cleaning is women's work? That is not just madness it will get you fired immediately.I am confused. I came in tonight, and 2nd shift (a fairly new employee) said "Hey, I did you a big favor and got all the laundry washed and dried. I don't know how to fold it, so I didn't do that." Now, my first thought was "That isn't a favor, it's your job", but I wanted to encourage him to keep doing it so I said "Great! Tell you what. Let me go take a piss, get changed, clock in, and then I'll show you how to fold some of it real quick." He said "Great". So I go do what I said I was going to do, come back to the desk, and he isn't there. I though maybe he had to go take some towels or something to a guest, but the phone is there, the keys are there, everything is there except him. My next thought was that maybe he slipped into the bathroom while I was clocking in and he would be right back. But nope. It's been over 90 minutes and I haven't seen him. I can only assume that when I went to the bathroom, he clocked out and left. Which is no bueno.gran, sounds like a few former co-'workers'. They'd make a huge deal out of doing some small aspect of the job. They'd then leave our section of the store a complete mess because cleaning was 'woman's work'. Be sure to check punches if hourly punch clock. They'd also 'forget' to clock out and then were... let's say 'temporally challenged' time travellers...
Also a little bit stabbed

Yeah, I have to admit, I've never filed a formal complaint to HR against a co-worker, but, "Cleaning up after myself is woman's work," would be an instant referral.
It probably doesn't help that in 33 years at various jobs I've had male supervisors for exactly 4 of them.

Hope to see you again, Jason. Rest easy, brother.

Wow. Condolences.

I'm really sorry. *Hugs*

Speaking of poor leadership, "Failure to follow through on your mandates" is right up there.
Long before COVID, our VP ordered all of us to use "actual" pictures of ourselves in our Zoom profiles, "So that [you] can all learn to recognize each other."
Roughly two and a half years later, compliance is at around 60%, with the rest of the division using images of their pets, wilderness scenes, celebrities, or even Mickey Mouse for their profile.
I personally think it's a stupid mandate, but *if * you're going to make such a mandate, you should darned well back it up with some enforcement. Otherwise what you've taught your team is that it's perfectly OK to ignore anything you tell them to do and there will be no repercussions.
(It's a pet peeve of mine because it's a recurring depressing theme around here: Every group does its own thing and ignores all "mandates" for standardization, then customers complain because all our products look like Frankenstein monsters where no two pages look nor behave the same, and our docs run from fantastic to terrible with no rhyme nor reason as to how they're organized. Productivity through anarchy is not a great pathway to success.)

Damn. Pm sent.

I would add "Knowing what deserves to be mandated and what to leave alone", aka The Parental Guide to Picking Your Battles, to that list.

Oh, yeah. There are many, many stupid mandates across all organizations.
But combining stupid mandates with no enforcement is a guarantee that even your good mandates will fail.

...I just used the phrase "Pick Your Battles" in conversation right before I saw this.
No, I'm not freaked out at all. Not me.
Thanks for the support, FaWtLies. Best support team ever. :)
Sorry about your bad news, Syrus.

So sorry. That may be the worst part of this pandemic—not being able to say goodbye properly. My deepest condolences.

What I learned today.
5 is the best Roman numeral to carve out of stone.
10 is the worst, followed closely by 1.
I'm one of four people at work that know how Roman numerals work.
Engraving in stone is a ton of fun.
One being second worst is a surprise...
Wait till you get to hundred, though!

I had two 1s break before I could finish and 2 10s break, the only thing that makes 10 worse is it takes longer.
Thankfully I only have to go up to 12, which is a ten and two ones... D'oh!

Goodnight, John!
Looking in the mirror yesterday, I was struck by how much I look like my paternal Grandfather, beard and long nose aside (mine, not his). This has at least something to do with the nice smart Royal Air Force style haircut I got recently.

This week I learned that I work is featured heavily in our web advertising.
I'm absolutely going to let this go to my head.

No worries. Nine and eleven are only a ten with one one.

With the amount of people who think they know you from somewhere this is going to be highly entertaining.

And what happens if they then say 'Oh yes, yes! I remember you as the Leather Champion from 'Super Soapy Sausages IX: Revenge of the Rump Warlord', out loud, in public?
A proud moment, I imagine, whether it was actually you or not.

You know that question "If you could have any superpower, what would it be"? I want to be able to enter people's dreams, but for a specific purpose. They would be doing their normal dream stuff, then suddenly *pop* there I am. I would look at them and say "You've been in here for a long time now. Better wake up before you forget how to." and the chuckle maliciously until they wake up screaming in a cold sweat.
There might be something wrong with me.
The super power I'd want right now is to be able to point at people and they'd be wearing a comfortable mask capable of stopping the spread of contagion.
It could even be 'whatever' the person wants it to look like. Machine washable and long-lasting. Just needs to cover the nose and mouth and visible so everyone could see it. Goggles or eye covering included if desired.

It's official: Impus Major's driving makes children cry.
Impus Major was pulling up to try to back into our parking space, but he just barely misjudged the neighbor's driveway: His wheel stayed in the street, but the fender crunched straight into the unusually-high curb at that point, scraping it up a bit.
Right at that moment a woman was walking her baby in a stroller right across the driveway. The baby, alarmed at the loud and sudden crunch, woke up and started howling. The angry woman sped the stroller away without a word.
But it's not often you get to say, "My son's parking job makes babies cry!" or similar exclamations.

The original fighter-mage, and a proper old bloke.

A hot, hot, hot old day. I did some more crap construction work in the back garden, accompanied by kindly (or perhaps concerned) offers of help from one neighbour, and 'Mmm bop' by Hanson played very loudly by another. I am doing the sort of job that would get me thrown off the Captain's crew, and probably publicly flogged to boot, but no-one's having to pay me to do it, so feh.
I also did some sword and shield practice, which made me even sweatier.
