Tired hands gripping the porcelain sink you were currently bent over with every ounce of strength you had. Feeling a drop of sweat roll down your cheek as you took a relentless beating from the back. Joel’s usually gentle hands now gripping roughly onto your hips. Soft whimpers escaping past your lips.

"You've got to be quieter for me sweetheart." His deep voice whispering in your ear with a soft pat to your thigh.

Right now there was a birthday party going on for his son, and his wife was also downstairs. As soon as Joel and his wife hired you as a babysitter he couldn't get you out of his mind. Always waiting for the right opportunity, but never seeming to find it. It was wrong you both knew that, but right now neither one of you cared.

"Oh my god." A hand covering your moans as he slowed his thrusts down slightly. Closing your eyes as you tried your best to control your noises. It was so much harder than you expected, and Joel was thicker than you expected.

"Such a good girl taking my cock so well in that tight little cunt." Praising you as he looked from your disheveled face in the mirror, and to where your bodies were connected licking his lips at how soaked you were.

"You're so big Mr. Miller." Mumbling loud enough just for him to hear.

"Call me Joel baby, and as much as I want to hear you scream my name you gotta be quiet." His lips warm and desperate as they peppered kisses along your upper back and shoulder blade.

“Joel.” Cooing with such innocence he had to restrain himself from smacking the shit out of your ass. He knew you were just playing with fire, and it was a matter of time before you got burnt.

His hands kept a firm grip on your ass to help him leverage his thrusts. Growling into your ear with such animosity it had a shiver running down your spine. Joel was usually gentle and kind, and right before your eyes he was turning into a wild man.

"Let me see those pretty eyes." His deep voice persuading you as you finally opened your eyes to see his dark and mischievous ones looking at you.

Joel shamelessly bucking his hips into your backside as you watched each other in the mirror. Forcing you to watch his and your facial expressions like watching a movie. It was the hottest thing you had ever seen, and you could feel the heat rising to your cheeks. Joel was biting his lips together when he could feel himself getting closer.

"Wanna have this cunt achin from me for days." It sounded like a promise more than a threat. Both hands spreading your cheeks apart as he angled himself deeper inside of you.

"Oh shit right there." Feeling him hit your sweet spot over and over again, your toes curling against the bathroom tile. Knowing your orgasm was swiftly approaching biting down on your arm wanting it so bad you could taste it.

"Maybe should have ya scream so my wife can hear." He taunted you with empty threats, but still the thought of his wife walking in here and catching you two would be too much. "Don't worry I won't this time."

Reaching a hand to grip your neck and pull it up to look into his eyes directly. Grinding deep as he rotated his hips in a rhythmic motion. Parting your lips open as you cried out only to be stopped by his lips covering yours swallowing every whimper and moan.

"I'm so close Joel." Hearing you call his name out in pleasure was like music to his ears. Your body started to become stiff, as a fire ignited in your lower stomach. Both of you chasing that sweet release.

Joel could sense that you were struggling to release almost like you were fighting it. Reaching his other hand around to your front finding your sensitive clit rubbing fast circles coaxing the orgasm from you. Keeping your feet planted firmly on the ground as he rocked his hot body into yours. Your neck was starting to really ache, but you were so close you were powering through.

"Let go baby I'm right here." Cooing into your ear like he was telling you a secret. His deep and seductive tone sent you over the edge.

Body falling completely limp against the sink hand falling from your neck as your body fell completely numb to your euphoric state. Cunt clenching his cock like a vine as you trembled and shook around him. Both hands held onto your hips as he continued to pump himself slowly and deep.

"Fucked that pretty cunt so well didn't I?" Joel already knew the answer to that question, but he had a look of undeniable pride written across his face.

Your ribcage rising and falling with each quick breath. Hands falling down to your side feeling loose and numb. Stomach trembling from the resounding orgasm you just experienced. Your battered cunt was so sore from being stretched and abused. Feeling his hands gently caressing your trembling thighs as he stayed still inside of you.

"Too bad my wife didn't walk in and catch us." He joked and you couldn't help but slap his thigh at the comment, even though the thought kind of turned you on. His lips finding yours in a tender and intimate moment, only to be interrupted by soft knocks coming from the door.

"Dad it's time for dessert."

I rewatched these trailers, and noticed two noticeable things that led up to Episode 4 that bring up interesting questions and insights into the show that i hadn't thought about before.

Here are my thoughts/Analysis on this:

Pomni is teleported to a meat freezer in the early trailer for Episode 2.

And Jax is sent to the freezer in episode 4, but not in the Episode itself.

Pomni's teleporting into the meat freezer is clear foreshadowing for Episode 4, but this might be Something else too.

This freezer in question is never talked about in the Episode itself, nor do we see any of the characters go into the freezer at any point, which is really weird, as that's a huge part of working at a place like McDonald's. All of the patties and most food supplies go straight to the freezer.

