Can't Call Out Twice When Sick

This is another story from my old job that I was thankfully able to leave a few months ago.

When I was 17, my mom suggested I order from this pizza spot I've never heard of for takeout. I took her advice on it, and I ended up with the worst food poisoning of my life. Back then I only worked two days a week. My food poisoning started a day before my first shift. The day of my shift I was still sick. I was throwing up, so I called out of work. The next day, I was still throwing up. By this point I had been puking consistently for three days straight and couldn't keep anything down. I had been throwing up so much that my throat was irritated and raw and my mom was about to take me to the hospital (Never ended up going because I have a fear of hospitals and doctors and wanted to try over the counter stuff first, which thankfully ended up working.)

Seeing as Im still actively puking and ill, I called out again. When speaking to my ex-boss and explaining the situation, she went "Ok_Fan, you called out yesterday. You're really gonna call out again today?" Honestly I was pretty shocked in the moment, so all I said was "I'm sick. I'm sorry." My old boss stayed silent for a second, then goes "I mean. You're really letting the team down. We're gonna be short staffed." By this point I'm trying not to puke again, so I go "I know and I feel bad. But I'm sick. I'm calling out 6 hours in advance. I'm sorry. I have to go." We say our goodbyes and I hang up.

When I come into work after my food poisoning had subsided, my boss pulled me into a meeting to express how disappointed she was in me for calling out both shifts. I never got in trouble for it of course, but it still blows my mind to this day. Maybe if my shifts were weekend shifts I could see her skepticism. A teenager calling out of Saturday/Sunday shifts, that's a little eyebrow raising. But my shifts were on Wednesday/Thursday. I also wasn't in school pretty much that whole week, which one of my coworkers who I had a class with apparently mentioned to our boss. Did she expect me to come in and puke all over customers to prove I wasn't lying? I still don't get it all these years later.

260818 - My Collection!

Just wanted to show off my Katseye collection! Wall is cropped because it's currently housing some old drawings I made when I was in middle school, but I plan to hang my posters up soon. I also have a light stick on the way so the second image is where I plan to display it! This display is subject to change over time as I add stuff. I do also have a Pinky Up hoodie and two shirts!

PROOF MANON IS COMING BACK.

Okay guys, I just got done watching Wild, and I have some solid proof Manon is coming back. There's five songs on Wild's original track (Pinky Up, Animal, Hootie Frutti, Bel Air, and That Way) BUT there's a sixth song that's exclusive (Unloveu). How many girls are in Katseye including Manon? SIX. The reason Unloveu is an exclusive track is obviously because they're subtly hinting at Manon's return. Plus, you know who has been mentioning Manon a lot recently? LARA RAJ. Who was Unloveu written by? LARA. RAJ. It all makes sense now!!!!

Wild Hearts Theater Experience

I just saw the Wild Hearts movie a few hours ago and wanted to share my experience. There were two showings at this theater, a 7 PM and a 10 PM. I went to the 7 PM one

Surprisingly not many kids ended up coming. My theater was packed, but it was mostly teens and young adults. There were about 5 kids, and they did cause some disturbances. If they were young children I would understand, but they were older (I wanna say around 9-11 years of age). Every time a song would come on they would sing loudly, one of the children next to me was filming every single scene with Lara, at one point one of the kids dropped their phone under the seat and her older brother turned his flashlight on to search for it.

They were also trying to be funny. One of them yelled out loudly "Stop showing clips of Pinky Up and show M.I.A!!" Whenever Manon would come on screen, one of the children in the back would yell "Manon!!"

I wouldn't say this ruined my experience of the movie. A bit distracting, but I was able to ignore it for the most part. But if you're someone who's distracted easily, I would recommend waiting for Wild Hearts to drop on streaming services instead of seeing it on theaters

What Would Happen If Manon Were To Return?

As much as I would love to see Manon return to Katseye as she's my bias, I don't think she is returning. But say I'm proven wrong. What do you think would happen to all the songs on Wild if she were to come back? Would the lines be redistributed to include her? Would she just not sing during those 6 songs and only participate in the dance? If it's the second, would the dances have to be reworked to include 6 members? We know Pinky Up was originally a 6 person choreo so that one should be easy to do, but what of the other songs?

The Final Straw That Made Me Quit

I've been at my new job for about 8 months now, and it really solidified my decision to leave. The only thing I wish I didn't do when leaving my old job was give a two week notice. I should've screwed them over and quit with no warning.

It had been a very long and busy day that day, on top of that we were short staffed. Very short staffed. Three callouts. Naturally, everyone was being a bit snappy with one another because of stress. Normally I wouldn't mind that because I understand, I was also catching an attitude here or there. This job has headsets so the employees can talk to one another.

