Text from the newest kid at work: Can you start scheduling me for one weekday and one weekend day off. I really dislike having Monday then Wednesday off and working all weekend. Thank you.
No. I am not planning on guaranteeing you one weekend day off every schedule.
Why do you have a job in retail if you don't want to work weekends?

I work in retail part time. My availability says not until after 6pm and not on Saturdays. I still get scheduled at 1pm sometimes and have to work every weekend. I am close to filing a grievance.

I tried to support the site after the change. I commented on stuff but there was no interaction, just the occasional like. I continued to comment on stuff, hoping it would improve, but it didn't.

I hope the site is successful for him and it sounds like it is.
Him being a dick to Polk wasn't cool. Polk supported him when he took over. Polk had the idea to make the weekend thread a weekly hang out, which added thousands of comments to the site each week. When they first bumped heads, I chalked it up to Luke, Polk or both having a bad day. That doesn't seem to be the case. He did seem to be provoking Polk. Then after Polk told him he wouldn't be back, "someone" decides to run a Polk question, taken from the FB site, as if to say "It's all good now" or "Polk said he wouldn't be back, but here he is" It's a dick move, and once again points to him provoking Polk, rather than having a bad day.
The whole thing makes me sad.
I'm ok with it. I know my pestering him hurt his feelings. So he lashed out. I get it. He has the right to run his site as he sees fit. I have a reason to no longer support it.
What is your reason for now wearing the colonel polk outfit?v
My hair is grey, not white. I'm fat and very much hate having my photo taken. But if you buy the suit AND come here on Halloween next year, I'll wear it.

This has been a season of "fuck it, it'll do" for me. Apologies in advance to the people I inflict them on.
Patch wrote:I finished watching Jessica Jones over the weekend. It was great. Killgrave beats out Walking Dead's Governor as the most ruthless, sadistic, bad ass villain on TV. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out.

Patch wrote:Thanks Gonzo for the awesome gift. I remember you telling me about it when it came out, but I never hunted it down.
I read American Vampires and really enjoyed it. So you did great.
Thanks again.

Patch wrote:Okay Gonzo, yours is on the way. You should get it Wednesday. I had to take something out of the original packaging to get it to fit in the box, so here is your hint. Get it hot and it's not dishwasher safe.
Jack, I ran out of tape so I'm back at the house trying to find some. Either way yours will be out today.

Sweet. I'm shipping yours and Jack's today. My only concern, is that you may already have something I got you.
I'm sending Andre's item tomorrow. Yeah, I'm paying for postage to Brazil.
I'm worried my Santa has dumped me. It wouldn't be the first time. I also have inconsequential things to send to Arkay Nebsy, and Gonzo. Bunch of nothing's really. Patch not trying to leave you out, but you're kind of hard to buy for. In my mind you already have All The Cool Things.
