#good management

I’m a massage therapist, with really bad knee pain and issues. When I fell nearly 6 months ago on that same bad knee, I thought my job/career would be over because of how bad it was and how much pain I was in. I was out of work for 3 months.

When I was trying to go back too early, my former director of the spa I was mainly working at…..DID NOT want to accommodate my work restrictions and even with the doctors note, basically said it would be better for me not to work at all. And when I say accommodations, I was asking for no 100min services and no 4 in a row services. That’s it. Two things. Rather than say yes to that with a spa that was slow af (still is) she said it was best if I still was out for two weeks. And whatever, I agreed because I was trying to push myself to work again too early (I needed money and still do).

This is the same person who asked me to put away lien after I did 5 services in a row and said I shouldn’t be sitting if we get paid hourly now. I said “……my knee is really hurting so I’m sitting for two seconds because I just came out of a back to back services.“ she then apologized later but that’s not the point. She also said, when I told her that I sit while doing prenatals or the feet/back sometimes she goes, in a nasty tone “we’ll have to talk about that” like no. No guest or client has EVER complained or said anything about me doing it or knows I’m doing it because the massage flow doesn’t change.

Fast forward; the director is no longer there. I’m still at that spa, but now work at a second spa. So I have a new manager, (she asked if I could come in for a few hours on my day off tomorrow from 10-3, and I said yes cuz I need money!) who saw me bend over today and sigh and she asked how I was doing, I was honest and said I’ve been in pain most of the day probably from the weather and I’m still recovering from a knee injury. DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TEXTED ME LATER!?

She said “I know you’re in pain, so just come in from 11-3” I said sure! Then after I was home, she texts me AND TELLS ME TO REST UP AND COME IN AT 12 INSTEAD! 😭

It’s just…it’s so nice to have a manager who sees/saw my pain, was able to rearrange the schedule and tell me to rest up and to cover only 3 hours. Like, out of the 5 years I worked at the other spa, NEVER did the director do anything like that for me, despite my asking or requesting.

I’ve been very busy at the new spa, but came off of a slow schedule, a holiday vacation and a sickness, so basically lots of downtime for me and resting and doing nothing. My body was mad at suddenly being super active again. And this manager tells me to feel better and rest up. Bless her.

How I first thought this guy was going to be like, when I started watching chief kim = crazy, bad guy, unlikable

How he turned out = a baby, with psychotic tendencies

Every time he appears on he screen my brain goes:

"He's just a baby 🥰" in the meme voice (you know which one I'm talking about?)

Sent a genuine question to my manager on teams for her to answer in the morning at 6:54pm and she just replied with ‘are these your working hours?!’ and I think that’s the nicest way I’ve ever been told to log the fuck off😂😂

i don't even know what to say. Apparently my brother has been sending doja cat (singer) recipe links as instagram dms for literal YEARS now because he doesn't know an easy way to bookmark them in the app. Which led to an attempt to save recipes by just linking them to celebrities who he assumes aren't checking their dms anyways. this lifehack got him blocked by mac demarco and lorde however. Doja never blocked or responded so he just continued to use her inbox to save insta recipes. FOR YEARS.

This is super important for authority figures to realize!!

the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern

You are not childish for wishing the world was better than it is. We were owed that by the people who knew better before us, just like we too will owe the people who’ll come after us. But defeatism does nothing. It puts nothing on the plate you’ll hand to your child, your friend, your lover. You may never live to see the world become as good as it should, but that should never stop you from trying to improve it anyway.

sans undertale would not make i fucked your wife jokes. people want to make jokes about sans fucking asgore's wife but sans the character would NOT do that r you kidding me. you can cut the secondhand embarrassment with a knife every time they're in the same room together, sans likes the guy, i bet he feels genuinely kinda bad for asgore. he'd be like sorry about the dating your ex wife thing. to be fair she's a really cool ex wife. and asgore would be like (rescue shelter dog sigh) She is.