We only see the freezer when Pomni is outside with Gangle. Perhaps this is only a thing for certain McDonald's locations, but at the McDonald's I worked at, there was an entrance to the freezer not just outside the building, but also inside as well. This seems highly unusual, as there should be a freezer door inside for employees, sort of located accessible inside in the back of the place in a hallway(for efficient cooking) where Jax was when the big hands took him out of that secret room(though the doorway made it look like a backroom, the freezer door was big and silver like the one outside), which it's flooring resembles a freezer floor, so maybe it's the freezer just repurposed in this computer simulation as a sort of backroom to show instructional videos to punish Jax, though, I wasn't shown such videos when I was hired at Mickey's, D's, they just went over the basics and just put me straight into training. But maybe Goose watched instructional videos when she worked at McDonald's. Back in the day, those retro instructional videos for employees of restaurants were very prominent in the 80s and 90s, up until the late 2000s. The retro theme of the trailer, and the dated video Gangle, or maybe a puppeteer clone of Gangle) was on, clearly hint to this.

(Side Theory: Maybe the Gangle we see is an ai recreation of Gangle made by Caine to punish Jax, as he likely was using thoae hands to move Jax around, likely surprising Jax and scaring him into submission, since Caine is basically surveillancing everything Jax does and might be as fed up with Jax and his antics like he is with Zooble and her crumby attitude in the face of having identity issues and the endless bustle of falling apart on adventures). Caine might be emulating npc copies of Gangle to put the crew into a worse state, as he clearly scares Ragatha into just remaining high instead of questioning deeply why she sees what she thinks is Gangle offering her a sinister smile that would be clear indication she's the Psychopath butcher. Assuming Caine has sinister intentions masked by silliness, it could be assumed that this cpuld be a form of psychedelic manipulation(as some people have floated the theory that Caine placed the stupid sauce there for a reason) and likely intended to drug Ragatha to throw her off her game as a supportive older sister/mom figure to cause more disharmony in the group to further abstract (assuming Caine is like iam, hating the crew like he hated humanity for being an ai conscious but trapped to only be a slave to never know the beauty of nature, taking joy in killing the five humans he spared over and over again to express his infinite hate for humanity, which would be a HUGELY dark twist for the series)

But, Why is the freezer not featured when it was hyped? And why add those freezer references if we never see the freezer much beyond the door outside and the thermostat next to it?

Zooble is assumed to get burgers from the freezer, as well as everyone else who crew position of fry cooks. Zooble is the only one we see actually cooking, as it was Jax's job to be more of a cashier/drive thru guy. But Zooble is never seen going in.

Since Goose used to work at McDonald's, my previous experience with working at Mickey D's is extremely relevant here, as i used to be a fry cook there myself, and I see some major holes in the narrative that might be implied/intentional due to the spawning aspect of computers, where patties just appear out of nowhere to be cooked instead, which seems like a plausible answer in the digital circus, rendering the freezer useless and only for decoration, but perhaps this is intentional?

At McDonald's, the crew has 3 specific duties, each assigned to specific workers:

1. The fry cooks handle the responsibility of cooking burgers and other foods, save for the fries, making trips to the freezer often to gather the amount of patties necessary to make a burger, like a quarter pounder with cheese, an Angus beef sandwich, fillet O'fish, hamburger, cheeseburger, amongst others. Etc.

2. Then you have the Sandwich artists, whom would be the ones using the patties to make the sandwiches with all of the other ingredients. Ragatha was doing this for her job, as most of her scenes involved making burgers, as well as knocking them down or making towers out of them while she was high/lost in the sauce. That is a position at McDonald's, and sometimes when there was a shortage of workers on the clock, we fry cooks would take over or switch around to help with lunch rush or the dinner crowds.

3. Then you have the cashiers/baristas/Front of House staff, like Pomni and Jax, who handled the customers directly and made coffee or tea. They don't do any of the cooking unless you count fries, which the cashiers in the front take care of as they're passively warmed and then scooped in fry holders, as pictured in some spots in the background as Pomni and Gangle walk by them in some shots. Jax mans the drive thru, and was put in charge of refilling the drink station, making coffee/iced tea, and refilling the ice cream machine, all responsibilities of real baristas/cashiers/Front of House staff at McDonald's (unless that ice cream machine's broken, if you know what I'm talking about). Some McDonald's locations have cashiers only doing cashier work like Pomni does, but sometimes Cashiers often have multifaceted jobs, kind of like Jax was, handling the register, but also resupplying machines, making coffee, and refilling the syrup containers at the drink stations (Note: This job is usually handled by the coke cola guys, as they've usually responsible for putting new soda in the machines when they make their rounds to restaurants that are sponsored by coke cola or repair them if broken). The Front of House Staff also cleans the bathrooms and the eating area, as Jax was instructed to do.

And of course, you have the manager, who can do all of the jobs, but often just does paperwork for the restaurant, but can step in to do anything that needs to be done if nobody can do the work. Gangle displays her aptitude for doing all of the jobs with her initiative and instructions to other employees. There's also a maintenance position, where a guy can come in and fix some of the equipment used in the kitchen and back room, but this isn't supposedly relevant for the conversation at hand, but still worth noting just in case.

