Retail store manager. Personal devices and headphones are a fireable offense. I allow my team cellphones as long as they get their job done. I have a single headphone with podcasts playing every moment I’m not on a conference call.
When my boss brought it up I just stared at him blankly and said “when I took over this store it was failing. Now it’s third in the district and rising” then stared blankly at him again.
Edit: “god gave you two good hands! When your brothers in trouble you reach out one hand for him, unless he’s a halfling, because that’s what it’s there for. When your in trouble you reach out your other hand to the man upstairs, unless your a halfling, because that’s what he’s there for!”
Much like the US government you forgot about the veterans we also don’t take care of. We have a long and storied tradition of sending people to go fuck themselves
Damn. Reading this too late to help my horny boy. He gets mocked relentlessly at school for his horns and the name I gave him. I named him Tiny-penis. Which in retrospect I can see how young boys might mock that name.
A lot but summarized to hilarious extent. Example:
So mosses was like “guys I found a stream!” And god was like “the fuck you find?” And Moses was like “I mean god provided me a stream”
God was like “yeah it’s fine… the book i gave you described me as a chill god right? Not a jealous vengeful god… this is totally settled”
Then they arrived at the promised land and god was like “you can all stay here! Except mosses… he can fuck off to the stream he totally found”
Anyway my point is it wouldn’t be one person remembering all of history. It would be like f 451 where everyone remembers one book or one bit of history.
Sorry dbl reply. I wanted to explain my “hamburger” better. I’m sure you’re a smart person but I know I have a bad habit of explaining something a wild metaphor from left field lol.
You should also know my mental image of myself is a British person although I’m really from Texas. Forgive me if if I sound posh in my explanation.
Imagine if we carpooled together to work
Me: I’ll pick up lunch for us before getting you. You’re right hammer tho aren’t you… tell you what send me the money first! $3 for the burger plain $5 if you want it special and $7 if you want extras.
How much do you send?
Well if you don’t care send only $3. If you want pickles on the burger or chips and a shake well that’s extra isn’t it?
I’m not saying “bacon on a burger is silly” I’m saying if you want bacon ask for bacon. Don’t just pay $7 and hope you like the extras and custom toppings.
When someone asks “what are these three burgers different prices” I feel like the answer is “just get the cheap burger if you don’t recognize the Swiss mushroom difference… you maybe just don’t like mushrooms”
Edit: again to be clear I’m not suggesting you should never take risks and order the “special” burger and give it a shot on a night out. I’m just saying if the question is “different prices, WHY?” My answer is “get the cheaper one”
You want the movie? It has the movie. Boom done. If you want pickles you’ll know to ask for pickles.
It’s not the easiest way but it works for me…
Make yourself irreplaceable. That’s what I did.

He eventually stopped mentioning it.
