I am now to the stage where I am doing the thing that Bill does in the movie where he answers the jeopardy questions before they are asked, except I am doing it with movie lines. Just telling kids I've only been showing this movie once today and then staring them right in the eye as I say whole lines seconds before they are spoken on screen.
To anyone else who's working in a bank today: Godspeed.
As someone who is bank adjacent can I ask why?
I am going to guess that all of the Federal employees finally get paid today.
Also it's the first of the month on a Friday, which I believe always makes for a very busy day.
Social security was direct deposited as well, so bank call centers are inundated with people making sure it’s in and they’re safe to spend
Also, there’s been persistent cyber attacks on all banks since like November. No breaches, but everyone’s systems are slowed down. Could be exacerbated on a high volume day like today.
Also February is the busiest month for bank customer service due to tax season.
And the weather.
It is truly a shitshow

Kid is getting really angry about the movie since I've only shown it one time. Then he asks me what Bill is going and I say, "I don't know smart guy, you're the one who says he's seen it five times today, you tell me, this is the first time I've seen it!"

I just posted to my official twitter. One kid said he was going to comment and complain about seeing it like eight times. I am encouraging him because I want to reply with flat, sarcastic denials.
I have a speaker system in my office now so I get the lovely pressure of trying to choose music that won’t offend the bosses as they walk through my office (it’s the only way to access their office).
Also if it were up to me I’d play the same songs 100 times in a row... there is a reason I only listen to music in my car or through headphones.

How do you feel about the band phish? I'd bet money your bosses like at least one of their songs
I saw the job person at the place where I get my therapy/medication stuff. It was just an introductory thing to get my details and see if I qualified for assistance due to my brain problems and stuff. We'll see.
She had her dog with her though so that was cool.

It's a really good movie, maybe he's just complaining that he only got to see it once. Oh well, shame you couldn't show it more often.

... why?
Friday is already a payday. It's the first of the month so people get their social security checks today. They also receive checks on the 3rd of every month but because the 3rd is on a Sunday, they get those checks today too.

Ok I had a horrible day yesterday as I only had 11 people and was asked to cut people's OT so it screwed me over so I did both the juice isle and my supervisor job but at the end I had to finish chips, the condiment/boxed dinner isle and paper and a few boxes of chemicals all in the span of 90 minutes
I hate being the army of one
So I took it out on them at the start of the shift but what ruined it was they called everyone to the lunch room for a meeting basically talking about the remodel we are getting many of the changes coming to the hell known to men {They are turning it into fulfilment centers and pushing online as their formats} how we are getting various drones {to the murmurs of the job apocalypse} and the changes to the attendance policy and other things
But they had the gall to tell me because of the meeting I had to basically double time it to make up for the 45 minutes they used then sent me home for 4 hours because of OT
I just came home screamed into a pillow and talked with my brother about dinner
When I worked at a gold mine the supplied toilet paper was so bad I took my own up with me. I'm not a prima donna, hell, I'm a diesel truck mechanic by trade, but having to wipe my arse with what was essentially unprinted newspaper was just a step too far.
Had a new manager come to my branch. Was told by people who worked with him previously that he had certain bathroom "routines". His routine is that he brings a squatty potty to work(and leaves it there. He's not bringing it back and forth) along with a bag of his own wipes and toilet paper. I get not wanting to wipe your ass with sandpaper and sure enough, there's a squatty potty in our men's room day one and a black bag by his desk. So I said "The squatty potty rumors are true then huh?" He said to me "Man-to-man. There's nothing like it. Full. Evacuation."
That last bit was creepy but the long and short of it is that I bought a squatty potty for my house that day.
I dunno about the squatty potty but I will say, while there were other, less desirable aspects...squat toilets in India were amazing. Best poops of my life no contest.
I’m still not super good at lining up my butt so I don’t crap directly into my pants, but sometimes there’s a support bar you can use to lean back and angle better, and, whoo boy.
What ever happened to the guy who worked at the tire plant. Was his name Koro?

Korokoro is no longer working at the lye factory.

Ohhh boy are they in for it.
That would just be weird. Who would do something like that?
It turns out tomorrow morning they are going to be checking our HVAC, fire alarms, AND we won’t have power for several hours.
I also got a cool gashapon Zaku head during my lunch break so everything is coming up Milhouse.

Of course.
It's now displayed in the entrance to my office.
Edit: Oh, and apparently that version is in chalk. There is also a watercolor by another artist.