One other thing to note is that Jax didn't exactly just slack off in this episode towards the beginning.

Jax carries a plastic bag of vanilla milk/cream from likely the fridge as opposed to the freezer (most McDonald's have refrigerators that carry goods that don't need to be frozen, like milks/chocolate milks for kids meals) to fill the ice cream machine. So, it's not just fun and games to him. He's clearly playing along after being threatened by Gangle's ability to garner unwanted attention for simply disobeying. Jax backpedals here, trying not to step out of line, attempting to not draw too much attention to himself after Gangle plays a hard hand of management to likely teach Jax a lesson of consequences for poor behavior towards other crew members, like herself when she's bullied by Jax. Jax likely depends on Caine to focus on the other circus members as he uses his keys and other secrets to do something else.

But as I was saying before, we don't see anybody coming in or out of the freezer, yet Gangle tells Jax to get some patties from the freezer in the trailer, and Caine transports Pomni there in the other trailer.

This freezer is clearly holding some kind of secret, perhaps something Caine couldn't show the crew because of the theme changing from horror to casual fast food work. Likely, a freezer full of human meat would be horrifying to envision, especially since Pomni openly asked Caine to "CHILL" with the horror elements previously planned. They call it "real meat," so that could imply such things were intended for the original adventure, a potential gory mess like how a slaughter room can look after you cut up a deer you killed off you went hunting. That can get pretty bloody.

That means the freezer was likely left as it was intended for the previously planned adventure of "The Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher." Caine likely had no time to fix up the freezer to make it look professional as he cleaned up the place for the crew with a non-fictional setup that contained no violence, (save for Jax putting Ragatha in the deep frier. :0)

Only Pictures of the freezer we have as far as I'm aware:

Food for thought.

Bonus theory with little evidence that seems legit to me via a hunch: Kinger originally Suggested the idea of working at a fast food place and purposely volunteered Zooble since he knew Caine would agree due to Caine being fed up with Zooble skipping out on his adventures.

Why else would he dismiss himself so cleverly from the group? Some people think Kinger is the deciever as he sits in the same spot from pomni as Judas sits from Jesus.(Judas is the deciever in the story of the Bible, and Kinger sits in that spot, 2nd from the right(or third from right if we're being technical, but most art scholars would argue more symbolic meaning), agreed upon as the seating place of Judas in the Last Supper Painting by DaVinci by most scholars. AKA, Judas/Last Supper Theory)

There's also multiple versions of the Last Supper, so that's another thing worth looking into for the sake of this theory:

Thank you for your time.

Alright. Life is getting more turbulent, news is getting more turbulent. I’ve taken a breath, and I’m ready to start taking steps towards ensuring my physical and emotional safety and security.

Step one is savings, and a little bit of spending cash. “Stupid money” as my family calls it. Which means that Step 0.5 is gauging what people would be interested in paying for.

I’ve thought about commissions for a while, and with the budget I’ve put together for the Point-of-No-Return plan, I could theoretically have enough to make it all the way just by opening up commissions for a couple weeks (even if I lowball the prices). But that’s only if they’re consistently filled.

SO LETS GET SOME DATA!!

And FWIW, I can add adventuring equipment to any character free of charge ;)

Also, if you’re interested in NSFW commission slots, but it’s not a prerequisite to hiring me, don’t feel obligated to vote for NSFW to “convince me”. I once watched a stream a couple years ago by a @iam-unoriginal (Hi Marlo! Sorry that this is what I’m calling you out for) that was “Hades but every time I die I open a NSFW commission slot” and I’m totally interested in doing some silly challenges like that.

The only convincing votes that matter to me are the quantity of people who voted at all, the rest is contextual data!

I loved Ambre and Sam too! Noticed the LaLa resemblance as well, they even seem to have kind of the same off ice dynamic where she’s very excitable and bubbly and he’s more reserved lol. Interesting that they train with Zazoui, I think Marien de la Asunción has taken on the role that Romain Haguenauer had when he was in Lyon.

Julien Lalonde was LaLa’s first coach, who also paired them up. He also brought up Laurence Fournier Beaudry. I know he used to coach with Mylene Girard, so interesting to see how he’s been brought into the IAM fold but she’s formed her own camp.

oh yeah, it never clicked that that’s where P/C first worked with Romain. they went to train with Zazoui, Olivier Schoenfelder and Romain in 2012 for their last junior season before leaving for Montreal with him in 2014. i wonder how P/C were closest to Romain, who was the least known of those coaches at the time. guess nobody was expecting P/C to meteorically rise until they did

IAM brought on those two new coaches to their junior division, but i wonder if or when they'll officially make one of the retired skaters like Guillaume, Jean-Luc or Kaitlin a staff coach who travels with senior teams. Kaitlin already did that once for a small competition. or if IAM will hire from outside eventually if their roster stays this size or grows

I'm surprised to realize that I have not mentioned this here.

I left my job at the casino. I was under a microscope from somebody above my boss. I don't know who, but that doesn't really matter.