I was working the back, one of my coworkers was working the front. We both had headsets. The rush had died down, but I had a customer who had a question about something from the front. I can't remember what it was now, I think something about the fries. I turn my headset on and go "Coworker, do you know what time blah blah blah? A customer is asking" No response. ".....Coworker??" No response. "Coworker, are you gonna answer-" Then the manager in training suddenly comes on the headset and loudly goes "CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?! Coworker went on break!" I kinda rolled my eyes a bit because how was I meant to know that? So I ask the manager in training (MIT) the question, and get no response. Great. I tell the customer I'm sorry but I don't know and if she pulls up front they'd be able to help her. She's a good sport and does so.

Now, that should have been the end of it. A little annoyance, but whatever, yes? That's what I thought, too. About 45 minutes pass, I'm taking the order of another customer when MIT comes over. He had a trash bag, which made sense because the trash bin was near my station. I pay it no mind. But he stopped, opened the trash bag, reached in, pulled out some paper towels, and threw it at me. It hit me in the head. That annoyed me greatly because it's not just disrespectful, it's unsanitary. But I drop it because I'm taking an order. Whatever, I can brush it off.

Another few hours pass. By this point it's been three hours since the headset incident. I'm in the office, speaking with the actual manager about the schedule. All of a sudden, MIT comes up behind me. He gets as close to my ear as he can without me noticing, and then he screams my name as loud as he could into my ear. I jump and turn around and see he's also recording. I tell him that's not funny and ask why he did that, he says "Now you know how it feels to have someone constantly talk in your ear!" I never felt more rage than I did in that moment. It had been 3 hours since the headset incident, I was trying to ask a question to Coworker about a customer concern, I didn't know MIT was on the headset. So I snap a bit. I say "That happened 3 hours ago. Get over yourself." And MIT absolutely loses it.

The area of the office we were standing in was narrow, made even narrower by the boxes stacked. So there wasn't much room already. MIT moves so he's face to face with me, making it so there's even less room. I'm basically pinned against the wall. He starts screaming in my face, calling me a bitch, saying I'm annoying, probably some other stuff I blocked out. I'm saying he's screaming so loud people from the kitchen hears. I start crying because I'm a (at the time) 20 year old woman and this 6'2, 40 year old man is screaming at me at the top of his lungs. He storms to the front and continues telling everyone loudly that I'm a bitch and "Nobody talks to MIT like that and gets away with it!" And blah blah blah. I'm crying so hard that my manager sends me home.

My manager told our GM about it and MIT did end up getting fired over the whole ordeal, but I was done. I started applying for other places that same day and when my current job was secured, I left. One of my other managers called me a bitch on my last day. That solidified my decision to leave. I have no regrets.

Does sexual desire ever truly return after?

Hello. Sorry for formatting, on mobile

I hear that there's two ways someone can swing after suffering SA. Either you go hypersexual, or you go asexual. I went asexual. The thought of sex terrifies me to no end, and I often consider myself to be a virgin as I don't believe someone forcibly taking what isn't there's counts.

I've been in many relationships, and the first thing I let people know of is my asexuality. I tell them if that's a deal breaker, to let me know before we waste each other's time. Most of the time it's been a deal breaker. But not this time.

I've been going steady with my girlfriend for a few months now, and I'm having issues. She knows of my asexuality and - while I haven't gone into graphic details - I've hinted at it stemming from SA. She understands and she's so, so gentle about everything. She asks before doing anything as simple as even kissing me. I truly appreciate how thoughtful she is. But it's got me thinking a bit. When I say I'm asexual, I mean the thought of having sex terrifies me and embarrasses me to no ends. The thought of anyone seeing me naked, or touching me, it scares me so much and makes me extremely tense and uncomfortable. But my sexual urges haven't gone away, if that makes sense. I still have a libido. And part of me deep down wants to become intimate with my girlfriend, but every time I think of it more than just a passing thought, it scares me. I trust her with my whole life, of course, but it scares me

Does this ever go away? This fear? My girlfriend let me know that sex isn't something she needs in a relationship, but part of me feels like I'm depriving her of it, like I owe it to her somehow. I've told her this, and she told me I owe nobody anything and it's my body and I'm not some toy to be used. And I know she's right, but I still feel guilty and confused. Has anyone else had these conflicting feelings?

What time should I get there?

Hello guys! I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Wildworld tour. I'm going in October, and this isn't just my first time seeing Katseye live, it's actually my first concert ever. What time should I get there to get merch? I really really want a shirt, and I also promised my friends who couldn't make it that I'd try to get them photocards of their biases (Megan and Yoonchae). The concert starts at 8, I was planning to get there for 6. Is that good? Or should I go sooner? Any Eyekons who were able to be there for Beautiful Chaos or SIS, what time did you get there for merch? Thank you!

