"it's important to me that mel and langdon are platonic bc not all male/female relationships have to be romantic ☹️" no dude you're uncomfortable with the idea that an autistic woman can have romantic and sexual needs. it's important to me that mel, an adult woman and physician who's been parentified her entire life while also being simultaneously infantilized by the fanbase is treated like a complex! whole! individual! if you're not willing to deconstruct that in your brain then i truly don't even have anything to say to you!!!

I need to have a word with whoever is in charge of women's shorts from No Boundaries.

Why is it that I bought two pairs of shorts and I can see my underwear through both pairs? If I wear a thong with either of these shorts and stand in direct light, you see my entire ass through the shorts. I don't just mean the pantyline of my thong. You can see what color thong I'm wearing. You can see the dimples on my ass cheeks. Standing normally, not bent over so the fabric stretches, my ass is on display. My ass isn't even huge and the shorts aren't too tight.

I'm going to have to buy full coverage panties just for these shorts. Or return them and hope the next pair doesn't broadcast what color panties I'm wearing.

I told my boss I'd come in early on my day off to help with inventory stuff. I told him 5 am but I might start earlier just so I can get as much done as possible before the coworker I can't stand gets there. The reason I gave was so I can do my work in peace before customers get there. And that is part of it. Counting hundreds of Bitty Pops will be a lot easier without customers trying to get in the checkout line I'm working on. But also I can't stand that girl and I want to work in peace without her being up my ass.

Also I've been trying to fix the shelf labels on the trading card wall for like 4 days and I keep getting interrupted. If I finish the inventory precount, I can fix the shelf labels, stock some shit that was hidden in a box in the closet for some reason, and maybe work some long/shorts.

And while I'm working the long/shorts, assign some to the coworker I hate. And if she refuses to do them and unassigns them again, I'm going to quietly and professionally flip my fucking shit. To be fair, everyone (including myself) gets assigned an equal amount of long/shorts, and last time I purposely gave her the ones with the furthest out due dates and the easiest ones. She knows how to do them. She just refuses to practice at it. But you're not gonna get better at it unless you try. We have the same job title, same resources, same number of hours scheduled per week. Just try until something clicks. For the love of god, Google "long/shorts (COMPANY) reddit and you'll probably find some advice. Poke around on the cash recycler reports or the computer and see if numbers line up.

[heyheycaitalin]

I swear to god, 8 months ago I was like "oh no, I don't know if I want to promote to salaried. I don't know if I'd ever be ready". Now? I want to promote just so I can get the fuck away from a coworker I can't stand.

I don't wanna step down. No one's making her do her job better or step down. There are no transfer opportunities in my area for the same job. So I might just see what I gotta do to promote. I know I'm ready to work my ass off and do whatever I gotta do. But I don't know how to sell myself to strangers.

I don't wanna promote within this same store. I hate my store manager and I don't wanna be anywhere near this coworker. But anywhere else, hell yes. Ideally, I'd want to promote and go to the store where my favorite former boss works. But anywhere is fine. I just gotta get away from this dumbass coworker before I lose my shit.

[heyheycaitalin]

When I say I'm holding on by a fucking thread at work, the thread is really just those strings on bananas. More ranting under the cut.

Tell me why she went THREE HOURS without keys and didnt say shit. She thought I had them. But dude. Why the FUCK would you not ask for them back? We have two sets for a fucking reason. She told our boss she didnt know where they were, but dude thats even worse. That's a security problem. If I went three hours without knowing where my keys are and didn't say shit and wasn't tearing the store up to find them, I'd be coached or fired. I genuinely don't know how she doesn't see the problem with that.

But I know why she didn't ask for them back. She didn't want to have keys because then she can push tasks off to other people. And no the fuck you can't. If you don't want keys, you can't be a team lead.

This is only one small molecule of the bullshit I've had to deal with, and I'm fucking sick of it. She's mediocre at best and no one's calling her out on it ir pushing her to be better, so shes comfortable in mediocrity. Well I'm not gonna make it comfortable. We are well past the limit on how long she can use the old "Im new teehee" excuse to not do shit and claim she didn't know. It's been like 3 months. I didn't get a three month grace period when I promoted, neither did any other new TL. It's not in my job description to carry my weight and hers.

And the crazy thing is, she wants to promote to salaried. Ma'am, get fucking real. You don't even want to do the job you have. There's no way you're gonna do everything salaried does. I'm not confident I'm ready to promote. If I'm not ready, she sure as fuck isn't ready.

