#i like rules

[mariana-oconnor]

I said I have a rules problem, right? I am literally muttering ‘Spiritual Weapon is a bonus action’ at my screen in agitation.

Because it is. It’s a really good spell, and it’s a bonus action. Literally the only downside they built in is that it can only move 20ft a turn, which means that if you’re in an open fighting arena then the bad guy can easily keep away from it, but - depending on the DM - it might get an attack of opportunity.

But it’s a bonus action. So if the Cleric wants to cast Spiritual Weapon, hit someone with it and then go apeshit on someone with their mace, then they absolutely can do that. Sure, they can’t cast another spell higher than a cantrip (although they can cast a cantrip, so they can sacred flame someone that turn instead of attacking with their mace if they want to stay back and just bring down the wrath of their god on someone’s head), but Spiritual Weapon stays there and next turn they don’t have to cast it again, they just make it murder people. Unless the people have moved more than 20ft away from it.

But yes, I know it doesn’t feel like it should be a bonus action, but it is. It’s not even concentration... It just... is. For a minute, the Cleric just has an extra attack every turn, that moves rather slowly.

This rant brought to you by a pint of pepsi max.

I can't be left alone with this supervisor for more than one shift.

I'm trying. I'm really trying.

Part of me just wants to dress her down. But she doesn't deserve that. And I'd feel awful afterwards. It wouldn't actually help at all.

Her insistence on strict adherence to rules is maddening. Yes the rules are there for a reason. Yes that's how the company wants it done. But, I'm sorry, reality sometimes requires being flexible.

I'm trying to flex. Even though it's actually bringing me a great deal of physical pain (which, admittedly, is not helping my mood). I'm trying to choose my battles, and if at all possible avoid battles altogether.

We had a back and forth this morning that made me want to scream. Or cry because I can't scream at work. Can't really do that either.

It's a little humbling how much I love rules and following them. I love routine so much that im loyal to some of the most simple rules and regulations . Especially for rewards but even more embarrassingly not even .

I did tag you. It should be up on ao3 if not here.

PSA: Road Head is extremely dangerous. 10/10 do not recommend. 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️

(I liked this! It’s a very interesting dynamic you have set up with them. I quite like it. I’m a big fan of playing with poly relationships in the Losers Club! 😊💕)

We got an email today from hr that some employees have been observed watching videos on their phones at their desks during work hours and i am honestly perplexed? Who would be dumb enough to have their phone out playing Netflix while they are working?? How are you getting any work done? Also, be better at hiding it, idiots!

When I used to work customer service we were allowed to do whatever wanted in between calls. I usually read (I also did my wedding thank you cards actually 😂😂) but a lot of people watched tv or movies. But my job now is very busy, lots of typing/working, working with bills and paper..... how on earth are you even paying attention to a movie???? I listen to podcasts and audiobooks and sometimes I have to turn them off bc they are affecting my attention span!

What 'Major Crimes' character are you?

My Result: Capt. Sharon Raydor(80%)

You're a confident, perceptive individual, and a levelheaded leader. Reason usually rules your actions, but it's aided by a deeply caring nature and strong ideals. You value those around you, aim to foster a positive environment wherever you can, and always try to be supportive and act in people's best interest. Unfortunately, you don't always take advantage of the same benefits you grant everyone else: your introversion and strong sense of responsibility toward everyone can prevent you from asking for support with your own problems. You rarely consider that it can be just as rewarding for those around you to be helpful to you, as it is the other way around! A sharp, logical thinker, you can deliberate as long as needed over a decision until you come up with the best course of action - and once that happens, it can be difficult to persuade you to reconsider, as you tend to be very determined and tenacious in getting your way. Luckily, your way usually is the best way for all involved.

Oh my god! Our list is generally like: no electronics or aerosols. I need to double check where they stand on food.

Huh. The post office at Earl's Court had several stacks of those lying around... (I have no clue about what Switzerland allows. I just know that if it's thinner than 2 centimetres, it counts as a letter, which is really, really handy.) And I think foods are tricky, there are roughly seventeen different categories of food, and some of them can be shipped internationally, some can't. Like, I think honey is never allowed to cross any borders undeclared. Addictive substances like tobacco and alcohol have to be declared from certain amounts up, plant material has another declaration than meat, and meat has different categories according to what sort of animal diseases are around. Oh, and, of course, it depends on whether a thing is perishable or not. Mail rules are fun.
