#I am not a flexible man

[nmpositive]

Picked up some very beat-up NIKE X Acronym Lunar Force 1s a couple weeks back, got them deep-cleaned and the worst scuffs painted out (guy said the orange was the hardest paint match he's had to do), now a serviceable pair of kicks, but no shelf queens.

Thought OK I have the kicks, the pants and the jacket - can I do a funy photo version of

Got my leg approx. one third of the way back, a massive cramp in my thigh and fell on my bed groaning and laughing.

fyi thanks for interest in pasqal axe spinny standees, i got enough people interested to warrant an order which is pretty cool. i gotta wait until friday before deciding when exactly i do this [i am potentially moving house. i should be moving house. this is the third attempt now i do not trust it will go smoothly. i dont exactly wanna start up a preorder before being certain of my address to recieve the stuff] so i'll keep you all posted on that.

i've also got a design for a pasqal charm, heinrix doing a presentation sticky notes, and considering a couple prints since [to my surprise] there was interest in that. gestures wildly im looking at getting stuff made via vograce, if you want something specific let me know i'll see what i can do !! im also considering commissions so if youre interested let me know

honest to god, my favorite thing about this job is the fact that everyone asks me to help with physical tasks. i just got called a handsome young man by an older woman after i helped her carry out her incredibly heavy crates of groceries and ive never been happier

extremely frustrating situation

[bybdolan]

might legitimately move in with my boyfriend's parents next year and honestly... doing stuff like this makes you realize that many of the reddit-esque freakouts about "weird" stuff in relationships is blown out of proportion.

i try so hard to set up 会話テーブル and none of the people from japanese club come and im like ah.... do they see me as too hardcore. do i expect too much and im just here being insane. but then i see my partner who has self-studied consistently for years and has transcended the need for such things and im like yeah no i could be way more hardcore these people just dont wanna commit

My last job was a small retail business where the staff was like family and we definitely all over-shared with one another. For the longest time, inquiries were posed like "everything okay?" and it felt like I was being looked out for and my boss and manager were people I could rely on. And with some things, I really could.

But then I saw another post basically saying the same thing. Your boss doesn't need to know the 'why'. It didn't really change much for me at first. Eventually I took on a position with more responsibilities and power that was mostly desk work, and that's really when the shift in trust began. When I took the position, I was told that if I had days I needed to work from home that was fine, so long as I still was in store more days than not. This was a privilege that I used rarely, basically whenever I had an appointment that was too far out of the way. Our payroll system only allowed us to clock in/out at the stores (restricted because boss didn't trust people((nuff said)) to not clock in from their phone when running late or something) so I would have to message him my hours if i remembered. (it didn't really matter since I was salaried.)

About a year in, the "work from home if you need" changed to, give me a heads up on the day you stay home. and soon that became you have to get it approved ahead of time. At this point, there were a lot more things causing bad blood on my end, so I would get it approved by my manager and not the main boss. Mind you, I'm only working from home maaaaybe once a month, if that, on average. But probably less. But then I had a week where a lot of things happened that it just made more sense to work from home more days than not. Got it approved with my manager and talked it out with all the employees it might affect. Boss saw it on my time card and freaked the fuck out. Now it's "all work from home must be submitted ahead of time with reason for approval". Never mind that the rest of that pay period, I was in store. Needless to say, I only stuck around as long as I did because my SO got a job offer that'd have us move (7 freaking long months later) the first week of me seriously job hunting shortly after that.

TL;DR- Don't tell your nice bosses. Don't tell your "like family" bosses. it makes it sting more when the professional work place dynamics enable, the work friend facades slip, or the performative "good guy boss" mask cracks. They don't need to know.

Hey here is your friendly reminder to not tell your nice boss stuff.

I’m at the executive management level for my very small company and I have 4 people who report directly to me. I am a nice boss. I’m friendly with my employees, I treat them like professional adults, I actively try to create a positive work environment, and I mentor them and make sure they’re advancing in their careers. I do my best to shield them from the rest of management doing stupid shit. My employees like working for me.

The other day one of my employees came to ask if she could change her hours on Mondays. I said yes immediately because it’s helpful for me to know when she’s here and when she’s not, but as long as she gets her work done I don’t care when and where she does it. She then proceeded to tell me that it was so she could attend therapy and like … I will never use this information but … as a general rule don’t fucking do that.

Do not tell your employer shit about your mental or physical health except for the bare minimum needed to request a reasonable accommodation. Even your nice boss can fire you, even your nice boss can unfairly change your working conditions, and even your nice boss at some point is probably going to face pressure from their superiors.

I’m not saying don’t trust your boss with anything ever. I’m just saying that anytime you are in the workplace you need to keep your private information private. You can still have a good relationship with your boss. Your workplace can still be pleasant. But if it ever feels like disclosing private information is required in order to have a good relationship with your boss, please see that as a red flag.
