SNW s1e8 “The Elysian Kingdom”
“make it no.”
I’ll take “Things I want printed on my coffee mug” for $100, Alex.
Color changing, when full it says “make it so” when empty “make it no”
The reverse says “coffee, black”. Or maybe just a picture of the nebula
It would have been an implied “no” because I wouldn’t have even answered the phone.
This, definitely
MFW they don’t even bother asking anymore, having just made it “expected”:-|
This was me in previous jobs. I was on call 24/7 with no breaks for like 6 months. I was getting paged in the middle of the night 3 to 4 nights a week. It came closer to killing me. Subsequent jobs I have not allowed that. I may be lucky it’s worked out for me since.
Damn that’s horrible - yeah definitely take care of yourself, which I say in part bc we love seeing your content here, but for many other reasons as well! ☺️
Thank you. My current job is pretty chill now. I’ve also learned to better self advocate, which was learned too late in life
I still haven’t learned that balance yet, so kudos for your bravery to be willing to learn new things:-).
Keep trying. Self advocating is important, but growing up, I (and probably you) were taught that loyalty to company, hard work, and blending in was ah that mattered and that you would be taken care of. That’s all BS, but it’s hard to break that thought process. It takes time, and confidence (which is also very hard).
I pretty much work every weekend now as a freelancer, but they can’t have my Tuesday night D&D!
Can someone explain how this works in the US? If my work said this to me I’d feel totally comfortable saying no, and if I did come in I’d charge for transport and get double time.
Well, in this particular instance, they asked on Wednesday to make up for time lost last week when I had to deal with a family emergency. So, I can understand that request. Otherwise, if a full-time employee is under by X hours, then they can usually get away with the request. Asking beyond that is overtime.
That episode is one of my favorite episodes of SNW ever.
Funny as hell… and then that emotional gut punch.