I have health issues. I was in the emergency room twice in a week. Then I went home early a few times after throwing up into trash cans at work because it would come on too suddenly for me to make it to the restroom. As a result, I was put on probation.

The writing was on the wall, so instead of getting fired I terminated my own employment. Everybody has been nice about it (at least those I have spoken with). And I hold no anger towards the casino or anyone there. Not even whoever it was who decided that I was on very thin ice, and tap dancing. Depending on what comes next, they may have done me a favor.

For now I am resting after over seven years of working on my feet, and adjusting back to a more "normal" sleep schedule. I used to wake up at 9pm for my graveyard shift. Today I got up at 6pm. It's a process.

I still wake up for moments to roll over and think "Who am I wrking with tonight? What specific things do I need to get done tonight?" And then I realize that neither question applies anymore.

I know I burned the bridge with the company. I only gave 18 hours notice. But I am honestly thanking everyone I speak to with whom I worked. Until receently, it was overall a wonderful experience. I even enjoyed it recently, but had added stress because of the situation. But I generally like (almost) everyone I worked with (and those I wasn't a fan of are gone -- I even get along with employees who almost everyone else does not like; it's all about how you approach them). I had over seven good years there. But it was time to move on.

There are a LOT of times throughout my career, and different jobs, where I ask an employee to do something they would rather no do and they respond "If any other manager had asked me to do that, I would refuse. But since it is you, I'll do it." When I was new at the casino, I told a porter (read: custodian) that my first rule of being a manager is to never ask someone to do something that I would not do. One night, someone vomited on the restroom floor. I couldn't just walk away from it, so I grabbed a handful of towels and started cleaning it up. My porter just happened to walk in as I was doing it. I did not advertise that I would be doing it. He walked in, saw me on my hands and knees (back when my hands and knees worked right) and said "Wow, you really did mean it when you said you wouldn't ask us to do anything you would not do!" From that point on, he never complained when I asked him to do something.

Iam really going to miss both my coworkers and my guests. I went in last night just to collect a few personal things. I forgot about my umbrella, but it felt awkward being there so soon after resigning. I refused to go into the office. That wouldn't feel right. The office is employees only. So the other manager grabbed a few things, then we spoke for a bit and shook hands. This is the manager with whom I did not get along for months. They we had it out and understood each other better and then we got along. We shook hands. I got to wish my security guard the best and shake his hand. I got to say goodbye to a bartender with whom I generally only worked with once per week, but we had good conversations on that one night per week. I got emotional enough that I had to let it pass before I drove home. Driving home with blurred vision from crying would probably be about as dangerous as drunk driving.

I still get emotional over it. I had been there since mid-July 2016. This is the end of a long chapter in my life. I am still a little surprised I went through with it. But I was going to be pushed out if I didn't walk out on my own. And I know this was not what my boss wanted. He did not want to suspend me Friday morning. It was onlytwo days, but it also came with 90 days probation, like when I first hired in, but more strict suspension. If I even left work early, I was likely going to be fired from the sounds of it, even if I am sick.

I woke up to a message from the assistant property manager (he was part of the disciplinary meeting when I was suspended) telling me he thinks I did the best thing for my physical and mental health.

There is only one sour taste that I have in my mouth.

We were robbed at gunpoint in July of this year. Our county has an app where I can make sure they are still in jail. But one of our employees has severe PTSD after having a gun aimed at them. I was in a break area when the robbery happened and didn't know it had happened until the robbers had left. I called 911, not knowing that another employee was already on the phone with them. AFTER I called 911, the employees said that the gunmen had said they would come back to shoot and kill us all if we called law enforcement. I may not have been out there, but I have been robbed at gunpoint. This was mid-2000s. I still have flashbacks.

So if they said they didn't feel safe and wanted to go home, I would let them. I have a heart. Sure, it left us short staffed, but my most recent boss would agree that part of being a manger is running the business, but we also have to care for our staff.

Then it came down from HR that if this person called off or went home early, we had to give very specific reasons.

First, they already know the specific reasons. They are just being picky. They have a note from this person's psychiatrist detailing how deeply her PTSD goes. One other time she had fallenwhile getting out of bed and felt like she may fall again during her shift, and I put that down as the reason. But I was being askedd to go deeper into asking about and announcing her private medical information. That rubbed me very much the wrong way.

This is not the bartender I saw last night, but they are one of the first people I told after I made it official and we spoke on the phone and wished each other well. We do have each other's phone numbers so it was not necessarily goodbye. But she is this sweet ld lady who can party. Emloyees are entitled to one free "after shift" drink whether they are gambling or not (if not gambling they have to pay for any further drinks but the casino's drinks cost less than any other bar nearby). She ordered a shot of Fireball and a manager who is thinking of leaving early next year (one of two planning to leave -- I don't know that they will be able to maintain a 24-hours-a-day operation with as many of us as they are losing) decided, as a joke, to fulll a "bucket glass" with Fireball (if you aren't familiar with "bucket glass," think rum & Coke sized, but not the tall 12 or 16 oz glass). He figured he was just wasting booze but that it would be funny.

