▲ 29 r/work

i want to tell my boss i’m done covering shifts for my coworker, but i don’t know how to approach the conversation or have it come off like im being disrespectful or lazy.

This may sound ridiculous or like a non issue to some of you, but at my place of work we all have a set schedule, and i’ve asked for one specific day I can not work during the week and that is Monday, I tried asking for sunday but he wasn’t able to accommodate that so we both agreed that id only work sunday mornings. it’s the one day my husband and I share a day off, and i’d like to be able to spend time with him that day since we have opposite schedules and barely see each other, i don’t think that’s a big favor to ask, Id like to be able to have a life outside of work. There’s this coworker of mine that only works 2 days a week, and i love her, but the amount of days off she takes is ridiculous, and I’m the one who’s stuck covering her shifts. She works Sundays and Mondays, and this month she’s working one day out of the entire month. and i’m stuck covering her other shifts for the month. My boss tends to just schedule without asking, and he’s scheduled me all day sunday and monday, which i’ve specifically asked him not to do, I’ve worked there for 3 years so i thought i deserved at least that little bit of respect for my schedule. It’s one thing if she takes 2-3 weeks off once every 4,5 months or something reasonable like that but this has been a monthly or bi monthly thing. The most insulting thing is she doesn’t need to work, she’s very well off so she just works for fun, yet she doesn’t show up to work and everyone else is forced to move their schedules and personal lives around to accommodate her. I haven’t had a holiday or a weekend off in 3 years, and she misses work constantly for “birthday parties” and “camping” because she just can’t seem to schedule around those 2 DAYS. My coworkers are constantly complaining that they need to schedule their vacation time they get once a year around her, because she misses so many days. One of them missed their daughter’s graduation because she had already taken that day off for a birthday party. I’m not sure how to ask my boss to start finding other people to cover her shifts because i’m done, maybe if he can’t find someone he should stop allowing her to take 2 weeks off every month. it’s so unfair and insulting to everybody else. I feel bad because i’m taking 3 weeks off in September but i scheduled that time off 5 months in advance and it’s the only time off ive requested this year, other than sick/emergency days. she did recently cover somebody’s maternity leave for 2,3 months so I feel like that’s why he’s allowing this, but this has been an issue before that as well. I feel like i’m being dramatic but i’m tired of missing out on all of the holidays, family events, and spending time with my husband because i’m stuck working every weekend or working for her.

drawing eyes

i’m trying to draw my sona as a beginner artist, but i can’t seem to be able to draw eyes. i can draw eyes just fine when thats all im drawing but i struggle with drawing them on faces, especially making them proportional. this is the basic shape of the head i’ve drawn so far, any other criticism would be appreciated

u/Mysterious_Aerie_853 — 6 days ago

04 tahoe. excessive blue or white smoke during startup and white smoke when foot is on the gas pedal.

please don’t tell me the head gasket is blown. oil was recently topped off and looks fine, oil pressure is also fine. no check engine light

new sona! no art because i’m a beginner and don’t have the skills

so i made a new sona. shes a fox and bunny hybrid, weird right? does anybody else have this mix??? those are the two animals i feel are best connected to me. i also LOOOVVEEEE fox sonas so im happy. she basically has everything fox besides the ears, she’s got bunny ears. I thought that it might look a little funny, but it turned out super cute with the rough sketch i made. shes white, brown and pink (my favorite color combination, neapolitan) and i might just name her Nea because i think its cute. anyways, i need a ref sheet now :,)

coloring/rendering

day 4 of learning how to draw from ground 0. i figured out im pretty decent at drawing the features, just suck at putting them together! so I decided that I’m going to make an art piece focusing just on eyes, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out except once I start coloring it seems like I ruin the whole piece. i’m using procreate and they don’t have a good blend or airbrush tool. I’m also having difficulty figuring out what to draw next, this is a felines eyes, i don’t know if i should draw the partial face or have a article of clothing seem like it’s covering up the nose so only the eyes are visible. i just want the eyes to be the main focus. AAAAAA

i feel like when i draw the “guidelines” it looks fine, but when i go to do the line work it looks bad.

beginner! i’ve been drawing from 0 for 3 days now. this is where i’m at. i’m not sure how to fix this, the proportions are all wrong and everything’s uneven. The paw was done purely from memory and the head was done watching a tutorial, but I can’t seem to make it look right.

traffic laws

so i saw a disagreement in a comment section somewhere else and im wondering if it can be answered here.
we all know that left lane camping is illegal on the highway, but a lot of people got into a heated argument over 10th Ave south in Great Falls. some people said that the no left lane camping rule still applied all the way down 10th because “technically” that road is still a highway and it is maintained by the state. (so is river road) the majority where people were saying that the rule does not apply because it is the main artery for local traffic with a speed limit of 45 and under, branching off of businesses and neighborhoods.

