ECHOES OF COURAGE IS A LOVELY, WONDERFUL AU AND YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT! It’s made by my fantastic super talented friend @cerame and she’s so knowledgeable about zelda and great art/writing.

The characters are super well thought out, the designs are sick and there’s a mountain of awesome rad stuff for anyone who stays to read. I can promise you that; without a shadow of a doubt yes yes yes.

ILL BE IN YOUR WALLS

Echoes of Courage

If there is one constant in the land of Hyrule, it is that there will always be someone with a heart of gold and the spirit of a hero. If there is another constant, it is that they only ever rise up when evil haunts the land.

Now, what if these heroes all simply... met?

God I hate this quiet firing bullshit.

It's possible that I have my tinfoil hat on and I'm too paranoid, but I doubt it.

TL;DR: Am I paranoid for thinking that my employers are baiting me into calling out of my shift or am I onto something?

Backstory: My SM quit and I heard that she was going to be quitting a few days before she actually quit, according to a coworker. I had an issue with her underscheduling me and giving me 3 hour shifts (no break, I don't need a break, it's just a slap in the face) for a total of 3-9 hours per week, even though I've worked there for nearly 4 years, which is longer than she herself has. I went in on my day off to talk to her about it on her last day. I was careful not to blame her and even though I was furious, I put the blame on myself, asking her if I was doing something wrong and if there was something I could improve upon on my performance in order to see my hours increase.

She of course lied to my face and said that no, I was doing great and that I was one of their best employees, yadda, yadda, yadda. And that she'd talk to the leads taking over for her about increasing my hours.

Cut to about a month later. My hours STILL ha e not increased. I let it slide for a bit, considering that the leads were left without a SM and had a lot on their plate and I'm not the only employee in the store, possibly this was just an adjustment period. After a month or so, I went in to talk to the lead in charge of doing schedules (or at least I THOUGHT she was in charge of the schedule, every time I asked various members of management who was doing the schedule, I got various vague answers such as "we're switching off" and "management")

So I go in to talk about my hours and before I can actually get to talk about it, I'm blindsided by being told that I have a customer complaint against me, accusing me of being racist (absolutely not true, I live in a very diverse area, I would not survive if I did not like people different from myself) and that it's an EOC issue and it results in immediate termination.

WTF. Obviously I'm shocked and forget about the hours thing. Long story short, I may or may not have threatened my leads and made them think that I already have a lawyer and am planning on suing them for discriminating me (I am HOH and they have not accommodated me in any way, that is actually true, they have actually removed a help needed button that connects to our radios with a robotic voice that I can actually hear and replaced it with a bellhop bell that I cannot hear) so that whole issue seems to have been dropped. No mention of it since then and everything appears normal and it's as if nothing happened.

I'm not so naive to believe that it's all swept under the rug and everything is fine, we all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, so I'm watching my back.

Cut to today. I have a 3 hour shift today and also tomorrow. I am out of town and have been the past few days and my mom (who is the one who has to drive, I do not drive) is trying to convince me to call out and I am refusing, because I believe this is bait for a trap. I think they want me to call out, so they can add some bullshit like "shift abandonment" or something to the above-mentioned mess and fire me.

My question is, am I being paranoid and have my tinfoil hat on, or does it sound like they are trying to manipulate me into calling out so they can fire me for real under some bullshit excuse or something else?

36 of 80 Cebu City villages now Covid-free: Labella

#PHnews: 36 of 80 Cebu City villages now Covid-free: Labella

CEBU CITY – Mayor Edgardo Labella on Tuesday announced that 36 of the 80 barangays in the city are now cleared of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

He said based on the data gathered by the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as of Monday, the city has detected no single active case of Covid-19 in those 36 villages.

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF) established EOC in Cebu City last June after President Rodrigo Duterte sent Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu here to oversee the Covid-19 response.

The Department of Health in Central Visayas (DOH-7), however, showed a slight increase in active Covid-19 cases in the city from 335 a week ago to 356 based on it’s Monday case bulletin.

But the city detected only nine additional new cases against the 37 additional reported recoveries, which brought the total number of recoveries here to 8,732. The number is 89.5 percent of the 9,750 total infections since the onset of the pandemic.

Labella also announced last week that 49 of the 53 barangay isolation centers were shut already down since the number of patients has dropped significantly.

The mayor said while there is a reason to be jubilant because of this achievement, he urged the Cebuanos to be conscious of the presence of coronavirus in the community and to be mindful in observing minimum health standards such as wearing of face mask and physical distancing, among others.

Lawyer Rey Gealon, Labella’s spokesperson and city attorney, said in a virtual presser Monday that the city will continue to strictly enforce the health protocols, especially to establishments allowed to reopen under the modified general community quarantine (MGCQ).

“The mayor is serious in implementing the minimum health protocols and keeps on reminding the Business Permit and Licensing Office to always inspect establishments and if they are not enforcing it, we will shut them down,” Gealon said in Cebuano.

He said 70 establishments were ordered closed or voluntarily ceased operations for violating the protocols. They were slapped with a penalty of suspension of work.

Of the 70, seven got a 14-day work suspension while the rest were allowed to reopen after three to five days of closure. (PNA)
