The HP New-Gen Advent Calendar
Day Twenty-Two: Karl
Karl has always been a reasonable kid - for the most part, anyway. But he’s lost two people he cares about over the past two school-years (that’s a New-Gen spoiler I will not be elaborating on), and life outside those traumatic events has been pretty dull. Thus, what do you do while battling both boredom and trauma at the same time? Get the scoop on others’ lives and run with it of course. You see, Karl and his friend, Yann Fredericks, have been in the tea sipping and spilling business for quite some time now. They’re like social encyclopedias: They know pretty much everything about everyone.

(sneak peek from fic dropping soon! will post here when it drops or yk jst sub to minimicawber on ao3)
Maverick feels it now, a contentment that fills his bones, as he holds his clipboard and looks out onto the tarmac. The setting sun hits the lines of jets, making the aluminium look bronze in the light. It's a great end to a tiring week. Graduation for the new cadets is in a couple of weeks, so of course, they decide that now is the best time to pay attention and badger him and Ice about how to be better pilots. It's a shame, really, that the top two spots have such an overwhelming lead that nothing the pilots do would have mattered. He searches for the two planes of Ghost and Birdie, the 409 and 410 emblazoned on the side.
He hears footsteps behind him and a smile tugs on his lips because there's only one person left on base. He turns around, starting with an "I think Ghost will-"
Iceman. On his knees. Ring.
His clipboard falls—terrible clatter onto the ground. At least, he thinks. Hard to right now, with all the blood rushing in his ears.
Ice is still on the ground. Training's already ended, but he hasn't had time to change or hit the showers, so he's still in his flight suit. His hair is a little sweaty, he's flushed and the zipper is pulled down enough to see his dog tags over his blue shirt. He looks like a dream.
Maverick holds his breath. If he even exhales too loudly, maybe this whole thing will shatter and he will wake up.
Ice opens his mouth, and the next four words out of his mouth leave Maverick's wide open.
(what does ice say? what will mav do? what comes next? stay tuned!)

Sent to me by another Deli manager from another store:
"TEAM..URGENT MESSAGE!!
If anyone has vacation days/ weeks and/or personal days need to have it taken BEFORE DECEMBER 31st.!!! Please get with your team and lets plan accordingly👍👍"
Lmao
It's December 8th
That's 3 weeks to use up vacations/personals
Last minute bs because we usually have untill the end of January to use the vacations.
and won't even let us cash out vacation and personal days.
I have one week and one personal. A coworker has one week and 2 personals.
Like...
????????? If the company decided this they most definitely should have let us know 50 years ago and I could have used my vacation week as vacation days and not lose it.

on one hand i am just irritated at my school doing a thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow bc i think the food is bad and on principle bc they replace EVERYTHING w thanksgiving food so even my normal standbys arent there. like i cant even have a piece of pizza bc they put a big ham at the pizza station instead. and what makes it worse is that this semester on wednesdays at lunch theyve been doing a little world cuisine wednesday sort of situation where they make foods from different cultures which ive really been enjoying. sometimes it's bad but it's fun for the novelty of it all . and instead of putting the gross thanksgiving lunch on thursday which makes more sense anyway they're doing it wednesday and replacing the chance to have interesting food with BORING thansgiving food
