I was making my costume for Saturday on Saturday. I don't know how everyone did it multiple nights... Especially as broke college students - I'm spent less than $10 on my costume and was like [emoji29].
People here started Halloween parties on Wednesday... That's four halloweens! First of all how do you go out on two school nights in one week... It's not syllabus week anymore we're actually learning. Second of all I need sleep too much to go out four days in a row.

I wish my school had syllabus week. We start on Thursdays in the fall so it's only two days of classes but they actually teach those days. Most of my professors don't even go over the syllabus anymore. They just have the document online.

Sorry, nope, I have to choose going without a phone for 1 year... Um, you realize, we are talking about 5 minutes in a cage with a roly poly bear, which in other words, more than 300 seconds or better yet, 3000 nanoseconds, well, once in the cage with that bear will feel like eternity and I guestimate, that at least 4 of those minutes, this bear will be ripping your flesh off your bones without anesthesia... Please, take the phone and I will just borrow my friends' phone for a year...just saying!:D

I'd take my chances with a panda bear. And it's not because I can't live without my phone for a year - I totally could. It's more because I want to hug a panda bear and I don't want him to run away. Like when you hug your pet and they try to get away but you keep them there against their will as you whisper "I love you" over and over. It's basically the same thing.

Also, I refuse to admit that pandas are violent creatures. In my mind they are nothing but gentle giants.
 
Yup, those were the exact words, Roy or Siegfried were whispering when that white tiger decided to give him that cuddly hug...NOT!

We call it syllabus week but there's definitely learning going on haha. Most of my professors started teaching the first day of class after talking about the syllabus for 15ish minutes... Everyone just uses it as an excuse to go out every night. I had a quiz the Thursday of "syllabus week" [emoji23]

I had an exam on the first day of class. What a better way to say welcome back than an exam.

Speaking of costumes, I'm going to my first exchange tomorrow! The theme is holiday madness, so some people are doing normal holidays like christmas (or halloween if they're lazy), and others are doing funny holidays like national cat day. I need easy, simple ideas. I didn't buy a Halloween costume this year because I was home for it, so I don't have anything for that.
I've considered May the 4th (be with you, hehe), Black Friday (get a black shirt and write Friday on it), or just doing something Christmas related because I'm already in the spirit [emoji23] can anyone think of any funny holiday/costumes for them?
 
Yeah I'd probably give up the smart phone and not with 5 mins with the bear

Besides. I miss the days of slamming my flip phone shut

I was in this situation a few years ago. I complained to HR because after going through my chain of command did nothing I was forced to do something with the way I was being treated. HR only gave me the option to either go back to my same position at my same location or leave. So I said ok here's your position. They were shocked that I said I was going to leave because I think they figured that I'd just go back. I say if you're so unhappy that you're in tears everyday or angry and upset then it's not worth it. But that's my opinion. I loved my job but hated certain management and a supervisor who I had once loved who started to change due to personal stuff going on at home. I'm a firm believer in keeping it professional and leaving drama at the door but it goes for management as well. Don't tell me to act a certain way and then think your exempt because I report to you. Anyway best decision I've made. While it sucked and set me back a bit I figure life is too short to be miserable in the workplace.

Well things only got worse, I'm now being sabotaged not only by the three people I work close with but now people from other areas are getting involved... Apparently because I wasn't nice to this girl (I mean geez she sure can dish it, but can't take it) , she cried after I clocked out for the day and now has both chefs on her side of things. I've been repremanded twice now for apparently not kissing this girl butt.......
i was also told this morning that i didnt check out with a chef before leaving which apparently is a big no no there, but then when i went to leave today the one and only chef there decided to lock himself in the office for two hours on the phone, so i basically didnt check out with the chef today either (im just waiting to get yelled at for that tomorrow at this point)
I'm basically walking in tommorow and asking for a transfer back to my old location or basically quitting at some point....
ive had about 4 restaurant jobs ranging from all types and never in my life have been put in a situation like this, or dealt with people who act like this.
I just can't wrap my head around how people side with someone who's so rude and condescending to everyone around her, but yet is so highly thought of by management is mind blowing....
I mean I'm not trying to put the blame on everyone but myself, but all I want to do is come into work and work, all the extra crap is just crazy to me.
Just to work so hard for something and then basically it all fall apart because of one person... I don't know if I should be mad or extremely upset. I'm basically going through both emotions at the same time at this point.
 
I had to take my baby to the doctor this morning and get her first round of shots. She screamed getting them, and I almost cried, but she calmed down pretty fast. And other than one outburst, has been so good today. She's a champ, but I feel terrible every time I look at her poor little legs and those big ugly brown band aids on them [emoji17]

I did the same thing. My supervisor went from loving me to hating me because I was on STD for 6 weeks for an emergency surgery. Then I was diagnosed with t1 diabetes on top of everything else I was dealing with. She had NO sympathy what so ever. But funny when her dad was diagnosed with t2 diabetes she was like OMG it's so sad he has to check his blood sugar every morning and take pills for it, my poor dad. She was just angry because she had to take care of him. I check my blood sugar 6-8 times a day or more and take insulin and ugh I hate people who have double standards. If I can't have a bad days then neither can you just because you're higher up shouldn't matter. Ah well I'm not back in the bank at another branch and they love me because of the money I bring in and the quality of my sales :)

Is there some kind of personnel/HR person you can meet with to have a mediation of some sort

shame, shame on whoever did the shots for not using princess or hello kitty or any other fun, happy band aids
Glad your princess is doing well. She has already forgotten about those shots so don't feel bad!

Our hr department is useless. I might try hr after basically asking tomorrow if I can transfer back to my old job and if I'm told no, i might then try the HR department to see if they will sympathize with me and help, but I wouldn't hold my breath

I almost said that to the nurse but she was quick enough to tell me she couldn't find the cute little kid ones and apologized haha. The office is moving this weekend and they started packing some things up. She had to go dig for a measuring tape too lol
