  • I scared the shit out of one of my employees. I went to his desk around 330 on a friday and asked to see him in my office. As we were walking across the room, we got stopped 2 times, prolonging the walk.

    He later admitted he thought he was being fired for some reason because “office talk” at end of the day friday is how that stereotypically goes, and being stopped twice was excruciating…

    I literally wanted to give him more money lol. I convinced HR he was under paid and we needed to pay him more so he wouldnt leave the company. I thought that’d be great news on a friday afternoon, but i almost gave him a heart attack in the process

    Ive become exceptionally familiar with the baking aisle as my wife loves to bake, but will regularly not have everything (or not enough), and she usually realizes it after she starts. So its a time measured event to get what she needs.

    Holiday season is always so funny for me because everyone’s searching up and down in that aisle just completely lost. I usually will just eves drop when people mutter to themselves, or say something to their kid and tell them where it is. Odd, boredline creepy? Sure. Most people appreciate it though. Others look at me like they wish i had never been born.






  • My daughter is very much me. When she gets on my wifes nerves, she’ll tell me to “go take care of little you.”

    The thing is, i know what i was responsive too, so i know how to curb the attitude. The only time that hasnt played out in my favor was one time she was pushing her sisters buttons, and I said, “oh theres nothing we can do about this one. We’re going to have to wait til her sister snaps and lets her have it.” My wife didnt like that answer one bit

    It aint like that around here. Ive been here for 15 years and have only heard of 1 person failing a drug test. And he was a hell of an employee. Impossible to replace.

    And it is random. The selection is orchastrated by a third party. All we do is provide an up-to-date list of names every quarter. They handle the selection and all other logistics/coordination required

    My employer cold calls people. If you are contacted, you have 2 hours to report to the “wellness center” (on site) to take your drug test. If they cant get a hold of you, they call your boss. Then its their responsibility to track you down.

    If youre a remote employee, there are labs all over the country that are approved facilities for you to go to and take the test.

    We do random drug tests every quarter. And being selected doesnt exclude you from future testing. You could, in theory, be tested 4 times a year.

    I personally havent been pulled in about 8 years, but the guy sitting next to be got it last week.

    I dont know how ill be feeling before every meal. What if i planned on making pot pie for dinner, but came home and was hungry right then and didnt want to wait or put in the effort for pot pie?

    Or what if i packed left over chicken in my lunch the night before and turns out by the time lunch rolls around, i wanted a burrito?

    Or what if people dont have an appetite due to their medication and can literally forget to eat because their body never told them they needed nutrients?
