#im ready... promotion......

[cator99]

You know except for head office because of the one time I was working with a Big Deal company and I uh breached my contractual confidentiality after everyone on our team got a very evil grimdark email from our boss and i may have during some downtime causally mentioned it to the dope lesbian in charge who had become my bestie and because I wanted to continue to improve the working relationship between our two companies and she assured me that everything was going so impressively smoothly and that if there were any complaints from anyone on her side of things they would be adressed to the workers on the floor directly so she was just as confused as everyone on my team was! and at the end of the day during huddle she brought up that she'd heard we recieved an angry boss email in front of everyone (oops) and again reassured us that our work has been nothing short of perfect and if that's ever not the case she wouldn't hesitate to let us know at that very instant... however evil Todd from head office snitched to our boss that someone leaked the fact that we got a curse in the form of email from her... boss CC'd everyone lashing out and saying that whoever brought that up to our client needed to fess up within the hour or she would call each and every one of us individually until she found out who did it and they would be reprimanded. I explained myself to her and that I never showed the email thus didnt breach anything and that as the ones working directly with the company in person that any issues can only be worked through via direct open communication because I also value this working relationships we have with our clients and want to do everything I can to ensure we deliver our absolute best etc etc and there wasn't even anything wrong which SHE confirmed (i assume she had just been bored and hungered to psychologically torment us) so yeah wasn't reprimanded because I'm highly regarded and also the district managers favorite boy but yeah since then I've had a somewhat stained reputation which is punishment enough I suppose. It's been an uphill battle to get a promotion since. Especially since I tried to leave the company for the one I'd been working with and the lesbian boss advised that while she and her whole team absolutely want me they also don't want our company's working relationships to suffer cuz they'd poached from us before which sounded like a massive point of contention and that I'd have to ask for my boss's blessing before they would consider moving forward. Boss never responded to my email about that. Stumbled into getting the company's top hiring manager's email (I'd been working in proximity with him all week while we set up the store and we vibed af, didn't know his position, just noticed that he carried himself very important and then asked him who I should ask if I'm looking to work for them and then he gave me his personal email!) and I did everything I needed to do in such an impressively timely manner... yet nothing came of it. I think that perhaps in my over-enthusiasm I came across as unprofessional... or even far too confident for someone with so little experience...... that's just how I roll... I like to think I just have a naturally-occuring CEO mindset. Smoke Too Tough. Swag Too Different. Etc. If it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be but I mean damn. What I need you all to understand is that I work for an actual honest to god demon from the pits of hell I wish I could even begin to explain it but I've never even met this woman whom everyone cannot even say her name without practically spitting it or at the very least groaning... the team leads and senior merchandisers had to attend a meeting with her a few months back and every person in attendance has described it as though she had somehow so effectively structured their meeting in order for her to elaborately construct a psychological torture chamber for each and every individual in attendance and then watch them break and break and break with the sole purpose of feasting off what remains of their soul survived the encounter.

Worked at one of the union stores today..... the union rep has to check over our work before we could sign out and I really like this store's particular rep... today she remarked that I'm the only person she sees being flip flopping between teams – to be honest I never really thought about it that way til she pointed it out... I'll take this as a testament to my recognized ability to work well with everyone and thrive any where I'm put... but the real thing is that the white team has been there from the start and the people on the indian team primarily speak hindi to each other so ppl tend to be scheduled based on these factors and they all have their own various internal power games of which I am outside of like lalalalala I love team I love work one day I'm gonna get promoted i swears it ladadedadoo. and I'm right. and everyone like me as a result.

Joe reaches above his head, pushing onto his toes, to put a clean frying pan on the top shelf, pulling his t-shirt up with the motion. There’s a flash of the dimples near Joe’s spine, at the small of his back—an unnecessarily sexy part of him, in Patrick’s opinion—holding Patrick’s attention. Patrick feels pulled to him from across the kitchen, unconsciously, fingers curling over hip bones, thumbs holding the hem of Joe’s shirt out of the way to get an eye full. He stares with wide, yearning eyes... Or: Patrick catches a glimpse of Joe’s back dimples, and he has to act up about it. Naturally.

top patrick/bottom joe nation i wrote a little bit of married/domestic flavoured smut inspired by joe's back dimples, hope u enjoy <3

[anotherpapercut]

hey what do you do about the intense feelings of dread and anxiety when you think about getting a college degree and also when you think about the alternative (not getting a degree)

[aria0fgold]

I don't think I've seen a more relatable post

[moonwabbitt]

im sorry to make so many pluging posts,,

im looking for work, but it's been a slow process, (i started back in dec) my disability limits me to what jobs are available to me in my area, disability payments aren't enough to cover household + pet costs;;; im doing the best i can but i could really use the money

[bigkettle]

how could this happen. the job i applied for and wanted to get is actually interviewing me im gonna be sick

[taetaesangel]

idk what this color scheme is but i just wanted badass futuristic borderline-villain ladies as the theme and i consider this a success

[queenofbaws]

happy fic-back friday y'all!!! :P it's been a hot second since i've updated this puppy, but i'm clawing my way back into the groove, so if, say, you wanted to refresh yourself on the hackett-fiddler family trauma-drama so far (or if you want some material to gently, gingerly, oh-so-delicately bully me into writing with), boy have i got the link for you!

“What doesn’t kill you—” At that, Jack did throw his hands up. “Makes you stronger, yeah yeah, I’ve read the bumper sticker. Got a couple on the truck out front, thanks to your sister. And that’s all fine and good, but you know that what does kill you just sorta kills you, right? It don’t care how strong you are, just that you’re dead. Between you and me? I’m lookin’ to close this season out without digging more holes than I have to, so I don’t care who it was that made you pinky-promise you’d stay quiet, you’re in my house now, and in my house, the only things that come outta secrets are headaches and graves. So.” He assumed his earlier position again, crossing his arms as he leaned against his shelves. “This is about Silas, is it?” Caleb swallowed so hard Jack could see the lump in his throat bob. His eyes flit back out towards the empty lobby as though worried someone would catch him telling stories outside of class. “No. I…yeah? Sorta-kinda. It’s…it’s complicated.” And there it was. Exactly what he’d been trying to get Jed to understand. When things got strange, really and truly bizarre, you could only ever count on one thing: every kid within a mile radius finding themselves sucked into it in the worst possible way.
