    Hey that could be me in this image.

    I’m getting up early tomorrow starting at a job where IF they give me 20 hours, it will be enough to pay the bills, just barely. So of course they are starting me with just 16 hours, on Saturday and Sunday. Only way to get more hours is to pick up shifts when someone calls off. At least I’ll have a bit of breathing room during the week to find another side-hustle, which will likely not even pay as much.

    So yeah, I’m “grateful” for it. Albeit, about as grateful as I’d be for a kick in the nuts instead of a bullet in the head.

      I had three weeks off over Christmas this year

      Oh my god it was nice

      Best of luck tomorrow, may “catching up on emails” be all the excuse you need to avoid being bothered.

    Joke’s on you, I’m a janitor at a high security facility working there when no one else is around at a time where if anyone in the world tried to reach me they’d be taken out by armed guards for tresspassing in a nuclear plant.

    As an introvert they’re paying me to spend a few hours in Heaven cleaning.

    Working during Ramadan is tiring. First week with all the students back.

    One of the centrifuges let the magic smoke out so I get to lug that over to the equipment shop.

          I remember the first time I worked with human blood. In hematology class, we learned how to clean up blood. As we were loading up our capilairi tubes into the centrifuge, I noticed a drop of blood had been spilled.

          Impressive, I thought. Good thing there’s enough time to clean that up, I thought. I go and grab the sds, alcohol and paper tower from the table closeby. I turn around to see people leaving.

          Already spinning.

          I learned that day, to never trust anything. Not the equipment, not myself, and especially not other students…

            Ooof. How bad was the clean up after that?

            Edit 2: working with human blood always sketched me out despite having proper training.

            Edit: I briefly worked in a CLIA lab.

              Don’t know. It was a droplet. My guess is that the centrifugal forces spread it out so much, that it was no longer visible. I could not find where. So I simply told the instructor and left it at that.
