Oh look a strawberry!

Oh look a strawberry!

Working out things like shapes and stuff I think its going well. My seeds could have been a little smaller but the top looks good. Still working on the perfectly smooth finish tho. It may be my wool or my needle but either way I am happy with the results and hopefully will make a mushroom garland before my next LARP game

How do you deal with a guard that acts like an entitled diva?

So my jobsite is 24/7 staffed and I am the supervisor for 3rd shift. We aren't allowed to go home until our replacement shows up. One of our 1st shift guys took some leave and is back now but only part time. This means for 3 days a week we need coverage for 1st so its been a tag team of myself, my other guard, and one of the 2nd shift guards covering. If no one picks up the shift you have to stay. This has lead to me and my other guard pulling doubles. Its been frustrating to say the least.

My guard I called a diva in the title is about as entitled as they come. He refuses all doubles and any overtime citing various appointments or crying about how he can't sleep even if he stays an hour or 2 late. Mind you he has the shortest commute out of all the employees at a 3 minute walk! He even got a doctor's note about being exempt from forced doubles from his therapist. He makes a big deal about getting a specific chair and the only radio with a clip still on it when in the office and just does the bare minimum at the job head down staring at his phone all night with 2 headphones in.

The worst part is my bosses know and can't really do anything because he hasn't technically violated company policy. Myself and the other guard are at our wits end. After having to stay through first shift yesterday I am done. My roommate started a new job yesterday and had to leave super early at like 5:30am so I couldn't feed my cat until about 4:30pm. I had to send him home yesterday because he said he had an appointment and he couldn't reschedule it at all. He refused to say what the appointment was for and and had the audacity to say:

'You need to stay since I can't and other guard did a double yesterday. My appointment is *too* important for me to miss!'

I called my boss and she sighed heavily telling me to send him home when guard 2 on 1st shift showed up and she would have a conversation about how he speaks to me. I nearly exploded on him and when I came in tonight he noticed I was in a very bad mood and asked what was wrong. I glared and growled a very stern 'I'm not talking to you today'.

I don't know what to do about this prissy little diva. I won't get into how dirty and gross he is as I don't want to make anyone sick or whatevs but like yeah We are all done and until my boss can transfer him to the other site in this contract I am stuck with his bitch ass!

TL;DR guard refuses all overtime and to even stay 5 mins late because he's always busy and makes it everyone else's problem

Thank you.

Edit: for the record its contract security for critical infrastructure for the government. The client has it in the contract we will have 3 people on site at all times. And they are not flexible on that at all. They won't let my boss hire part time people anymore except for the weekends. I am unsure why so thats beyond me as the decision was made before I got hired 2 years ago.

So there's a local cosplayer to my area who did a version of Hatsune Miku that was an homage to a local coffee chain that's really popular and kinda the signature of the area. They are suing her for her costume. The coffee shop is suing this cosplayer BECAUSE SHE DID A COSPLAY THAT WAS A PARODY OF THEIR BUSINESS! She's stated time and time again that she did it as a parody and doesn't represent the coffee chain and she doesn't make money off of the cosplay at all. A CORPORATION IS SUING A LITERAL SMALL TIME COSPLAYER BECAUSE THEY THINK HER COSTUME IS HURTING THEIR MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS!

Fuck Dunkin Donuts! Down with Dunkins!

There was this really cool restaurant we were going to. There were 12 of us and the table they sat us at wasn't big enough so I for whatever reason got sat alone. No one was allowed to sit with me the server kept blocking anyone from coming over to my table. Borderline nightmare for me as I woke up really sad.

Long story short I took an uber home on sunday for about $70 from an event. I saw the money I had in my venmo never came out nor did I have a charge on my debit/bank account. I waited 2 days and I got hit with 2 separate charges for insufficient funds in my bank from venmo which is crazy I had enough to cover it but the money never came out. I took the funds out of my venmo to stop my bank account from going negative and now my venmo is in the negative for the amount of the uber. Why did the money not come out of my venmo when I first took the ride?

My larp is in the 16th century so we use flintlock pistols. Its band guns and people use snappers and other tiny fireworks for the gunpowder effect.

The game we just had this weekend idk what it was but I had people fire next to my ears 5 separate times with no apologies! Drove me fucking wild!

Anyone else's LARP use band guns with snappers? How does yours handle them?

Recipe is not relevant at this moment as I am still hunting for a good one. But can I get away with no top crust on mini pies? Its the Keebler brand mini graham cracker crusts.
