The manager informed everyone that since there was no school, he'd be ignoring their set availability. The schedule came out yesterday. I guess fuck any plans these kids or their families might have.

Just before Thanksgiving I hit my goal weight of 135lbs, down from 165lbs. I worked so hard, measured food, counted calories, learned serving sizes, created healthier habits, etc. Now that I’ve reached my goal weight, I’m back up to 2,000ish calories a day (sometimes I go over, sometimes under, I’m barely counting and going off of what I learned over the past 8 months). This weekend I was at a family party and my friend was there with her family. Her mother said she could tell that I lost weight and that I looked great, to which my friend replies, “yeah, but in my opinion you lost a little too much weight.” She later texted me and saying that her dad said, “I’m concerned for her. She needs to eat a hamburger.”

I have also had 3 other people imply that I have an eating disorder because of my weight loss.

I miss the days when people kept their opinions to themselves unless specifically asked.

I don't want to give too many specifics since I have an NDA but I work for advanced sector biotech company with around 1,200 employees operating across 4 states.

At the end of the year the CEO spends a week going to every facility to tour it. This year the top managers are escorting him around. No one is supposed to look at the CEO or speak to him unless he speaks to us and we are supposed to just do our jobs normally while he walks around. Out of nowhere when he's by my cubicle the 50 year old minimum wage janitor walks up to him while the managers are trying to motion him to leave and shoves his phone in the CEOs face and starts playing a, "company anthem" he said he made.

It's one of those A.I generated songs where you give it a topic and it creates lyrics and vocals and music for it. Our CEO was immediately blown away and shushes the managers when they try to say anything so he can listen to the whole song. He starts asking the janitor where his recording studio is and who he got to do the guitar riffs for it because he loved the base and starts calling over other senior management asking them to listen to the song. The guy of course doesn't tell him it's A.I and says he recorded it himself at his home studio and is just like, "Oh I know some people." When the CEO asks who sang the vocals for it. He also shows him hip hop and country music versions of the anthem which all have completely different lyrics and voices but the CEO doesn't seem to notice and just talking about how impressed he is with it and how this needs to get to the marketing team so they can send it to the investors and use it to attract clients.

Today an email went out to every employee that included an mp3 of the song saying its going to be the companies new employee anthem and is part of some workplace pride initiative they are doing now to boost morale. There is nothing that could make me less proud to work here than this.

So, two days ago I get an e-mail completely out of the blue stating that my Neato robot vacuum has been blocked from connecting to the app by parent company Vorwerk.

This essentially turned a fully functional vacuum into a brick of electronic waste. No more maps, no no go areas, no more cleaning single areas, no more spot cleaning, no more manual mode, the only "feature" left is a full clean of the entire apartment. Used that exactly never since I had the robot.

They state cyber security concerns, which is of course a thinly veiled BS excuse for not wanting to keep supporting a product that doesn't generate revenue for them.

All this from a company that openly boasts about the quality and longevity of their products. Fuck you, Vorwerk, thanks for nothing!

if you can believe it, this is not a picture from the sun’s orbit but actually from my commute home last night. 30 minutes of bumper to bumper traffic stuck in front of this. I could not see at all. I don’t understand how these are even legal

Kebbler 9" pie crust inside other brand 9" crust. 🤷‍♂️

I rarely eat baked goods for breakfast either so this feels doubly insulting. WinCo bakery

Ordered vegan bacon for R'lass the other day. It got substituted for this...

I appreciate the thought of sending the posh stuff, but I think they're still missing the point 😂

So my father has a habit of popping into town unannounced and expecting us to just drop everything and meet with him. He has done this my entire life. So a week or so ago he called me but I was in the gym so I didn't answer, he didn't leave a message so I assumed he just accidentally called. Turns out he was in town, he dropped off Christmas presents to my mom. Everyone got a gift, my boyfriend and brother in law got sweaters (he left the price tag on and the sweater was $74) my sister got expensive jewelry and my brother got some game thing that cost around $200. This card is the only gift I recieved from him. His first child, his own flesh and blood recieved a $2 card that means nothing, if he wanted to talk he could text me but he chooses not to.
