I uh wasn't thinking...and I opened a box of sodas that was sitting on top of my refrigerator, lying on its side, and all the sodas rolled out and fell on me as I tried to not let them free fall to the ground. The good news is only one can ultimately broke; the bad news is I might be terminally, incurably stupid.

Was there a soda explosion?

Nah, the one can had a pinhole dent, no biggie. I make a good safety net I guess.

Well now you are qualified to serve as 'stock-saver' in supermarkets with huge piles of goods and hyperactive kids

My older brother has a decent story about tipping over a cart full of egg boxes when he was a nighttime stockboy at a local grocery.

THE EGGS WERE SMASH AND HE DIDN'T FEEL REAL BAD 'BOUT IT.

That story was soda-pressing.

So I told my work I will be taking personal day at a certain day since my family is religious and our company book says we can use our personal days for religious days. I try to be nice and let them know ahead of time and they treat you like shit and try arguing semantics and other bullshit reasons. I proved them that yes, in fact I can use it for that day, since they were denying it even though I signed the fucken book saying I can, now they're trying to pull some other shit.


Today they told me that I cant take it because they "don't consider being European a good enough reason. But if you were, for example Chinese, that would be fine." WTF does that mean?

I said I'll be taking it that day and walked away.

Yup. Discrimination. Sounds actionable as well.

I'm gonna send an email stating I want the exact reasoning in writing for the refusal. If they expect us to do everything by the book, then they should as well. Maybe I will be able to use it somehow.

If its something like " You cant get it because you are X (insert religion/ethnic group/gender) but you could have if you were Y (ditto) then that is discrimination. If they put it in writing or if you can get a recording, then you can probably do something about it

Autumn has arrived to Canadaland, and my office does not have an adjustable thermostat. And I forgot to wear a sweater this morning.

Huddling in my seat with a jacket across my shoulders, cradling a cup of scalding-hot tea. I'm getting distinctly negative vibes off this picture.

Having a streak of bad luck or something.. Last week I was down with bad headaches for almost four days, this week it's a nasty cold. Meh...

[Itwæs Nom]

talking about weather...
it actually got warmer here, but it looks like its gonna rain continously whole week..

Ruddy client has formally complained about me! It's ocassionally par for the course in my field but not only does it suck being called "unprofessional and inconsistent" but I have to add to my existing workload to provide a justification for my position. The cheek of it! Fortunately my boss agrees with me.

A tinder date with someone who was a lot of fun in text, but with whom I had no chemistry face to face.

Did you try texting her face?
