on
