no this is good.

velour...whatever these are...NO

I actually kinda like these in a weird fashion way

I was in the black on Kitchenette, then went back to grey (which kind of annoys me so I now go there less), and doubt I’ll ever be in the black on Jezebel.

I know right?

My husband is from the Bangor area (like, one town away) and says yeah, he’s never met Stephen King but everyone knows where he lives and there’s a local understanding to just be cool, leave Steve alone, he’s just a regular Bangor guy. So if you see him out and about and get all “OHMIGOD STEPHEN KING” everyone…

I live in Taiwan and across the street from me is a 7-11. There is another one down the street, a bit farther of a walk but no need to cross. If I walk left to the end of the lane and turn left there’s another one about a 3-minute walk away, and if I walk right to the end of the lane in the other direction and turn…

Well, I do want to be remembered. But not as the person who came in earlier and stayed later than anyone else. I want to be remembered as the one who got her work done well and efficiently. To excellent standards but in less time. I want to be out of the office early - and maybe even in a bit late - because I’m…

“Oh yeah, I remember him, that dude was in before everyone and left after everyone, every single day.”

This is the attitude that office culture demands where I now live (Taiwan) and it’s a mess - it’s led to several actual deaths from overwork (“don’t work yourself to death” isn’t a joke here, it’s a legitimate…

If your boss regularly notices that you’re 10 minutes late, that’s one thing. I agree with you there. If your boss regularly notices that you’re 2 minutes late, your boss is not a very effective manager because s/he is clearly not focusing on really important things.

For me, at my old job, the bus that was supposed to…

1.) I still don’t think 2 minutes counts as “late”

“ and always arrive early/stay late.”

Unless you are paid for that time, or we’re talking like 5 mins on either end, that’s wage theft.

I’m just not sure I agree that 2 minutes off can ever really count as “late”. Clocks are regularly off by that much - your watch (because phones generally aren’t wrong), or their clock - could be wrong. I don’t think it’s disrespectful to be 2 minutes late. Even regularly. 5 minutes is starting to push it maybe but 2?

...and how probable is it that maybe he might not’ve gotten that work done? Because oh no, IT repairs never ever eeeever take longer than the tech says they will, NOT EVER NO SIR.

I really don’t think being 2 minutes late means someone’s a “wack-job”. Remind me not to work for anyone who thinks differently.

2 or 3 minutes late isn’t “several minutes late” - it’s something that could happen due to, I dunno, a bus driver that hit a badly-timed stoplight or your phone’s time not being in sync with the company’s clock. I’m a corporate trainer, and I can’t tell you how many times my phone (which is always correct) is several…

They have to do it on their own time to start teaching. Once teaching, if you are told - not asked, but told - to move to a grade/subject for which you are not certified the school ought to pay. They’re moving you without your consent to an area you are *not* certified to teach, ergo, they have to make sure you are…

They should have paid her until the mess was sorted out, figured out a way to get her teaching something she was certified to teach, and offered to pay for the certification if they really wanted her in 5th grade.

Duh. I mean...seriously duh. It was their mistake, they get to find a way to fix it.

Why on earth did she have to be convinced to take early retirement? Why not just...duh....move her back to the grade she was great at teaching?
