Um you really should.vaccinate your children even if you are aalready vaccinated

Or maybe I'm not understanding something? Was the kid vaccine smaller and left no mark?

geeoharee

We eradicated smallpox.

nowlander

Yeah I was confused because another vaccine* applied in Mexico still leaves a mark and I always asumed it was still the smallpox one, which I also was mistaking with chickenpox.

*It's actually the bacillus calmette-guérin, against tuberculosis

Got out of the movie theater to find that my job kicked me off this project a week early, and I have to check out on Sunday. Never work for companies based in red states lmao

lesbianshepard

I found out via automated email (sent at 7pm) that another guy had been added to the project. It didn't mention that he was replacing me, but I noticed that it had changed my listed checkout date to tomorrow. I asked the hotel front desk and they went yeah your checkout date changed. I mentioned it to the other techs, who said they had also gotten the email and didn't even notice that my checkout date had changed. The email just mentioned someone was joining, not leaving.

Not a single human being called or emailed me to let me know I was getting kicked off and needed to prepare to leave tomorrow. They cancelled worked today for air quality, and the field lead didn't say anything to me. Like, they just kinda of expected everyone to closely read this email and pick up the slight change. I guess I was supposed to find out when the room key stopped working tomorrow lol.

This company is pretty infamous among shovelbums/archaeologists for being TERRIBLE to work with, it's on all the "don't take a project unless you are desperate, because they treat you like shit and underpay you" but holy fuck I would have expected, like, a human being to tell me I was supposed to leave and why.

also this comes after I nearly passed out from heat stroke after hiking about a km of slope in direct sunlight and then through wetland, and the kestrel (temp checker thing) said it was 114F out, and I was like "hey dont we take breaks for heat" and it turns out that, yeah, we're supposed to stop work if the kestrel reads past 110F (and take scheduled breaks if it's over 91F) but the company's way of avoiding this seems to be to get really annoyed when you ask to check the temperature.

Also, it's based out of Florida, so I don't know what I was expected regarding worker safety and humanity lol

lmao FINALLY got a call from my manager and she was like “btw you check out tomorrow :) nothing personal but it’s for your own safety bc you seem to struggle with the heat :) we need to meet quota and don’t want you to get hurt :)” so it was 1000% retaliation for me pointing out they weren’t following heat safety guidelines

lesbianshepard

A few years ago a field tech died because of this exact reason. They told her to keep working in high heat in Louisiana and she died of heat stroke, and (allegedly, from people who say they worked on the projecft) she had been asking to stop and take more breaks and her crew lead told her to power through it to get used to the heat. Company got mega sued and just ended up changing its name.

They are paying for drive time home and gas, at least. My manager was like "But we'll try to get you on a project that meets your needs! :) It's just that it gets hot in the summer! :) Maybe fall work is more your speed :)" like the issue is just heat and not that they are making us work 10 hour days, hiking uphill in direct sunlight most of the time, and only giving us a half hour lunch when the heat index is breaking 100 before noon.

fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

Parent: I just don't know how to get my child excited about reading!

*child grabs book off the shelf*

Parent: No, you're not reading that.

*child grabs another book*

Parent: Or that.

*child grabs another book*

Parent: Or that. *sigh* It's just such a shame that my kid isn't interested in reading!

nitewrighter

I need parents to understand that reading the same Lankybox graphic novel over and over is actually a gateway drug to Reading Stuff Other Than That. And shutting down books kids get excited about is a gateway drug to kids Not Reading Period.

I followed @camelidae ‘s relaxed Junicorn prompt list, and added my own twist of featuring a native North American wildflower!

I don't believe in justice. That is, I don't think it's a moral good when evildoers suffer. And when people argue that in some particular instance we can reduce total suffering by inflicting suffering on evildoers, my instinct is to doubt them, because they probably wanted to inflict suffering on the evildoers in the first place.
