Cherry Dr.Pepper is the best brown soda.
My work’s party is on a Monday, which at first seemed odd, but thinking about it it makes sense for a 7-day retail store to hold a party on a Monday; Mondays/Tuesdays are typically our quietest days and so the maximum number of employees are able to attend on a Monday.
I’ve been hearing a lot about how legendary my work’s Christmas parties are, so I finally asked the store manager why they’re so legendary.
Store manager: Well, there’s copious amounts of weed. And food. A lot of food. Really great stoner food.
Me: What about entertainment?
Store manager: Um... there’s weed. A ton of it. And free Ubers so no one has to drive.
those were legitimately great parties
at one of them I got trashed and talked to this guy who claimed he was a disciple of Frank Dux
Considering it'd take about two years before I have my actual exam it isn't too bad but I kinda liked not having to study! (I won't really have to start studying for at least a year minimum).
Exciting?? Scary??
Fiancee's has an open bar and no food
Mine has a cash bar and free dinner
Both have raffles but mine has AMAZING prizes
You ever been to a Christmas Party on weed?
As of last year it was unceremoniously changed to a Christmas luncheon (also I hate that word). The only good part of that being, they gave us all $125 gift cards to grocery stores, which I used to buy some really expensive alcohol.
I'd lean more toward exciting. I find that the longer I've been out of school the harder it is to get back into good study habits, so the sooner you get to it the easier it will be. This is strictly for the benefit of future-Liiya though, it might not be a ton of fun for present-Liiya.
Somehow it's the same week that three professionally-relevant talks, two teaching skills seminars, two chapter meetings, and one extremely relevant ethics talk are all happening. After about two months of bupkis going on.
of course it fucking is.
You make a very good point! Present day me wants to just sit and drink tea at my desk all day. Future me knows it's gotta be done.
I guess I got to apply for it and spend some time having anxiety over job interviews, huh? Dammit, I'm going to have to buy a second pair of shoes to go to job interviews.
In two years we’ll be hearing about Jedoc’s Bookateria of Congress.

They've just got back in touch. Apparently they couldn't find anybody with an appropriate profile and have managed to substantially increase the salary. It's still a pay cut but now I know they can be pushed harder than they thought it seems worth a conversation.
Still taking a job with a pay cut just seems abhorrent. It would be in a university though so salaries are generally fairly bad but there may be better perks
Either way, better news than I've had recently which has been a struggle to find anything that excites me
The bolded there is a lie. They don't want to pay people and no one qualified will take the job.
Penssssssionssssss?
Oh yeah absolutely. That was me being unclear
Mori if you're digesting cake right now I swear to God
Tried to ask my boss for saturday off instead and he said he was working his daughter's birthday to get Saturday covered already.
Thats parent code for shove it up my ass, right?
Why the fuck can't you just stay home? I really wish we'd separate our sick time from our vacation time because these fucks just try to save it for an additional week of vacation.
Please use your sick days
So then it’s fair to like see someone who looks sick and demand they gtfo and go home
If you have them.
Which is not a given in the US.
(To be clear: if you do, then fuck yeah, use them, you dummies. If not, then it's hard to demonize someone for trying to pay their bills so desperately while their employer has created an unsafe work environment.)
Call them from home as you are dying from the cold and tell them it's just allergies.
And then change their username to itwasjustallergies and reset their password to that and they should never ever live it down.
Kids are like ultra germ carriers. My wife was always sick once our daughter started going to other kid areas. Also when she worked with kids for a while.
My wife started as a teacher's aide at a school attached to one of the local kids-with-medical-issues hospitals a couple weeks ago. She comes home and pretty much starts a decontamination procedure, now.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
Oh yes, this is our yearly reminder:
[job] thread get your [jab]. Flu season is upon us.
The CDC is reporting that last year's flu season was so deadly/large because only 40% of eligible adults were vacinated. This was the lowest in about 7 or 8 years.
That's a fair bit of ass-covering. It was also the least effective flu vaccine of the last decade or so, providing zero immunity against what ended up being the most prevalent strain (and the year before was the second least effective, which IMO contributed to the low vaccination rate). Not that I expect perfect clairvoyance from the CDC, predicting which strains will require vaccination is fucking hard, but. Worth pointing out.