UPDATE: I'm Getting My Friend An Xlov Album She Really Wants And She Has No Idea

I got her the album yesterday. I was so excited for her to open it I was practically jumping. As shes opening it, she starts to go "I'm probably not gonna have a big reaction-" and then immediately gasps when she pulled it out and saw it was the Unlxve album that she wanted so bad. She covered her mouth and looked at it and shocked, and then was like "Oh my God. Wait. Oh my God!!" And started to freak out. She told everyone she knew she got the album and has been posting about it nonstop. She also hasn't stopped thanking me even over 24 hours later now. She didn't pull her bias, but she's still extremely happy and her reaction was so worth it. One of the things I enjoy about Kpop is how it brings people together, and this was an example of such!

Would Booking A 40 Minute Ride Be Rude?

Any drivers willing to tap in!

There's a movie coming out that I really want to see, but it's not coming to my local theater. It's coming to a theater a few towns away from me, however. Looking at the distance, it's gonna be about a 40 minute drive. Would any drivers accept a ride that far? How much should I tip also?

For some added context, I have a 5.0 rating with over 100 rides and I usually tend to tip 20% and I tip so often I even have the Top Tipper status. Would that make drivers more likely to accept the ride??

Is getting a makeover worth it?

Hello! Sorry for formatting, on mobile

So, in a few months I'm gonna be going to a concert. It's my first and most likely last concert ever. Growing up I was a tomboy, I never got into makeup, and tho I'm decent enough at it nowadays, I feel as if my skills aren't exactly the sharpest. I really wanna look good for this concert. I know nobody will be looking at me, but I'll be looking at me and I wanna look back at my pictures and be able to say with certainty that I looked damn good. But my makeup skills aren't there yet to be able to do that on my own. Would getting a makeover be worth it in this situation? Or would it just be a waste of money and I should go with my normal everyday makeup that I know how to do?

I'm Getting My Friend An Xlov Album She Really Wants And She Has No Idea

I myself am pretty new to Kpop, only really knowing and listening to Katseye (Not Kpop I know), Le Sserafim, ILLIT, Hearts2Hearts, and NewJeans. However, one of my friends is extremely into kpop, and one of her favorite groups is Xlov. She's not in the place financially to buy their albums, but she's been mentioning for weeks now how badly she wants their album called Unlxve. Her birthday was recently, and I bought it for her as a surprise. She's getting it tomorrow and she has no idea. I've made it my mission to hide it from her, I made her believe I'm not getting her anything Xlov related at all. She knows she's getting Kpop, but she has no idea it's the album she's been talking about for weeks now. She's convinced I'm getting her a StrayKids album (Which she's right about as well, but regardless). I'm so excited for her to get this album and I obviously can't tell her, but I feel like I'm gonna explode from excitement if I don't tell someone, so I'm telling the Reddit void

My Manager Hates Me And Everyone Notices

As the title suggests. Sorry for formatting, on mobile.

I started working at my current job about 8 months ago now. I have to say, I actually really enjoy my job. It's close to my house and my college, I get on very well with all my coworkers and almost all my managers, I got promoted 6 months in, the hours are good, the pay is good. It's a good job overall. However, one of my managers (I'll call her B) absolutely hates me and I have no idea why.

Every time I ask B for anything, she does this full body eye roll. Every time I walk up to her and call her name, she sighs heavily and goes "What, Ok_Fan?" Just a few months ago I was about to head out for a major surgery after spending 5 days in hospital and almost dying. I was saying goodbye to B and all my other managers as I was heading out. I asked if they would miss me as I was gonna be gone an extended amount of time for recovery. They all said yes, except B, who stayed quiet and then said ".....Sure." In that obnoxiously fake tone people get

I've tried to shrug it off. I have autism, so I can't really tell tone. I told myself that B probably isn't actually being rude, I'm probably just reading her tone wrong. And perhaps that would be the case if multiple of my coworkers and now even another manager hasn't confirmed my suspicions. My coworker who we'll call H is nice enough to give me rides home. H has told me that she sees a clear difference in how B acts and talks to me as compared to everyone else. I used to have another coworker, N, and before N quit she told me word for word: "Ok_Fan, I know you're probably scared to do anything because you're nice and B is a manager, but you can't let people treat you like that." Even last night as I was closing with a different manager, that manager admitted she sees that B treats me bad

I don't know what I did to make B dislike me so much, but I also feel like complaining to the big boss would be overdramatic. Me and B don't work much together. She works mornings and midshifts, I work nights, so we only end up working together for 2-5 hours if at all. I feel like due to that I shouldn't complain because I don't want to be seen as overdramatic and someone who can't get along with others, especially since I want to move up the ladder and get another promotion eventually. But I'm seriously at my wits end and those few hours I work with B make me want to rip my hair out

When do the scars stop hurting?

