I am looking to play some new games on Odin 3. Mine has just been sitting there and I have no motivation to play anything on it. What games are you guys playing/played on Odin 3 that are MUST for everyone to play at least once in their lives?

I need to know if this is just my agency or if it's everywhere lol.

So my manager (and honestly most of the managers I've dealt with) are basically impossible to reach. Emails sit for days, Teams messages go into the void, and whenever you do catch them the excuse is always "sorry been in meetings all day" or "swamped this week." And like... fine. I genuinely don't care if my supervisor is busy. I do my own work, I don't need hand holding, I'm not the type that needs someone breathing down my neck to get things done.

But here's what actually gets me. They'll randomly ask for some random report that nobody even seems to use. I'll go out of my way to confirm with them exactly how they want it and where they want it sent. I deliver it. Done. And then at the next team meeting they'll go "so where is that item? I never got it" in this kind of confrontational tone in front of the entire team. So now I look like the unserious one who can't follow through, when in reality I did everything and confirmed it with you directly.

It's wild to me that people this careless and disorganized are the ones who somehow climbed into management. Meanwhile the people actually keeping things running are sitting there looking incompetent because their "boss" can't keep track of their own asks.

Is this just a public sector thing? Do you all deal with this too or did I just get unlucky?

Half vent, half asking people who actually know how city service works.

Short version: I was hired at a city agency for one clearly-defined technical/creative role, the thing the posting described and the thing I interviewed for. After I started, a separate compliance and oversight function got attached to the position. It means reviewing the office's output, ongoing reporting and coordination with another agency, and running trainings. Different skill set, real recurring workload, none of it mentioned before I took the job.

I'm brand new, so I don't want to come across like I'm complaining or angling for money in month one. But I also don't want to silently absorb what's basically a second job and watch it quietly become my permanent baseline.

What I'm trying to figure out:

• Is added scope like this something a union rep would actually weigh in on, and does raising it ever lead anywhere (title, comp, redistributing the duties)?
• Is there a low-key way to bring it up with my supervisor first, framed around scope and priorities rather than pay?
• Honest question: is there any real downside or risk to raising it this early, or is it normal to ask?

Mostly want to hear from people who've been through scope creep in city service and how they handled it without torching the relationship.

Just got permanently banned on the twitch channel for no reason at all. Been watching for more than 10 years without an issue. I guess they misunderstood my message.. idk how. But can a mod take a look and unban me? Also the mod that banned me probably should not be a mod lol

Last one got archived. Anyways, I have been waiting since November. Completely silent since.

Waited 8 months for my N-565 replacement to get approved and shipped. USPS carrier showed up, rang the bell, and left in under 30 seconds (I have Ring footage). Left a pink slip and the package just vanished from there. USCIS NEVER sent the tracking number either.

Went to the post office multiple times. The supervisor herself searched, couldn’t find it, and admitted in writing it was a carrier handling failure. USPS sent me a formal response saying the package is gone and they are not financially liable since there was no insurance on it.

I already filed the USCIS non-delivery e-request and I am filing a formal complaint with USPS.

My questions:
1. Has anyone had USCIS resend a document after a confirmed USPS loss? How long did it take?
2. Is the fee waived since this was clearly not my fault?
3. Do I have to restart the full N-565 process or is there a faster track?

Eight months of waiting gone because of a 30 second delivery attempt. Any help appreciated

Looking to buy an N Line in NYC, it can be year 2024 or 2023 maybe even 2025 if the price is right. What kind of OTD price am I expecting? Maybe less than 30k miles. Is $20k or less possible?

I'm currently working as a contractor at a city agency and in the process of being directly hired by the same agency. It's been a few months and I'm still waiting on OMB clearance, but it sounds like it's moving forward.

My question is: once HR reaches out and the offer is finalized, is it reasonable to ask for a delayed start date - say, about a month - so I can take a vacation before officially starting? Has anyone successfully negotiated this? Any downsides I should be aware of?
