Anybody know how many sick days you get before they require a doctors note? I've got a fucking sinus infection that nobody will wanna be around...

When it comes to makeup, I feel like I've aged out of most formulas. I am so tired of my look but I'm 40 now and female if that matters, all that works for my skin type so far is Nars foundation. I do moisturizer, benefit primer, nars. They're all sort of expensive for me. But it's all that works. Any suggestions on foundations that work well with older skin? I have combo skin, it has a red skin color to it due to a genetic condition so I always go full coverage. I avoid blush like the plague since I'm already naturally red. Foundation recs?

And now I'm being fucked with....malicious compliance is incoming. No longer am I doing extra work for nothing. No longer am I going out of my way for the rest of the store. I'm looking out for myself, I'm doing my job and going home. Extras are not on the table anymore. Happy one year to me.

A customer that's a regular of mine, bought me a treat (a brownie that we both like and talk about all the time). Then I found a really nice basically new Japanese manga style pen on the floor that nobody claimed so I'm keeping.

In the parking lot I found 5 bucks cash. I looked around for the person, found them cause they were picking up bills from their wallet that had spilled and they gave it to me for turning it over to them. I initially said no thank you I can't accept, but I was off the clock. They put it in my hand and got back in the car.

This kind of shit rarely happens. Taking the good where I can.

Ive had her since she waa a kitten. I've never cared about anything so much. My sibling in the other hand who visits makes me uncomfortable... He makes comments like"she should go outside ", no. She's an indoor cat... Dogs and cats aren't the same. She doesn't need to go outside. ​​Frankly it doesn't matter what he wants he's just visiting he doesn't live here. He isn't kind to her. He's not mean necessarily he's just all people pets are secondary. He has a kid, I get it. I've never said anything mean about his kid in comparison. Why would I do that? Why is he so weird about my cat?

She crawled into an empty box and he treats her like she's dirty. Says with a grossed out face "isn't that where the food goes?"... No it isn't. Food goes in the pantry and she's not some dirty animal. It just makes me sad, and I don't trust him with her. ​​​​​​

Thanks for 12 years of memories, but I do believe this is my final year. I can only handle a half day at sdcc anymore as staff...and staffing is no longer fun. I joined to make friends, but left feeling like people joined for a power trip. I went solo, I enjoy solo events but it was incredibly hard and just left me a bit underwhelmed by it all. SDCC will have a place in memories with the good times, but this year was not it.

I was barely able to do anything except spend money. Panels are a nope for staff....daily volunteer has more freedom in that sense. If you want to see something but you are on shift? sorry.

People think they have something to prove so they try to boss you around in spite of this not being my first rodeo. I'm a 12 year staff and remember when it was in fact fun....This is my curtain call. I'm tired. I hope yall had more fun than I did...and don't get me wrong, some of it was fun but it didn't out weigh the stress and the fact that right now I feel steam rolled by sdcc.

May the odds be ever in your favor to do what you like and have a great time!!

In mine so far:

Sunscreen

mini handheld fan

extra power bank (x2)

ipad

hand sanitizer/mask/

water bottle/hydration packs

snacks that won't melt

What else would you guys add for a day pack?

Do yall do trinket trades at con? Was thinking about maybe making some themed friendship bracelets.

She never reacted before. But she's also had a bad week and has been stressed and a little sick? Maybe that contributed...she was so scared she would lie by me but then give up being brave and go hide under the bed. She's out and roaming today., but I felt bad. All I could really do was close the window to muffle some sound for her...but is there anything else that can be done for a scaredy cat?

3 year old is visiting my house with my siblings. The house is a wreck cause they don't pick up after him. He also isn't expected to clean up when hes done playing with toys. At three this capable child should be learning how to put his things back in the toy box, but he doesn't. His parents don't encourage him to do it.

Hes often just walking around in underwear, Im female but uncomfortable. They aren't at home they are at my house. But nobody does anything. I'm not comfortable with anybody nude not just children.

He hits people when angry and his parents don't correct. I had to dtep in and day hey, we don't hit people we use our words if you don't want to do something say that. He didn't want to take a picture. He hit his mom instead and saying that.

Lastly my cat doesn't go downstairs when they are there so eswdhe lives in my room for four days. Not fair to her. ​

He confirms how much I don't want kids.

Lmao. Just as the title states....I told her that we had nylon bags for sale, she didn't like that at all. I then told her technically the paper bags were for door dash and instacart but I could sell her one for 15 cents. She went postal and demanded a supervisor...I'm still baffled on how that short factual conversation angered Karen.

Like.

I wasn't rude or mean. I repeated what I was told. My boss was even wanting a way out of her ranting lol. I was not blamed at all. I just ...what the actual hell in a hand basket?

Yes. Yes you did.

One of my self check out machines that's normally cash is not right now because the cash dispenser isn't working properly. There are signs everywhere there can be signs. There was a sign tapped OVER the cash part so the customer could not force feed the machine anyway.

A lady goes to that machine and rips off the No Cash sign. She proceeds to then tell me the machine short changed her. I told her "Yes mam, that's why it says no cash everywhere and the machine has a notice that prompts you to proceed with only credit.

"Oh I didn't see it!"

This time I said back to her "Yes you did. It's in front of your face mam. There's a reason those signs are there because it isn't working but you ripped off my sign and thought it would work just for you. You ripped off the sign. You saw it." Yes, she did get her change back...but she had to get it back from my main console. Just because you rip off the signs doesn't mean they don't exist, Karen...

To the old guy at self check out who told me I was wasting his time with my machines....two whole ass cashiers were open and waiting. Be glad all I said to you was "There are two cashier lanes available with no lines, at this point the option YOU chose was a choice." I did say this and it did shut him up. He promptly left.

No. I didn't hold back. I won't stand there and be insulted while I'm helping your ass. I'm nice, but don't mistake it for weakness.

That one coworker that you just really don't like but everyone else claims is great?

What do you guys do about it? For me I just tend to "gray rock method" them and it works out okay.. But any other suggestions? They are the type of person who is nice to your face but talks shit behind your back to everyone. Seen it with their own friend. They act kind then spread rumors around the store like high school. Still sometimes when I see them I mentally cringe cause I know it's about to be an annoying few hours.

I tend to just avoid them cause now we're in different departments but I still have to be front end with them a few days out of the week. Do you just remain civil and tell them nothing importance or have other options?