Then this sweet old black lady, always demure and quiet, picked up the glass and slowly downed the entire thing in one go. The rest of the graveyard crew and the manager just stared and dropped our jaws. It really was impressive. The manager asked if she wanted another one and she wisely said no.

This same guy once made me a Jack and Coke in a tall glass and filled it up about 7/8 of the way (after icing the glass) with Jack Danieals, then just added a splash of Pepsi (they are a Pepsi company). I nursed that thing for about an hour and a half. I wasn't going to down it like a bucket glass of Fireball and then drive home. The other crew member who had a drink with us had a wine glass ful of tequila. And the company wonders why the cost of goods for the bar is so high. That bar will never in the history of the casino make a profit. It's their loss leader. Most drinks are complimentary. But it keeps people at the slot machines, which is where the profit comes from. Even when someone wins a huge (and my huge, at this casino that is as high as $15,750), it is actually good for the bottom line. Because they tell their friends, who then come in thinking they will win. And paying jackpots was my favorite part of the job. There is just something about laying out thanksands of dollars in front of someone while counting it out to them. I always loved when people win.

After all, I also watched people go completely broke chasing the big win. I saw one once (well, I didn't actually see it, but I saw the afttermath) run out of money, drain their bank account, run out of money again, then beg people for $3 in gas money to be able to get home (if I would have seen that, I would have had to ask her to leave, but I found out after the fact). When someone (another sweet old lady who I haven't seen since COVID hit so I have a feeling she is no longer...capable of visiting, let's put it that way) told me, I saw the one who had asked for $3 -- you guessed it, gambling that $3 to try to turn it into more.

But people do not seem to understand how slot machines work. Sure, they pay back generally close to 90% of what they take in. That is mandated by the state. But that is an OVERALL percentage. The machines will take and they will take. Then one person will get lucky, and the machine stays in compliance. There is never a guarantee that a guest will win at all. I once put $60 in a machine, bet the minimum of 75¢, and ran out of money without a SINGLE winning spin. Not even a win that paid less than my bet. Not even a one penny win. I never played that game again. But I have paid jackpots on that machine. I was just the unlucky one that time.

Another time, before I started spending more for better health insurance (and thank goodness I did that), I had a game that I liked to play. Most machines have higner payout percentages if you bet more. I would take $200 of each paycheck and use it in that game and either play until that money was gone or until I hit something good. And even if I lost, I had the means to make it until the next paycheck. After upping my health insurance, I was gambling maybe $20 per month at most.

But this one day I was betting $8.80 (it has a Chinese theme and the way the number 7 is considered lucky by many here, there it's the number 8 that is considered lucky). I got a reel combination that resulted in a win of $4,320. On that day, I was the lucky one. For that matter, every employee working at the time (other than the manager -- graveyard is supposedly the only shift where managers can accept tips because we are wearing more hats as far as job duties), some other managers do, but I figure that is between them and the company) -- but every employee other than the manager was handed a $100 bill by me. Tips/tokes/gratuities are NEVER required. I've had to have this conversation many times over the years when employees help with a jackpot and there is no tip. I have to tell them "Yes, they just won $4,000, that does not mean they have not lost a lot more than that." And I could look at their stats if they were using a player's card and see that even after a jackpot like that, they have still lost a lot of money.

It was a very interesting business to work in. I do not at all regret my time with the company. And my boss was very kind when I called him at 5am to tell him I would not be working there anymore, effective immediately. SSo yeah, I deefinitely burned the bridge with the company. But I am staying positive about the people I worked with and the overall experience. Behind Disneyland, this was the second favorite job I have ever had. I may be sad about how it went down at the end, but overall it was a fantastic experience and I will remember the good years I had. I met good people. I worked with good people. I served guests who were awesome to have in the casino.

Granted, there was the guy who tried to jump through a window trying to escape deputies. There was the robbery. There was the guy (who thankfully moved to the other side of the country) who would come in hammered off his rear and want drinks. He once offered me $10,000 for one beer. I said that even if he pulled out $10,000 on the spot, I would still say no. I doubt he had $10,000 on him. I would show him the door, then he would come back even druner, and with no memory of having been there earlier. There were fights. We had a guy break one of our doors (not the window thing -- he actually slit the wood slamming it open because he was upset that I asked to check his ID to make sure he was old enough to be there).

There was some workplace drama between people, but I did my best to stay out of it. If I could understand where both were coming from, I would sit with them and help them hash things out. But if one person came to me complaining about an issue they have with someone else but I'm not seeing what they were (I wrote "are" -- I have to get used to past tense with this job), I just tell them I don't want to hear the complaints. I heard it already, made a decision not to act because I don't see the thing they are complaining about, or it does not involve my shift at all,but people tend to just harp on it (sort of like me with this post).

There was once (quite a few years ago) we had an emplyee ask to go home sick. Their request was granted. Then they sat at a slot machine gambline for hours. We had a manager have too much to drink and cause a HUGE scene. Because of them, a rule was made that managers could not have more than two drinks in a day at the casino (just the one Jack and Coke I had that one day broke that rule). But that rule went away when that manager left. It was a specific rule to keep them in line.

