    Lord_AsmodeusLord_Asmodeus goeticSobriquet: Here is your magical cryptic riddle-tumour: I AM A TIME MACHINERegistered User regular
    I should be finding out in the next couple of days yay or nay regarding whether I got my job or not, and signs are looking good following my interview, but I've pretty much decided I'm going to be putting in my two weeks notice this week regardless. I've been getting more and more fed up with my job, and combined with the realization I have other options this week cinched it. We have 3 big parties this week, 2 of them on regular weekdays, and I just found out on Sunday about all of them. Among them is that Thursday we'll be holding a big fundraising event, which means the specialty dinner we do Thursdays that takes the pressure off of me isn't going to happen, but more than that there's a group of 10+ people coming in for a retirement party and they'll be ordering off the menu... and I'm the only cook. And I'm expected to wash dishes for the big events. I might be getting some help from people working there, but I might not.

    This and my experience over the past couple of years have just culminated in me deciding fuck this job. I'm in the enviable position where I won't starve or lose my home if I don't have a job for a short period of time so even if this new job at the school doesn't pull through, I am done done done with this bullshit job. They can find some other schmuck to saddle this job with if they can even find someone to take it, but I am finished doing 3-4 jobs for minimum wage with damn near no communication from the owner and manager about events and organization, and almost no actual effort to find other cooks to help out. Part time or no part time.

    I was once so stressed due to teaching I lost seven kilos.

    The first time I read this, I thought you said you lost seven kids.

    I wanted to know what kind of high-risk-high-reward teaching you were doing.

    Maybe this petty but I'm kind of surprised you're giving your two weeks notice.

    Visited a practice open day visit, they won me over not with their free lunch and tea (which was very nice) nor their lovely work, but their discussion about how they are trying to eliminate the gender pay gap at their practice and get more women/people with families into flexible positions so they can still climb the career ladder.

    Be still my beating heart.

    I have taken exactly two days fully off in the last 12 years.

    I'm gonna flip a coin. Heads, you take two weeks off. Tails, you take fourteen days.

    OK it's stuck between the couch cushions so technically it's both. Take a month.

    Well I don't want to screw over my fellow employees who will have to fill in for me until they get a new cook if they don't know I'm leaving.

    The city turned off the library's water for a couple of hours last night for some kind of repair, and this is our tap water this morning.

    That's the concentrated fluoride they give public employees to make them obedient.

    Yeah, it was just air in the pipes. We've got the main and all the sinks cleared, but we're still getting reports about the toilets from the patrons. Apparently that's not the kind of situation you want to roll up on in a public restroom if you don't know the cause.

    Pretty much I think, my previous record was 1100.

    I went into a coma at around 800 -- that was when they said, "Oh hey! This isn't stomach flu anymore! This is ketoacidosis!"
    That's also why I get squicky when people say they're doing keto. Bad memories.