I started making a guide for my area to help people in my position whenever I quit/get fired/transfer/go on vacation etc. But now, I'm thinking fuck that. Because that means the person who is making my work life so unbearable I want to leave would benefit from my work ethic. And I think absofuckinglutely not. But then again, I made guides for two other things and shared it with her and she still hasn't used it when I know she should've.

I've been complaining and complaining. I have a list of multiple complaints from people. I don't know what else I can do.

Genuinely, I hope they force her to step down or quit. I hope she points out. I hope she transfers to some other store where I don't know anyone. I know salaried people at 4 stores and I like them too much to curse them with her lack of a work ethic, so I hope she stays away from those stores.

As soon as I can, I want to transfer out of here. I don't care where or what department. I just need out. I'm done with her bullshit, and everyone letting her coast by like it's not a problem. Maybe soon I'll be ready to promote and can get out. Until then, I'm in hell.

Mel privately referring to Frank as her boyfriend in her head except she accidentally calls him that out loud in front of other people when he’s still married

[drkinglangdon]

If you need me I’ll be sitting in the cuck chair

[nervousgazes]

langdon has seen so many sides of mel he’s seen her happy he’s seen her talkative he’s seen her snap he’s seen her angry he’s seen her overwhelmed he’s seen her stressed oh god he’s seen so much of her and he accepted her each way and knew exactly the right thing to do and this was only after 2 shifts together so imagine what it’ll be like the next time we see them….. my god the food is so fucking good

[madysenpai]

They didn’t let Mel see the cervical reduction first hand bc the wet floor would’ve been a tripping hazard.

I have been complaining about another TL (*Sue) for weeks, but I can't formally make a statement because I haven't witnessed anything.

But now I have a digital paper trail proving Sue is purposely not doing her job. Like a month ago, my boss asked me to divvy up the long/shorts between the TLs so the unassigned long/shorts wouldn't fuck us over on the report. So I did. There were 10 long/shorts and 3 TLs including myself. I gave myself 4 and the other 2 TLs 3 each. Sue is new and was wrapping up a training week so I purposely gave her the 3 newest ones so she'd have the most time to work on it. A couple weeks ago, I divvied up the long/shorts again. I gave Sue the easiest looking ones and even included notes about what to look for.

Sue didn't know I did this. So, instead of trying to work on any of them, she unassigned herself from them. This isn't a thing where the system timed out and unassigned it automatically. No, she clicked on it and hit unassign.

So now, we have 17 unassigned long/shorts that will fuck us up on the report tomorrow. And the ones she unassigned are over 2 weeks late.

I'm fuming. I'm furious. The excuse of "She's new, give her time" is way past tired. It's time to step up or step down. The only way to get better at doing long/shorts is to just do it until something clicks. I can't get anymore generous than assigning the ones with the furthest out due dates and the easiest ones. I'm not doing them for her.

This is only one of the things Sue doesnt do that she should do as part of her job. I don't give a fuck if she doesnt want to. If she doesn't want to do her TL duties then she needs to step down or quit.

I took a screenshot of the long/short history and emailed it to my boss. If they don't do anything about it, I'm transferring stores as fast as I can. I'm not pulling my weight and hers. The other TL and I didn't get this long of a grace period when we were new, and we certainly didn't fuck up as much as Sue.

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

[halomancer]

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t “hyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t “pushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t “nippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t “mean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t “yappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

[lemonsharks]

Both your most common doodle's parts (labra and golden) want to hunt and retrieve water birds so the best suggestion I can give y'all is congratulations on your new duck hunting hobby.

Any time someone sees Herschel and says "AWWW I want a Corgi <3" (because he is Very Cute (TM)), I immediately reply: "Do not get a Corgi unless you have a job for it to do. They were bred to bully livestock across the hills of Wales. This is basically a Border Collie that knows he is cute enough to get away with murder. If you get one and it doesn't have a job, it will apply its livestock-bullying instincts to YOU. Herschel's job specifically is to help manage my crippling ADHD, because I don't have a bull for him to micromanage." This gets me odd looks at the home depot but it does get the point across.

[harringtonsugar]

unpopular or not, i just know steve harrington is a good employee. maybe it’s because he feel like he has something to prove or it’s competitiveness peaking through but he always makes it a point to keep things organized and accurate. he likes cleanliness and surprisingly loves to do inventory because he wants to make sure he can answer any question thrown his way. customer service is his #1 priority (and not just flirting) like he’s such a people person and even if he won’t admit it, he loves seeing customers leave happy because of him (he will always deny his people pleasing tendencies) even if they’re dead end jobs and he barely makes any money, he grew to love the extra responsibility and he likes being someone other people rely on to teach them. all in all, he’s perfect <3