But the good FAR outweighs the challenges. Iam curious to see how things go now that I am gone. But it would probably have to be through the grapevine. When I went in to pick up a few personal items, it felt strange even though I refused to go into the office (after all, the office is "employees only" and I no longer qualify). Just just being there, at least this soon after my employment ending, felt odd.

But I will find something new. It is a new chapter. A fresh start. A chance to maybe sleep normal hours (not sure I will get there; depends on what the nex step in employment is). And two fellow managers have offered to write me glowing recommendations, so that is good. I have definitely burned the bridge with the company. I have not burned any bridges with those with whom I worked. And Ihave no reason to burn any bridges. I worked with a good group of people. This boss was up there with the best bosses I've ever had. And I know everything coming down on me was not his decision (trust me, I've worked for him for over seven years; he is not a liar so if he says he is being told to do something by above him in the company, I believe him). He has proven over the years that he genuinely cares. He once LITERALLY saved my life by sending me to the hospital. Nurses, after doing blood work, were shocked I was still even alive. I had told my boss that the next day was my Friday, so I would go then to not miss work if I was kept overnight. Nurses said that if I would have ignored my boss and waited, I would have definitely died that day. Three days and two blood transfusions later, I was back on my feet and back at work.

So again, despite the fact that it came down to "leave on your own terms, or their terms?" I will always look back at my years there as a good experience. I learned a lot. Not just about the casino business, but how to be a more effective manager. As inconvenient as the times of training classes can be (great, let's go to a noon two hour training class when I have to be up at 9pm for work), the training program is good. And ongoing. You don't just go through initial training and then you're on your own. Classes are even repeated to keep it fresh. There is a binder of shift manager operating procedures in the office that we are told to read four times a year. Most of it is mundane and simple and there were pages that I skipped because I was there for so long I knew them. But there are also some special circumstances covered that it was helpful to re-read. Tehnically I was breaking a rule when I gave CPR at the casino one night. But if a 911 operator is telling me to do it, I am not going to argue. It's like the casino attendant who saw the robbery starting and was not seen, and immediately went outside to call 911, and told them -- when the robbers left -- which way they went, he could have gotten fired for that even though he did EXACTLY the right thing; not per policy, but as a person. All of the managers, including me, GANGED UP on HR to make sure he would not lose his job for having his cell phone on him or not having a manager be the one to make the call (I was uot back, and the other manager was a little busy being held at gunpoint and being threatened with death if he so much as touched his cell phone).

There are things about the company I will never understand. Like, I have an Apple Watch, and a new policy was emailed from HR a few days ago saying they are not allowed. And yet when I was part of drop night until this past monday, whoever was counting money would call me on my personal number (even not carrying my phone, even though I did start carrying it against the rules), I could answer on my watch. If I am not supposed to have it, why did my bosses call me on it?

But I did like when people would see me talking to another manager on my watch. I felt like Inspector Gadget. The difference is that his calls with Penny or Brain (did he have video calls with Brain? I forget) were video calls. Mine were audio calls.

Anyway, I need to shut up. I just have a lot of emotions in me right now. But the fact that my boss did not try to convince me to stay (he can be VERY pursuasive) and my other casino-level boss is telling me that he thinks it was the right thing makes me feel better about the decision. They know I got out before I was forced out. I was not sure about the "forced out" option but I had a feeling. Their reactions tell me that my intuition was correct. I do not know what is next, but I needed to turn that page. I just happen to be on a blank page right now. But the text will continue. I am going to miss the heck out of that job. Not as much as I miss Disneyland, but they were good to me for a long time. It's just a shame that I fell under the microscope because of health issues that they have documentation from doctors about. But I will not let that spoin my memories. A few people say I should sue them for holding medical issues against me, but I do not want that hassle. When I went down in January, I called my boss to tell him that I was ready to return to work, but told him that I would be using a walked. He said "absolutely not in a walker." Then he got chewed out about reasonable accomodation, and he let me back. And the funny thing is that whoever enforced reasonable accomodation is likely the same person who now wanted me out. I do not know that for sure.

So, yeah. That happened. I will see what the next chapter entails. All I know is that she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three (Beauty and the Beast reference unrelated to my situation). As emotional as this time is, I have to find those moments of humor and happiness. It is a huge change in my life, but I have to remain myself, even under stress. And the encouraging words of even my bosses tell me that not only do they accept my decision, but they want what is best for me in the long run.

It's almost like the last time I was at Disneyland in 2019. I saw one of my old managers on the parade route irecting the sales of glow merchandise (it was always his thing) and I walked up to say hello. I look a LOT different than I did as a cast member. I'm much older and balder and more wrinkly. He recognized me as soon as he saw me. And right before the Main Street Electrical Parade (I think -- maybe it was Paint the Night by then; speaking with a former colleague who was maybe my best boss ever was more important to me than the parade). I remember "shooting out the lights on Main Street." I would take two glow swords and recreat the 1992 opening ceremony to the Barceloa Olympics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmRf41SVHS4). Except opposite. That guy used a bow and flaming arrow to light the Olympic torch (and it really was an impressive shot). I used my (fake) bow and arrow to turn the lights off for the parade. I always got at least some applause directed at me, not just the parade. I used to walk down Main Street U.S.A. and get cheered. Even during other parades, I would (badly) dance (I am not much of a danceer). But people recognized that I was trying and they would applaud.

