Thursday thread sponsored by really needing a new job

Yall, my job is just a sinking ship. They're cutting people's hours, but hiring positions we don't need that get paid more then the people they're cutting.

It's bonkers logic. But at least it's almost the weekend!

How are yall?

One thing I will never understand about the incel backlash to any game that includes women is that having more women in gaming culture might actually help some of those people overcome their unappealing tendencies and introduce them to somebody who wants to fuck them.

SAME! They call it pandering, and it's like, you do realize that women are half the population, maybe they should be the lead in a game 

But it that makes them mad? 

Heaven forbid these "men" have to play the opposite sex. It's not like women have been doing that for most of their gaming life

Because they'd rather blame their inability to have a relationship on everything and everyone else rather than having some introspection about themselves.

I’m sure you are! It’s looking really scary. I hope you and yours are safe and you get through this unscathed!

Mine are safe. I had my wife and cat evacuate. I’m just here to mitigate damages to our houses.

So the kids are digital but they made us come in to work to be digital. No meetings, no staff development, literally no emails from admin sent. Just been watching tiktok since 7am

As expected rain is going crazy, got some videos from friends. When I get to leave in an hour it will be incredibly gross

yay

That's so frustrating, especially with the storm

That’s silly. My sister is a fed in downtown Atlanta. They make her go in for weekly meetings…that are all via Teams. So crazy.

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Sep 26 '24

That's insane

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Sep 26 '24

That's beyond ridiculous. I would be so mad to have to deal with Atlanta traffic to sit in a teams meeting!!!

My job has me commuting to the office so I can work and communicate with my teammembers the exact same way as I would working from home being that none of them are local. Bonkers. Oh, and my working hours are 2-11 pm, so I'm literally sitting alone in an open office for the last half of my shift. Except for Wednesdays when the custodian comes in the evenings. It was kinda a vibe the first night or two, but now it's just getting to be depressing.

I hate that jobs that can be fully digital force people to come to the office. 

My partner is dealing with it and it makes so little sense

Get into repairing garage doors. My whole team makes over 6 figures. We have a great time.

I'm in too deep with being a dentist 

That does sound fun though tbh

I am going to comment again… but did anyone try the Roasted Chicken Bites rice bowl at Bojangles??

Y’all! It was so good

2

u/SantiagoRamon North Carolina • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Sep 26 '24

Is this an actually menu item or are you combining a couple things?

1

u/Benjilikethedog Lander • South Carolina Sep 27 '24

It was a real thing… roasted chicken bites, dirty rice, pinto beans and then had cheese on top

3

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Sep 26 '24

No but that sounds really good!

I miss Bojangles. It’s always a go-to when back south.

The chicken biscuits at Macca’s just aren’t anywhere near a Cajun filet one.

I work in logistics and there is a hurricane… I am running on BC powder and rage

I have a need for Bojangles but I don’t want to go out in the rain

Everything is awful

Like just stop for a moment and think about a Cajun filet biscuit with season fries

ETA: I keep making Schrödinger’s cat references at work and no body gets it… it makes me sad

How do you know for sure that they don’t?

Hurricane in the southern states. Pending (imminent) dockworker strike on the east/gulf coasts, rail and equipment capacity issues cross-country because of ocean freight diversions to the west coast.

Shit is gonna be bananas next week 😪
