So... I work in a kitchen environment. I worked the last 3 days with fevers and breathing issues. Masked up, and heavily medicated, to make it through the day. Today I went to see a doctor about a concerning symptom.
I was spitting up blood while working. The newly promoted supervisor said that was a good thing.
I got my diagnosis and provided a sick note to my workplace but they still expect me to show up after my usual weekend off.
With a highly infective form of pneumonia.
We work next to the ER and have medical patients as customers.
I hear a lot about "time theft," but I always wonder if there's an equivalent concept for a company or corporation which lies about their employees receiving their due breaks
The (tired) face of someone who got a ✨fancy✨ Law degree out of sense of responsibility just to drop everything and become a photojournalist at the publishing and communication agency of his bestie - now family lunches are somewhat awkward.
(or: I roped myself into some kind of ModernAU because I wanted to practice drawing modern clothes - as usual)
Every time I hear a particularly out-of-touch take from an online leftist I want to subject that person to hearing just a little of what my colleagues talk about in the break room
man i miss haru. that boy worked retail AND suppressed a huge part of his identity that both tied to and alienated him from his inner family and community but refused to let it die AND went sent to jail for it AND he’s gay. truly an incredible character i desperately hope he appears in the live action
dear internet stop throwing pictures of beautifully toasted bagels slathered in cream cheese at me i don't have a toaster i don't have room in my teeny kitchenette for a toaster a toaster is a luxury here in japan as are bagels as is cream cheese
bagel places here that ask me "do you want that heated up" make me want to cry tears of joy even though all they mean is they're gonna stick the bagel in the microwave for ten seconds so it's slightly warm-ish but not enough to crisp up or melt the cream cheese a little