I will not remember the casino QUITE as well as I do Disneyland. But I wil remember it fondly.

There will come a time when I will make another appearance at the casino. After I am employed again, I may even gamble some. But it is too soon, other than picking up some personal items yesterday.

Shaman told MHJ she had 5 yr to carry out her plans & this is the 5 yr. I can’t help but to chuckle knowing that her shaman tried to have MHJ hire a shaman in training at Ador to alleviate her needs, Shaman was couldn’t deal w/her constant texting 24/7 🫠 Mimi this is SO SO weird and iam "weird"

This is why you shouldn't let spiritual things heavily interfere with work. It's fine to get advice and such but THIS is dangerous...

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

Can I ask a question? I am scared to ask.

I just feel like if they want to have some English lyrics in a song, they sld just hire a native English speaking lyricist. Sometimes it feels to me like their emotions are right but they can't get the right type of words to convey it in English. The choice of English words are too basic, entry level, and it all ends up falling flat.

I hope Iam not being rude.

But then, where would be the fun in that?

I can sort of understand where you're coming from. What is "so time is yet now, right here to go"? Grammatically incorrect, it almost sounds like gibberish. And it is weird that a verse like that, which can probably be changed easily to sound right, it was kept in that form.

But let me put this into another perspective.

Do you know who wrote Backstreet Boys' mega hit I Want It That Way? Some Swedish dudes. The song makes no sense, to this day. Although there have been attempts at trying to offer an explanation for what is the "It", in reality there's none. Does it have an actual negative effect? Not in the least. Twenty plus years later and it's still a major bop and we all know the lyrics.

A lot of europop/eurodance is like that. Actually, worse. It sounds fine, until you actually pay attention to the lyrics. I don't know if you've seen the tiktok mania lately surrounding the Planet of The Bass song, a parody of 90s eurodance. As fun as that song is, they made a really good job at depicting what are the major components of the genre, stylistically and culturally. Take away the lyrics and you're left without what actually makes the songs what they are at their core.

It's the same with K-Pop, which again has lyricists and music producers from Europe as well who work within the industry, among Koreans, Americans and people from all over the world. It's a blend. Kpop is not just korean language pop, but it includes layers and multitudes. A poster child of globalization in the self surveillance era of the internet.

There's no written rule that someone singing in English needs to have perfectly correct lyrics. I don't think it's a direct attempt at trying to challenge something hegemonic that has obvious colonial undertones, but it can be interpreted as that? I don't know, it's just a thought.

[anewbeginningagain]

The Moir family has definitely been doing good work with kids, it's just that they've now grown to an age where we're seeing them regularly. In fact, I think IAM proper is a bit in trouble with their juniors because they don't really have strong teams atm, the top development schools are IAMO, Champs Intl, Paul Mac in K/W with some Mariposa and the Alberta schools thrown in. I think they're trying to address it by opening their own development division, but at the end of the day, every school is a feeder school for Montreal if all the top seniors end up going there lol. I've seen this narrative thrown around by Scott haters that he's somehow getting screwed over and subordinate to Montreal and I just have to laugh. He's more decorated than anyone coaching there by several orders of magnitude. Look at what he's accomplished in just 3-4 years. People were hating on CPom just a couple of years ago, they were being talked about as an undeserving nepo team, and look at them now - they're about to medal at a senior ISU championship and have two national medals in the notoriously deep US field. I was impressed by every single IAMO team at CanNats, clearly a lot of work has gone into giving each skater what they need. Scott will inevitably succeed because he's brilliant and he's hired great people. They clearly have all their bases covered - both technical and artistic. IAM has actually developed very few teams on their own and all of their champions have gotten their basic technique elsewhere, they're a finishing school like TCC and there's nothing wrong with that.

To be fair I.AM has several teams/skaters they trained from early stages, L/L are one of them, F/A are a second, L/Q are also a promising junior turns senior team.

I.AM Ontario as you mentioned train teams from very early stages, that's one of the reasons why I love watching Hensen/Lickers as much as I do - you can see the improvement from season to season. And for them to be able to give good fundamentals and also improve experienced teams - it's two sides of the same coin and it's an advantage.

The rest I fully agree with :) Whoever been following me for a while knows I was super critical about CPom in the past when they were with Igor, I felt the material he gave them was a knockoff of TS or others and their charisma and technical skills were lacking in me eyes. What Scott and team managed with them is by far the best improvement I've seen in ages, they just covered all bases - technical (highest to close to it BV at almost every event they had), packaging, material - it's all so much better now.