I live in Great Falls (born and raised) and I have never considered 10th a highway and I have never practiced the no left lane camping rule inside of Great Falls, especially on 10th because I don’t consider that a highway. I consider it the main road, it’s just 10th ave to me. i can understand that is “technically” a highway, but I have never treated it as such. There are times the right lane is faster, it just depends on what lane has more people turning off, and the condition of traffic. I consider the highway (or the beginning of the highway) past Walmart on 10th and past the exit to marketplace. I don’t feel the need to maintain I-15 rules all the way through Great Falls. I feel i also have to add that I never hold up traffic. What are y’all’s thoughts?

need help on couch color

sorry about the mess. We just moved in and we’re trying to figure everything out, I’m looking for a couch that will look good in our living room but I don’t want a black /dark couch because I have a white dog and the hair on it will drive me insane. The kitchen is practically the same brown as the floor with black appliances and dark countertops as well.

2004 tahoe with this swoosh and loud squeak

I noticed the other day as I was driving there’s this like swoosh swoosh swoosh sound like something is rubbing against another thing in my wheel, and then a very loud high-pitched squeak at lower speeds and while turning, doesn’t matter if I’m breaking or not. it seems like it’s coming from my front driver side wheel , and it started happening after I got my pitman arm replaced after it sat for a couple months. never had this squeak or sound before that. I’m sorry if this doesn’t belong here but tirequestions would not allow me to post a video. my boyfriend seems to think when he was replacing the Pitman arm he hit the tie rod against the heatshield and bent it, but I just want to make sure it’s not the bearing, caliper, or rotor.

table walks out every time they have me as a server

I don’t really have anybody else to talk about this with because basically everybody I’ve told is just like “oh well” so I figured I’d share this story here. so a very long time ago when I first started serving at this restaurant I had a table of four hutterites come in, we rarely see them come into our restaurant in the first place but I remember them because I went up to their table to greet them and get their drinks orders, a girl at that table leaves after I get the drink order and then they all get up as I’m bringing their drinks back and tell me that his wife doesn’t feel good so they have to leave and I didn’t really think anything of it. I was like oh okay no problem. anyways a year later that same table comes in and i immediately recognized them, they where sat by our other male server as i was busy at the time, but i start walking over and all four of them are STARING at me like they just watched me flash them or something, i go up and im like hey welcome back what are you getting to drink today? their response: “i don’t know just wait and we will let you know”, as i was walking away i turn around and they are walking out the door. idk if it’s me or them but yeah weird experience and im not sure how to feel😂😂

I am a spiritual person, and used to be able to sense things, like get a feeling of if somebody was a good person or not and stuff like that, I don’t really know how to explain it, but I could look at someone immediately know what kind of person they were. I was very aware of my surroundings, my emotions, who i was as a person, I felt very spiritually connected to the world. I collected crystals of all sorts and stuff like that. For the past few years, I’ve definitely hit a rough patch in my life, recently it’s starting to get a lot better although I’m still super stressed and I feel like I have completely just lost myself. I’m not aware of my surroundings or my emotions anymore and I can’t read people anymore, at all. Like I’ve lost my touch in a way, I don’t feel spiritually connected to the world anymore, everything feels dull like it’s just not real. Like I’m just a figure in a haze and the world is just existing around me? everything from the past few years is a blur, and I feel hopeless. I’m not sure if it’s just the weight of the world and what’s happening around me, I’m scared for the future, I’m always exhausted. I want to be able to experience being connected again, but I have no idea where to start or what to do or if it’s even an option for me. I feel completely drained. I don’t know who I am anymore.
another thing that happens to me occasionally is when I am laying in bed getting ready to sleep sometimes it feels like I’m floating, it’s very hard to explain. But like my body is on the bed, but my head makes it feel like I’m floating. Any advice?

this is my first tattoo, and the only one I have. Bunnies are my favorite animal and I’ve owned two of them so I wanted to get a cute little tattoo representing that, but the lines are shaky, and the girl who was doing this tattoo made it a bad experience, so I regret it. I’ve been thinking about adding things to it (color, design) or possibly covering it up but I’m not sure what to do.
