Hello , greetings, welcome to whatever this blog is.

Taken,as in taken by the endless fog,come into the endless fog,the endless fog is nice,it has cookies.

I have many names and being stupid is my game.

You can call me Ari,drops,Phos(Phosphophyllite), Cecil,Three, Enjou (short for "the thing that calls itself Enjou, you know,the abyss herald",like the entire phrase),Egg, Orchid, Kala(Kalameet),Blue,Fiddlesticks,Eden,Yellow, Mikila,Pon, Yowyow, Jabberwocky, and "when you read all my names and you think I'm to blame that's amore~" but you can just call me Amore.

Pronouns are they/them,it/it's,and may/hem.

If you wanna see the random nonsense I spew out once in a while it's under the tag "drops random ramblings"

I don't mind asks,so if you feel like talking about something don't hesitate to send some.

Honestly I think Guillermo has the best of both worlds right now despite him not seeing it that way. He has super sight and hearing (maybe other abilities too that we haven’t seen, like speed?), he doesn’t have to drink blood, he can go out in the sunlight. Sure, he can’t turn into a bat, but he has a lot of the other coolest parts of being a vampire without all of the weaknesses vampires usually have.

Now Nandor having to kill Guillermo (and then himself) if he finds out Guillermo went to someone else to turn him… that’s a problem

Denounce gender roles but respect gender identity.

Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.

Couple things here, for when you do this to people: 

1. if you get the “answer my call” text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL. 

They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didn’t say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all. 

2. “Lack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!” or the other version, “Not providing notice is illegal!”

No it isn’t. Neither is true. 

And in the US, all states except Montana are “at will” employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as “right to work” to make it sound better, it’s the same thing). Sure, at-will employment means they can fire you without cause, BUT! It also means that you are not legally required to give a reason for quitting, or to give notice of any kind. 

Is it polite to give notice when you can? Sure. Do bosses expect it? Absolutely. But that does not make you legally required to provide it. 

3. The only thing I would change in the worker’s interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in. 

Employee: “Hey Mark. Sorry I’m unable to cover the shift tonight because I’m studying for my exam tomorrow.” 

Don’t give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you don’t. 

DON’T DO IT.

You do not owe your boss any information about what you do off the clock, and any reason you give will only ever be used against you. 

Boss: “Hey I need you to cover Jasper’s shift tonight.”
Employee: “Sorry, I’m not available.”

And leave it at that. 

Do not elaborate. 

Do not offer additional information. 

When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. “With respect, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I’m unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.”

Be a broken record- you’re unavailable. That’s the only information they need to know, and it’s the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know. 

Please stop giving your bosses information they don’t need to know and don’t get to have, because they’re only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.

My job is HR. The above is completely accurate.

DASHBOARD UNFUCKER V1.0

as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter's. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site's actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.

HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.

here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:

and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn't received the update:

it's hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it's also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it's a good fix.

the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit "create new script", and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