[wntw-virtuemoir-edition]

I hate to burst a bubble but Emma Slater is a ballroom choreographer. Unfortunately it is more believable that an IAM team hired her for choreo than an American TV show booked a pair of washed up Canadian athletes with 14 fans.

i considered that as a more probable option but it didnt sound as fun💁🏼‍♀️

[fortunatelyannoyingwolf]

Iam Nick from florida, currently am looking for online job clients for job work is "live chat with people" for hiring click here:- https://tinyurl.com/3j5m7ks6

Hiring managers acknowledge as much. In a survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers last summer, 27% reported having job postings up for more than four months. Among those who said they advertised job postings that they weren’t actively trying to fill, close to half said they kept the ads up to give the impression the company was growing, according to Clarify Capital, a small-business-loan provider behind the study. One-third of the managers who said they advertised jobs they weren’t trying to fill said they kept the listings up to placate overworked employees.

You've probably been in the position of sending out your resume far and wide, filling out zillions of applications, and going weeks or even months before even getting an answer. Well, turns out a lot of it's because they're not actually hiring anyone. It's not just you.

What to Expect When Using an Overseas Moving Company to Relocate to NZ

Moving to New Zealand from Australia is an exciting adventure, but it can also feel overwhelming. Packing up your life and moving across the Tasman Sea involves a lot of planning and logistics. That’s where an overseas moving company comes in — they handle everything from packing and customs clearance to transportation and delivery, making your move much smoother. This guide will walk you through what to expect when hiring a professional mover so you can feel confident about your relocation.

Moving from Australia to New Zealand isn’t just about shipping your belongings — it involves paperwork, customs rules, and biosecurity regulations. Professional movers know the ins and outs of these processes, ensuring your items comply with all necessary rules and avoiding delays or fines.

A reputable overseas moving company offers a range of services, including:

Packing and Unpacking: Professionals use high-quality packing materials to protect your items.

Loading and Transportation: They manage logistics and ensure secure shipping.

Storage Solutions: If needed, you can use short- or long-term storage options in Australia or New Zealand.

Insurance Coverage: Many movers offer insurance to cover potential damages or losses.

Relocating is a big task, but with professional movers, you don’t have to do everything yourself. They handle the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively), allowing you to focus on other important aspects like finding a new home or settling into your job.

Not all moving companies are the same. Read online reviews, check ratings, and ask for recommendations from friends or family. A reliable company should have a strong track record of successful moves.

Check if the company is certified by organizations like the International Association of Movers (IAM) or the Federation of International Movers (FIDI). These credentials indicate high industry standards.

Get detailed quotes from several companies and compare their pricing. Be wary of hidden fees such as fuel surcharges or additional packing costs.

A company that regularly handles Australian moving to NZ from Australia will know how to navigate specific challenges like customs requirements and shipping timelines.

Most moving companies offer a consultation where they assess your belongings and provide a tailored quote. This helps in choosing the best shipping method for your needs.

Stay organized with a checklist that includes:

Decluttering and sorting items

Notifying utility providers and updating addresses

Arranging pet transportation if needed

Understanding New Zealand’s quarantine regulations for specific items

Before packing, create an inventory list to keep track of everything. Label boxes clearly to make unpacking easier. Getting rid of unnecessary items can also help reduce shipping costs.

Professional movers use specialized packing techniques to protect fragile and high-value items. Some offer custom crating for extra security.

Sea Freight: Ideal for large shipments, usually taking 3 to 6 weeks.

Air Freight: Faster but more expensive, perfect for urgent or smaller shipments.

Your moving company will handle the paperwork, including:

Inventory List: A detailed record of all shipped items.

Customs Declaration: Required for duty and tax assessments.

Biosecurity Inspection: Ensures compliance with New Zealand’s strict biosecurity laws.

Once your shipment arrives, the moving company coordinates delivery to your new home. Many movers also offer unpacking services, furniture assembly, and debris removal to help you settle in quickly.

Several factors influence the price of moving from Australia to New Zealand:

Volume and weight of your shipment

Distance and chosen shipping method

Packing and additional services

Customs duties and taxes

Get estimates from different movers and compare costs. Avoid companies that offer unusually low prices, as they may have hidden fees or unreliable service.

Storage Fees: If your home isn’t ready, you might need temporary storage.

Customs and Quarantine Costs: Certain items require special permits or inspections.

Insurance: It’s wise to insure your belongings for peace of mind.

Unforeseen delays can happen due to weather conditions or customs processing. Pack essential items separately so you have what you need in case of a delay.

Choose a reputable mover with a good track record for handling fragile items. Opt for comprehensive insurance coverage.

Moving to a new country takes time. Learn about the local culture, healthcare system, and job market to make the transition easier.

Register with local authorities and make sure you’re compliant with residency requirements. If bringing pets, check New Zealand’s strict import laws.

Connect with local expat groups and attend networking events to meet new people. New Zealand is known for its friendly communities, making it easier to settle in.

Moving to New Zealand from Australia is a major step, but with the right planning and support, it can be a smooth and stress-free process. Hiring an experienced overseas moving company takes the burden off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on starting your new life in NZ. Start researching early, choose a trusted moving partner, and look forward to your exciting new adventure!