So, I'm about to hit two months post op and for the most part everything is great! Ive been healing extremely well and have no complaints outside of this

Last night I took a shower, and my cat was on the bathroom sink as I was drying myself. So I was talking to my cat, telling him how much I loved him and not paying much attention to what I was doing. I always dab my scars to dry them, but since I was distracted I didn't realize how close I got to one and accidentally rubbed it with the towel while drying and it actually hurt pretty bad. Pain only lasted a few minutes and I checked the scar today, it looks fine. But when does that stop happening? When do the scars stop hurting? I'm tired of having to be so careful around them

I Only Have One 1 Star And I Deserve It

I'm here to confess my sins, o other Uber riders and drivers. Please have mercy upon me.

As someone who doesn't drive, I use Uber a lot to get around. I also live in the north. Winter 2025, we got an extremely huge blizzard. I was scheduled to work that day, so I called my Uber an hour in advance as the roads were really bad. It took my poor Uber driver nearly 40 minutes to get there. As she pulls up and I step out, my phone starts to ring. I look, and it's a call from my boss. I answer, and she's telling me I don't have to come in because the store is closing early due to weather conditions.

I look at my poor Uber driver, and ask if I can come anyway to help close because she had driven all this way. Obviously I was told no. I go inside, call my Uber and explain while profusely apologizing. I cancel the ride and on top of eating the cancellation fee, I also tipped her $20 for the inconvenience. She left me a 1 star, and I can't blame her. I would've left me a 1 star, too

Please, fellow Uber-ers and Uber-drivers, have mercy upon me! I've grown and I've changed! And to my poor Uber driver, I'm still so sorry!

Being an artist with carpal tunnel is annoying

As the title suggests. I wish I could go back in time and slap my younger self for not taking the advice of "Do exercises and take breaks" seriously. I've been drawing for years, and when I was a kid in summer I would sometimes draw up to 13 hours a day with very minimal breaks and no wrist exercises. It's coming to haunt me years later. Drawing is so hard now because my wrist and fingers are in constant pain, and that's a problem seeing as I'm a graphic design major and do a lot of drawing for my classes. Currently typing this while my wrist is in so much pain.

If there's any young artists on this subreddit for some reason, heed the advice of older artists. Take breaks. Do exercises. Because being an artist with carpal tunnel is extremely inconvenient and uncomfortable and you will regret everything

First time I had a problem with a driver

Hello all! I don't have a license, so I rely on Lyft and Uber a lot to get around. Yesterday I went to the mall, and obviously called an Uber to get home. The Uber driver drove for about 2 minutes, pulled into a gas station, and told me he had to cancel the ride because of a flat tire. The tire was actually flat, so I wasn't mad or anything. I assured him it wasn't his fault and shit like this happens sometimes, he said up and down he would cancel on his end, all's well. I get out, call another ride on Lyft instead, and get home.

That wasn't the problem. Like I told him, shit happens. A flat tire wasn't in his control. However, I decided to check the app when I got home and realized instead of cancelling the ride, he had marked it as completed and I was still charged. Luckily after talking with customer service I got my full refund right away, but I think that was pretty shady of him. Didn't leave a bad review or report him or anything because I figure he's going through it enough with the flat tire (plus I got my refund so no harm no foul), but man, that was kinda sneaky and I didn't like that. Always double check the app

Edit: Realized I said I ordered on Uber the second time, I actually ordered on Lyft

I Hate My Eyes

I have this rare birth injury called Horner's Syndrome. Basically, during birth something happened that disrupted the neuropath between my brain and my left eye/side of face. Due to this, my left side is somewhat droopy. Luckily it's not too noticeable in my face overall, but it's very noticeable in my eye. My left eyelid droops a lot, and if I do anything that would require my eyes to get wide (Get scared, get excited, chug water with eyes open, etc) my right eye will open as it's supposed to, but my left will not. It straight up resembles this: o.0

Most people don't notice, or if they do, they don't comment. But sometimes they do. Sometimes they notice and they mock me and they laugh, or they act all pitiful. Sometimes they're close friends who are trying to engage banter, sometimes they're strangers, all the time it makes me feel horrible. My friends stopped joking about it when I expressed it, but that doesn't stop strangers.

My dumb eye is my biggest insecurity. Even more than my weight, even more than my scars, even more than anything. I hate my eye. I hate Horner's Syndrome. I hate that these are my eyes forever and I can't do anything about it. That's all.
